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.

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.

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.

Class Prophecy I was on my Way to the Spring-Ford Country Club to attend the tenth annual reunion of the Class of 1950, when I heard a whistle blow and realized that I had been slightly exceeding the speed limit. I nat- urally stopped and waited for the officer to come over from his car. What a surprise I received when I saw who he was-none other than Horace Setzler. Of course I re- ceived a ticket because he was a very con- scientious policeman. After that I continued on my way and arrived fifteen minutes early, just in time to see the construction tycoon, Lee Sargent, with his secretary, lean Finkbiner, and his sister-in-law, Faye Rudy. I proceeded to go into the club when two men carrying flowers brushed past me and hurried into the banquet hall. I couldn't imagine who they were until they placed the flowers on the table. I then discovered them to be Donald Prizer and his worthy assistant, Keith Long. After everyone arrived we began to eat. A very delicious meal was served by Robert McKissic's Catering Service. He was aided by three competent waitresses who turned out to be Florence Good, Florence Wilson, and Iane Yocum. The groceries for this affair were purchased from Robert Lenker, who now owns a large Super Market in the Twin-Boroughs. The after-dinner mints were cheerfully donated by Bud Boettger's Best Bonbons G Co. During the dessert which was delicious pastry from Ellis Beard's Bak- ery, we were attracted by a commotion at the door, there was Beege Plumley, late as usual. I guess he never will change. Never forsaking his big appetite, Ralph Swartz once again amazed us by eating three times the usual meal. This time with dire results, for he became very ill. How- ever, our faithful and efficient nurses, Doris Anne Edwards and Reta Howe, came to his assistance and he was soon relieved. After the excitement subdued our worthy president, Larry Davis, now married to a famous New York model, arose to introduce the speaker, who was the renowned coach of the Michigan Wolverines, the Rose Bowl champions. This famous gentleman was none other than our former high school coach, Eugene Groff. The Davises in order to attend had finally managed to obtain a baby sitter from Harry Umstead's Handy Baby Sitters. After the speech, while Paul Casner's orchestra was warming up for the dancing which was to follow, I had time to mingle with the crowd and find out what had hap- pened to some of my former classmates. I noticed a distinguished businessman ap- proaching and recognized him as Earle Nelson, who owns and operates his own funeral home with the co-operation of his schooltime sweetheart, Barbara Hetrick. Sitting alone in a corner was my old school chum Doris Eckenrode, who had never found a man wealthy enough to support her. Doris is now in the carpentry business for herself. My attention was drawn to the opposite corner by the singing of a tall, stately blonde. Curious to know who she was, I went over. Her song stopped immediately upon my ar- rival, and there was Ianis Place, now a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company. The music of the orchestra began, and I found myself dancing with Hansell Navar, the great horse show promoter, who was telling me about his last show in which Beverly Iennings, Mary Iohnson, and Sally Auld carried away the coveted prizes with their streamlined thoroughbreds. Looking over Skippy's shoulder, I saw Bob Mull and Laura Ibach, now Mr. and Mrs., dancing cheek to cheek. We foresaw this match ten years ago. At this time we were honored with an accordion solo by Edgar Lockhart, who now holds a very important position in the Boy Scouts of America. During the next number I saw a well- dressed woman dancing with a tall blond man. It was Ellie Setzler, the buyer for Girnbels, who had never married because of her careerg but since she was dancing with George Iones, the bachelor carpenter, there must still be hope. Thirty-three
