HOHACE NEWTON SETZLER Academic - Spring City A pillar of strength with a heart of gold ln our midst we had Settie, whose ambition was to become a State Trooper. Students, in the future watch your lead feet, for though he made friends easily he will be sincere in his profession. A well-dressed gentleman behind the wheel of a powerful car, opposite one of the fairer sex was our mental picture of his leisure moments. Contrary to his easy-going personality, on the football field many opponents discovered the explosiveness of his aroused temper.

SMITH Industrial Arts - Spring City Good personality, better nature, best looks lf you couldn't take teasing, you couldn't take Smitty, because this was his personal way of being friendly. His favorite sport was baseball, third base being his main objective. For relaxation hunting and fishing topped the list, but driving his fathers Oldsmobile around town ran a close second. Attending a trade school loomed in the future with the position of carpenter as the ultimate goal, a position we knew Charles would attain. Baseball l, 3, 4, Allied Youth 2, 3, 4, Photography Club 2, RICHARD IRVIN SHANTZ Industrial Arts - East Coventry My only books were women's looks We were always kept up to date on the latest internal affairs of the Indians by none other than this rugged son of God's Country. It wasn't the stage- coaches that blazed the trail from Parkerford to Spring City, it was Dick's '35 Chevy working its way to South Main Street. If you desired a good argument, all you had to do was say one mean word about the New York Yankees or Ioe DiMaggio. Then the fireworks started!

SHEELEY Commercial Secretarial - East Vincent Always jolly, yes, that was Polly An ambition to become a stenographer seized this dark-haired girl and led her through S. C. H. S. She was a fervid fan ot cowboy music, and as a result ol this she could often be found whiling away the hours by playing her own guitar. Whenever a voice of laughter rang out in the classroom followed by silence, it was distinctively Polly's private giggle which had again come into its own.

PAYE DIANE RUDY Academic - Spring City A girl with a will to do, vivacious but intelligent That wasn't a gust of wind, that was Faye-and not alone on a motorcycle. Wherever excitement reigned, Faye was queen. Although school work was not her idea of pleasure, she executed it with extraordinary skill. This speedy halfback was no drawback on the hockey team. Flying low in a convertible with Gene was a favorite diversion. Her capabilities knew no ends, whether pumping gas during the summer months or quoting Shake- speare in our most dramatic productions.

IUNIOR LEE SARGENT Industrial Arts - East Vincent You talk, l'll listen and laugh You'uns was one of the words from Lee's Indiana accented vocabulary that we soon linked with him. To our basketball team was added an indispensable varsity man. Football also was not overlooked, for Lee filled well the position of guard, This was one fellow who was not only a good sport while actively participating but was also a fair player in the game of life. Construction work was a magnet to the Sargent family, and in the future Lee will prove to be no exception. Football 3, 4, Basketball 3, 4, Boys' Varsity Club 3, 4. May the 9th, rolled around at MORRIS EARL SEIBERT Industrial Arts - Spring City He was the essence of courtesy Morris' courteous manner and constant thoughtfulness won him much re- spect and many friends. His free time was divided between working on his decorated '29 and collecting stamps, the latter proved itself most profit- able. Problems Were usually mastered because of the deliberate and thorough method of attack that he used. lf and when Morris' name is added to the Navy recruits, Uncle Sam will discover the potential worth in this S.

She not only fed us, she inspired us with her advice which was given Whenever needed. Both sexes found her dark beauty captivating. Eleanor's efficient school work and her unlimited extracurricular activities were always well organized, which led us to believe she would be suited to become a buyer in a large department store.

IOHN M. SMOYER Commercial Clerical - Spring City A mighty mite among us lf a rocket ever flashed by, you could be certain it was none other than our Iohnnie, probably running an errand for a helpless classmate or a busy teacher. When there was something to be done, he was there to do it. Ambition was a major characteristic which was seen not only in his many extracurricular activities but also in his part-time job. Undoubtedly Iohn was the busiest boy in our class. Yearbook 45 Class Play 3, 45 Mixed Chorus 3, 45 Allied Youth Z, 3, 45 Photography Club 3. ' DONALD GEORGE STAUFFER Industrial Arts - Spring City His business in life was to be and to do He was one of those individuals who crowded as many school activities into his routine as possible. There were few who excelled this hard-hitting blocking back. Donnie earned the honor and capably filled the position as captain of the l949 football squad. When the spectators along the side- lines heard, Ready, set, l-2-3-4, they knew Stauffer was on the beam. His natural ability coupled with interest and determination assured our community of a prominent citizen.

Washington, D. C. These activities along RALPH E. SWARTZ Agriculture - East Vincent Limited thought-unlimited speech Quiet, that was our first impression of Ralph, but further acquaintance proved us wrong. His subtle sense of humor made him a pleasant fellow to be around. He liked to work, as well as play, and never shirked either. Employment after school, however, made his active participation in sports impossible. As the years stretch into the future, this lad's acquired land and fortune were an unquestionable certainty. To own his own farm was his only dream. Track l, Z5 F.F.A. l, 2, 3, 4. HARRY K. UMSTEAD. IR. Industrial Arts - Spring City Full of pep and full of fun, he's a friend to everyone Umpy, well known to most of his fellow students, radiated personality. His small stature hampered him from participating actively in sports5 however the efficient manner in which he managed the football team earned him a letter. He wanted very much to become a mechanic, but first expected to join one of the services where that trade was taught. Of course all this was expected to lead to the ownership of a financially successful business. Track l5 Class Play 35 Allied Youth 2, 3, 45 Boys' Varsity Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Sr. High Dramatics Z, 3.
