Glali. o-j '47 Over one hundred years ago a Ken- tucky farm boy had his “commence- ment.’' To him it was not the end of his education in a school, but it was rather his advance from the duties of family life to going out in- to the world on his own way. For his commencement there were no gradu- ation exercises, no cap and gown, and no announcements. That man was Abraham Lincoln. Tonight nearly one hundred sen- iors of this school will have their commencement. For some it will be another step in their path of super- vised education. For many it will be the termination of their instruction in schools. But for all it will be the end of a colorful era in their lives and the commencement of new re- sponsibilities and duties. To all, as to Lincoln, commence- ment brings with it a feeling of ma- turity. There is the realization that at last one is “on his own.” To Lin- coln. advancement from household education to a man’s duties was a test of his fitness for a new routine of living. This year’s graduates will be tested in much the same manner. This class will be judged individu- ally and collectively by those in a position to be of help to these gradu- ates. As shown in the drawing above, the high school record will be con- sidered in judging the graduate who applies for a job. Those persons who hold good records can feel justly proud of their accomplishments in obtaining it. With this thought in mind, we wish good luck to the Class of ’47. The freshman class of 1943-44 numbered nearly 200 students with 40 honor students the first term. Officers were soon elected; the returns showed Marian Field—presi- dent, Delbert Swartzentruber—vice-presi- dent, Betty Kildow—secretary, and Billy Kildow—treasurer. The main social event of the year was the freshman party which was held March 8, 1944. Those who attended will remember the success and entertainment of the party. For an introduction to the program of the evening Warren Mann “beat out’’ a fast tempo on the drums which was followed by the mellow, eroony voices of Jack Liller and Bill Kildow as they sang “This Is A Lovely Way to Spend An Evening.” One can remember the silvery notes played by James Smart on his clarinet personifying Benny Goodman and the soft, sweet music of Jimmy Dorsey’s sax characterized by Bill Stanton. The next year Nancy Foster was elected president of the class and the class party was again set for March 8. Amusement for the evening was a bathing beauty contest presented by six boys of the class: Jack Teets, Billy Stanton, Darwin Martin, Harold Bachtel, Jimmy Smart, and Delbert Swartzentruber. Billy Stanton, clad in South American dress, did a number which could hardly have been out-done by Car- men Miranda herself. The junior year was one of the loveliest when the class felt so important yet it was at its blindest stage. Jimmy Smart was elected president, Nina Faubcr—vice-presi- dent, Lois Burger—secretary, Mary Hoult —treasurer. Donald Depollo’s orchestra was selected for the prom. An Hawaiian theme was set for the prom and Hawaiian leis and memory cards were distributed. Another junior memory was the Thanks- giving Day assembly, Turkey Turns the Tables,” presented by III A. Jack Liller Beth Shirer, Betty Lantz, and Ernest Oren- dorf had parts in the play. The play ended with Jack Liller, the hero, confessedly stating, “I guess all three of us are a couple o’ dopes.” The senior year was filled with many activities for the class—ordering name cards, announcements, taking pictures and measurements for caps and gowns. Glenn Hansford was elected president of the sen- ior class, vice-president—Milton Fike, sec- retary—Nina Fauber, treasurer—Ina Claire Jenkins. The last social event of the year was senior class day which was held June 5. After spending a busy year in social events and studying, the class prepared for graduation. PAGE SIX THE ACORN SENIOR SECTION Inquiring Reporter Many Grads Plan To Work This Summer, Go To College In Fall What do you expect to do after you graduate from high school? Arlene Livelihood—As far as I know, I plan to work in an office at the paper mill in Luke. Bob Stanton—I am going to enter one branch of the Armed Forces if I can. Betty Lantz-—I expect to work some- place this summer and go to school in the fall. Rose Ina Beckman—After graduation I plan to work in one of the local doctor’s offices as a secretary. James Murray—I intend to spend my summer working in Jackson’s 5 and 10. Lucendia Liller—If I can get the right job, 1 want to get a job as a waitress in a restaurant in Washington, D. C. Betty O’Brien—I am going to remain at home this summer and go to Akron, Ohio, in the fall. Jim Foy—“Fool around.” Harry Rounds—“Same as Jim. Naomi Cannon—I plan to work at Jack- son’s 5 10 this summer, get married in the fall, and then WORK some more. Ralph Britts—I earnestly desire to do as little as possible during the summer and go to college in the fall. Rose Marie Del Signore—After I gradu- ate, I shall live with my parents after which I expect to marry—(?). Beth Shirer—I want to work around home this summer; in the fall I shall at- tend Potomac State College. Mary Lee Shuttleworth— Following my graduation, I shall go to Pittsburgh at a secretarial position of some sort. Glenn Rodehcaver—I will probably work on a mail route this summer and either go to collge or work in private employment in the fall or winter. Ina Claire Jenkins—I plan to stay in Friendsville this summer and enroll in the University of Maryland in the fall. Message to Seniors From the Principal Your editor has requested that I write a few words for this, the final issue of the school paper for the school year of 1940- '47. Of course at this time of the year, the members of the senior class rightly deserve most consideration. The spotlight casts its rays of light directly upon them. Each member is up for close inspection by the school and the public. It is our earnest hope that each will pass this inspection with credit to his school and to himself. To each member of the class, 1 want to say that we were very happy to have you as a part of our school family for four years. There will be, of course, others who will take your places, but you will be missed. It is our sincere wish that each of you will find your future years happy and prosperous. If you find that your school can serve you further in any way do not hesitate to call on it. It is still your school. Can’t Stop Studying—Even Between Classes A Diploma Is The Win in This Race We’re in the home-stretch! The show is the graduation exercises, the place is Mt. Lake Park . . . and the win is getting a diploma. A lot of faith has been staked on the winners. The nice part about this race is that every competitor stands an equal chance of taking the honors. As is the case in all races, the success of the runner de- pends on the jockey. In this instance, perseverence is the jockey. After four (maybe five or six) years of pushing, suf- fering. and hard labor the finish line has been reached. The laurels have been awarded to us. We have a diploma! Ah! yes! dear ole high school days have come to an end. Memories! We have gohs of them. Some give our spirits a lift, others make us a little squirmy. As we sent out our an- nouncements we thought, “These peo- ple better send a gift worth over 12c. (9c. for the an- nouncement. 3c. for a stamp) or I’ll be in the hole.” The real hour of agony was right af- ter the graduation exercises when di- plomas were being switched around and given to their right- ful owners. There was that awful sickening feeling deep in our stomachs that maybe we’d never find our own. Oh woe! Then, lo and behold some dear soul places the precious hunk of paper in our grasp- ing hands, we see our own names and four years slip by our pasts. into THANKS! We, of the Acorn, take this oppor- tunity to thank sincerely Bells’ Stu- dio of their excellent work in pre- paring photography for this year’s paper. All the pictures in this Senior Section, as well as the regular Acorn, were made by them, and the success of this issue is due in a large part to their fine workmanship and cooper- ation with us. SENIOR SECTION THE ACORN PAGE SEVEN Year’s Big Social Event, J-S Prom, Is Gala Affair To the well-rendered music of Regis Kerins and His Harmony 8,” a large crowd of seniors, juniors, alumni, teachers, and other invited guests jammed the auditorium on the night of May 8 for the school’s annual big social event, the Junior- Senior ‘Prom. The dance floor was crowded for most of the dances, al- though the group gave way to the jitterbug spcialists on a few numbers as the orchestra went through its repertoire of modern dance favorites. Highlight of the evening for some (and probably most) of the people was the refreshments, consisting of cup cakes and fruit punch, which were served by the refreshment com- mittee. In keeping with the prom’s slccp- ing-Indian theme, the decorations featured large and small wall murals depicting Mexican scenes, streamers of various colors and a luxuriant array of multi-colored balloons. The balloons were cut loose from their supports on the ceiling of the audi- torium at the close of the affair and allowed to drift down into the hands of dozens of souvenir seekers. Booklets entitled Memories” were furnished for the evening’s couples and stag line. They were decorated with cacti, sombreros, etc.; inside there was space for autographs, dance program, and memories which were especially cherishable. Following the tradition of former years, the style of dress was set at semi-formal. Practically all of the ladies proudly exhibited their even- ing dresses, and the young gentlemen had that well-dressed look by sport- ing their best dress suits. (What! No tuxedos?) Marshall Moats, Jr., junior class president, was hopeful that the af- fair would be successful. The gener- al opinion is that his hopes are more than realized.

A Christmas as- sembly, featuring music by the Glee Club and pantomimes by the Dramatic Club, was presented to the student body. In February' the organization sang two selections for the first of the Rotary Club’s forums; they were ‘'Give A Man A Horse He Can Ride,” and “The House By the Side of the Road.” This first public performance of the club was acclaimed to be a success. Spring Concert In the joint Mother-Daughter banquet and P.-T. A. meeting held in May, the Glee Club presented its Spring Concert. The program consisted of several numbers sung by the whole group, among them, “Donkey Serenade,” Two Guitars,” and “Will You Remember?” Novelty numbers were presented by three quartets, two made up of boys and the other of girls. The boys’ quartets vocalized on Susan Jane” and “The Bulldog and the Bullfrog.” For an encore, both quartets combined to sing The Bee and the Pup.” Graduation At the graduation exercises June 10 the senior members of the organization will sing Dear Land of Home” from Finlandia and “Recessional”—Kipling. The year’s practice sessions were in the regular club periods and for part of the year on every other Friday. Betty Kildow was pianist for the group for the entire year. Cheerleaders Complete Eventful Year, 46-47 The Cheerleaders, under the instruction of Mrs. Miller, have had a successful sea- son in many respects. They were handi- capped somewhat since there were only three maroon skirts for seven cheerleaders, and the sweaters resembled one another in color only. A dance was held at the beginning of the year to boost the treasury, but returns were insufficient to remedy the situation. At the meeting new yells and motions were made up. mauled over, and finally put to work. The meetings were held any place from the athletic field to the office. The girls made an attempt to unnerve the Aurora Bears at the home game when they escorted two scantily-dressed six- year-olds bearing a large placard, “THE AURORA BARES.” The Cheerleader's hold-over members for next year are Molly Smart, Gloria Johnson, Barbara Pollock, Emily Martin, Barbara Winters, and Della Biggs. They are planning to have better uniforms, a better system for the students to learn the yells, and they will strive to “Keep ’em Yelling.” SENIOR SECTION THE ACORN PAGE ELEVEN ACORN STAFF County Championship Is Won By Hilander Team Oakland High School’s inlanders again came through to capture the Garrett Coun- ty Scholastic Basket hall Championship. The championship was hotly contested, with Ac- cident and Oakland being the main seekers of the title. Oakland clinched the title in their final game of the season, at G rants- ville, at which time they won by a one-point margin. The season was characterized by a spirit of good sportsmanship and keen playing. Highlight of the season was the trip to Hagerstown where the team battled Hyatts- ville, Md., in the class B” sectional tour- naments. An anti-climax to the season was the Booster Club banquet, in which the team presented Coach Watson with a Rey- nolds pen. Amazon Players Finish Year With Good Record By winning five and ticing one out of a total of ten games. Coach Ruth Field and her squad of Amazon lassies proved them- selves to be better-than-average artists in the game of offensive and defensive basket- ball. They won in both contests with Grantsville and Bayard, and they took one game from Accident. The coaches called the second game with Elk Garden a “draw.” Serving as a victorious climax to the season, the final game with Grantsville, which ended with the Amazons holding a one-point lead, was generally accepted as reward for a year of hard practice. The team members and coach were honored at the Booster Club banquet. PAGE TWELVE THE ACORN SENIOR SECTION FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The F.F.A. Club, which was not given too much publicity this year, was, perhaps, one of the most active clubs. The club has 38 members which is 100% of the agricul- ture boys in high school. Every boy is raised to the highest degree in the chapter to which he is eligible. During the year they participated in cattle, corn, and potato judging contests at Frederick; poultry and milk judging con- tests at College Park; poultry judging and public speaking contests in the county; and several contests in the community. Last fall a turkey was raffled off and magazines were collected through the year to build up the treasury. Then in January most of the older boys attended the Penn- sylvania State Farm Show in Harrisburg. A large social event held by the club was the F.F.A. banquet in which fathers, mothers, and sons attended. Soon after- ward an exhibit, of carpentry, electrical work, pipe fittings, tin and steel work, and many other accomplishments were dis- played at the final P.-T. A. meeting. During the latter part of the year 2500 trees were planted on the proposed new school site. As a last activity of the year the group spent a three-day camping trip near Bittinger, Md. STUDENT COUNCIL SENIOR SECTION THE ACORN PAGE THIRTEEN HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economic Club has had vari- ous activities during the year. Several members attended the annual state meeting at Westminster and the sectional meeting at Williamsport in which Dolores Ream was elected regional chairman of Garrett, Allegany, and Frederick Counties. The club has become an honor club in the region. To gain such merit they had to meet 12 requirements. Several of the re- quirements were to report in social and professional work accomplished by the club and to accomplish an item of world service. In May the club chanced off a candle- wick bedspread for the benefit of the club next year. Officers elected for next year are Freda Swiger—president, Wanda De- Witt—vice-president, Dolores Whittacrc— secretary, and Dorothy Gilbert—treasurer. All of the girls participated in the style show presented by the Home Economics Department. In the show all the Home Ee. girls modeled the numerous types worn by high school girls. Some of the models were shown wearing different styles of sun suits, slacks, night wear, school clothes, and eve- ning gowns. The same evening of the show punch and cookies were served; the refresh- ments were made by the Home Ec. girls. Retaining officers of the club arc Dolores Ream—president, Dolores Paugh— vice-president, Beatrice Spiker—secretary, and Gene Uphold—treasurer.
