F lx Class of 1940 Leafing through the old family album, we land many old daguerrotypes which recall the happy mem- ories of our freshman and sophomore days in Elkins High School. VVe contributed many outstanding mem- bers to the various departments of the school in our first two years. In athletics there were Hve letter meng in the music department we sent five of our number to Huntington in the All-State Band, and some of our honor grade students prove that we have brains, Turning another page, we find our class as jun- iors publishing one of the best uTiger Cubsf, helping present the Tiger Frolic,', and sponsoring Stunt Nite. Ziegfield himself could not have glorihed more girls than we did that night. The Iunior Council was electedg and surely no better executive ability could be found than that shown by Ioseph Mams, Sarah Harman, Betty Haas, Geraldine Heltzel, Paul Dornblazer, Wallace Rohr- baugh and Harry Scott, the first four of these being the regular class officers. We are well represented in the band with three of our fair femmes-Reba Lam- bert, Marie Harwood and Virginia Fulk-sponsors and Wallace Rohrbaugh who expertly twirls the baton. At the time the history was written only half the school year had been completed, but we know we will present the Iunior-Senior Prom. Our class is ably guided by our sponsors, Miss Elva Harris, Miss Elizabeth Moore and Mr. Iames Green.

Freshman Class On September 6, 1938, we, the largest class ever to enter Elkins High School, started our four-year journey. For the first few days we were so bewildered we could scarcely find our way around. Soon, however, we entered with a will into school life by electing our class officers as follows: President, Charles Kyleg Vice-President, Zan Whiteg Secretary- Treasurer, Carl Payne, and a bundle of energy, Lor- aine Snyder, as our cheer leader. We have accomplished much which disproves the idea held by the upperclassmen that we are below their notice. We have contributed two lettermen to the football squad, we gave a dancing act at Stunt Nite, more subscribed than any other class to the K'Tiger Cub, and in addition we have had a greater number of stu- dents on the honor roll than any other class. We firmly believe that Elkins High School should be proud of its 1939 Freshman Class. Our class advisers are Mrs. Irene C. Wimer, Mrs. Anna C. Moore and Mr. Iesse Stewart.
