IANET PAULINE UMSTEAD Commercial Clerical - Spring City A small package of cheer Everyone knew and recognized lanet because of her soft, blonde tresses. Her extracurricular activities were limited, but those that interested her she gave her all. Football and skating were her chief diversions in the sports world. At home she could usually be found with her nose buried deep within the pages of her stamp album, as this age-old hobby fascinated her. We remembered lanet for her knack of listening and reserving her remarks for some worth-while purpose. Newspaper 2, 3, 4, Allied Youth 2, 3, 4, Arts and Crafts 3. ,im'3? ?gqsl VSQ .. KENNETH LARRY WADSWORTH Industrial Arts - Spring City His worth is more than the Worth in his name Adventure stories, from Robin Hood to Superman, were well known to Larry. His creative nature was displayed by his adaptability in shop class. Swimming and football were tops as a means of relaxation and enjoyment. Possessing a diploma from Williamson Trade School enabling him to fill a position as a machinist was the goal toward which he strove. Two factors aiding Larry in his climb to success were a studious mind and helpful hands.

WALT Academic - Spring City Speak up so the world can hear you loan, a rather quiet individual compared to the Class of '50, was easily recognized by her copper crowning glory, She was musically inclined and added her talent to the Mixed Chorus. Although Ioan clidn't participate in many school activities, her time was spent advantageously by practicing the fine art of housekeeping in which she was most proficient. On the lighter side she enjoyed taking trips because driving fascinated her. Allied Youth 3, 4, Girls' Chorus 2, Mixed Chorus 3, Photography Club l. RANDALL NYMAN WEAND Industrial Arts - West Vincent It's good to live and learn Randall was always consulted concerning the position of the A's in the American League. His interest in baseball didn't end there, for he dis- played his ability each spring on the Spring City diamond. A quiet, likeable fellow with a friendly smile and kind words demanded respect from every- one. Speckled trout and ring-necked pheasants were not uncommon dishes on Randall's table, because this ardent sportsman knew no limits. ln the future, however, while working for the Bell Telephone Company, these activities will have to be curtailed.

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.

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.

FLORENCE E. WILSON Commercial Secretarial - West Vincent She traveled as one with poise and grace One of the tallest girls of the class, Flip was always neat and becomingly dressed. Her light blue eyes and dark brown hair presented a very striking picture. With all these she had a wonderful sense of humor. Florence was the ambitious type of girl, working as a waitress in a local restaurant on week ends and during summer vacations. The world was indeed her oyster, for she possessed what it took to crack any shell. Mixed Chorus 3, Newspaper 3, 4, Allied Youth 2, 3, 4, Arts and Crafts l, 2, 3. IOANNA M. WISLER Commercial Secretarial - East Vincent As merry as the day is long This was one of the few girls in our class who loved baseball and was a fan of the Phillies. Writing letters, listening to popular music, and watching interesting television shows provided profitable leisure hours. Ioanna dis- agreed very much with the slogan, Silence is golden, for talking and Joanna were one. Speed, accuracy, and ability were in evidence in all her typing. Her desire to become associated with a business firm in Phila- delphia was paramount.

This fair-skinned blonde walked through our lives with the ease, serenity, and quietness of a queen. Though to some being a spectator at sporting events and movies would seem tame, to lane they afforded the main source of entertainment.
