Mechtly CLASS HISTORY The 19UU school year began with a large group of greenies , namely, freshmen, entering into a new life—one which we had been long awaiting, and now, here we were! This year we devoted to making new friends and acquainting ourselves with the new scholastic work at N.O H.S. We were becoming accustomed to a world at war; thus, there was a limit to our school activities. The class selected at their class colors light green and white and the class flower chosen was the talisman rose. Several members joined band and choruses with many others interested in participating in snorts activities. The 19L5 sophomore year began with high ambitions on the part of all students. This was our second year at N.O.H.S. and we planned to make the' most of it. Members of our class participated ih the first forensic contest held since the war. Many members joined the staff of the Silhouette, our school paper. The junior year was upon us before we realized it and we were determined to make the most of this year in scholastic work and extracurricular activi- ties. This was the second year our members experienced a forensic contest. The most important event of the year proved to be the annual farewell party given by the junior class for the seniors. It was really a gala occasion which will live in our memories for year to come. At last, the senior year did arrive and in the distance we could almost see that goal to which we had looked forward from the beginning of our high school career. Without a doubt this was our most important and busiest year. A refreshment concession was set up this year with the seniors in charge. Each noon hour the student body was able to purchase candy, ice-cream, and potato chips at our little store . The senior play, Lady-Spitfire . di- rected by Miss Taylor, displayed the dramatic and executive ability or the 9enior class members. The seniors were also well represented later in the year in the operetta, Shreds and Patches , directed by Mrs. Cook. The year- book, MEMENTO, was one more project to keep our school days well occupied. Our Commenpement season begins on May 23 with a Baccalaureate Service to be held at the New Oxford Reformed Church with the Rev. Archie Rohrbaugh, pastor, delivering the sermon. Graduation Exercises are scheduled for Tuesday, May 2$ in the school auditorium with the Rev. H. E. Sheely of Hanover, presenting the address. We wish to mention the names of persons who at some time were members of our class. They are: Don Bittinger, Virginia Fissel, Jean Glass, Catherine Horn, Ada Laughman, Mae Reichert, Raymond Riddle, Jr., Johathan Sipling, Wilma Snyder, Earl Swope, Virginia Wiles, and Lois Wolf. We regret that they could not share all of these years with us, years which will be cherished by every senior in his or her own way; years in which friendships have been made and molded to last through a lifetime. So in parting from you, faculty members and underclassmen, may we say ;adieu and we wouldn’t have missed these past four years in N.O.H.S. for any- thing. They have been four grand years, crowded with happy recollections for all of us. A toast to our alma mater! Long may she live!

Our hoDes are high, our prosoects—fair, But we’ll succeed, we’ll take a dare! The highest of the class is KAS , And she’s a most good-natured lass. At office work, JEAN MILLER’S fine, As someone’s secretary she will shine. TRAVIS can be thankful that he is tall, Because that sure helns in basketball! WILBUR’S the studious one in our class, He’s never had a subject he didn’t rass. DON” D. has kept the class alive Ever since the year of 2 5! NORMAN is a lovable, good-looking chap, The girls all crave to sit on his lap. WENTZIE is a little short, But still he is the very best sport. PUNCHIE is the smallest of all, Yet he is always on the ball”. JEANIE’S singing will bring good cheer To all who need it, or care to hear. MARY and NANCY, who are very quiet lasses, Are seen together in and out of classes. To cheer the boys at games each night Has been LOUISE MYERS greatest delight. BILL always knows his shorthand well But will he be a grocer? We cannot tell. PEG is known quite well by all For the noise she makes in study hall. GEORGE will certainly be a huge success. At what? Well, brother, that’s anyone’s guess! SMITTY’S work is .lust begun, For in basketball, fame she’s already won. CONNIE’S rattletrap is seen everywhere, And him without it is uncommonly rare. RYNO, on the basketball floor, Heins our team roll up the score. EUGENE, who likes his shop quite well, Might be an inventor, who can tell? GLORIA POTTER is seen every day Pedaling her bike down Lincolnway. ISH is a quiet bashful guy, But on the baseball diamond he sure is spry! ROLAND, who has a slick little curl. Is always seen with a different girl. CORDELL , who gives us plenty of laughs, Is liked by teachers and all the class. SPONNIE'S ambition is to be An aviator, that’s plain to see. EDITH and DOREENE-in Home Ec. shine, Housekeeping's sure to be their line. Now, LOIS SHEELY'S a girl for you, She can mend a sock or cook a stew. And BETTY WITMER is good at pies, Or writing letters, or making eyes MARY CRABBS really doesn’t crab at all, She 8 a pleasant gal for whom folks fall. LORETTA BAKER is the class's clown, She's also funny in Abbottstown. EVAN BUTLER will someday be A famous disc .lockey, just wait and see GLENN HOOVER'S a boy who is small in size When caught in a trick, he only looks wise'. In piano playing, BETTY takes the lead, On any keyboard we know she'll succeed. Our saxaphone player is known as JANE , Another as good would be hard to name. In fond remembrance and sad adieu, We say Goodby to all of you And hope we've established in foregoing lines Some memories of us and of our good times. CLASS PROPHECY Buzz-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-zI Buzz-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z: Well, Ifm coming! Buzz-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z! Oh, wait a minute...hello, WHO?? Mary Crabbs! Are- a-a- what a- where- (silence)--why, of course I'm home, all right, vou come straight here! Okey, good-by. Several minutes later— Knock, Kn— MARY! LOUISE! Naturally, they both talk at once, embrace each other, ask questions, and —well, just the usual things women do when they first meet after 35 years! Seems Louise has found that Mary has Just completed another triD around the world and Mary has already met Lduise's eight off-spring......let's eaves- drop, wanta'? Do you ever see any of the old gang, Louise? You know, I'm totally unin- formed about them all. Oh yes, you see Janet Kime, as you remember her name, lives on the farm next here; our children play together most of the time, then there is BStfcy Witmer; of course you know, both 3he and Janet were married right after they were graduated from N.O.H.S., and Betty has seven sweet children. You know, Louise, all the years Don Diehl arid Jack Harner were stars of their professional basketball teams, I followed their travels and victories in the papers. They even made headlines in foreign countries. Ish Harman also was in the limelight so long as he played baseball with the Yankees. I know, Mary, they were all tops! How about Wilbur Hildebrandc too— one of the most wealthy and successful men in the world. Louise, why don't you get your MEMENTO, then we can really reminisce? Swell idea, I'll get it; we'll be sure not to miss anyone this way. Oh, no one was surprised when Nancy Harner married that underclassman at school and they built a house right next to Mary Adams and her husband's. They have been together ever since. Louise, I'm sure that everyone who ever heard Jeanne Altland sing, knew she'd be the successful singer she is, and Norman's fame as a tenor was not unexpected either. That's right Mary; say, did I tell you, Edith Kinneman still designs all the dresses for the first ladies of the land, and I've heard that the presi- dent's wife won't ever let anyone style her hair except Doreene Clark! My,it must be wonderful to have such positions—but what about Peg Alwine and Loretta Baker? Well, Mary, Peg was a great hit as an actress and—oh yes, you know, of course, of Don Ventz'8 success in the movies! Lorrie Baker!—I doubt if there is a person who has never laughed at some of her Jokes. Shefs had her own radio program for a long time now. Gee, they must all be very happy. By the way, did Lois Sheely ever be- come a beautician as she hoped, Louise? Yes, and a very good one—I send all my boys to Paul Sponseller to have their hair cut, too. I see a lot of our old classmates almost every day. I buy all my groceries at Bill Hoffacker's market and, naturally, I see Roland Clousher occasionally; he's still head of the Commercial Department at N.O.H.SL and Kas Wolfgang took over the Home Ec. room years ago, too. Mary, have you ever seen Melvin Wentz's newspaper, 'THE STAR'? I'll bet he's often reminded of the 'SILHOUETTE' and how he used to mimeograph. Louise,I saw a sign a few miles from here about Miller's scientific farm- ing—could that be Ryno Miller? Oh yes, he's made so many wonderful discoveries—and Conway is very busy at his garage, as is Evan Butler in his super restaurant. Man, can he cook! Louise, did I tell you. I heard one of Betty Gable's concerts while I was in Paris? She actually had the audience speechless! J new was «till pn tour; I haven't heard her play for qyite awhile What about Gloria Potter, is she living near here? Oh no. her own jJl Mary, she's been living in Texas on a ranch for years, but she has ane and flies back to see us every now and then. On my way here,I rassed both George Smeltz's and Dean Hull's service sta- tions, quite nice aren't they? They certainly are Mary, and did you see Jean Miller's self-designed ultra-modern house? Yes I did, it s by far the loveliest I've ever seen -- but, Louise, you can't forget to tell me about the last two members of our old class— those all-time atheletes, Anna Roche and Eugene Mechtly! Why Mary, I thought you knew about them, they were so famous several years ago—walked away with all kinds of awards. 8 ?lan=?8 a ?ar w?tch � «t.rtl.d look cross., her fac, and she says, My. how time flies, I was so engrossed in thoughts about our Class I TX:1 0r50t CatCh 5 train ln half an hour Weli bye Luiie! f'm UP t0 ° 8T8r °n W • er8at Class w.r.n't LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We. the members of the Class of 1946, being of sound mind and body, do ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last WILL AND TESTAMENT.

Kratsert LADY SPITFIRE On December 11 and 12, the senior class presented Lady Spitfire , a three-act comedy by Katharine Kavanaugh, under the direction of Miss D. Miriam Taylor. The setting of the play.is the reception room of the Rutherford School for Girls. The plot revolves around the title role and her deceptions and the difficulties which arise when she tries to appropriate a rattletrap car belonging to two young tramp fence painters in order to keep a date with her fiance. A logical solution to the complications that arise climaxes the plot and both the characters and the audience find themselves delighted at the surprise ending. Music between acts included three vocal solos: The Hills of Home , Fox, by Norman Haar; Bless This House , Broke, by Jean Altland; and Old Man River , Kern, by George Smeltz; and a piano solo, Clair de Lune , Debussy, by Betty Gable. SHREDS and PATCHES an operetta from Gilbert and Sullivan, directed by Mrs. Vesta S. Cook, was presented in the school auditorium on March 1$ and 16 by the chorus groups and band members of New Oxford High School. Approximately 100 students participated in the production, which was well received by two appreciative audiences. The chief purpose of the plot of Shreds and Patches is to bind together a number of delightful Gilbert and Sullivan songs. The two acts portray the rehearsals of an opera company in financial straits, about to rut on a new show. A wealthy man, whose niece hopes to star in the opera, offers to finance the company if the director will promise to rut on a bad performance. In a clever turn of events, an old love affair changes the wishes of the financier and everything ends hardly. Due to the illness of Joan Smeltz, John Wolford, Class of 19 7, presided at the piano. Three specialty numbers, directed by Miss Anna D. Hoyer, were presented between acts; Ballet Waltz , Betty Snyder; Me and my Shadow , Joyce Snyder and Sandra Clark; and Bowery Girl , Gwendolyn Freed.
