Now each of you, as high school graduates, has reached your first and greatest educational plateau and you cannot lose what you have gained thus far. Congratulations for this accomplishment. It is by no means insignificant, as you'll find when a potential employer asks you whether or not you have received your high school diploma. As to your future, you may choose to continue your education in a college or university and thereby gain greater proficiency in some selected field of endeavor; or possibly you may choose to obtain a position for immediate earning and perhaps attend night school for advancement; or perhaps you will offer your service to your country and learn, earn, and serve at the same time in some branch of our nation's armed services. In whatever direction your planning takes you, remember our heartfelt wishes, prayers, and concern go with you. You are, to a considerable degree, our handiwork. We and all of your in- structors earnestly hope that you will successfully complete all assignments and tests that life will inevitably present to you. Our parting challenge to you as we reluctantly bid you fare well is to do right and do your best. Best wishes and good luck. ' Sincerely, Linn Sheets, Principal A. P. Rider, Assistant Principal O. B.

At that time with fear, inex- perience, anticipation, yet eagerness, we became the freshmen of Berkeley Springs High School. In the beginning high school seemed difficult to these freshmen, but before long, they fell in with the customs of high school life and elected the officers who would help guide them through that first strange year. Dixie Arnold, President; Douglas Lutman, Vice President; Guy Farris, Secretary; and Kay McBee, Treasurer. To add to the excitement in the freshman year they were initiated by the sophomore class at a skating party; Mary Jo Crouse was selected as candidate for Queen of Charm; and a trip to Washington D. C. was sponsored by the civics class. After three months of summer vacation, they returned with a new outlook toward high school life, because you see, they were now sophomores. To usher them through their second year of high school the class chose Retha Heironimus, president; James Merica, Vice President; Sylvia Werdebaugh, Secretary; and Larry Miller, Treasurer. During the year the sophomores initiated the freshmen at a skating party, selected Patricia Risinger as their candidate for Queen of Charm, and took another trip to the Nation’s Capital under the sponsorship of the biology class. Green and yellow were cbosen as class colors along with the yellow rose as the class flower. The third year or junior year at Berkeley Springs High School was marked by a great change. New responsibilities were thrust into the hands of these able juniors, but all responsibilities were faced by Retha Heironimus, President; Douglas Lutman, Vice President; Sylvia Werdebaugh, Secre- tary; Lou Ellen Morgret, Treasurer; and Varnell Burkhart, Sergeant-at-Arms, who served as officers during the junior year. Excitement presented itself to the junior class when their class rings arrived and when they proved their ability by presenting their first class play, “The Campbells Are Com- ing.” Later in the year the gymnasium was decorated in an “Under the Sea theme for the Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom. Beauty seemed to be emphasized in the junior year as Marie Burke was chosen as princess for the annual Homecoming Game and Dance, and Virginia French was named junior candidate for Queen of Charm. The American history class made a guided tour of Washing- ton, D. C. viewing the many points of interest. Purple and white seemed to be predominant colors with the juniors so the class colors were changed to purple and white with a white carnation as the official flower. Finally, the big day arrived when we became full-fledged seniors. The first excitement came with the ordering of name cards and announcements and the selection of the staff for the Warm Spring Echoes. Then came “The Adorable Imp” another successful class play directed by Mrs. Mary Harris, class sponsor. The students showed their cooperation and participation in the sale of magazine sub- scriptions and by placing the Queen of Charm, Virginia French, on the throne. On May 9, forty- six enthusiastic seniors departed from Hancock, Maryland; their destination w'as New York City. As we glance back to the beginning of our high school days we also see that our class was well represented in the social activities, band, athletics, and the publication of the school paper. Our ability in sports was proved when we won the inter-class basketball tournaments both our junior and senior years. Now that we are seniors, we are both happy and sorrowful to leave our high school days behind, and to walk alone into the world without the helpful assistance of our teachers; but we have our high school education, the knowledge necessary to meet this great world. Thinking back over the studying, struggling, and hardships, as we walk down the aisle of Berkeley Springs High School for the last time, graduation night, we realize that reaching the summit was worth it all. But we also realize that without the help of our class officers, sponsors, and especially our principal, Mr. Linn Sheets, we would not have been able to reach the summit. Yes, our high school days are short, but happy and memorable ones that will never be forgotten by the class of 1956. SENIOR DIARY 1955-1956 Sept. 1—School opens. Sept. 14—Cheerleaders are elected.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY On December 2, 1955, the Senior Class presented “The Adorable Imp,” a three- act farce under the direction of Mrs. Mary Harris, class sponsor. Betty Lou Gordon was forced to play the part of an 11-year-old imp when her mother, a beautiful widow, fell in love with a wealthy man, Mr. Winston Pickrell, and told him she was only 29 years of age. Since Betty Lou was 17 years old, her mother’s age of 29 was impossible. This romance blossomed at the Sparkling Springs Sanitarium where the attractive widow was taking hot baths. When Mrs. Gordon invited the Pickrell family to spend the week-end at her home, The Adorable Imp played all sorts of ludicrous tricks which produced a hilarious tangle of laugh situations.

This unusually original program viewed the seniors heading for their Last Round-Up across the border from “Hither to Yon,” trekking from graduation to the world outside. Arriving at the Bar None Ranch they joined the gay fiesta-type stampede in progress there. From the opening chorus of the Prancing Ponies’ dance which was done by Wanda Wachter, Nancy Noah, Retha Heironimus, Linda Merica, Jean Arbogast, Carole Catlett, and Marie Burke, to the reading of the class poem by Sylvia Werdebaugh, around the dying embers at the close, each student was tuned to the western motif. Douglas Ambrose, Jack Stotler, Shearl Close, Raymond Hovermale. and Leroy Hiles were the bewhiskered Campfire Cronies who recalled the class history to twanging guitars; Flat Foot Flounder, the junior outlaw, played by Claren Sheets, met a sad fate; Emmett Capper was Herman the Hermit who dared the dangers of civilization to present the Key of Knowledge to David Roman, and Larry Davison, Walter Peck, and Tex Clark were the good natured Bandits from the Border who dis- tributed numerous gifts to the seniors. Mad Meg, which was portrayed by Dixie Arnold, came down from her hill-top hideout and scanned the desert sand, read the prophecy; and Lawyers Gloom and Doom, played by Guy Farris and Roy Koontz, read the Class Will. Prior to the program. Principal Linn Sheets presented two awards to outstanding members of the senior class. The Rankin Memorial Award, given to a senior boy who has been outstanding in athletics during his high school career, was presented to Lewis Close; and the D.A.R. Good Citizen Certificate, awarded to a senior girl for her qualities of dependability, leadership, service, and pa- triotism, was presented to Anna Jo Hovermale. r M � B A N Q U E T A N D P R O M 'if C' O n j kP ; on On May 19, the school gymnasium was the scene of an enchanted beach, surrounded by palm trees. This was the night the juniors entertained the seniors at the annual banquet and prom. The evening began with a delicious steak dinner. After dinner an entertaining program was presented by Junior talent and guests. Music to dance by was provided by the very popular orchestra of Phil Young. This evening will be remembered as the most enchanting evening of 1956. NEW YORK TRIP Forty-nit seniors left May 9 for a three-day educational tour of New York City. Accompanying the students were Mrs- Mary Harris. Mrs. Mary Rockwell, and Mr. A. P. Rider, members of the high school faculty .

Witness: Father Time Seal I Senior Class of 1956 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY By Virginia French My heart was in my throat when I received the telephone call telling me that I had won a local radio contest. The usual prize was to grant the winner of the contest his favorite wish, and mine was to see each of my high school classmates once again. Mr. Leroy Hiles, president of the Citizen’s National Bank and sponsor of the radio show, met me at the Cherry Run Airport early the next evening and accompanied me to the first stop of my trip which was Washington, D. C. The flight was short and quite enjoyable as Leroy and I talked of old times. As I stepped off the plane at the National Airport, I ran into Raymond Hovermale who was to accompany me on my tour of Washington. As we entered the lobby of the Statler Hotel, of which Raymond was manager, I was surprised to see the former Chlorene Henry seated at the information desk. She sent me into the dining room where her friend, Josephine Lutman. was employed as head waitress. This was the first chance I had had to talk with these girls since we were graduated ten years ago. We drove from the hotel to the very cute apartment shared by Wanda Wachter and Kitty Shriver, who were both secretaries in the Pentagon Building, and there spent the afternoon talking about our high school days. That evening Raymond and 1 drove across the city to the small modern homes of two more old chums, Carole Catlett and Linda Merica, who were both married and rearing lovely families. As time was moving swiftly we did not stay long. For my last visit in the nation’s capital we drove across a beautiful newly constructed bridge which was designed by Douglas Lutman. At the end of the bridge was Doug’s home which he had also planned. As Doug and his family were just ready to retire we tarried there only a few minutes. What a day it had been! I felt as gay and carefree as I had ten years ago as a student in B.S.H.S. On our way back to the airport Raymond told me my next stop would be Chicago, Illinois. It was just daybreak when the plane landed and I was quite pleased to see Jack Stotler waiting to accompany me on my tour of Chicago. As we stood there chatting, the pilot of the plane stepped down and joined us. It was Wayne Ziler who had finally decided planes were much swifter than motorcycles. From the airport we went to a Hot-Shop for breakfast. The interior decorations of the restaurant were beautiful and I learned from my waitress, Alice Tritapoe, that the place was owned by Fred Vanorsdale. As we were giving our bills to the cashier, Miss Wilma Harden, who should we chance to meet but Armeta Whisner who told us she had married a Texas oil man and was currently touring the world. During the afternoon I played bridge at the home of Jacki Cooper. While awaiting the arrival of other guests Phyllis Alderton, Evelyn Clem, and Carol Somers who lived nearby with their families. Jacki switched on the television set and I recognized the voice of Douglas Am- brose, the singing idol of teenage girls all over America. After our departure we walked around the block to the apartment of Retha Heironimus who was also married and rearing a family. She seemed quite upset because Anna Jo Hovermale had been involved in an accident which took place in her private laboratory while she was attempting to improve the H-bomb. However, when I visited the hospital and talked with Dr. Varnell Burkhart I had no doubt in my mind as to Jo’s recovery. Dr. Burk- hart had assigned his five most capable nurses, Ruth White, Jean Arbogast, Nancy Noah, Peggy Hawvermale, and Esther Frazier to her floor. I talked a while with Esther who told me that her husband, L. P. Close, would begin coaching at Maryland University next fall. In the hospital lobby we stopped a few minutes to talk with the secretary, Lois Ann Crouse, and to chat with Jean Householder who told me her husband was a patient there as a result of a recent quarrel. The next morning I was on my way to New York City. The flight seemed long and I was glad to arrive there and find Tex Clark waiting to guide me through the city during my stay. We stopped by a clean little drug store along the street where Lois Miller waited on us and we learned that Mary Jo Crouse was the proprietress. Every- one was so busy reminiscing that time seemed to fly and we almost missed the smash comedy hit on Broadway which we had planned to attend. The stars were the former Dixie Arnold and Emmett Capper so immediately after the presentation ended Tex and I went backstage to chat with the actors. From the theatre we walked a few blocks to the apartment of Sylvia Werdebaugh and her husband, George. Sylvia was busy doing the laundry and George Jr. was causing quite a riot. Our next stop was the Empire State Building where the former Shirley Fisher was employed. We talked for quite a while and then drove across the city to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Clatterbuck. Mrs. Clatterbuck. the former Patricia Risinger, was quite busy rearing the baseball team of which Ronny had always dreamed. Soon after we arrived, Ronny came in with two pals, Jim Merica and Larry Miller. The three were very tired because the Yankees, with whom they played, had just won another ball game. As we left I was surprised to see Larry crawl under the wheel of a baby blue Cadillac. Before leaving New York I wanted to visit a few of the dress shops so Tex directed me to a very cute shop which was owned and managed by Kay McBee. I quickly recognized the stylish blond wTho greeted me as Margella Widmyer. At the airport that evening 1 thanked Tex for the lovely day and boarded the plane for the journey back to West Virginia. As we passed through Winchester, Va. the next day we stopped at the raceway for a few minutes and I heard the announcement that the winner of the last race, Gene Spears, had designed his own automobile. Of course, that wasn’t surprising. No motor company could ever put anything on the market fast enough for him! We had arrived at the track just as the crowd was leaving and I saw several of my school chums in the crowd. Marlene Heironimus stopped long enough to tell me that she had married Eston and was working as a dietitian at the hospital. Later 1 saw Larry Davison who was angry because his racer had broken down at the last minute before the race began and he was disqualified. We finally arrived at Berkeley Springs and I could hardly believe some of the changes which had occurred in just ten years. As my taxi driver, David Bohrer, pulled into a service station owned by Walter Peck, I saw two small children playing in a lawn and knew at once they were the children of Walter and Doris Carlisle. Suddenly Marian McBee and Ann Crone drove up in one of the new cars which they were currently selling. Our next stop was the high school. As we parked the car I saw Guy Farris coaching the baseball team. I went into the old school building where Jack Allen, the Vo-Ag instructor was working and met Roy Koontz, the math instructor, lecturing a small boy because he hadn’t turned in his math assignment. Our last visit was at the quaint home of interior decorator Janet Divelbliss who invited me to attend a dance with her that evening. There was a huge crowd in the large dance hall which Shearl Close, the orchestra leader, had designed himself. Singing with Shearl’s band was Marie Burke, now Mrs. Donald Bohrer, who was taking a leave of absence from the Met. I was very tired that night as I crawled into my own bed once again, but was happier than I had been in ten years. My wish had been granted and now I was going to try to dream it all over again.

The action begins when the nagging Mrs. Simmons is told by a taxi driver that her husband, a prominent manufacturer, was with a woman who left her purse in his taxi. While developing an excuse, Mr. Simmons plans a scheme whereby Ethel, his daughter, will fall in love and marry Chester Binny, his business partner. In doing this, he creates a keen hatred of Ethel’s friends toward Chet. Roger Shields, her continental suitor, and Donald Swift, a motion picture director. The same week that Sadie Bloom, a dancing teacher, appears at the Simmons’ home, the glamorous movie queen, Lettv Lythe, arrives in town. CAST Henry Simmons ...............

Track became a major sport this season when Berkeley Springs became a member of the Potomac Valley Conference, a sixteen school circuit. As a member of the Potomac Valley Conference Berkeley will meet conference teams in each of its four sports including track. This season the Indians cap- tured many honors and broke many records. During the past season Berkeley captured first place in the second annual Potomac Valley Conference track and field meet and took first place honors at the quadrangular meet at Cumberland. Maryland.

In recent years it has become a member of the West Virginia Association of Student Councils. ‘‘The purpose of this association shall be to cherish and perpetuate the tradition and good name of our school; to maintain high standards of cooperation, loyalty, and fair play; to prepare to meet the problems of school and adult life; to set a high standard of citizenship and to encourage and support all forms of student activities,” states the constitution. Several members have represented the council at Eastern District Meetings during the past year and also at the statewide convention which is held annually at Jackson’s Mill. The council has undertaken and successfully completed several projects during this nine-month school term. Operating a student recreation center and sponsoring the annual homecoming activities are two major ones. A great honor came to our council when one of its members, Douglas Ambrose, was elected president of the Eastern District Association of Student Councils. Only with cooperation from the faculty and the student body can the organization assume responsi- bilities which are necessary for bettering the school and fulfilling the purposes listed in the constitution.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercie Francais, more commonly known to the student body as the French Club, was organized in 1950. The purpose of the club is to stimulate an active interest in the study and use of the French language, and at the same time to develop a better understanding of the French people—their way of life, their ideals, their cultures, and their literature. Activities for the furthering of these objectives include the regular reading of La Jeunesse. a French paper published monthly for students of the language, learn- ing French songs, and participating in French Charades. Membership in this club is limited to students who study the French language. VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club, formerly known as the Letter Club, was reorganized in 1946. Its members are those athletes who have earned a letter in football, basketball, baseball, or track. The purposes of the Varsity Club are to promote higher loyalty to our school, to give rightful recognition to those earning athletic awards, to create a finer sense of sportsmanship among participants and fans, and to boost athletic endeavors at Berkeley Springs High School. The annual Queen of-Charm Dance sponsored by the Varsity Club is one of the outstanding social events of the school year. The cluh also sponsors the annual Inter-Class Tournament in basketball which is one of the most colorful athletic events of the year.

Charter membership consisted of fifty girls who were taking or had previously taken home econom- ics and wished to further their interests in this field. The goal of FHA members is learning to live better today in order that the homemaking pupils’ lives and those of their families may be better tomorrow'. Red and white are the distinguishing colors of the FHA. These are symbolic of youth—youth which has courage and determination to succeed, yet has innocence and purity. A red rose, the club flower, symbolizes the vibrant, glowing health which contributes to happiness and efficiency in home and community life. « OFFICERS KAY McBEE ................................

Between the bell’s ring and Mr. Randall’s ‘ Silence! ’ there is an ear-deafening activity with which even Times Square on Broadway cannot compete. The head-splitting shriek of a fatally injured clarinet reed, the horribly flat toot of a baritone, and the hopeless attempt of a trumpet to imitate Harry James all combine to give one of the most unusual sensations to be experienced—hearing and seeing the Berkeley Springs High School band tune up. First, this bedlam; then silence; then music. It is music inspired and created by a group of people who have worked long and hard. They have missed many activities in order to practice. They have spent hours marching, marching, march- ing. They have braved snow and freezing weather to perform on the football field for their school and their team. It has been worth every second of time and labor, for if they had not put all this into their work there would not be the pride in accomplishment that is now theirs to have and hold. Much credit goes to Band Directors Mr. William Randall and Mr. Raymond Rogers who have helped our band become a creditable asset to Berkeley Springs High Shook Jean Arbogast, Irene Youngblood.

During the school year the Glee Club participated in several programs including: The Laymen s Day Program in October, a joint Christmas program with the Band, and an Easter program for the Women’s Club and the high school. Music is big! This fact was proven by the chorus under the direction of Mr. William Randall. Many varieties of music were sung and enjoyed by the members. Soloists and small groups of singers added contrast and color to the presentations.

HANCOCK, MARYLAND Tlie production of this yearbook has been a memorable experience for those of us who have been privileged to work on the project. Long hours have been spent trying to make it a memorial that you will treasure all your life. e would like to express our sincere appreciation to every faculty member and to every student who has helped in some way to make this book, our story of the growth and progress of our school. As we leave Berkeley Springs High we wish to extend our best wishes to our classmates, the faculty, and the undergraduates who will remain here to continue making this school one of the best. We hope you will enjoy the Warm Springs Echo as much as we have enjoyed publishing it. It was ours for almost a year. Now it belongs to you.
