LITES CLASS HISTORY 3946-47 In September, 1946, thirty-two green and self-conscious freshmen entered the open doors of McConnellsburg High School. We were badly confused that first day. but with the help of a few sympathetic upper classmen, we soon became accus- tomed to high school routine. A hay ride was our first get-together.” In a short time we greenies” were a definite part of the school’s social life. We eagerly entered extra-curricular activities. Several began successful athletic careers; a number of us were musically inclined; others showed promise of leadership in the various organizations. 1947-48 We entered our second year of high school with much enthusiasm. Our initiation was the first event of the year’s social calendar. We had a number of rep- resentatives in assembly programs, the spring operetta and choral groups. Donald Ott represented us at the Shippensburg Teachers College Track Meet. A weiner roast at Cow’an’s Gap concluded the sophomore schedule of events. 1948-49 As juniors, we soon took our places as school leaders. We sponsored the Thanksgiving Dance, the first big event of the year’s social calendar, but the most ex- citing happening of the season w'as the banquet, with the seniors as our guests. The Prom followed the banquet, with dancing to the music of Allen Snair. Donald Ott again brought credit to the class of 1950 at the P. I. A. A. District Meet at Somerset and the State Meet at State College. Our newly elected staff took over the printing of STUDENT FLASHES, a project continued throughout the senior year. 1949-50 We began our senior year by the election of new officers and plans for initiation ceremonies for the sophomores. Our class began another year of active participation in school activities. Mary Ellen Shinier became treasurer of the school fund Virginia Gress and Robert Cutchall were the respective editors of STUDENT FLASHES and FLASH LITES. Glenn Gordon received the degree of Keystone Farmer at the State Farm Show. Captains Ott and Cline, backed by a hearty squad, led our basketball teams to victory. Our members had leading roles in our one-act plays and operetta. We have continued to raise money for our trip to New York, and look for- ward to a delightful commencement program.

FLASH 25r. LITES CLASS WILL TO OUR HEIRS We, the senior class of the McConnellsburg High School, being now about ready to cast aside our nigh school ways and depart for that sedate land of adulthood, and being mindful of the needs of those we leave behind in McConnellsburg High School, do by these presents declare our last will and testament to be: 1. —Our memories of high school we take with us. to cherish forever and forever. 2. —We leave to our faculty members our sincere thanks for their patience and kind interest in our welfare. We trust that we shall not disappoint them in what they expect of us. 3. —To the freshman class of next year, we leave our wish for strength to stand up under the strain of entering high school: our ability when we were fresh- men to quickly adjust ourselves to changing conditions, and our brilliance as freshmen. 4. —To the sophomores, we leave the best year of our lives—now a hectic memory. We were not wise enough to be seniors—and we were too advanced to be freshmen. 5.—To the freshman class of this year, we leave a warning that if you don’t desire to work all the years of your high school, stop now. By next year it will be too late. 6. —To the juniors of this year, we leave our thanks and appreciation for the splendid way in which they have executed all the activities of the high school in which they have had charge. 7. To our class sponsor, Mrs. Ott, we leave the job of sponsoring some, other class. We realize that there will never be as much inspiration to a class sponsor from any other class than ours. And we do express our thanks for the sponsorship given us through the term now closing. FLASH «o e� o � 95 o e� e� e« LITES 8.

Secretary FLASH 3E LITES i CLASS PROPHECY MCCONNELLSBURG ADVERTISER JUNE 30. 1975 Strange things happen to us sometimes and mysterious gifts are apt to fall “out of everywhere” into our hands just when we least expect them. I had said I would never again be surprisea by anything, but when a newspaper dropped into my lap from the very air about me. I was willing to take back the rash vow I had made, for it was certainly a startling occurrence, to say the least, to say nothing of my amazement when I read the name and date—“McConnellsburg Advertiser—June 30. 1975.” Where did it come from? And what could it all signify to me? I was never one to remain long in suspense when the means of gratifying my curiosity were at hand, or obtainable, and I opened the paper nastily and from the records of thirty years yet unborn here are some of the things I read. 1 marked only those I thought would be of most interest to you: Mr. Glenn Gordon, wealthy farmer, has just returned to his estate “Gor- don’s Pioneer Cabin” after spending the past two years in the South helping with reconstruction. Mayor of Jugtown, Eugene Souders, invites the Society Queen of 1975, Miss Frances Rhodes, to be official hostess to the Centennial Ball which is being held July 4th. Flash! Flash! Due to an attack of laryngitis, the one and only Metro- politan opera star. Martha Culler, will be unable to appear at the annual “Sheep Herd- ers Banquet” being held at Sydney, Australia. A large wedding was held in New York City in St. Peter’s Catholic Church where Sister Maria, formerly known as Martha Sowers, has decided to become a nun and go about the world doing good for people because she herseif was greatly disap- pointed in her love affair during her senior year at M. H. S. Extra! Extra! All about the big battle! Greek forces led to victory by the gallant soldier, hero of the hour—General Stanley LeRoy Kline. Professor Donald Ott of the University of California won the “ Mabel Award for his great discovery on “How to Raise Mashed Potatoes.” Only through his vast learning at M. H. S. was this made possible. A new cartoonist will make his appearance in the St. Louis Post Dispatch next Sunday. He runs a strip entitled “Pink Eye, the Snail Eater. He draws pic- tures under the name of Jim. the Ant Killer but in real life he is Robert Cutchall. The odds for the betting are placed on the Popular Party’s candidate for President. Statistics and straw votes indicate he will carry the state of uproar and the state of unrest. His name is Robert Earley. Double and Son report a new book just off the press. It is from the pen of a well known authoress, Mary Alice Bivens. She is said to have done her first writing in McConnellsburg High School, when she wrote an examination paper that got a rejection slip. | FLASH 3E LITES Miss Janet Cline is the captain of the wingless airplane which is scheduled to stop here next Wednesday, on its regular world-touring flight. It is said that the ship has made the world tour in a time record of 23 hours, 2 minutes, one-half second. The greatest scientific discovery on the hydrogen bomb has just been an- nounced by Dr. Harry Reeder after fifty years of extensive research. Prize fighter, Carl Helman, fell from the scales at Peach Orchard Rose Bowl while being weighed for his championship fight and dislocated his neck. He was immediately rushed to the Thomas Memorial Hospital at Thomastown. Here he received medical attention from Dr. Carl Elvey. Somehow during the maneuver of this task. Helman's head was completely reversed and Dr. Elvey reports that at pres- ent he is unable to say whether his patient is coming or going. Virginia Gress, famous bareback rider of Arizona, escaped death early this morning when she was thrown by her horse. The great catastrophe was caused by the appearance of a mouse. Miss Patricia Souders will be present at the class reunion of 1950 which is being held at the Waldorf, New York City. Miss Souders still remains an old maid and will lecture on a strong subject demonstrating her independence of men. The Barnum and Bailey Circus will make its regular appearance at Web- ster Mills on June 21 at 1:00 P. M. The main attraction of the show this year is The Great Glass Eater, who will be remembered as Carl Snyder, Class of 1950 of M. H. S. Miss Mary ETTen Shirner, famous concert pianist, has just completed her world tour of the year and is now resting at her home. Some of the numbers that Miss Shirner presented to her audience that have received world acclaim are Solomon Levi, America, and Brahms Concerto No. 6.” The most disastrous fire of the year was witnessed last night when The Last Chance Diner burned to the ground. The diner was owned and operated by Mr. Fred Snyder and Mr. Kenneth Ray. They are pleading for contributions from their friends, especially their classmates of 1950. The United States President. Charles Clark, has just selected Gayle Fraker, a former classmate of M H. S., as his private secretary. Miss Fraker is very valuable to the President because she can take dictation at 500 words a minute. Calvin Mellott. aided by his accomplice, Betty Souders, robbed the baby department of Alton Ritchey’s Snuggle Bunny Shop. As to date no trace has been found of the robbers. Madame Humphreys, famous Paris designer, has come out with the latest style of the year. It will consist of a three-piece ensemble, featuring a burlap bolero and skirt with a dish cloth blouse. Mrs. Calvin Glazier will leave tomorrow in her rocket. Flower Garden. for Mars. There she will conduct a class on road improvements. These are the things that have been most interesting to me. so I am glad to pass them on to you. It is a pleasure to share with you this remarkable find. I hope that it may answer for you. as it did for me. the all-important question. “What is go- ing to become of the Class of 1950? PATRONS MR. HOLLIS M. WIBLE MR. AND MRS. BENJAMIN F.
