C LASS W I L L We, the Seniors of M. C. H. S. being of half sound mind and body do declare on this twenty-fifth day of May, nineteen hundred and fifty-six, that the following is a true and correct copy of our last will and testimony. We, the Seniors, will to the faculty our regular habits, punct- uality, and the excuses we are so good about bringing from home. To the Juniors, we will our ability to hold quiet class meetings and all our Senior dignity. To the Sophomores, we will our ability to hold long arguements that never get us anywhere, and our extreme quietness in the halls. To the Freshmen, we will our fondness for cokes and candy bars, and our skill for hitting the waste basket with our chewing gum. I, Betty Lou Allen, leave my volleyball ability to Bonnie Edlen. I, Charles Allen, leave my hot-rod ability to Ronnie Potter. I, George Allen, leave my ability to sleep in classes and get by with it to Ronnie Potter. I, Warren Dickman, leave my basketball technique to Ronnie Ellett. I, Vera Kay Fricke, will all the sour notes in chorus to Mary Jean Steinberg. 1, Marcella Gregory, will my ability to argue to Rebecca VanDeventer. I, Judy Hobson, will all the gum wrappers from Democracy class to Mark Unland and Mr. Major. I, Sandra Little, leave all the cob webs in the corners to Spider (Mary) Gregory. I, Curtiss Muntman, leave my membership card in the alcoholic anonymous club to Jim Rausch. I, Mardell McDaniel, will nothing. I need everything I have.

That is what might have been heard from some of the Freshmen students in September, 1952, when they all came back to school to start their high school career. High School meant settling down, working hard, and trying their best to act like, or rather be, ladies and gentlemen. If you had looked this group over well, you would have found thirty-three Freshmen enrolled. They were Betty Allen, Charles Allen, George Allen, Marilyn Allen, John Barfield, Norma Dale, James Myers, Fonda Petri, Rita Petri, Bobby Dawson, Delbert VanHyning, Darold VanHyning, Stella McDannald, Marcella Gregory, Sandra Little, Doris Potter, Mardell McDaniel, John Ruyle, Rex Tracy, Jo Ellen Steinberg, Norma Workman, Vera Kay Fricke, Judy Hobson, Marilyn Schneider, Warren Dickman, Du Wayne Rausch, Roland Ransom, Billy Nunn, Curtis Muntman, Virginia Miller, and Donald Hannel. During the year of 1952, Chambersburg High School combined with Meredosia High School to form Unit II. Due to the combining of the two schools, we gained two more pupils, Harriett Thompson and Virginia Sims. During our Freshmen year, we lost five students. Marilyn Allen, John Barfield, Virginia Miller, Billy Nunn, and Roland Ransom. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, twenty-eight students registered. The end of the Sophomore year found us with a total of 22
