As wheel revolves about the hub, so the entire school centers about the office. All the in- numerable cogs must be kept in motion by the secretary, Miss Bowmaster. To her the Seniors sincerely dedicate this fourth publication of the Hi-Point in grateful recognition of her service to us and the entire personnel of the school. , ,W , 4. FGREWGRD Meyersdale High School is sending into the economic world another class of Seniors, the men and women of tomorrow. On us and our contem- poraries rests the fate of not only our own country, but of the entire world of the future. Every good worker needs trainingg we have spent twelve years in training school so that we may help to solve the problems of this chaotic world. Within these covers are pictures and stories revealing our prep- aration. May we use this training wisely and to the best possible advantage in the future! To meet the needs of a rapidly evolving social order schools are offering a varied and enriched curriculum. The school of tomorrow must deal with the current and future needs of society, and must make provision for the needs and capacities of the individual. In doing this it will not disregard the past and the present social values, but rather will interpret, in light of current conditions and needs, the many important lessons of present day value to be gained from the past. Meyersdale High School has kept pace with the ever changing social order by adding to the traditional curriculum the type of courses which will meet the current and future needs of the individual as well as providing for a partial solution of the problems of the community. These courses include Practical Mathematics for all ninth grade pupils, and Senior Science, an elective for twelfth grade students, as well as emphasizing the work in commercial and vocational fields. In addition to this constant effort has been made to encourage group activity in clubs and in music so that the graduates will be able to cope with the problems that face them as citizens as they assume their place in society. This growth must continue in order that society will receive adequate service and that the citizens of the future will be so served that they will think critically, cooperatively, and patiently, and by so doing they will find a better way of life for themselves than we have found today. Meyers- dale High School is not only making the past live but relating it to the present and building a bridge to the future. CHARLES F. SAYLOR Su pervixin g Principal mud Howard Hartshorn Mark R.

Now being a Worm is bad enough but being a hen-pecked worm is a calamity. You see ..... I'll show the pop-eyed world I'm no worm shouted Joe Baines QMr. Pfrognerj and you really couldn't blame him. His wife fMiss Slaglej was at her pecking- best when she complained, If you'd only show some determination. You've got about as much kick as a dead mule. All your life you've just drifted along-no ambition, no initiative, no-- He had a cute daughter, Sue, fMrs. Reichj but she was a spoiled, saucy, brat. Girl of my dreams I'd give my life for you, was about all we could hear from his son, Ralph, fMr. Guthriej. It was fun when his sister caught him proposing-on his knees, too. jim Archer fMr. Snyder, was much too busy courting Sue to help poor old Joe. The shyster lawyer fMr. Morrisonj, the villainous boss fMr. Hartshornj-minus whip and mustache-all helped to make life miserable for Joe. But finally, helped by his niece Ellen Louise fMiss Ellen- bergerj and her friend, the financier fMr. Saylory THE WORM TURNED. And so we leave with you the immortal words of the furniture moverfMr. Abelej, Well, Chief, do she move or do she stay. The play was suggested by the P. T. A. --presented by the M. H. S. faculty-directed and produced by Mrs. Elizabeth Witt and Miss Ryland with the assistance of Miss Hostetler, Mr. Stuempfle, and Mr. Livengood--as a donation to the fund for band uniforms. Flash! Flash! M. H. S. faculty-Summer 1939-MR. JOHN SNYDER returned from a year as a teacher in the American School for Boys in Bagdad. fWhere's that? Ask himj-MR. MARK GUTHRIE was busy introducing his wife to his fam- ily and friends. fMaybe it will be our turn nextj-MRS. RUTH REICH was house- keeping, but now she's back with us with dozens of new ideas fHave you heard of her Chef Clubj-'Twas orange blossoms and honeymoons for MISS ELIZABETH GNAGEY and MR. PAUL ABELE QWe've already ribbed them enoughj-MISS ANNA BOLDEN and MR. GEORGE PFROGNER were on the sick-list fWe're glad they are better,-Several combined business with pleasure and went to summer school, MISS MABE.LsSLQGLE,1to West Virginia, MISS MARY RYLAND to Penn State, MISS ALICE ELL NBERGBR to ,University of Michigan QDO they enjoy themselves-you might see if they go' back in '40,-If you really want to see some- thing MISS MARGARET HOSTETLER says its the Worlds Fair. Uust what was the most exciting part, Pudj-MR. HUGH MORRISON, MR. STUEMPFLE and MR. HARTSHORN all recommend Canada QI wonder if its the fishing.,-But it's really orchids to MR. JAMES LIVENGOOD-he saw twenty-seven states, ten national parks, and parts of Mexico and Canada Cplus lots of things we'll never hear aboutj. ' -7- I We are passing for the last time from the dim halls into the familiar classroom. The cherry light from the windows iills the room with a rosy glow. The well-known buzz of the bell starts the low murmur of students reciting. Only too soon the final bell sounds and We are free to do as we please. Now we face a world torn by uproar, wars, political disorders, labor troubles, and unemployment. Unafraid we face this world of chaos, hoping to make it a better place for our being here. -Dorothea Hilner -3- r iw r-1 :f-A 1E-, ?,Klgj xfivo C N lv 'QSM gif M E1 J , V .B V, - ..,v 1 If ' .ff .

With Dick Bolden as captain, the Junior Crew has put its best foot forward. In the past year the members have labored so well in their various duties that they have merited that long awaited promotion to the Senior Ship. In contrast with the U. S. Navy, the M. H. S. fleet is unique in that it has co-ed ships. The junior Class being no exception, has succeeded in its journey so far only because it has been co-ed. Isnit that right, boys? There were some tasks which were strictly feminine, and have been carried out by the female division of the crew. Can you imagine a successful Junior Prom without the gals? Meanwhile, the males on board performed the he-man jobs in addition to obeying their usual orders. There are several officers whose records are outstand- ing, among whom are Andrew Gates, first mate, fwho already seems to have lost his heart on the Senior shipjg Betty Dwire, second mate, Qdittojg Elizabeth Ann Groif, first officerg Tom Shipley, second officerg Bill Critch- field, third officer, Betty Mankemeyer, chief chef. The honorary Staff members who sponsored the travels of the junior Class this year were Miss Slagle and Mr. Snyder. Well the ship is about to dock, and will soon take over the Senior vessel. Then their duty is to go out and investigate further the sea of knowledge. Bon Voyage! ...Z QM. While peeping through the keyholes at the SOPHO- MORE CLASS, this is what I saw staring me in the face. In Mr. Guthrie's room I saw a group of busy students with a look of sarcasm on their faces wondering how they can raise enough money to buy adding machines for their bookkeeping class to be. In Mrs. Reich's room I saw a group of smiling girls learning how to sew and cook so they can either work in the Shirt Factory or get married after they graduate. In Mr. Pfrogner's room, I saw a few students wondering whether they felt like going to the next class or not. They only go to class when they feel like it Cso they sayj. Last, but not least, in Mr. Livengood's room I saw the students watching with great interest his circus snakes, rats, and guinea pigs. They were wondering when the snake was going to stand on its head, when the rat was going to squeal, and when the guinea pigs would be large enough to butcher. In conclusion, the Sophomore class, was too busy wondering, learning, day dreaming and gazing around to Gnd time to organize or to have a party to ease the monotony. P. S. Maybe they heard about my snooping, They had a party February the eighth and had fun. Those little green FRESHMEN will soon be green no longer. They look forward to becoming sophisticated sophomores. I wonder if they will ever forget the day Miss Hostetler made them sweep the floor in study hall. Despite all their over-activity in the way of spit-balls, and paper airplanes and notes fafter all, they are still children, they give promise of possessing that illusive thing called mentality. In between their mischievous exploits, we saw several flashes of intelligence. Maybe that was because they received the Key of Knowledge on their first Move-up Day. In fact, these cherubs', have been so industrious fgetting into trouble, that they haven't had time for any class activities. They didn't even have time to elect a pilot to steer them safely through the perilous green waters of Freshman Day. But in spite of our sarcastic remarks and the upper- classmen ridicule, we admit this wouldn't be a high school without the greenies. Sophisticated sophomores? She deserted us for matrimony. A diller, a dollar, they're ten o'clock scholars.

In case you are a bit in the dusk, we are referring to that big depart- ment of commercial subjects coming to you from station MHS, through the courtesy of Miss Hos- tetler and Mr. Guthrie. This department is open to all students who de- sire to become bookkeepers, stenographers, or per- haps professional typists. Who knows, we may have one pinned under the mike now. The enrollment in our commercial department is large. The course offers two years of book- keeping or shorthand and two years of typing. The general opinion given of a commercial course is that it is the easiest course to take. This is an incorrect idea. The course is long and tough, as you might say, and DOI short and sweet. Students taking shorthand have a goal ahead of them-that of attaining a speed of 120 words a minute in taking dictation. Going this fast, a gum- chewer would be barred. Shorthand and gum don't mix. Miss Hostetler teaches the beginners in shorthand while Mr. Guthrie gives the finishing touches to those energetic enough to take a second year. The shorthand class of 1940 includes only girls. fDo our boys all expect to be Bosses? j First year typing classes are taught by Miss Hos- tetler who has a real technique with the begin- ners. She also teaches one of the second year typing classes while Mr. Guthrie teaches the other. The typing room in our school has thirty type- writers which are used by the students five days a week. -241 DISSECTION! INVESTIGATION! CREATION I xl EMBRYO - SCIENTISTS ' x 1 . In the Science department of this institution we have for greenies General Science which is just a general study of the wonders of the scientific world. But beware of what is to follow! Next comes the study of worms and stuff-Biology. The chosen few who want to absorb more scientific knowledge continue their course with the study of Physics. Some students who want to continue their Freshman Science course study f?j Senior Science in order to learn the correct number of calo- ries used in the effort to cook one fried egg. Chemistry is for those who are really ready to knuckle down and put their noses to the well-known grindstone. For a few people who have nothing else to do during certain Activities Periods and for those really interested in Science, we have the Science Club. By the way, we have a Photography club in this school, too, the You Take 'Em, We Make 'Em society. The latter organization is a very worthy one and the HI-POINT is very grateful to them for their fine work and cooperation while taking and developing the pictures for this publication. As for the geniuses who innstruct the Embryo-Einsteins in this department we have Mr. Pfrogner and Mr. Livengood. Mr. Livengood is also the advisor for the Science and Photography Clubs. 125T Better late than never is the motto of the Alpha Tri-Hi-Y. The ALPHA TRI-HI-Y helps Owing to the illness of Miss Bolden the club wasn't organized until build e beffef Wefld and Pm' almost Christmas time, but are they making up for lost time! This club is composed of approximately fifty junior and Senior girls. Since most of these girls are deep in the throes of puppy love, it was their idea to have a Christmas partv and each invite her man of the hour. Did they have fun? Well, most of them are still re- cuperating! The club also had their own private Christmas party for just the members of the club. The Alphas selected two of their number to advise the Gamma Gra-Y, a Tri-Hi-Y club for the sev- enth and eighth grade girls. This year Eloise Englehart and Doro- thea Hilner have the honor. The Alphas have attended church, taken part in the Rockwood Rally, and bought a mirror for the girls' lavatory in the new building. Everyone has a good time in this club and yet they all try to live up to their club aim: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. motes high standards of Chris- tian character. -Marguerife Spence '40 The Beta Tri-Hi-Y will come to order, calls President Jeanne Weimer, so that she can be heard over the babble of girlish voices.

Not only have they been selling candy this year but they have attended the Rockwood Rally, went to church, and put on an assembly program. The social life of this club has not been neglected either with Miss Slagle as advisor. Every member of this organization has in mind at all times its slogan: Pure thoughts, pure words, pure actions. 7 Escorts, bake sales, conferences, swell fellowship are a few of HI-Y the words and phrases which describe our Hi-Y and its activities. one ef the few Suggestions The organization has standards and really tries to live up to them. In December, Dick Bolden and Gus Hartle represented our Hi-Y at an older boys Hi-Y conference at Evensburg Mountain. Dick wowed them with one of his famous speeches. It seems they had a wonderful time, but you must ask them about that. The Hi-Y held a joint-conference with the Tri-Hi-Y at Rock- wood. The boys in our organization claim they went primarily, to see if the other Tri-Hi-Y clubs have as good looking girls as ours. fTake a bow, girlslj The head engineer of this club is Mr. james Livengood and he sees that we're on all four wheels, in high gear, going full speed ahead.

In case you don't know to whom I am referring, I mean the staff of our school scandalizer, the Hi-View. Editor Kenny Critchfield keeps the wheels of jour- nalism in motion and, aided by Assistant Editor Dick Bolden, watches to see that all the cogs of the machine are in good working order and that no chains slip. Feature Editor Windy Wetmiller spends all his time prying into other peoples' busi- ness for scandal to write in his gossip column. His assistant snoopers are Keith Ringler and Tom Shipley. Elaine Speicher, the News Editor, covers all the school events, while Betty Dwire, one of the junior belles who never misses a school dance or social event, serves as Social Editor. In charge of swapping publications is Exchange Editor Celia D'Amico. The big financiers of this organi- zation are Business Manager Fred Wilmoth and his assistant, Zip Commons. The chief dood- lers for the staff are Art Director john Durr and his assistants Fuzzy Floto and Lois Keim. Cov- ering all the major and minor sports events are Sports Editor Gussie Hartle and his assistant, Andy Gates. Mr. Snyder advises and keeps track of these budding young journalists. Quotes from Hi-View New semester resolutions: 1. Not to blame other people for our failures. 2. To get our studying done before exam week. 3. To re- member faculty members are human. 4.

THE HI-POINT HONORS CLASS OF '40 Every other Monday at the sound of the Activi- ties period bell, a group of energetic UQ Seniors gathered around Miss Ryland's desk to argue the merits of this and that type of arrangement, or covers, or pictures, well, in fact almost everything that concerned the yearbook. We are very proud of the HI-POINT this year for all the photography work has been done by members of our staff under the able direction and assistance of Mr. James Livengood. We have done our best to give you a yearbook that would keep alive memories of the Class of '40. The entire staff wishes to thank the advertisers, Mr. Livengood and the photography staff, Miss Hostetler and the typing staff, and all who helped in any way to make this publication possible.

A. u Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve. -Robert Beall '40 n HOME ECONOMICS Do all men prefer good cooks? -Betty Mankamyer '41 Out of the Senior and Junior Classes a certain group of students has merited the highest honor given in our high school, that of be- coming members of the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY. This society tends to provide higher ideals for those worthy of this honor. They have been quite active this year. A full program was planned--the outstanding parts of which were: the Spelling Bee and the Induction Ceremonies, which went off without any mishaps, and Student Day which is probably the most important and most anticipated. As for mishaps in the group-well, judge for yourself. Did you wonder why several members did not take part in the Induction Ceremonies? A few of the members were ousted temporarily, due to the fact that they did not continue to measure up to one re- quirement, a specific grade average. But being incited by the other members, they soon redeemed themselves. The efficient advisor of this organization is Mrs. Elizabeth Gnagey Witt. The Honor So- ciety was established in M. H. S. in 1930 and since then has become one of the leading extra-curricular activities. The president for the first semester of this year was Charles Glessner, who proved himself quite capable of handling such a position. As in other clubs, the Honor Society has fun at their meetings, too. When you get Gus Hartle, Dick Bolden, and a few more like those together, you're bound to get a good laugh. The FUTURE FARMERS felt mighty important this year and with just cause. Ellsworth Werner and Robert Peck were two of the three boys representing Pennsylvania at the National Conven- tion in Kansas City. Those boys surely know their livestock-dead or alive. William Moser and Norman Gnagey went along to fur- nish the music-they represented us in the State F. F. A. band. Mr. Howard Hartshorn, their teacher and club advisor, accompanied the boys to Kansas City. The boys are proud of john Mimmie too, because he was elected President of the county organization. The following oflicers were elected: Robert Beall, presidentg John Mimmie, vice-president, William Gnagey, treasurerg George Pfahler, secretary, Ellsworth Werner, reporter. One of the boys told us that joseph Suder was appointed Farm Watch Dog but we're not sure just what his duties are. ...30-. AH!

The theme song of our band comes to the ears of all those people lined along the street waiting to attend the annual Somerset- Meyersdale Football game. First struts our drum major in his new white uniform and then come out two majorettes bringing up the second rank, but creating a first- rank sensation. Perhaps the band should be given credit for the over-flowing school spirit among the students of M. H. S. during football season. Anyhow, they surely whooped it up. Our maestro of the band, Mr. Morrison, has certainly developed our band. The members of the band made a trip to Johnstown during the first semester to hear a concert given by the Marine Band. With the new Sousaphone, our tooters will provide the U. S. Marine Band with some stiff competition. Of course the County Music Festival in Somerset will be a gala event, and several members of the band will be chosen to play in the All-County Band. The band and the student body say, Thanks a million, to the Parent Teachers Association and the high school faculty, who donated to the uniform fund. MEYERSDALE, YOU LET US DOWN No, no! What we need is more precision! How many times have the mem- bers of the orchestra heard these words? Often enough to dread them, I know, for when Mr. Pfrogner says these words, it means going over and over that hard spot in the music until perfection is attained. We should be justly proud of our orchestra for not only is it the largest and best orchestra that Meyersdale High has ever had, but it also played host to the All- Western High School Orchestra, one of the musical groups sponsored yearly by the Pennsylvania School Music Association. The best players from the individual high schools send in applications and if they are accepted, come to All-Western Orchestra, or the orchestra sponsored by their district branch of the P. S. M. A. These voung musicians practice for three days under experienced conductors and give two or three concerts. The object of these music festivals is to give the high school musicians experience playing difficult music under experienced conductors. A certain select group from each of these district festivals is chosen to be in the All-State Orchestra. Choral and Band festivals are held annually. This year fourteen members of the high school orchestra participated in All- Western and-well, just ask them what kind of a time they had, especially Georgia Keim and Leon Meyersg or you might even ask Kenneth Critchfield about the stink bombs. We do feel that the town-people let us down by not attending the con- certs of this fine musical group any better than they did. The type of music played was no kid stuff. Not only did the non-attenders miss a real musical treat, but a half-filled auditorium, when it is a small one like ours, leaves a bad impression on our guests. We hope that you townspeople won't leave us in the lui-ch again. -35- MATHEMATICS The square root of x is equal to the. .the sides of an isoscles triangle are. .four bushels of wheat at. . and so it goes in the various classrooms of the high school. You guessed it! It's the followers of Euclid and other mathematicians at work under the patient supervision of Mr. Snyder, our globe- trotter. In fact some of these students are so in- terested in mathematics that they have formed a Math Club. Only the outstanding math students belong to this organization and the aim of the club is to broaden their interest in mathematics. The said club members don't often meet but when they do they return with the most profound expres- sions on their mathematically proportioned for isn't that possible?j faces. Gee--it must be great to be mathematically minded! SAFETY PATROL Stop! All right, go ahead. How often we have heard these words from those boys displaying their shiny badges and white belts. Let's investi- gate some of the people and activities of this or- ganization. The Safety Patrol is a nation wide hook up. Every year boys from all over our vast country go to the Annual Safety Patrol Jamboree at Washing- ton, D. C. Here the boys are repaid for their work throughout the year bv having the high time of their lives. They have a big dress parade through the main streets of Washington. Guides show them through the Capitol, Senate, House, and Su- preme Court Buildings. When they come home they can really tell you what makes our govern- ment tick. Safety Patrols composed of girls also attend this Jamboree. President, Ray Casteel, will tell you that there are some sweet ones from South Carolina with the you all accent and everything. Oh, to be a Safety Patrolman! Do you know who the faculty advisor of our Safety Patrol is? Right you are. It is none other than Mr. Stuempfle. The safety first boys chose as their officers Ray Casteel, president, Charles Landis, vice-president, Tom Shipley, secretary- treasurer. Ray Casteel is the Senior Captain of the squad while 'I' om Shipley and Clarence Smith are Captains. CHEERLEADERS The locomotive-and yell M e y e r s d a l e M e y e r s d a 1 e M e y e r s d a l e Meyersdale The most famous quotation from the lives of that brilliant but noisy septet-the cheerleaders. They certainly deserve three cheers and a slap on the back for the swell work done by them this year. Business was slow at the beginning of football season, but by the time the Somerset game arrived they were working on shifts. Basketball, likewise, started by needing only two cheerleaders-but the tempo increased till all seven were holding down steady jobs. By the way, if you'll notice, that famous fight-but Hx-it-up-quick couple even use cheerleading as a cause for the fireworks at times. Then there is Georgia, who is probably still feeling the effects of her strenuous dancing lessons during All-Western Orchestra. Betty Carouse represents the rug-cutters from the Dipp. Eleanor can demonstrate her personality and wit any time of the day fthe night too, for all we knowj. Helen while an excellent cheerleader, di- vides her attention between her job and a certain definite section of the team fyou guess which gets the larger half.j And last, but most assuredly not least, is the captain, Bert. Here is one place where he puts to good use his excess wind. But, all in all, they're not such a bad sort--that is, if you like that kind-and we do! -361 LIBRARIANS Who is it that can dust, lind the correct refer- ence books, put them back in place and find them again? To whom do bewildered students turn for advice on how to find illusive material to make various reports? Why to the librarians! Theirs is the job of aiding all who came to the library for help. They enjoy their position and love to make everyone keep still. That is, they get everyone quiet except the lovely freshman and mighty sen- iors and a few in-betweens who don't seem to understand English. These librarians are not per- fect themselves for they are often accused of taking books belonging to all classes out of the library at any time they please. But when a meek freshman asks for a senior book or a sage senior asks for a freshman book they are greeted with NO! in capi- tal letters. Still, if it weren't for the librarians, the whole high schoolj well, almost the whole high schoolj would be at a loss as to where to find ref- erence material. For the librarians really know their business, and, on the whole, they have done a good job of keeping that meetin'-place-during- school-hours in order. n-.-.-q--- Mathematical members of Math Club- oliicers.

Don't tell anybody, but this was really written by a sob sister. fAnonymousj You'd sob, too, if you had lost a crack at the coun- ty championship simply by a bound of the ball from the 13 to 53 yard line. With a patched up team, the Red Raiders did a good job of it. M. H. S.-14 .... Confluence-0 .... And hence we have the latest style in football pants! ! You should have our team streak down the field in the snazzy new football pants. Red, and silk, too! M. H. S.-15 .... Huntingdon-21 .... It was a hard fight, mom. We didn't win it! The Hun- tingdon eleven out-fought our team in every quarter. The first touchdown was scored by Stafford. In the last quarter Beal intercepted a pass for the final touchdown. M. H. S.-0 .... Boswell-0 .... Achoo! Achoo! No, we don't have colds, it's the dust. Playing at the Dust Bowl at Boswell, M. H. S. held the favored Boswell to a 0-0 deadlock for the third consecutive year. fAhem!j The gang started by intercepting passes on the goal line and running them back to the infield. M. H. S.-6 .... West Newton-0 .... You Try Somebody Newi' fthey didj. This was the first game with West Newton, and what's more, they want to play again next year. M. H. S. met its equal but showed up well in the tight pinches. M. H. S.-6 .... Fort Hill-28 .... Ah! Revenge is sweet! and Fort Hill got its revenge for the 13-0 set-back last year. Heavy snowfall made it almost impossible to play under the lights. Of course, in all these games, Chin Bowman did his darndest along the line of trying to reason with the referee. M. H. S.--12 .... Somerset-6 .... The band blew, pivoted, and wheeled. Spectators booed, cheered, hissed, and cheered. Some of them even kissed, fdidn't they Park?j We had to win this game and did by gummy! With the nifty job of blocking done by Miller, we couldn't have lost. Again I say- It still takes eleven men to make a team. QAsk Coach Abele-even the waterboys are a necessity., -53- CAGERS DISPLAY ACTION Coach, Paul Abele Manager, Bob Hartle A Few Games Were These: M. H.

Having bequeathed all that we possess, have possessed, and ever expect to possess, we hereby ap- point Kenneth Lohr, Raymond Higgs, Marcia Black as executors of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seals this first day of May A.D., 1940. Si gned: SENIOR CLASS Signed, sealed, smeared, published, and declared by the Senior class, as and for, their last will and testament, in the presence of us, who, at their request, and in their presence of each other, have here- unto subscribed our names as attesting witnesses to said instrument. Signed: KENNETH LOHR RAYMOND HIGGS MARCIA BLACK ..42.... Sophomores There are some Sophomores who are bright, And others who are dumb. But they're an awful sight to see When they are chewing gum. Some chew as if they had no teeth, And others make it crack, While others stick it on the seats To stick on someone's back. Oh! What a life those Sophomores have, They sit and dream all day. And when the teacher asks them things They don't know what to say. -Florence Leif '42 Class of 1940 We started out with great ambition A Conquest, ours to make. Service to mankind we would render, This spirit we would not forsake. Our morals did not shatter With the toil of endless days. In knowledge we grew stronger, And now we know it pays. We have found contentment In the paths that we have tread. With the help of God and our high school We'll now strive on ahead. These past three years have only been A foundation we have made. As an architect draws his blueprints Our future plans are made. This year w0n't tell what we may be, For no one really knows. The old routine of working hard May be in vain, who knows? -Georgia Keim '40 Seniors of Today I like seniors They run about Doing their lessons With their tongues out. They feel important They dance on their toes, The boys do their lessons While the girls powder their nose. They lose their books, They find them again Seniors are queer creatures, I am one of them. -Frank Mosgruves '40 Transition Happy has been our senior year, Though we did contend with strifeg But the end of such happiness is near An we'll enter into a broaden ami fuller life. But school days are the carefree days When one's thoughts roam far and wide, And the center of our work and play Is school where we work side by side. But soon we will leave this citadel And come face to face with reality, Then to choose one's life work well Requires your best in mentality. Oh, to see our class in the coming years A decade from now, let's say, When we have encountered and conquered many fears And our hopes and aspirations begin to fray. So let's keep our morals and ideals high And on the straight and narrow path remain, Your aims are bounded only by the sky Peace and happiness be your refrain. -Eloise En glehart '40 -43- IN NAME ONLY School days, school days Dear old golden-rule days, Readin' and writin' and 'rithmetic Taught to the tune of the hickory stick- We younger sprouts in the Meyersdale brain factory Qas Bill james calls itj feel it our bound'n duty to give voice to our common wish-we want to belong, We are the little junior highs. We breathe the same air as the M. H. S. We are interested in the same things. We have some of the same teachers. We use the same rooms- but, we are still just the seventh and eighth graders. We believe that we could be a real junior high school of seventh, eighth, and ninth grades-an addition to the senior high school of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Other nearby schools have reached this goal and are enjoying its advantages. Besides mathematics, social studies, science, and English fall of which we now havej we should be able to enjoy home economics, shop work, art, and physical education. We feel as Lincoln did one time-that the time for debate is past. We want to really belong. We want to be an actual Meyersdale junior High School. This year our Gray-Y Club was under the direction of two seniors, Dorothea Hilner and Eloise Englehart, and two juniors, Elaine Speicher, and Betty Floto. We are a junior branch of the Alpha and Beta Tri-Hi-Y Clubs, and our aims are similar to theirs-- Self Improvement, Christian Fellowship, and United Service. Our officers are: President-Sally Slicer, Vice-President-Helen Hibner, Secretary-Elva Hare, Treasurer-Virginia Stuver, Chaplain-Barbara Pfrogner. A junior high school basketball team was organized under the direction of Coach Abele. The boys had plenty of fun and exercise. Too bad the girls didn't get their team organized. Better luck next year! -44..

Helen QMarguerite Spencej the self-sacrificing older sister manages an antique shop to give her sister Marjorie fRita Dahlj and her brother Ronnie fHarvey Bowserj the comforts and luxuries they so little deserve. Spoiled, selfish brats, they are, says Aunt Lena QGeorgia Keimj a maiden aunt who enjoys ill-health in a big way. Aunt Grace QLorene Fikej, her shadow and Lena-appointed nurse echoes Lena's thoughts and ideas. Suave, sophisticated son of the rich, Buzzie fKenneth Lohrj, dances attendance to Marjorie and wants to marry the gal, even though she claims she's only marrying him for his money. Nice girl, isn't she? To complicate matters, we have a bride and groom-no other than Mattie Uiloise Englehartj Helen's best UQ friend, and Frank QRaymond Higgsj Helen's ex-boy friend. Frank, who got tired waiting for Helen is still waiting for her to pay her fire insurance which had recently expired. fSmells like troublelj The unknown quantity is Philip Wheatley Uack Butlerj a New York decorator who has interests- in both sisters. If you didn't attend, ask the sisters-who got Philip? The play, It's a Long Lane, by John Hershey, a Samuel French production, was presented by the senior class in April. It was directed by Mrs. Elizabeth G. Witt with the assistance of Miss Mary Ryland. fAs our annual goes to press, other plans have not been madej. fConcluded from Page 221 he just can't speech , . .Joe Brown blushing like a red, red rose. . .Lucille Weimer winning a girl's athletic award ....
