H. S. Even the stars have their informal moments of rest and relaxation. This is true in Hagerstown as well as in Hollywood. Here are revealed the ways in which the actors in our little drama amuse themselves on the set in oft hours. These action shots plainly show that the policy of all work and no play is certainly not followed at Hag- erstown High School. The keynote is mental and physical harmony. As we raise the curtain on our PARADE QF '49, these previews and short subjects show some of the high spots which made its production one of the landmarks in our lives. To you, the stars of the future, who will follow in our footsteps and to those who have gone before, we give this book so that you may, in seeing it. remember and anticipate your own.

OUT OF THE PAST AND INTO THE FUTURE The Senior Class of '49 has just finished one of its greatest scenes in the play of Lite, The first act of the play was entitled l:'reshmen. Here we found them get ting acquainted with the high school. They also won a War Bond selling con- test. The award was a free pass to the movie for everyone and a banquet at the Perfect Circle. ln the second act, Sophomores, they were busy selling greeting cards to earn money. The third, luniors. They sponsored dances and sold hot dogs at the invi- tational tourney to earn money for the events to come. The luniors published two papers that year which kept the high school informed on the ldtest happen- ings. This was also the year of their Prom. The luniors presented the play, Growing Pains, under the direction of Miss Betty Resler. They were busy in the fourth act with the carnival. Onieta Cain was crowned Carnival Queen. They presented the play, We Shook the Family Tree, under the direction of Mr. Iohn Beasley. The Seniors, accompanied by their sponsors, Mrs. Doris Devine and Mr. lohn Baughman, visited the lndiana State Legislature. The spirit of this class will linger to inspire those who follow in its footsteps. Page Tu'e-nty-one , ,z H Claude Andrew Ride 'em. cowboy. ' Hi-Y 4 years, Shop Specialist.

IUNIOR RED CROSS The Iunior Red Cross Council has been active this year. Directed by Mrs. Lorraine Cumley, the council has carried on such activities as: a Christmas program presented to the Wayne County Infirmary, an Easter program at Marion, the making up of educational boxes for children in Europe, and ash trays and canes for disabled veterans. The credit for such activities as these can be given, in part, to the president, Norma Stohler, also county president, who attended the National lunior Red Cross Council meeting at San Francisco last summer. Norma's industry and cheerful leadership have been an inspiration to those serving with her. It Red Cross Councils of the future keep up the enterprise and industry of this one, you may rest assured that Hagerstown High School can be compared favorably with any high school, anywhere.

The Y-Teens, a world-wide girls' organization, through its social and re- ligious functions, develops in girls a way of living which leads to greater individual happiness and community betterment. The club has completed several things in the line of service this year. Among their philanthropies were the buying of flowers and fruit for the sick, contributing to various charitable organizations, purchasing a cot for the gym, and sending school supplies to students overseas. Their varied selection of religious, educational, and humorous programs included club discussions, outside speakers, and joint meetings with the Hi-Y. One of the most important features of this club, of course, is its social ac- tivity. The first event of their social calendar was the Mother and Daughter Tea in October. At this time the freshmen and all other new members were formally initiated in an impressive ceremony. Then came the informal initia- tion of the new members at the freshman party. March 23 was the Mother- Daughter banquet. The novel idea of decorating each table as one month of the year was used. The next social event was the joint swimming party with the Hi-Y at the Y.M.C.A. in Richmond. Last was the party given in honor of the Senior members of the club. The Y-Teens sold candy for one semester. The profits from that, plus the dues from the members, were used to finance the above activities. Two new offices were added to the cabinet under the revision of the club's constitution. They were the representatives of the freshman and sophomore classes. The success of the club can be attributed to the co-operation of its members with the direction and planning of the cabinet under the fine leadership of the president, Norma Ulrich, and the sponsor, Mrs. lane Nichols. The Patronesses for the year were Mrs. Walter Ulrich, Mrs. Arthur Lumpkin, Mrs. Doris Devine, Mrs. Gordon Hays, and Miss Helen Smith. Page Forty Y-TEENS, THE 7 LEADING LADIES OF H. H. S.

HI-Y CLUB Our Hi-Y Club this year has certainly proved its ability to work toward an avowed purpose-that purpose ot Extending throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Christian character. Aided by Worthwhile suggestions and sound advice from Mr. Wright, this year's sponsor, the boys have shown their willingness to co-operate for the benefit ot the group. The Hi-Y Cabinet prepared many interesting and educational programs tor the year, which included the annual Father and Son banquet, two combined programs with the Y-Teens, a talk by Mr. O. M. Aders, who explained how Perfect Circle Piston Rings are made, several sports movies, and an occasional swim at the Y.M.C.A. pool at New Castle. It is this club which helps mold boys into desirable citizens. Since these boys will one day be the leaders in our community, in our nation, and in our World, they should know well the principles ot good will to their tellowmen. as taught by the Hi-Y.

SCRIPT WRITERS The Exponent Start of l949, directed by Mrs. Lorraine Curnley with lean Clark as School Editor, has again assumed the task ot supplying the high school news to the Hagerstown Exponent. lt is the job of these snoopers to get all the doings of the school before the public eye. The staff took heed ot the old adage all work and no play, so they had a party and a hayride in November at the scout house, where their guest was Mr. Edwin V. O'Neel. Their work is hard but the experience gained is invaluable to these writers ot the future. Page I'l0I'fjl-Flhgllf LIBRARIANS First row-W. Koeppel, P. Scott, L. Coy, I. Bertram. Second row-D.

Many of the boys have learned to survey and draw blue- prints. Page Sixty ARTISTS The artists ot H. H.

Page Sixty-two LATIN Latin at Hagerstown High not only provides language experience tor those students who expect to go to college but is an interesting sub- ject for all. Elementary translations, verb conjugations, and the study of case construction are the order of the day in any first year class you may visit. A continuation of grammar study, selections from Hlulius Caesar, and a study of Roman lite and the mythology of the Roman gods and godesses comprise the Work ot the second year. We understand that Miss Rust has some very promising scholars among her first and second year Latin students. May they carry on the banners ot the school and uphold the tradition of high scholarship. ln foreground-l. Combs, B. Wiggins, R. Murray, B. Creekbaum, B. Hutchens. Front row-I. Bookout, I.

Adventure into the unknown, the lakes, and woods, has made this pro- gram very popular with boys. Their knowledge of scoutcraft, their scout spirit, and their willing- ness to participate will make it easy for them to live together in the world ot tomorrow. To them it is fun to loe able to take care of themselves for a week at camp. Mr. Ted Sedgwick, the scoutmaster, gives them expert aid in carry- ing out their motto, Be Prepared.

Track, baseball, and basketball shared the sport spotlight with such re- cent innovations as volleyball, tennis, table tennis, golf, and their intramural counterparts.

H.S The record of the Tiger nine for the past season speaks well for both the players and the coaches. Coach Hunter, assisted by Coach Wriqht, molded raw, unseasoned rookies into a snappy, hustlinq ball club. Until this year, most ot these boys hadn't had much opportunity to display their prowess on the diamond. But, captained by Dick Ulrich, the team has proved its ability to stand up and lace the toughest oppo- sition. Since no one will be lost by graduation, we know this will be a first-class squad next season. l'ugv Svvwlty-viglzt BASEBALL LOOKS UP BASEBALL RECORD Hagerstown .,,L,,L,, .....,,L,,,,L,,A.,.. 3 Greenstork ,.,....

Page Seventy-115110 TRACK, GOLF AND TENNIS Minor sports, including Track, Golf, and Tennis have increased in popularity with all the boys this year. A near record turnout of boys for these three spring sports is a iine compliment to the broadened sports and physical educational pro- gram launched by the school. All three teams lacked the experience that is necessary in all com- petitive sports, but because of the wealth of underclassmen, and the determination of those who carry our colors in these games, we will surely come out on top. At an early date, many of the boys were showing tremendous progress in all three sports. lf this progress continues, we may have some boys representing H. H. S. in the spring state meets. The track team began their season with a convincing win in a tri- angular meet with Williamsburg and Fountain City, showed surprising strength at New Castle, and brought home the runner-up trophy from the Wayne county relays.

She has built up through her keen interest and enthusiasm a most active program of girls' sports. An intramural basketball league was organized with games twice a week. She also de- veloped a girls' tumbling club that presented a program at the school open house in April. Perhaps through the untiring efforts ot Mrs. Cumley, these clubs and intra- mural activities will produce some Olympic starlet ot tomorrow.

The actors and ac- tresss are ready to present their talents and abilities to the great audience of the World. These last few scenes depict some ot the lighter moments at the PARADE OF '49. 20 YEARS OF PROGRESS l was looking through the record library down at the AudioeTelevision center the other morning and came across the strangest thing lt was an old class party record made in May, 1949120 years ago. The thing that was strange about it however, was that on this old record from Hagers- town High School were some oi the important people of today, not only nationally but also uni- versally. For example: lohn Claude Andrews, who was referred to on the record as Copus, is known to all as the drugstore cowboy singer who sings on Tele-station V.B.C. and M.B.C. at 5 a. m. each morning, and Eugene Beeson who broadcasts agriculture and weather advice each week on our local station and who is reported to be considering the nomination in the presidential race on the farm ticket, were members ot that class. The two record breakers whose names are on the lips of speed fans everywhere, George Booe and Ivan lCrashJ Crull tyou'll remember that they hold the present ground speed, air speed, and space flight recordsl, were regarded as speed demons even then. Reke Frantz, famous bandieader, broadcasting now on an interplanetary hookup, and his tamous wife, Phil Greer, whose latest musical comedy, Southern Constellation, is being re-broad' vast every week on these stations, were high school sweethearts. Richard Fulton, who was according to the record employed at the old Circle Theater, is now head of the R.B.S, Tele-movie studio out in Hollywood. His extreme good looks have made him known as an actor as well as producer. Norma Bales, well known tor her discovery of the plutonium cure for cancer, and Mary Carolyn Ewbank, who was responsible for the disappearance of leprosy as a disease, are now employed as heads of the World Epidemic Research Council. lean Clark and Carolyn Brooks, who are famous tor such great comedy plays as How Green Was Our Speech Class and Watch On The Dressing Table, were inseparable then as now. Margaret Hilbert, Ioan Fagan, and Mary Louise Stohler, whose daily broadcast Help For The Housewife is heard and heeded by millions of housekeepers throughout the world, got their start at Hagerstown. loyce Cougill and Onieta Cain, who starred in the recent Richard Fulton production, Those Women, and who have been selected as the world's most beautiful actresses, also came from this class of great talent. Louis and Lois Lumpkin have been awarded the VVilliam H. Barnhart science award for their discovery of the 432nd element, lumptonium. We owe, they echo, all our success to the great professors high school chemistry course. Wayne Koeppel, recent discoverer oi the Koeppel Treatment tor allergies, states that he was inspired by his high school principal, Mr. lohn H. Baughman, while soiourning in his dust sanctuary. Gladys Cox, who now stars on the International Television mystery, The Listener, was re- puted to be the quiet sort even in high school. lo Clair Rhoades, also a member of this class, is one whose name appears quite often in the Pugr' Eighty-Sin' tashion news. She is the noted Paris beauty consultant and is reported to have received many offers as make-up director tor International Television. Gloria Frenchie Small, who sings in the current Metropolitan Opera production, Cabaret, is still faithful to the husband she married while a senior in high school. Ed Kerlin, former track star ot H. H. S., has recently won the Olympic lOO, ZOO, and 400 kilometer run. The torthcoming year, l97O, he plans to break a thirty-year-old record ot lesse Owens in all the Olympic dashes as well as winning the Decathlon. Norma Ulrich, who left immediately after graduation and was unheard oi tor several years, has recently made her appearance as the power behind the power in the salt mining industry. Pat Sharp and Ethel Hammond, who were, in their youth, noted tor their love of horses, are now co-owners of Salumet, holder of the triple crown in horse racing and say, When better horses are run, We will run them. Lothair Irvin, for the last 15 years holder ot the world's heavyweight boxing championship, has retired from the ring and is using his money to sponsor a televised production starring the Famous Millville Four, Rebecca Shortridge, Marty Swearingen, Marjorie Coy and Marilyn Gordon, who have had a long and successful run on The Millville Theater Ot The Air. The co-presidents of the lnterplanetary Alliance Council, lim Murphey and Ted Knapp, appear on the record as being of diplomatic inclination then as now. Their leadership in forming inter- planetary government has been responsible for the peaceful condition ot the universe at this time. tlt says here.l Helen Walker and Mary Beth Cromer in company with Rose Mary Franklin have become leaders of the World Union of Drug Store and Restaurant Workers. Their only statement is Higher wages, shorter hours, or no work. Eugene Meyer and Norma Stohler, who come from old, long established, farm families, have gone Cosmopolitan and are starring in the all new Telecast serial, Norma's Other Husband. Keith Locke, owner and proprietor of Amalgamated Pine and Oak Dealers, Inc., has, like Alexander the Great, enlarged on his fathers accomplishments. Barbara Bennett is reported to have married recently the third son ot the Rajah of Hyberctad. lt this report proves true, she will have become the wife of the world's richest man. Big lim Sedgwick, remembered for his ability as a high school athlete, is now star center of the winning Olympic basketball team. Lois Conway and loyce Fisher, blondes taccording to the recordsl, are reputed to have accepted the feminine leads in the Broadway play, The Red-l-leaded Seamstressf' And thus, with this record, is uncovered the early liie of many of the world's prominent citizens. It is reported by those who should know that a reunion is to be held by this group next month. lf so, I can assure you that it will be the greatest aggregation of stellar personalities in the history of the universe.

Page Ninety-three EN FINALE- To you, the readers of this chroni- cle of our life at H. H. S., we, the class of '49, wish to communicate some- thing of our own feelings about the years spent here. A feeling of joy, joy in accomplishing our goal of graduation, and at the same time a feeling of sadness and regret that the time has come to leave the high school with its treasured memories for the last time. A feeling of quiet pride in the fact that we have earned a diploma from such an outstanding institution. A feeling of strength in the knowledge that we can face the problems of living in the complicated world of today fully equipped to solve them, and above all, a feeling of deepest gratitude toward the teachers and administrators who have guided us with infinite pa- tience, kindness, and wisdom to the goal which we have now reached.
