LOIS M. IOHNSON Commercial Secretarial - Spring City A merry heart goes all day Coming from Philadelphia in the ninth grade, Lois was a welcomed addition to our class. Possessing a mind that found humor in everything, she always managed to keep her spirits high. lf you felt the need of a diverting movie at the Penn, Lois could always be depended upon to escort you to a choice seat. At dances she could be seen doing what came naturally for Lois-dancing! MARY H. IOHNSON Commercial Clerical - West Vincent Lived in the saddle, loved the chase Strange that one so tiny had such a large interest-horses. Her happiest hours were those spent in the saddle galloping over the countryside. The form of relaxation which Mary enjoyed most was sitting in the stands as a spectator reviewing all local horse shows. Her mighty right served her well not only as a pitcher of softball but a batter as well. Few were the times she was unable to correctly complete bookkeeping assignments.

IR. lndustrial Arts - Spring City Here is argumentation without purpose Spook's sense of humor and easy going manner were his outstanding char- acteristics. His ability to kick the pigskin was clearly displayed on the gridiron. When the first day of gunning season came around, it was a foregone conclusion that this youth would not be seen within S. C. H. S.'s portals. Georges inclination toward carpentry was not only used in shop class but also was the basis of his future occupation. Football 4, Boys' Varsity Club 4, Chess Club 2. STEVEN P. KURTAS lndustrial Arts - East Coventry lf little labor, little are our gains Here Was one who liked to work with his hands-a truly efficient mechanic. lt mattered not whether it was a pleasure car, a tractor, or a trailor truck- if it needed repairs, Kurtas was Iohnny on the spot. Hunting afforded him much pleasure and enjoyment. Even school was sacrificed in its favor. As far as sports went his interest centered around football, the toughest and roughest of games.

M. BETA HOWE Academic - East Vincent Smiling is easy when you know Howe Some enjoyed swimming, but Reta found pleasure in gliding over the frozen professional manner. Hard working, earnest, which characterized Reta. She labored from the class room, and as a salesgirl. Thoughts of a white cap and a needy patient spurred her on to that day when she would receive her R. N. and would be a participating member in a career of service.

Her interests centered in domestic pursuits-knitting and cooking. As a participant in school sports, she was far from active, but the cheerleading squad for three years was fired by her enthusiasm. Her artistic temperament found ex- pression in the school's dramatic productions. When the long and short of life was mentioned, this former Royersford lass figured with her future.

Edgartown, Massachusetts, sent this dashing bundle of vitality into our midst. She did plenty of sailing there and she never lost the instinct here, for she sailed through S. C. H. S. school days in her typical manner. Although she was the baby of the class, no pampering was ever needed to help this senior. Future plans included furthering her education by attending a private school and eventually college. Mixed Chorus 3, 4. DONALD WILLIAM IREY industrial Arts - East Coventry Honor lies in honest toil If Donald ever had a care or worry, he was one of those unusual persons who never displayed it to the general public. Racing was a main attraction, and he indulged in this interest by following all the different circuits. When time permitted, he turned his attention to the soil and spent many profitable and enjoyable hours aiding his father on their small farm. A future of rural activity, farming, was Don's plan.

ROBERT L. LENKER Industrial Arts - East Vincent Very little is needed to make a happy life lt was a fortunate thing for Robert that television was perfected and be- came the miracle of the 20th Century. Lenker was able to follow the world of sports as it was flashed across the nation. One wondered how he found time to carry on his part-time employment, for hunting, fishing, and tele- vision seemed to occupy most of his waking hours. School work was not his forte, as you have judgedg however he informed us that his next move would be to learn to butcher skillfully. CHARLES EDGAR LOCKART Industrial Arts - West Vincent His smile rescued melancholy moments One scarcely expected Edgar to be musically inclined, but contrary to this, his fingers were seen gliding over the accordion keys. The Allied Youth Talent Show included a few numbers by Edgar, This lad hailed from the rural area, perhaps this accounted for his quiet mien and that dash of bash- fulness. Here was a rugged outdoor man who took scouting very seriously. His preferred good deed was teaching any young feminine amateur the art of skating.

His marks were about average in every subject, but we soon discovered that chemistry was his favorite. He whiled away many a summer hour fishing at the shore. Keith enjoyed all high school sports, and we always appreciated the effort he showed while selling refreshments at the football games. However, his more lucrative position was that of working for a florist. Band 2, 35 Dancing Club 25 Hobby Club Z5 F.F.A. 4. IOYCE ANNE MCFARLAND Commercial Clerical - East Pikeland Some are born great, some achieve greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them A tiny, well-dressed girl roaring by in a large, shiny car was always a sure sign of Ioyce. To substitute for her lack of dramatic ability, she rendered her services back stage by taking charge of properties and seeing that the characters were on stage at the correct time. Being rather uncertain as to what her immediate future would hold, she was seriously considering sec- retarial workg but we foresaw an able housewife.
