FRED HARRISON Catalyst Club 12, Pres. 3, 41, Slide Rule Club 1313 Mask and Mime Club 1314 German Evening 121. Fred, owner of one of the snappier little runabouts, needs his expert mechanical ability to keep the venerable Ford running. Other than this interest, he aspires to beat the calfskins in a most Krupa-ish manner. He will, no doubt, be remembered more for his drumming than for his hockey playing. IACK HEGKENKAMP Academic Committee 141g Indoor Track 12, W3, W41g Outdoor Track 12, W3, W41. Jack, sometimes heralded as Heggie, a prominent member of the Five Year Club, is one of our most reliable track men. On week-ends jack is frequently seen in the dog wagon, accompanied by one of our numerous smoothies gnaw- ing on hamburgers after a date. On the dance floor, he is a veritable Arthur Murray. ALBERT HASTORF Senior Play Committee 141, Weather Vane 13, 413 Latin Club 12, 315 Forum 12, 413 Football Manager 12, 3, W41, Outdoor Track 12, 3, 419 Red Cross Council 12, 3, 41. As good a manager as has ever been thrown about by the football team is Al. Studious in his work but a problem to teachers, he is quite entertaining to students around him. He is also the favorite subject of the squeeze play in assembly. GEORGE HESS Football 1W41g Basketball 13, 415 Base- ball 13, 41. The handsome boy with the black curly hair you see on the gridiron and participating in other sports is George Hess. He came here in his junior year and established himself as an athlete, good student and lady-killer. George is backward about coming forward but holds his own outside. IAGK HAVILAND Finance Committee 12, 3, 41, French Club 12, 3, 41g Latin Club 12, 319 Literary Club 13, 413 Library Council 12, 3, 41, Band 12, 3, 41. Our red-headed tuba player is noted for pomposity and the ability to argue with teachers. A fine voice, a dynamic per- sonality, and a striking appearance, to- gether with a knowledge of everything worth knowing, make Jack a person to be conjured with. GEORGE HOLLAND Finance Committee 121, Junior Prom Committee 131, Senior Play 1415 Football 12, 3, W41g Indoor Track 3, 413 Outdoor Track 13, 415 Ger- man Evening 12, 313 Community Fair 131. George's main interests seem to be football and track. A swell sense of humor seems to be one of his chief assets as he appreciates puns and chuckles often over his own private jokes. twenty seven

SARA GORDON Nominating Committee 1413 Annual 141g Mask and Mime 12, 3, 415 French Club 12, 3, 41, Latin Club 12, 313 Hockey 13, 41g Volley Ball 1313 Girls' Gym Program 12, 3, 41. If you hear a cheery hello look for Sara, the well-known lone observern of all the basketball games, who has plenty of reasons for not wishing to chuck school. This vivacious blonde is an ath- lete of renown and an accomplished jiu-jitsu artist. GILMAN HAND Catalyst Club 1315 Latin Club 131, Track 13, W41g Baseball 1215 Basketball 121, Tennis 13, 41g Senior Play 141. Famed for his fleetness of foot, Gil is the possessor of twinkling legs that benefit the track team. An athletic youth, he is a perennially active partici- pant in sports. When this likeable chap is turned loose with his talent for salesmanship, Dale Carnegie must look to his laurels. ani 'Www RICHARD GRAHAM Junior Prom Committee 1313 Corres- pondence Committee 141g Senior Play Committee 1413 Catalyst Club 1413 Slide Rule Club 1315 Football 12, 3, W41g Indoor Track 3, 41, Outdoor Track 12, 3, 415 Senior Play 141. Dick is a student who boosts Ber- muda. He is often in the distinguished honor group and he won his letter in football despite his diminutive stature. Now instead of running for touch- downs, he is running on the track team. BARBARA HANDY Mask and Mime 12, 3, 413 French Club 12, Treas. 31, Spanish Club 12, Pres. 415 Library Council 121, Christmas Program 12, 3, 415 Music Festival 12, 3, 41. Barbara is the girl who's always par- ticipating in school musical affairs. Al- though this and horseback riding take up a lot of her time, she is never too busy to argue. When she isn't occupied in worrying about something, Barbara is planning the activities for the Span- ish Club. twenty-six i l i IOAN HALSTED Academic Committee 131, Annual 1419 Mask and Mime 12, 3, 41g Art Club 12, 3, 415 Photoplay Club 141g Senior Play Committee 141. Her hair is the envy of every girl and we give her credit for her new crea- tions. This year her interest has turned toward basketball and football. It seems Jack is heading toward Mountain Ave- nue more often and he and Joan are often seen tearing in her Buick. MARY ELIZABETH HANN Glee Club 12, 3, 41. Known to her friends as Betz, Mary Elizabeth has, because of her charming personality, caused a certain senior's heart to skip beats. Besides her weak- ness for the gentleman mentioned, Mary has a fondness for shoes. Serious and hardworking, though active and lively, Betz is bound to succeed in whatever she undertakes.

ROBERT HOPE DOROTHY HUDSON twenty-eight IACQUIN HOLMES Senior Play Committee 141, Glee Club 13, 415 Soccer 131. Jackie is a girl who has an abundance of pep at all times. Her winning smile has won her many friends, all of whcm are envious of her trip to Florida this summer. Her interests in sports vary from skating in the wintcr to bicycling in the summer. We understand that she likes to hitch-hike when her legs get tired from pumping the bicycle. Senior Play Committee 141, Football 131g Swimming Team 12, 3, 41. Little Hope is quite a man about town. With a ready smile, and a twinkle around the eyes, Bob always has a running commentary for the benefit of his neighbors in classes who enjoy his dry humor. He was captain of our B squad and excels in swimming and diving. DORIS HOTZE Home Room Chairman 121, Academic Committee 131, Nominating Committee 131, Mask and Mime 1413 Library Council 12, 31, Community Fair 1313 Christmas Pageant 1415 Senior Play 141, Mask and Mime Play 131. While humorous, capable Hotzie's main diversion is week-end trips to Lehigh where beer is the favorite beverage, her favorite drink is coca cola, which she sips at the Candy Kitchen with her pals, Connie, Boz, and Hewie. IEAN ETTE HUBBARD Annual 1415 French Club 12, 31, Latin Club 12, 315 Library Council 12, 3, 413 Literary Club 13, 41, Glee Club 13, 415 G. A. C. 1419 Senior Play 141, Girls' Gym Program 12, 3, 41. Our 5' 9 little Rosario is a familiar and cherished class celebrity. Whatever it may be, plays, musical functions, athletics, committees, or scholarship, Jeanne shows her capability. Jeanette conceals romantic attachments, but we'll bet she doesn't stay home every Saturday night. Program Committee 1215 Weather Vane 12, 3, 413 Annual 13, 41g Spanish Club 13, 413 Literary Club 13, 41, Art Club 12, 3, 413 Photoplay Club 1315 Mask and Mime 1213 Tennis 12, 3, 413 Creative Writing Club 12, 3, 415 Gym Program 131. This shy, dreamy blonde is renowned not only for her ability to wield a paint brush, but also for her literary talent. She is always cheerful when the mercury drops low enough to enable her to give vent to her passion for ice skating. SUSAN HULINGS Senior Play Committee 141, Annual 1415 French Club 12, 315 Latin Club 1213 Mask and Mime 12, 415 Soccer 1313 Badminton 131. If Sue ever misses her daily coke, 'hands in her homework on Monday morning, or tells an intelligent joke, anything can happen. Although she struggles vainly with her allowance, she doesn't mind Bills. Foreign corres- pondence, search for lost articles, and stage make-up occupy much of laughing Sue's time.
