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.

Dick McCullough served. as captain of the Jayvees, while Clair Brant, Clarence Plum, and Dick Lawyer sau: some action on the Jayvee team. Earl Stralcy shone on the line in soccer. Willing to try anything once five of us worked up enough courage and money to join Mr. Hamil's band. The instrumentalists in our midst are: Helen Gift, Mary Failor, Pauline Ecko. Paul Hoke, and Tom Fries Eigxt of us made the Vox Scholae staff this year. Dick McCullough was selected as Sports Editor, an honor for anyone not a senior. Pauline Hoke and Lorme McLucas are feature writers, and Mary Failor, Joan Byers, Anna Lee DeLauder, and Lester Mussleman reporters. Helen Gift is an assistant advertiser. We succeeded in getting one more member, Catherine Gift, in Mixed Chorus and three more boys, Paul Hoke. Lester Mussloman. and Nevin McLucas, in Boys' Chorus. The Girls' Chorus and Library Club are polluted with us. Tom Fries, Mary Failor, and Loma Mclncas broke through the hard requirements of Miss Wineman's dramatic club and helped make Linden a success. Lorma and Mary learned to cry dramatically and Tom Fries to make love and propose. B1l2a'b0arS in'-our curriculum this year were Latin and plane egeometry. In geometry Mr. Lausch always had to prove the theroms first and even then we couldn't see through them. Field projects were all right--we could get out of study hall for awhile. Latin scared us so much that only eleven even attempted a second year. We have found out since that our fears were mostly of our own making--if Miss Hoffoditz forgets about the constructions. lhrins, the winter months three more of our crew saw fit to leave us. They wore: Evelyn Heinbaugh, Clara Shaffer, and John Ebersols- Several more are now applying for permits to leave before that far-off age of seventeen comes around- Our ,junior crew promises to be small, but we hope for the return of everyone next Fall, still fighting. planning, and hoping for the Commencement of 1943. Until next Fall. Adieu . Pauline Hake One and forty number we, CLASS The Class of Nineteen Forty-thrco.
