I Charles Town High School Charles Town, West Virginia Presents RAIGEEEER Q x a all Foreword We, the members of the Rambler Staff, regret extremely our in ability to present to you some of the usual features of the Rambler. Nevertheless we sincerely hope that you will enjoy reading these, the most memorable incidents of the year 1944-1945, as much as we have ball teams of the past four years. Dedication We, the Rambler Staff of 1944f1945, dedicate this, the twenty-sixth edition of the Rambler, to Coach Harold Lorenz, in deep appreciation of his tireless efforts not only in promoting' for Charles Town High School a better sense of sportsmanship and fair play, but also in gain- ing for us recognition, far and wide, for our great football and basket- ball teams of the past four years.

CLASS HISTORY . . . .Harrison Rouzee Twelve years ago we entered the first grade, giving little or no thought to our high school graduation. Now we depart from C. H. S., happy because of what we have accomplished, yet sorry that we will not be back. We extend to our teachers our sincere appreciation for what they have done toward helping us reach our goal and preparing us for the days ahead. Our membership has decreased since we began. Some have gone to other schools, others to jobs, or to the armed fo1'ces. New students have joined us from time to time and have taken their respective places in the class of '45. Sofme of us have excelled on the athletic field, othe1's in the classroom, and a few in both. We shall always look back upon our life in C. H. S. with pleasure and we hope for our followers as much success and happiness as we have had.

She has made a top-notch 'i ' xi editor-in-chief of the Rambler. Her ability as a leads-r and her attractive manner are bound to make her many friends wherever she goes, especially with the opposite sex. . X 1.

Perhaps this, however, is what has endeared him to the hearts of so many of the fairer sex. He served two useful years on the first team in football, and he did some really super writing for the sports column of the Ricochet last year. Johnny has a good speaking voice, and we think he would make a good minister. However, he might fool us and take up journalism, after he has com- pletad serviee with Uncle Sam.

Losing such stalwart players as Eddie Winkler, Gerald Dorsey, Captain Chuck Kisner, and towering Bill Magaha from last yea1 s team, Coach Lorenz: found facing him the job of building a new team. With Harrison Rouzce and Elwood Tumblin, co-captains elect, and Johnny Alfriend, the only regulars back from last year, Coach Lorenz used these as a nucleus for a team which was to face one of the toughest schedules since 1940. llarry Dorsey proved to be a triple threat fullback while Glenn Magaha, in his first year out for the gridiron sport, was perhaps one of the best ends to come out of the school. With Lester Edwards and Magaha at ends, Carl Day and James Milton at tackles, Elwood Tumblin and Donald Tharpe at guards, Johnny Alfriend at center, and Harry Dorsey, Harrison Rouzee, Walter Glenn and Gene Edwards in the backfield, Coach Lorenz proceeded to tackle the diflicult schedule which lay ahead.

After finishing such a successful season in 1944, and losing such stars as Billy Andrews, Gerald Dorsey, Billy Magaha, Russell Miller, and Chuck Kisner, Coach Lorenz was faced with the task of building an entire new team. From the spectators' point of view, C. H. S. was through winning' sectional honors for a while. However, Coach Lorenz proceeded to ouild another championship ball club. Led by lanky Glenn Magaha, captain, the Purple and Gold climaxed a brilliant season of 17 wins against 3 losses, when they edged Martinsburg in the finals of the sectional tournament. Records fell by the wayside as the Panthers rolled to their third consecutive sectional championship, while staying un- defeated on their own floor. Glenn Magaha set a new record when he broke Billy Andrews' high scoring mark of last year. Magaha pushed through 280 points to top Andrews by 11 points. The record is as follows: We They 29 .... ....

The Pantherettes have met with great success this year. The team has labored diligently under the instruction of Coach Moore to make a name for C. H. S., by being the Panhandle Champions for this year. They won ten games out of eleven. Although they will lose three players this year - Helen Reininger, Doris Marshall, and Evelyn Johnson -the remaining members show great possibilities of having another successful season next year.

H. S. Calendar Ho-hum fyawnj - With visions of summer vacations dancing in our heads we ambled slowly back to dear ole C. H. S. to start another year of work fp. s. jokeb. As we entered we were met by a group of beam- ing faces, none other than Mr. Lowery and the teachers. He has 'em trained, I think. The most marvelous suggeestion of the year has been voted on and seconded. We will have a teen-age canteen. We really let 'em have it this Turkey-day. Allegany bowed to the Panthers in a 27 to 7 defeat. Hey, what goin' on??? The seniors' pictures are being taken. Well, I wondered. Honestly, you've never seen such a dashing senior class in all your life! The boys all wore neck-ties-can you imagine-and the girls had on dark sweaters and pearls. Ready! Everybody's Crazy, the hilarious Junior play, went over with a bang. Both nights the auditorium was packed and the Junior class found quite a nest egg for its activities. Nothin' in December worth mentioning except the Christmas holidays, don't you agree? We had an assembly. A play by the Sophomore class which everyone enjoyed and then merrily we rolled along with the yuletide's best wishes still ringing in our ears. No, not this-anything but this. Why it seems only yesterday that we are going back. To what--Exams??? Could be. Having had two weeks to prepare we now march forward into battle. The war of the Brains versus Brown Study Cer somethin'J. Armed heavily with pape1', pen and ink and with our downcast eyes raised at last to the blackboard, We plunge into action, in hopes of capturing a passing grade. It was a tough fight, Mom, but we made it. Whew!! The most exciting thing happened. We had an unexpected holiday because of snow. Everybody that could was sleigh riding. It sounded so old-fashioned. February 1 February 20 March 7, 8, 9, 10 April 16 April 26-27 May 10 May 20 May 22 May 23 C. H. S. Calendar Remember way back in October when we passed the motion for a teen- age canteen? Well, we have it. Complete with games of all kinds, food, a jute box or anything your heart desires. Tonight the doors were open for the first time and it was so crowded we were practically hanging out the windows. Boy, what games!!! Tonight the Pantheretts defeated the Martins- burg girls, and our boys pulled down a most impressive score over the Bulldogs. A double-header, plus action-that. We won ...... For the third consecutive year our boys have won the sectional tournament. The fans crowded into the Martinsburg gym to see one of the most exciting basketball games of the year, and brother! they got their money's worth. A Very impressive service today was held in memorial to our late 32nd president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And here we have it, ladies and gentlemen, the greatest show of the yea1', The Senior Play. Under the competent hands of Miss Marjorie QBossJ White and Lady Esther Reger we presented Senior Prom. We Were just dying to find how the gym was decorated this year, Juniors, and it was lovely. Thanks for the memory. The Bacculaureate Sermon was presented to the will-be alumni of C. H. S. by the Reverend Mr. John Ward Brown. Honestly, what those seniors don't think up. Class night was won- derful! Everybody had fun. Well, gosh-you hardly know what to say about the twenty-third of May. I suppose to some kids it's sorta joyful because they really know they'll be coming back next year, but to seniors-well-it's not as easy as we thought it would be. When we heard people say, School days are the happiest days in your life, we said to ourselves, They just have forgotten. With homework and everything they're not so happy. Now that it's our last year we, too, are deciding how much fun we've had, but it's hard to think about not coming back as usual. So-long, C. H. S., we'1l always remember the happy times that we've spent with you and when we return home, we'l1 be back to say hello.
