Mary Failor end Dick McCullough were our donations to the Vox Scho1n.e stnff. Tom Fries, Donald Miller, and Anne. Lee DeLauder , represented our interests on the School Council. A large number of our girls were members of the Girls' Chorus. Mary Failor and Hazel Ryder were good enough to make the Mixed Chorus. George Mellott was our only representative in Boys' Chorus. Our placements with Library Club were many. Despite the trials and tribulations of our first year we had lost only five of our crew by the end of the year. Wayne Dorty, Arthur Hammer, George Keefer, and Paul Malone had left us soon after the opening of school. James Smith left us as soon as he reached the dropping'-out age. Thus it was with forty-seven sailors left that we sailed through the portals that led to our sophomore year. However, when our crew returned :ln September, 1940, we had changed from meek freshmen into noisy sophomores. Even the freshmen looked at us skopticelly. A roll call revealed that sane of us were missing. Don Miller and Junior Kohn cou1dn't muster up enough courage to face another year of studying. Pauline Weller end Martha Lesh entered high school nt Mercersburg and Shippensburs. respectively, . Bil1y Jones rejoined his family et Potsie, Missouri. In return for our losses we received Ray Byers, Devis Nolling, end t-.fo-thirds of Nathan lhznk from the Class of '42. We welcomed Earl Streley from Mercersburg H131 School. To begin the year 'in a democratic spirit we held an erwrly election for class officers. all of which we changed excepting Fries for president. Clair Brant bees-me the new vice president: Dick McFadden, secret:-ry Kmuch against his wishesh Holon Gift, treasurer: Freda Youso end Cleronce Plum, athletic managers. Dick McCullough resigned as historian ond Pauline Hoke was elected to fill the vacancy. Immediately we began ranking plans for the freshman party. We had just planned n perfect initiation when word came from the office thot we couldn't pull ony rough stuff . We had to eliminate some of Our plens, but to intinte them somehow' we vere quite determined. When they crawled into tho gymnasium thnt night on their knees and shook hands with us, they seemed to suffer more than we did oven after we were poisoned . We hed a good time Cce.n't speak for the frosh J nnd felt satisfied that they hr-d. been properly initiated. Our superiority over the rest of the higm school began revealing itself eerly in thepyear, when the student 'body selected Dick McFadden school trer-eurer and Tom Fries nthletic treasurer- What an honor we won over the Juniors and seniors that time. Oddly enougl the freshmen were for us. - - Dick McFadden is our prize of prizes. Last yeer the school sat up and took notice of his athletic ability. This yeor the county set up and took notice. He wes the county's ace in 'basket'bs.l1 and some track events. He wns right ther in soccer end bnseb:-ll, too. Nor are we lacking in other athletes. Tom Fries was on the first WP-U1 in 3000613 'bP.sket'br-ll, baseball end track. Mary Failor and Helen Gift mede the girls' 'bnskethallttesm click and win some games.
