Page four Page six There is one creed, and only one, That glorifies God's excellence: So cherish, that His will be done, The common creed of common sense. It is the crimson, not the gray, That charms the twilight of all timeg lt is the promise of the day That makes the starry sky sublime, It is the faith within the fear That holds us to the life we curse, So let us in ourselves revere The Self which is the Universe! Let us, the Children of the Night Put off the cloak that hides the scar! Let us be Children of the Light, And tell the ages what we are! -Edwin Arlington Robinson HAGERSTOWN-IEFFERSON TOWNSHIP PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAGERSTOWN, INDIANA FRANK M.

To Parents and Friends of the school: We are writing this letter inviting YOU to look in on the Hagerstown School and the activities of the past school year. Many things, that seem to make it stand out in the minds of those interested in our school, have come about during this year. Since this is an open house , to make sure that you miss nothing, let's consider the different elements which make up our fine school, one at a time. As you enter, the first noticeable features are the teach- ers and the students. Perhaps you do not know all of them, so let's introduce them to you ...... Page seven SUPERINTENDENT l i l FRANK M.

School Administration and Supervision In the person of Mr. Cory, we find a man whose life is an inspiration to us, a man who laughs with us and always looks for the best in any situation. He is truly a friend to all, and we shall remember what he has done to help us long after he has forgotten it.

Play-real wholesome fun combined with bits of solemn study and work bring us on our way. Changed are our feelings of four years ago. Through freshman greenness, sophomore sweetness, and junior brilliancy, we find ourselves here with the day of graduation on the near distant horizon. We realize that we need to find and to dedicate our- selves to some specific task. We present this book in the spirit of progressive character building. What you find in it, if to your liking, absorb: if to your dissatisfaction, for our sake, cast it aside. What you dislike, others might prefer. After all, characters grow in varied channels. Let us lead out into con- structive thinking, building worthy of our name.

President Sponsors Theodore Sedgwick g Ruth Dutro 4 This group of freshmen can be compared to a great vol- ume. You pick it up and turn the first few pages. Not know- ing what to expect, you are excited and anticipating a great deal. You are greatly pleased. You like the first few chapters so you continue to turn the pages. And so it is with these boys and girls. They entered high school not knowing what the next turn would bring. But they found enough to their satisfaction to want to continue through their 'chapters' of high school.

STAI-IR, Treasurer HELEN SMITH, Clerk Now that we know each other, let us look into the organizations and activities of the past year. THIS is dedicated to the Spirit of Progressive Character Building , and this certainly depicts well the purposes of our scholastic organizations and activities. lt seems that those functions merge, to make our education more diversified and more complete, than does ordinary book larnin' alone. Experience in these organizations and activities builds directly on the character of the individual, making the person self-reliant, giving him initiative, and training him to cope with the problems and perplexities of life. But enough of this prattle. Let's look in and see definitely the program of outside activities of our school.

BOARD OF CONTROL Little do we realize the problems involved in handling the money belonging to the various organizations-Red Cross. Epitome, C-. R., Hi-Y, F. F. A., classes .... . Our Board ot Control has been very active throughout this school year in monetary problems. Under the guiding hand ot Helen Smith these students who were elected by their fellow students proved to them that their confidence had been justi- tied. Page thirty LIBRARIANS Sh-h- Quiet, Please!

Page forty-one DEBATE Seventeen argumentative students answered the call to debate last October, and for the eight who were chosen, the next few months were fought with pamphlets, books, practice debates, and hours in libraries. The question, Resolved, that the federal government should own and operate the railroads, caused long argument over such issues as national debt, social- ism, and financier control. Every member of the squad was given the chance to par- ticipate in at least one debate, and it was not until late in the season that the director, lvliss Bernice Hormel, made the final selection of four debaters, Beulah Thornburg, Lucille Townsend, lack Teetor, and Donald Hall to represent the school in district debate. Double debates were held with each of the following schools: Elwood, Winchester, The Knightstown Soldiers and Sailors Home, Rushville and the Knightstown high school.

SENIOR PLAY The seniors presented Shirt Sleeves , a three act comedy, November 6 and 7. This play concerned the problems of the Rand family during the depression. New scenery was built by the seniors tor this play and the play was coached by Miss Ber- nice Hormel. Our miniature Cables and Carbos came through with fine performances, and the play was well received. Page forty-1'iylIl JUNIOR CLASS PLAY Bare feet, slouch hats, nondescript clothes and most of all, shootin' irons characterized this year's junior Class Play, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine , by Alice Chadwicke, Keep- ing in both the pathos and the humor of the original, it was a sincere and entertaining adaptation of the famous book of the same name. Feeling ran high from the time the curtains first pulled un- til the last tense scene when the villain was hunted down and caught. lt took the death of the oldest Tolliver girl, and the combined efforts of the young mining engineer from the North and june Tolliver, the young mountain girl, to keep the feud from starting all over again. But in the end, everyone saw the error of his ways, and june and jack started a new life together, he having helped her with Iarnin and she having taught him the simple beauty of mountain life.

CRAVV, Principal of High School ALBERT BLAND, Secretary LUTHER GLANFY, Principal of Grades WILLARD J. STAHR, Treasurer HELEN SM ITH, Clerk The athletic program of our school is becoming more complete each year due to the addition of facilities. This year three excellent tennis courts have been finished and work is being done on an athletic field, which will include track, foot- ball, and baseball. These sports are in addition, of course, to our regular basketball and baseball groups. Much credit and admiration should be given those students who are willing to relinquish their time practicing and to accept the responsibility of repre- senting our school in athletic events, since many times our school is judged by our athletes' attitudes. Let us now examine the athletic program of our school and see what factors make it a success. Page fifty-five ATHLETIC CGNTRI BUTORS Little does the ordinary fan realize the work in arranging schedules, contacting officials, caring for concessions, and act- ing as door keepers. lt is a definite satisfaction however to see the continual trek of rooters-game after game-and to watch them in their various moods-happy, joyous, melancholy, sour, and pessimistic. Seldom do we stop to realize that inter-school athletics were restricted and propagated for the benefit of in- dividual students. The door keepers, Martha Young, Martha Castle, Ruth Harvey, Helen Smith, Majora Kunz Gondring, Bernice Hormel, and Ruth Dutro seem very happy about their jobs of selling and taking tickets. Our contactor, Principal joe R, Craw, studies the '39-'40 schedule. Timer, Theodore Sedgwick, watches the clock with scorer, Florance Lester. Concessionaires, Virgil Heniser, Alida Morris, Ruth Dutro, and Martha Young stand in a big wind. These faculty members were a great help at the ball games. Principal Sponsors J Door Keepers Scorer and Timer YELL LEADERS Tula Smith, Margaret jones and Charles Shorty Fowler were a good threesome when it came to leading yells. Margaret and Tula were seniors, while Shorty was a sophomore. DAVID l-lUNTiTRAlNER Dave was a good trainer because of his honesty and dependability. He was a senior. MISS CASTLE-GIRLS' GYM Under the supervision of Miss Castle, the girls were taught games such as baseball, basketball and all sorts ot gymnastics. All of the girls looked forward to the good times in their gym classes. Miss Castle evidently en- joyed her gym classes, too, because we found in her an appreciative watcher of all the girls' gymnastic endeavors. feat , HI N ww 11, N ww' ' ' Q1 ?t at Q jg N 4... y Q P K ,.., Q 23 , rg. f Y .3 ,Av u .

PETTY--Bob was a good passer and rebound man. He was a senior. He was always ready and willing to do his best. CORY-Walt was one of the most consistent and dependable men on the team. He has played as a regular for two years and still has one year yet to play for the purple and gold. CLEVENC-ER-Bob was a sophomore and would have been good material for next year, but he moved to Dunkirk at the last part of the season. Second Row : WELLS-john completed his fourth year as a member of the Tigers. He was the center and leading scorer of this year's team. RUDICEL-All of our boys were proud of Rex . He was fine to work with, and carried the confidence of all working with him. To Mr. Rudicel goes much of the credit for the Tiger's success the past season. During his coaching career he has defeated such teams as Richmond, St. lVlary's of Anderson, Bur- ris of Muncie, New Castle and Lawrenceburg. FOUTZ-Gene, a regular in his sophomore year, was a good de- fensive man as well as a scorer. Third Row: DAVIS-Horace was a good passer and defensive man. He was a senior. THORNBURC-Dean was a hard fighter on the bankboards and a good defensive man. He is lost by graduation. ADKINS-Ray developed a lot during the season. He was only a junior and should be a valuable member of next year's squad. FORREST-j. was one of the best basket shots on the team. He was a junior and should be an outstanding player next year.

I thought of dear old Hagerstown and of all the kids that were in my class in high school. I wondered what they were doing now. After sitting there and thinking of all of them and growing more and more homesick, I decided to pack up and go back to Hagerstown, and see what every one was doing. Two days later l sailed for the United States and to my surprise, who do you think was captain of the boat? Well, no other than Donn Foulke. I also know you will be more surprised when I tell you that Donn Foulke is a bachelor. I wonder what happend to his school day romance? On arriving in New York I took a taxi to my hotel. I thought the taxi driver looked like someone I knew but I just couldn't think who. I suppose I would have passed it out of my mind if he hadn't recognized me. Believe it or not--it was Kenny Thompson. That evening I went to see a play which was running on Broadway. I suppose all of you in Hagerstown have heard about it, but I must say it was certainly a surprise to me to find Ida Drischel and joe Bowman playing the leads. The next day I decided to do a little bit of shopping before continuing my trip. I bought some dresses at The Baker and Ulrich Dress Shop . Their shop is small at the present but they surely have ambitions for the future. I also learned that Beulah Thornburg is modeling in New York. With all of these old classmates in New York and Margaret jones in Europe giving concerts, I just began to wonder if I would find so many in Hagerstown after all. On Wednesday evening before I boarded the train for Hagerstown, l purchased a book to read on the trip home. The title was Love and Ro- mance and the author was no other than Evangeline Carter. Evangeline is now living in Maine. I was very much surprised when the train pulled into the newly con- structed depot in Hagerstown. The old home town had certainly grown. I was met at the train by Dorotha Mendenhall and Annabelle Dyke. They are now running a little tea room. They serve real tea, too. I was in Hagerstown two weeks, and I stayed with Mary Lois Cebhart, who is running an old maids home. Mary is as good at gossiping as she ever wasg so I will pass on to you all the things she told me. Mary Doris Kemble Miller is now living on a farm south of Hagerstown. Marshall Mohler is in Washington, D. C. He is head of the agriculture department. Charles Paddock is his secretary. Fred Harrison is running a garage in Millville. Above all Puss Beeson has reformed and is now a preacher, but don't worry, he has Wilbur Beeson as his private lawyer in case he gets into trouble. We find Lucille Townsend as his secretary. A. l. Birchfield is pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. David Hunt has just returned from England, where he won the tennis championship again. Horace Davis is the H. H. S. coach. lohnny Wells plays with the Chicago Cubs in the summer and goes on vacations in the winter. Rosalie Smith now has charge of the I. C. A. with fresh vegetables every day. Doris Warfel runs a beauty shop expecting everyone to be beautiful. It was impossible for Charles Williams to go away so he now has charge of the Drug Store. Dean Thornburg still delivers the bread which Edna Shields makes. Edwin Shields has made the Strong Shoes famous all over the U. S. A. His home is in Tidewater. Betty LaVelle is running a soda fountain in New Castle in her spare time. Good luck Betty. Page seventy-eight Maxine Fisher is in Economy, and Shirley Swoveland is in Losantville running skating rinks. eVel'. Paul Andrews is the treasurer of a bank in Louisville, Kentucky. Tula Smith is a missionary in Africa. She is home lecturing now, how- Kathryn Hoover is an air hostess. Hasn't that basketball hero finished college yet? Mary Marie Brown, Martha Faye Root, and Dorthea Clements are now happily married. visor also kiss cipal Hi-Y Mary Louise Cleveland is head dietitian and Mable Doerstler is super- of nurses in the Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Vernon Brown and j. B. Copenhaver are farmers. Harold Bowman is now general manager of the Abott's Candy factory. Irene Crye is still the Belle of jackson. Beulah Crull is still unmarried but that certain lacksonburg hero is unmarried. Don Hall, so called Hagerstown's Clark Gable , has learned how to the girls by now-we hope. He is in Hollywood. Phil Frantz now has a big job in the Buick factory. Marion Harcourt is the local chiropractor. Don Sutherland is now major of lacksonburg. Marcella lnnis is prin- of the lacksonburg school. Rgbert Petty has taken Heniser's place as sponsor of the Hagerstown lub. Martin Ulerick is manager of the Miller lce Cream Plant. Betty Swoveland is married. Ralph Petty runs a cattle ranch out west. So we see the whereabouts of our Classmates of l94O. Page seventy-nine To the Seniors, for whom LIFE BEGINS IN FORTY TWELVE THINGS TO REMEMBER! 1-the value of time 2-the success of perseverance 3--the pleasure of working 4-the dignity of simplicity 5-the Worth of character 6-the power of kindness 7-the influence of example 8-the obligation of duty 9-the Wisdom of economy 10-the virtue of patience 11-the improvement of talent 12-the joy of originating fThese were reminders that helped Marshall Field to found one of the world's greatest stores and largest fortunes of all times. They might well be taken as a pattern for your life- rcad them over when you are tempted or discouragedj. THE HAGERSTOWN EXPONENT Edwin V.
