1C ADMY MIKE AJAX M'-SSiuE THE STORY BEHIND THE YEAR... Most of life’s activities are cyclical. Such patterns are predictable. A school year is no exception. The fall opening with new notebooks, course changes, and the in- evitable soaring soccer ball; winter's snow and P.T.A. programs, term papers and Christmas vacation; finally, spring with its fresh warmth, prom decorations, and com- mencement announcements . . . this is our pattern. We believe that it is rea- sonable to record these ac- tivities as enacted by our stu- dents so that readers may al- ways note this group's spe- cific cycle. This is their story . . . This is their book . . . DR. WILLIAM M. BRISH Superintendent of Public Schools Washington County, Maryland WASHINGTON COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION David R. Brewer, William M. Brish, T.

Educators seem to agree that no transition in a student's school life is more significant than when he moves from sixth grade to junior high school. No longer is there a single instructor before the class all day; no longer is there the comfort of familiar surroundings. In place of these necessary childhood conditions, the junior high student finds great activity. There are various classes on his schedule; there are clubs to join, dances, and a school team to cheer for. Many important steps toward a profitable or an un- successful high school career are made in these new surroundings. 21 There's a crowded hall between each class. There's a new area of knowledge to master. There's a new way of learning. But there’s always a laugh, and maybe a little horse-play. 22 Sandra Aleda Don Larry Ronald David Chaney Crawford Crawford Crawford Conrad Danfelt 23 Steve Davis Kathy Dick Mike Driesbach Bob Ebersole Nancy Ebersole Richard Eichelberger Lester Everitt William Eyler William Higgins Pam Hose William Hose Kristine Ferry Janita Foltz Jackie Forsythe Gary Frick 24 Larry Gross Ann Gruber Richard Guessford David Harsh Anna Hensell Larry Izer Laura Jones Pat Jordon Dennis Keeney Rosemary Kesselring Brenda Kinzer Marvin Hott Roger Hott Ted Householder Bernadette Hutzel Betty Hutzel Larry Kees Mary Kershner 25 Phil Kretsinger Diane Landis John Leasure Linda Long Don Magruder Rosanna Malott James Maloy Cynthia Martin Cynthia Mellott Bob Mitchell Gregory Moller Verna Mouland Nancy Myers Vicki Myers Judy Sharer David Sheppard Richard Silvers Richard Newland Robert Peters Wanda Reid Betty Rhodes Nancy Rockwell Richard Schroyer Dennis Shank Richard Shank 26 Alvin Simpkins David Simpson Wanda Simpson Gladys Smith Robert Snyder 27 John Weimer Dotty Williams Ronald Wilson Andrea Wolford Sherri Zaffaroni WILLIAMSPORT DAY Thursday, September 6th, was Williamsport Day. This program was part of the area's Civil War Centenial. The new park was dedicated; various military groups, including the U.S. Air Force Band, performed; our local bearded generals were on display; and the day concluded with a fine parade and ox roast. The W. H. S. Band participated in the events along with other county bands. Students were dismissed from school at noon to aid in various preparations at the Community Park and along the parade route. It was a day which will be pleasantly remembered by local residents for many years; a joyous celebration of one of the darkest moments in U.S. His- tory. 1963 GUNEUKITSCHIK STAFF A new type of book, a new publisher, a new staff, a new advisor. These elements made for an exciting year's work. The basic aim of this group was to re- model the annual and present a book which tells the complete story of all student activities, rather than concentrate on a single class. Many underclassmen were selected to work on this project so that in fu- ture years they may profit by present errors. Pro- fessional assistance was important to their plans; this help was freely given. Charles Miller Editor Marilynn Myers Business Manager F. W. Buzzerd Advisor Harold Mayer Publisher’s Representative S. Anderson, P. Bowers, M. Young; G. Turner, C. Kendle, and L. Snyder. WHAT’S THE EXCITEMENT SOCCER! 32 For the third consecutive year Coach Richard Doub's hooters won the county championship. This year's team was undefeated, winning seven games and having one tie. This team was also the first W. H. S. squad in several seasons who were able to defeat the always competitive Mercersburg Academy. Other highlights of the season included a 2-1 victory over South Hagerstown High in a muddy overtime game, and an exciting 2-2 tie with Clear Spring High in which both teams scored goals in the last minute of the final overtime period. Leading the team were Billy Martin and Tom Jordon with six points each. 1962 COUNTY CHAMPIONS FIRST ROW: Team mascot, Clyde (on the ball); SECOND ROW: D. Hott, D. Ebersole, L. Grimes, G. Turner, T.

Clear Spring has just scored in the last ten seconds of the final over-time period. This was the only dark moment of the season, a 2-2 tie. A MOMENT OF ELATION Tom Jordon and Billy Martin accept the county championship trophey on behalf of their team. They are more interested in eating than playing at lunch time. They seek advice on problems. They become interested in improving basic skills. They look forward to having a pri- vate locker of their own. They are in Grade . . .

The group also studies the use of the slide rule. JUNIOR CHORUS The Junior Chorus is composed of junior high students who are interested in music. The group performed at the Christmas assembly, P.T.A. meetings and various other events during the year. A select group of singers, The Octet, sings special numbers as part of the chorus' programs. 45 Director Miss Moore HORRORS! In the fundamental spirit of the New Frontier, the yearbook operated at a vast deficit this year. One of the major reasons for this progressive trend was the work of student photographer George Fink. Beyond question, he wasted at least twenty rolls of film attempting to capture a record of school events. On this and other pages (47, 70) you see examples of his work. 46 Pitcher McKinley gets an early start. Game as seen by a player who has just headed the ball.

Winter WHITE CHRISTMAS This was a special winter for students and townspeople. The first snow fell on De- cember 13th and continued to fall in weekly intervals for the duration of the season, including the first Christmas Day snowfall in over a decade. There were also several mornings which were suddenly brightened as a radio voice announced, There is no school today in Washington County. When school was in session, students trotted briskly through slush and wind to classes, while the custo- dians grimly contemplated after-hours floor scrubbing. It was truly a memorable winter . . .

Mr. Scott directed the boys in many worthy projects which benefited both the school and the community during the year. The organization is fully described on the next page. Diane Sheeley Harvest Ball Queen 51 FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA One of the biggest services to the community which the F.F.A. boys per- form is their Christmas toy repair. Working with the local Lion's Club, the students recondition and paint donated toys which are then distributed to chil- dren of the area. 52 Students better their understanding of the farmer's place in today's world by study and application. Pictured below are our representatives to the State F.F.A. judging competition. W. Wintermoyer, H. Mowen, and T. Judd. After placing second in the state, these boys went to the Atlantic Rural Exposition which included a seven state region. In that competition they received FIRST PLACE HONORS. L. Downey, F. Downey, K. Bowers, and G. Long. W .H.S. has also had the state winner in public speaking for the past four years, a remarkable achievement. 1963?

The group's selections range from classical and religious compositions to the light- hearted pop numbers which are always pleasing to their audiences. Wrestling returned to the W.H.S. varsity athlet- ics program last year. This season coach Witt has spent much of his time rebuilding the team as only two lettermen returned. Dave Saloon Demonstration of The Guillotine. BUILDING MUSCLE AND CHARACTER. W. H. S. grippers encountered such opposition as Hedges ville, Hancock, Berkley Springs, and large schools, South Hagerstown and Martinsburg High Schools. While this season was far from successful if the wins and los’ses are considered, the team served a greater purpose: physical training and a worthwhile winter interest for many boys who earned their first varsity letter. Practicing every evening in an upstairs class- room (the gym was being used by the basketball teams), the team found that winning isn't the sole aim of an athletic program. J. Davis, L. Stoiler, C.

MORE BY FINK... Are you sure that the play's tonight? Twist again like we did last summer! Sophomores are interested in dating, playing on the junior varsity, learning to drive, and collecting Pat Boone rec- ords. They are never without chewing gum or a dime for a coke after school. Somehow most people of this age just can’t see much value in knowing the population of Red China or that a per- pendicular dropped from the right angle of a right triangle on the hypotenuse is a mean proportional between the seg- ments of the hypotenuse.

Basketball is one of the great spectator sports of this decade and W. H. S. fans are among the most fanatical in this area. This season's play was extremely interesting with the return of Boonsboro High School to the Class B competition. The Warriors strongly challenged the W.H.S. varsity's domination of this class for the last two years. The team also found their Bi-State opponents from West Virginia greatly im- proved from last season. These factors contributed to one of the more highly con- tested series of games in recent years. Leading the high-scoring attack this year were Don McKinley with his corner shots and the driving lay-ups of Don Ardinger. Hustling Billy Martin and high-jumping Ez Turner helped to maintain a balanced attack. Several underclassmen gained experi- ence which should keep Coach Glenn Smith supplied with ammunition for '64.

The Roving Forward” rule per- mits one player to cross the center line. This makes the game faster with the accent on offense. The rule made no difference to Mrs. Miller's perennial county champions. Once more they dominated league play with Jean Hoot and Alva Bowers showing the way. intramurals The competition of homeroom teams in the W.H.S. intramural program is very keen. In- dividual and team sports for both boys and girls are offered throughout the year. Here are some of the various victors: Dixie Jordan Basketball Shooting Phil Michael Bowling 12-B Volleyball Champs Cheryl Kaetzel (Ping Pong) Alva Bowers (Tennis) Bill Spangler (Checkers) 84 with Ray Monninger.

There are other persons there: Duke Samuels and his girl, who have just staged a robbery and need a hiding place. 86 And, of course, there's a third party, whose appearance startles the students. The Bellows sisters interrupt Duke's plan to hide the money. A get-away becomes necessary. The Terror is revealed as the new club member; Duke's plan is foiled; and Windy gets the girl. Happy ending.

Ecclesiastes 1:4-7: One generation passeth away, and another gen- eration cometh: but the earth abideth forever. The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he rose. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. And thus our cycle is completed . . . 124 BUT NOT ENDED..
