SPARTA '76 McConnellsburg High School McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania 17233 Volume 34 it� s,i Fourth of July Ode I Our fathers fought for Liberty, They struggled long and well. History of their deeds can tell — But did they leave us free? II Are we free from vanity, Free from pride, and free from self. Free from love of power and pelf, From everything that's beggarly? III Are we free from stubborn will. From low hate and malice small. From opinion's tyrant thrall? Are none of us our own slaves still? IV Are we free to speak our thought. To be happy, and be poor. Free to enter Heaven's door, To live and labor as we ought? V Are we then made free at last From the fear of what men say. Free to reverence Today, Free from the slavery of the Past? VI Our fathers fought for liberty. They struggled long and well, History of their deeds can tell- But ourselves must set us free.

He is well liked by all the students of M.H.S. and he is a friend to everyone. He has been very nice to the class of '76 for if we needed a person to help us, Mr. Reed was always there with his wit, humor, and helpful suggestions. He has chaperoned many dances for our class for which we are thankful. Mr. Reed and his wife reside at R.D. 1 McConnellsburg and they are the proud parents of two sons and a baby daughter. The Class of 1976 joins with the graduating classes before us and those that will follow in saying thank-you to our teacher and our friend. Mr. Gerald Reed.

We elected the following as our class officers: Tim Gress, president; Mike White, vice-president; Stacey Soud- ers, secretary; and Ed Souders, treasurer. Our trip to Get- tysburg in April highlighted a very hectic and worrisome first year. In our sophomore year our leaders were Ed Souders. president; Tim Gress, vice-president; Jeanie Fix, secretary; and Kerin Mann, treasurer. We sponsored our first dance, received our school jackets, and sold Stanley products. In the spring, our class visited Philadelphia. Our junior year saw the following as our class officers: Steff Gordon, president; Denny Souders, vice-president; Jeanie Fix, secretary; and Walter Lane, treasurer. Anxiously we awaited the arrival of our class rings. We sold candy to help finance our trip to Lancaster. Our junior year came to its climax on the night of the Jr.-Sr. banquet and prom. Many hours were spent in its preparation and it will be a time we will always remember. After eleven years of hard work, we are now seniors. For the final time we elected class leaders. They are Tony Cunningham, president; Tim Gress, vice-president; Jeanie Fix, secretary, and Kerin Mann, treasurer. In the fall, we ordered class keys and pennants, and in January we ordered our announcements. As seniors, we were honored at the Jr.-Sr. banquet and prom, in the spring. At graduation time we nervously pondered the thought of either getting a job, getting married, going to the armed services, or going away to school.

Then Jr. Class President Steff Gordon welcomed everyone to the banquet. Other speakers were Sr. Class President Harry Mellott, Mr. Robert Swadley. Mr. Chester Creager. and Mr. Roy Mills. Mr. Swadley also presented awards to some of the Seniors, including a dog collar and chain to Mike Peck to help keep Dave (Grover) Washabaugh out of trouble. 52 Banquet PICTURES: 1. Staff Gordon. 2.

Stairway to Heaven A world of sparkling gold and silver stars, light fluffy clouds, and a delicate golden stairway enhanced the beauty of the prom. Stairway to Heaven. Much hard work and energy went into creating the prom and the Juniors were well rewarded. At last the moment everyone had been waiting for — the queen's coronation. The five girls viemg for the title were very excited and hopeful, but they knew only one girl would win. Sharon Hann was crowned queen that night, by the last year's queen Jackie Kelso. The band, August, played Knockin on Heavens Door , while Queen Sharon and court danced with their escorts. The prom advisors. Mrs. Reinwald. Mrs. Stackhouse, and Mr. Howells, were a great help and without them it wouldn't have been possible. It was a night for all to remember. Prom 55 Second Annual Fifties Day—Oct. 31, 1975 The second annual Fifties Day was held on Oct. 31, 1975. Although many students dressed for the Fifties Day, it was not quite as successful as last year. A sock hop was held in the gym during both lunch periods and Mr. Cover was the disc jockey. Everyone had fun observing what everyone else wore. 56 Fifties Day PICTURES: 1. Cindy Lynch. Mr. Howells, and Rose Mc- Quade 2 Rose McQuade. 3 Mrs. Hall.

On Monday morning they went on a Research Cruise on the vessel called the R. V. Everts. The class did things like determining the salinity, temperature, color, conductivity, amount of dissolved gas, P., and turbidity of the water on the surface, mid-depth, and on the bottom by using many different kinds of instruments. The students had to get a sample of the sediment on the bottom and observe the temperature, color, odor, and give a description of the sediment sample In addition, specimens collected in an otter trawl were identified by students and instructors. In the afternoon the students and instructors went to study intertidal biology. Tuesday morning the group studied beach geology. Be- fore they left for the beach, there was a short lecture on shore features to explain where the dunes, berms, shore line, coast line, and swash zone lie. At the beach the students did a beach profile locating all the above features. In the afternoon the students and instructors went out to a salt marsh. This was one of the best parts of the whole trip. Many organisms were found to be living there along with all different typ es of plants. In some places the group had to go through streams with mud up to their knees and water up to their waists. A few kids got stuck in the mud and had to be helped out. Wednesday morning the group went bird watching and saw two typ es of egrets and a few other species. They also visited the Oyster Museum which had many interesting exhibits and displays. Everyone had a great time, and they all learned a lot from this great experience. 3 GROUP ROW 1: P. Wenger. C. Carbaugh. J. Keebaugh. T. Perkins. S. Metz. D. Decker, D. Waltz. Mrs. Blevins. ROW 2: B.

Advanced Biology Trip 59 Work Experience When you are eligible for work experience, it is hard to tell where you might be working. There are many twelfth grade students on work experience. The boys on work experience have their major subjects the first three periods of the day and then go to their respective place of work in the various local businesses. The girls go to work at one o'clock. Not only do the students gain experience, they also get paid for their work. 2 3 Students Get Paid 60 Work Experience 62 Construction 6 I PICTURES: 1. Truck. 2.

Concrete being poured. $2.9 Million Expansion Program Begun Several years ago, it was decided that the existing school building was inadequate. Plans were then made for addi- tions and alterations. Mr. Robert Swadley was put in charge of the building plans. Eleven classrooms, a gym, a conference room, a large group instruction room, an auditorium, and cafeteria are now in the process of being built. The classroom furniture and cafeteria chairs will be purchased by this June. The downstairs of the old high school will be used as rooms for the upper elementary grades. The upstairs will be abandoned. July 26. 1976 was supposed to have been the date that the building was completed. But. due to weather it may be delayed. The objective is to have everything in full opera- tion by the '76'77 school year. The class of '76 won't be able to graduate from the new building due to delays caused by the weather. Plans for the future also call for a 440 track, a baseball and a soccer field. Construction 63 PICTURES: 1. 1912 Summer School, (Todd Township). 2 Green Hill second grade class in 1942 3.

With advisors, Mrs. Stackhouse, Mr. Swope, and Mr. Mann helping with the plans, the prom should be a success. Juniors are counting down the days until they get that one day off of school to decorate for the prom. They are also eagerly awaiting their class trip to Lancaster, which will also take place this spring. In the fall, juniors received their class rings with 1977 engraved on them.

Wai- team, Eddie Souders, Greg Gordon, and Andy Doyle, received national recognition in a ter Lane 5 Frank DeShonfl popular track and field magazine. The team finished the season with a record of eleven wins and two losses. The Spartans held their first place titles at the Shippensburg Invitational, Central Fulton Invitational, and the Cedar Cliff Relays. However, they could not defeat every team. The Spartans lost the District V Championship by only a few points. Despite this loss several Spartans still qualified for the state meet. They were Eddie Souders, Rick Hoffman. Andy Doyle, Denny McElhaney, and Greg Gordon. Three outstanding men on the team were Denny Souders, Greg Gordon, and Rick Hoffman. These men broke school records in the discus, triple jump, and 440 yard dash respectively. With so many fine athletes returning to the team, the '76 season promises to be successful. Track and Field 91 Spartans Win Six Medals This year the Spartan's brought home six medals from the indoor East Stroudsburg meet. They captured one gold and five silver medals. Eddie Souders won the 50 yd. dash at Gettysburg this year. This can be considered a remarkable feat because he ran against athletes from Class A schools. The Spartan 880 relay team now holds the district record. Steve Mellott, Eddie Souders. Rick Hoffman, and Andy Doyle are the members of this team. At the Shippensburg Invitational, the Spartans won the Class C title for the third consecutive year. They also won the Class B title at the Cedar Cliff relays for the second consecutive year. 92 Track and Field Track and Field 93 � «9 p ;■ . r TPfcf • « • f T_ v sJtk £ 'v 'T. $£ v .

After being Cove League Field Hockey champs for two consecutive years, the Spartans lost their first game to the Fannett-Metal Tigers. The Spartans then regained their con- fidence by defeating Rothrock and Southern Huntington, but when they needed a win badly, they only tied with Forbes Road. For the second half of the season, the Spartans over powered the Tigers, 2-1, and thought they had a chance at the Cove League title. But this season, success was not to be had by the Spartans, when they went into a slump, tied their last three games, and lost their Cove League title. The J.V. team displayed outstanding ability by winning all of their games except one, which they tied. The girls have not lost a game in three years, and are determined to bring back the Cove League title when they play varsity. PICTURES: 1. Teresa Seiders. 2. Sarah Kaplan. 3. Timer Steph Me Lucas. 4.

Bobby DeShong was overall high scorer for the little Spartans with a total of 4 goals. This is the third year the J.V.'s have had a new coach and this year it's Mr. Cline. The team suffered from a lack of communication while on the field. They might have won more games if they had talked to each other while playing. 1 SPARTANS OPPONENTS 1 Chambersburg 1 4 Greencastle 0 1 Fan nett-Metal 2 1 James Buchanan 2 3 Fannett Metal 0 0 Greencastle 1 2 James Buchanan 3 2 98 J.V.

This entitled them to travel to Pittsburgh to play North Allegheny High School. The Spartans made a fine showing, but still lost 4-1, due to North Allegheny's fancy footwork. The team displayed outstanding athletic ability through- out the season and finished with a league record of 6-8-2 and an overall record of 7-9-2. The season was unusually rainy, so many games had to be postponed. Therefore, the Spartans did not finish their season until the 8th of Novem- ber. The team boasted nine seniors, five juniors, three sopho- mores, and one freshman. Senior Mike White broke his ankle early in the season, and this prevented him from finishing it. Center-halfback Tony McGarvey and Goalie Greg Gordon were both named to the South-Penn Soccer League All-Star Team.

Five 8th graders and two 7th graders were chosen. Try outs had a late start and there wasn't much time for practice, but the girls were ready with cheers and uniforms by the first game. The first game the girls cheered at. was a home game with Forbes Road. The girls cheered the 9th grade team on to victory. The girls attended a cheerleading clinic at Penn State where they learned a new cheer called Super Star. The girls enjoyed themselves very much and tought it was a worth- while trip. The cheerleading squad will cheer for three basketball teams: the 7th and 8th grade boys, the 9th grade boys and the 7th and 8th grade girls. PICTURES: 1. Advisor, Mrs. Kathy Kendall. 2 JR.

In October, the J.V.'s along with the Varsity and Jr. High, attended a one-day Cheerleading clinic at Penn State, in which they learned new cheers and stunts. Traveling to Johnstown in November, the cheerleaders viewed a cheerleading contest. It was an annual contest in which the cheerleaders from the Johnstown area schools participated. The J.V.'s suffered a loss when Tina Horton, co-captain, became ill and couldn't cheer for over two months. Each year the J.V.'s look forward to Varsity try outs in March. Competition this year was tough, because there was only one opening on the Varsity squad. J.V. Cheerleaders 113 Varsity Cheerleaders Win Blue Ribbons 1 As in the past, the varsity cheer leading squad attended a summer camp. Last summer the camp was held at Hood College in Maryland. The camp lasted for four days, and in the morning the cheerleaders learned new cheers, chants, stunts, and pom pon routines. In the afternoon, the girls practiced hard to perfect the new cheers they learned and in the evening they performed the cheers and were evalu- ated by the staff of the camp. After evaluation, ribbons were presented to many of the squads. For the first time in several years, the McConnellsburg cheerleaders received Blue Superior ribbons. 4 PICTURES: 1.

Sparta '76 The '76 yearbook was started last year in May. The editors. Betty Geyer and Kerin Mann, went to a yearbook conference at Penn State to learn the latest ways to put together a year- book. During the summer, the spring sports pages were completed and meetings were held with Mr. Larry Allen, our yearbook company repre- sentative. During these meetings, the cover and endsheets were planned. After school started, the senior class had a day off school to collect ads for the yearbook. 120 Staff Staff Mr. Glenn Cordell and Mrs. J. Faye Elvey were the advisors for the '76 Sparta. Mr. Thomas Duffey helped this year by taking pictures and watching procedures to prepare him for next year when Mr. Cordell retires as yearbook advisor. Gary Benedick and Tony Cunningham were student photographers. Without them, many valuable experiences would not have been captured in a photograph. Mr. Robert Andrews took pictures of the clubs and sports. Debbie Welsh sold the most yearbooks for this year. For her efforts she received a free Sparta '76. Debbie also helped the editors with typing and other formalities. Staff 121 1 PICTURES: 1. JOURNALISM CLUB ROW 1: K. Souders. L. Sheeder, Business manager J. Hann. ROW 2: C. Richards. M. Jami son, P.

To qualify for this club, one must have an A in four of his or her major subjects, and at least a B in the other subjects. Each student in this club is really on a trial basis, for they only stay in this club by keeping up their grades. The advisor for the club is Mrs. Elvey, who encourages students to keep their grades high. Business Club and 400 Club 123 Student Council Makes Handbook The Student Council's big project for the year was making the new student handbook. It contains the alma mater, dress code, and the school rules. In the summer, the student council officers painted the outside bleachers. The bleachers were purchased by last year's student council. 1 On the last day of school before Christmas vacation, two basketball games were held. The S.C. boys played the men faculty and the S.C. girls played the Senior girls. The officers also attended the ground-breaking for the beginning of construction on the new school. PICTURES: 1.

FFA Participated in Festival The Future Farmers of America sold oranges, grape- fruits, and tangelos to make money to go to the farm show, which is in Harrisburg. Each year the club eagerly awaits the farm show, where they see all of the newest things in farming. An annual Small Game Banquet was held by the club in November. The group also participated in the Fulton Fall Folk Festival. They built a covered wagon by hand and drove it through McConnellsburg in the parade. 132 FFA FHA Raises $300 in a County Project 1 4 The FHA is a very enthusiastic club and participates in many activities. The girls raised $300 in a county project and contributed it to the Fulton County Historical Library. The money will be used to furnish the library. The FHA also participated in the Fulton Fall Folk Festival. They demonstrated the procedure of making apple dumplings and then sold the dumplings. Jill Hann crocheted an afghan. In the winter, a special talk was given by Dr. Jean Johnston on her special holiday memories and Christmas legends. The girls also went on an interesting annual field trip to the Farm Show on January 7th. The girls enjoyed a panel discussion on dating customs in the spring. It was led by Mr. Mills and eight senior high boys participated. PICTURES: 1 Mr Lyle Duf- fey and Sarah Metz. 2. Jill Hann. 3. Michelle Shafer 4 GROUP SEATED: P. Lewis, L. Miller, B Reel. R.

Boys and Girls Varsity Clubs Raise Money Money-raising is a definite must in the Varsity clubs. The clubs have to pay for their varsity jackets and the sports banquet in the spring. The boys sold posters with the schedule for boys' basketball games on them and blue and white toboggans with the word Spartans on them. The girls held a bake sale early in the fall and then took orders for red, white, and blue bicentennial tee-shirts. Receiving a varsity jacket is the reward an athlete looks forward to when he or she becomes a senior. This year, six girls and ten boys received these coveted coats. This year the girls also made some changes on their jackets. Because they liked the boys' jackets so well, they voted to get identical ones with the exception of the Spartan head on the sleeve. Of course they had the boys' permission. GIRLS' VARSITY CLUB ROW 1: J. Fix, S. McLucas, S. Kaplan. ROW 2: J. Henszey, B. Christian. ROW 3: P. Haw- baker, K. Mann, L. Grissmger, D. Welsh. STANDING: J.

The most exhausting activity so far this year will probably be remembered by four words-Fulton Fall Folk Festival. During the Fulton Fall Folk Festival, which lasted from October 17-19, the History Club members guided tours at the Cordell, Grissinger and Conner houses. At the Fulton House, they sold books containing the history of Fulton and Bedford Counties. They also had a player piano on display belting out old songs of yesteryears at the Fulton House.

Summer Supplement 177 Mellott's Men Win Districts Again The Spartan track team had their ups and downs all year. With men out all year because of injuries, the Spartans had everyone healthy for only one meet all year. But that one meet was the District Meet and the Spartans finally put it all together and when the dust had set- tled, the Spartans had regained the District V trophy they had lost a year ago. The team had many valuable performers led by the incredible Rick Hoffman. Rick set school records in the 100 (9.8), 220 (22.3) and 440 (49.1). Rick was counted on for 3 wins in each meet and he always came through. The highlight of Rick's year was the state meet when he won medals for a 4th place in the 100, 2nd in the 220, and first in the 440. The team also relied on good performances from Cliff Glunt, Greg Gordon, Walter Lane, Eric Souders, Frank DeShong, Denny Souders, Ed Souders, Rod Truax, and Chris Davis. The Spartans beat James Buchanan for the first time and won the Indiana, Shippensburg, and Fairfield Invitationals. With the loss of only 4 seniors, the 77 season is guaranteed to be a winning one. 178 Track 2 5 PICTURES 1. Rick Hoffman re- ceives State 440 gold medal. 2. Track team leaves for districts. 3.

The field hockey team bat- tled their way through a close sea son with many games equally as close. One Forbes Road-McCon- nellsburg game proved to be such a game, when Forbes won in the last 5 minutes of the game. PICTURES: 1. Janis Grissinger 2. Varsity team 3. Coach Hall 4. Jo Henszey 5.

Strait's Hitting Leads Baseball Team 1 The Spartan baseball team turned in a 3 8 record for the '76 season. Mr. Cline's players collected two wins; one over Fannett-Metal and a big win over Everett. Highlight of the season was the batting of Rod- ney Strait. Strait batted well over .500 all season and finished as the leading hitter in Franklin and Fulton Counties. PICTURES: 1. Rodney Strait 2.

The seniors left for Hersehy Park early the morning of May 19. 1976 and returned that evening at 7:30 pm. They were accompanied by Mrs. Elvey, Mrs. Reinwald, and Mr. Mills, and rode on Mr. Richard's and Mr. Reeder's buses. Most of the day was spent on the many rides, ranging from the merry-go-round to the roller coaster. Lots of eating was done too. Despite the cold weath- er, the seniors really enjoyed the trip, commented Mrs. Elvey after the trip. Senior Trip 183 4 PICTURES: 1. Stephanie McLucas and Morgan Win- ters 2.

Mr. Duffey directed the play. This was the last senior play to be pre sented on the old building stage. This ghoulish play told what happened to nine, young American tourists, in two days, while bicycling across Europe. The tourists were palyed by Deb Welsh, Jeannie Fix, Kerin Mann. Sarah Kaplan, Suzanne Kerlin, Betty Geyer, Steff Gordon, Barry Mellott, and John Johnson. The play went on to tell of an old castle where these young tourists spent the night, and of the strange hosts they had there. The Count, played by Morgan Winter and his wife Letha. played by Stephanie McLucas, were the hosts of this castle. During the young Amer- icans stay at the castle, the Count and Letha tried to marry off their daughter, played by Deb Seville, to Buddy Ford, played by John Johnson. But. of course. Granny always knew best and felt she should help, which made things fine one moment and a disaster the next. Granny was played by Cindy Lynch. Other members were: Marc Jamison, butler; Carol Ritchey, postmistress; Bill Koehler, circus man; and Frank Ingram, man in the clock. The makeup crew did a tremendous job in making the cast look their parts and the ghoul ish sound effects were by Steve Walker. Mrs. Gobin and her crew provided a ghoulish at- mosphere. 1 PICTURES: 1.

Its virtues love to tell. Sing it out among the high school. Spread the tale with vim and might; For McConnellsburg stands defended. By the blue and by the white. When at last our days are ended. And our last exams we've passed; We will say goodbye forever. To our teachers, school, and class. We will then take school day victories. Into the world's grim fate and might; And our victories will remind us. Of the blue and of the white. Farewell 175 The 1976 Sparta includes a 12-page spring supplement, which will be available at no cost at the high school in September. Please pick up your copy. 176 Autographs
