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.

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.

WARREN REX McGLAUGHLIN Academic - East Coventry His corn and cattle were his only care And his supreme delight a county fair Many fine traits were a part of Rex's make-up. His friendly ways and will- ingness to do were ever present throughout his high school days. Although registered in the Academic course, this Future Farmer of America was keenly interested in agriculture. In both dramatic productions of the class Rex portrayed the part of the young lover. Thanks to his aged chariot, transportation was never a problem. With college days behind him, Rex will be competent to dictate the policies of the chicken business.

ROBERT EDWIN MCKISSIC Industrial Arts - Spring City Every inch a man Should one ever want anything put in a high place, he called on Bob, This six feet three inches of man was always clothed to the nth degree of neatnessfwhether he was in school or on a heavy date. As a result of his pleasing disposition many became his staunch supporters. All that was needed to keep Bob happy was a good game of chess and a few cases of Pepsi Cola.

Next LAVERNE RUSSELL MAUTE Industrial Arts - Spring City Never idle, never still, talk he must and talk he will lake was one fellow who never let lack of height mean lack of friends, especially girls, As an avid fan of basketball he found an outlet for his ability to make long shots by playing on the Lutheran Church team, These two pastimes, girls and basketball, constituted the highlights of his school year. Although he never worried about lessons, we cannot say he didn't like school, for being one who worked with his hands, lake lived for shop class and a future of carpentry, Basketball l, 2, Baseball l, Track l, 2, Radio Club 2. RAYMOND RONALD MILLER Industrial Arts - East Coventry Unseen, unheard-but a man of integrity This lad was a native of Parkerford who traveled to Spring City High School by way of the East Coventry bus, which his father operated. Since much of Raymond's leisure was spent hunting, fishing, and trapping, no one was surprised when he failed to attend school on the first day of these respective seasons. Consequently little time was left for sports or other school activi- ties. In the shop and in the classroom he displayed his potential capacities. Mechanics Club 3, Radio Club 2. Tu'c'r1ly-fum
