DORIS MAE ECKENRODE Commercial Clerical - Spring City Learn a little, laugh a lot After many other functions connected with school have long been forgotten, former students will remember the wonderful parties given by Doris. No one was ever fooled by her demure spurts of quietness, for the twinkle in her eye still shone, signifying the storm might break any moment. Even though her plans for the future were vague, we knew that her old trait of letting things go until they straightened themselves out would pull her through.

LORRAINE NAIOME CHALLIS Commercial Clerical - Spring City Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low- We proclaimed this raven-haired miss the beauty of our class. Looks were not her only asset, for her artistic talent was just as prevalent. The graceful dignity with which she marched was a credit to our band as she carried the American flag. Painting and sketching were two natural activities which Lorraine developed by joining a local art club. With this fine background she had an excellent start on the way to becoming a commercial artist.

CHRISTMAN Academic - East Coventry She is busy all clay through Doing what she shouldn't do Fun and Gertie were synonymous. This characteristic became a part of all her extracurricular activities. As a color guard in the band she popu- larized the slogan, Gertie, get your gun. Her dramatic ability was not limited to the stage, for this budding thespian performed incessantly. Not one to excel in the romantic languages, Gertrude's artistic talent at the piano was quite noteworthy. Whether she pursued a career as an accom- panist or a partner in domestic tranquility remained unsolved.

When high school days were past, he hoped to become a successful radio and television engineer. Since his marks in S. C. H. S. were commendable, it was expected that he would sail through Columbia Institute of Radio Broadcasting with- out difficulty. Though his sports activities were limited to two years of track, he was a spectator and rooter at most of the other games.

LAWRENCE RAY DAVIS Industrial Arts - Spring City Never a saint, never a devil-just Larry This bundle of energy radiated enough spirit to keep the Class of '50 in line throughout our school days.

Seldom was there to be found such a happy combination of hard work and stimulating humor in one being. Obstacles will be overcome in life, for a spur to success is self confidence-that indeed was his distinctive trait.

FISCHER Industrial Arts - East Pikeland Work! No, that's too difficult Residing in Kimberton, Harry brought to S. C. H. S. some of the flavor of East Pikeland. His lack of interest in most studies was balanced by his interest in art class. This ang1er's skill was evident when on the first day of trout season his full number of fish were caught. Much of his time was spent in learning the mechanical details of his own car, which knowledge he hoped to put into use when he operated his own garage. Allied Youth 3, 4, Railroad Club l. LOREN G.
