We hope that this will bring back pleasant memories to the Seniors, under- grads. and teachers and help our parents to understand more of our school day activities.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On August 31, 1942 nine very green and bashful little freshmen toddled into high school. They were: Dora Sidebottom, Jessie Shelton, Alice Metz, Shirley Hurst, Jane Dennis. Burke Fool, Eugene Rawlings, Clarence Herald and Frank Neese. We hadn’t journeyed in this strange but beautiful school long before the upper classmen laid traps through which we blundered for four days and one night. Then really being very nice people at heart, gave us a wonderful party. Our teachers that year were: Mrs. Carrison, Miss Ebbert, and Miss Muelder. Miss Ebbert was our class sponsor. Burke ool was our class president; Alice Metz, our vice-presi- dent; and Shirley Hurst, our Secretary treasurer. We started on the second part of our journey with the absence of Dora Sidebottom and Jessie Shelton. This year Jane Dennis was our presi- dent; Alice Metz, vice-president; Shirley Hurst, secretary; and Burke Pool our treasurer. This lap of the journey wasn’t as hard as the first one, but we still had quite a few slips when we started studying a very foreign language called Latin. Our teachers were: Mr. Fursiful, Mrs. Baron and Mrs. Arts. Mrs. Artz was our class advisor. During this year we lost Frank Neese and Eugene Rawlings and gained Dorothy Farran. We started the last half of our school days as Juniors. This year was quite eventful indeed! We sold pop, popcorn, and also had a cake raffled off at one of our more important games. We did this so that we could get our lovely class rings. Since we were to be the hosts to the Senior Class of that year, we had to have more money to take them to a banquet. We gave the very successful play, “Here Comes Charlie.’’ We took in the sum of thirty-five dollars, the most a class play has taken in here for quite some time. Our teachers were Mr. Dunbar, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Bradbury was our class sponsor. The officers this year were: Alice Metz, president; Shirley Hurst, vice-president; and Jane Dennis, secretary-treasurer. Ah! the grand finale before going into an unknown country where many dragons and evils await to pounce upon us if we do not glean all the weapons this land offers us. This year we had a school paper, “High School High Lights.” The ' staff of the school paper were: Jane Dennis, Editor-In-Chief; Shirley Hurst, Assistant Editor, and Dorothy Farran, Business Manager. We also had an annual on which we worked very hard. Burke Pool was president; Clarence Herald, vice-president, and Jane Dennis, secretary-treasurer. Our teachers, Mr. Dunbar, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Heflin part time and Mrs. Johnson last half. Mr. Dunbar was our class sponsor. We are now at the end of the happiest days of our lives and very sorrowfully, yet, happily we say good-bye. Jane Dennis CLASS PROPHECY As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place, and I laid me down in that place to sleep; and as I slept I dreamed a dream. I dreamed and behold I saw a man clothed in riches, standing in a cer- tain place with his face beholding the sky. I looked and saw him open his book and read therein. As he read, he wept and trembled; and not being able longer to contain himself, he cried, saying, “What shall I do with all of my money?” I asked who it could be and I was told a creature by the name of Clarence Herald. Now, I saw upon a time a being greatly distressed in her mind. I also saw her look this way and that way, I asked, “Wherefore dost thou cry?” She answered saying, “I ifel life! It is too much for me. I like peace and quiet, solitude and graceful living--but, alas, I’m married to a globe trotter. I do not stay in one place long enough. I have lived everywhere, Africa, Asia, Alaska.” I asked her name. She replied in a voice of woe. “It is Alice.” This night, as I was in my sleep, I dreamed, and behold the Heavens grew exceedingly black; also it thundered and lightninged in a most fearful wise. I looked up in my dream and saw a man sit upon a cloud. By him was a rocket plane. As I drew nearer to the man I heard him say, “I’ll try until I do it. I know I can reach the moon in this plane. I will reach it even though it takes me a thousand years. I dared not ask his name, but there was a name on the plane. I’m sure the name was “Dora”. Now, I saw in my dream a highway. I followed it until I came to. a town. The name of the town was Farran. I was troubled to think that the name of the town had been so recently changed. I stopped to ask the reason. ri hey told me that this was the home town of a famous dramatic actress of the stage and screen. Fhe had given the citizens one hundred thousand dollars to rename the town “Farran Now, in my dream I followed the highway about mid-way to the top of a hill. There stood a lovely home. I turned in for refreshment because I was weary There came a woman running toward me. I asked her why she ran. Oh! I must hurry!” she answered. “I’m late for school, I have so much to do at home before school that I’m always late.” “Hurry! Rushl I’m nearly crazy.” I asked her name. I thought she said Jane but I’m not sure. In my dream I made haste and went forward. My way led to a large city. I saw a huge building with large white rooms. I saw many women, dressed in white silently and efficiently attending the sick. I recognized one of them by her name, Shirley Hurst, written on her uniform of white. I awoke, and behold it was not a dream. CLASS WILL We. the Seniors of C. H. S. being of sound mind and body do hereby decxare on this eighth day of May, nineteen hundred and forty-six, that the following is a true and correct copy of our last will and testimony.

(Signed) Jane Dennis, Secretary ’46 Burke Pool, President, ’46 WITNESSED: J. L. Dunbar Vera Smith JUNIOR CLASS From top to bottom: Donald Herald Roger Leahr Enoch Ham James Crow JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 1, 1943 we started on our loathsome journey. There were nine in our class, namely: James Crow, Donald Herald, Enoch Ham, Roger Leahr, Donald Ballard, Martha Jean Ballard, Anna Mae Secrest and Norma Jean Todd. Norma Jean and Anna Mae dropped out the first semester. In the second semester Frances Crow joined our class but left later in the semester. Roger leahr was elected president; Martha Jean Ballard, vice-president; James Crow, secretary- treasurer, and Mrs. Baron was our sponsor. Our teachers this year were Joseph H. Pursifull, Principal; Ethel Baron, and Helen Artz. In our sophomore year our class roll was: James Crow, Enoch Ham, Donald Herald, Martha Jean Ballard, Roger Leahr, and Donald Ballard. Our class officers were Martha Jean Ballard, president; Donald Herald, vice-president; James Crow, secretary- treasurer. Our class sponsor was Mrs. Smith. The teachers this year were J. L. Dunbar, Principal; Vera Smith and Frieda Brad- bury. Donald Ballard moved to Pittsfield during the first semester leaving only five in the class. On February 14, with the help of Mrs. Smith we sponsored a Valentine Party. It was a great success. We played games and had ice cream and cake for refreshments. At the close of our sophomore year Martha Jean Ballard became Mrs. Howell Browning. This left our class with only four members. At the start of our Junior year there were four boys in our class, namely: Enoch Ham, James Crow, Donald Herald, and Roger Leahr. This year Roger Leahr was elected president; James Crew, vice-president; and Donald Herald, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Smith was elected as our sponsor. We sold pop and other eats at the basketball games and have $50.00 now in our treasury. With the help of Mrs. Smith and the senior class we hope to pro- duce a play in March. At the end of this year we pass into the final lap of one of our most important tasks of life. We hope that next year is even more successful for us than the last three have been.

From then on, we were to be known as the class of ’48. At first we were like all other freshmen— green and lost. But soon, like all others before us, we began to find our way around more easily and we lost a little of the bright green look. The members of the Freshman Class of 1944 were: Dora McDannald, Truman Stinebaker, Oneida Farran, Bill Browning, Patricia Morath, Carolyn Crawford, Erma Kallenbach, Jimmie Gord- ley, Maxine Roate, Iyle Pool, and Virginia Dennis. At our first class meeting under the direction of our able advisor, Mrs. Smith, we elect- ed Dora McDannald as president, Lyle Pool as vice- president and Patty Morath as secretary-treasurer. Of course, like many freshmen before us, we were put through the ordeal of being initiated, which was much fun for most of us. After three days and one night of this we were really and truly students of the Chambersburg High School. This year we returned with our original class. We chose Iyle Pool as president, Truman Stinebaker as vice-president, and Erma Kallenbach as secretary-treasurer. We elected Mrs. Smith as our class sponsor for the second time. We are very proud to say that one of the first five basketball players, Lyle Pool, comes from our class. We are all looking forward to our Junior and Senior years in good old C. C. H. S. Virginia Dennis FRESHMEN CLASS First row left to right: Edward Jackson, Margine Dennis, and David Browning Second row left to right: Wilma Metz; and Lois Cook, Third row left to right: Wayne Lidgard, Alma Metz, and Kenneth Ham. . V FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Eight boys and girls started their high school days September 1, 1945 under the supervis- ion of Mr. J. L, Dunbar, Mrs. Vera Smith and Mr. Ed. J. Heflin. They were: David Browning, Wayne Lidgard, Wilma Metz, Kenneth Ham, Margine Den- nis, Alma Metz, Lois Cook and Edward Jackson. At our first class meeting we elected David Browning, president: Wayne Lidgard, vice- president- and Wilma Metz, secretary-treasurer. For our class colors we chose blue and white; class flower, white rose; and our motto, “The Stars Beckon.” Everything went very smoothly for all of us until we heard a rumor that we were going to be initiated on September 17th by the Juniors and Seniors. At first we dreaded this very much, but when the day came we enjoyed it. Four days and one night of this made us really and truly students of the Chambersburg High School. We gave one party during the year. This was held February 5th. We invited the entire high school. Games were played and enjoyed by everyone. Dancing was also enjoyed by those who dance. For refreshments we served peaches and ovaltine. Every- one said it was a grand party. The subjects we selected were Latin I, Civics, English I, and Algebra. We got along fine with everything except I atin. We found Latin hard to understand, especially the conjugation of verbs, but we are sure we will never regret taking this subject. Before I bring the Freshman Class History to a close I want to say that we are proud of our class. We are proud of Edward Jackson one of our super five basketball players. We are all looking forward to our future years in good old C. C. H. S. David Browning FIRST TEAM First row left to right: Enoch Ham and Edward Jackson.
