High New» We Seniors Oh the Seniors have a happy class; Twenty in number counting lad and lass. We are all so jolly, bright and free, But dignified, yes, when needs must be. F rst comes Emma the cutest of all Ever willing to come to a call. Next in line is Vauda, trim and demure, Always on hand, determined and sure. Mary is the one who’s willing to “cut” And when she hears ‘Physics” she only says “tut,” But, nevertheless, she’s always about When the baseball boys go out for a “rout.” Mildred comes next;studious and grave. She is good and always behaves. Right behind sits Lillie, who works so much We tear she’ll be sick or else be“Dutch,” Bertha we know can always be found When there’s a ball or bat to hurl ’round. And there is Vada looking so sweet;, She wouldn’t be naughty even for a treat. Helen and Amy in fair or foul weather,- No matter when - they’re always together. Among all the boys, Milo's the “man” Who sells our pencils, our candy; anything he can. Next in line is Joseph, whose back is almost bent From enduring the trials of President. Richard or “Diclt” sometimes “windy” too Without his “ads” for “High News” what would we do? Lee certain and sure, we all can say Will be a parson some future day. And Charlie, it seems can never agree ’ But, nevertheless, he’s sure full of glee. Donald is straight and tall and wise He hears with his ears and sees with his eyes. John is a boy who works hard enough. But, when it comes to notebooks, he th nks it s “tough. ’’ Arthur, we know, if nothing is missin’ We Wonder What the Seniors will do after they leave school. Why Mr. Hartle insists upon the Seniors being at school the last ten days. If Joe could translate his French with out the help of the girls, If Mr. Chandlee would rather ride in a Ford than in a Lincoln. If Olive will tell us who gave her the new ring. 'T j If Donald will ever be able to part his ha r on the side. What will ever happen to Charles and Margaret. If Mary Ruths will ever figure in the “Hall of Fame.” Why Murrel doesn’t go on the stage. What kind of farmer Mr. Chandlee wojid make. Who invented 9:00 A. M. classes. Why students interline their Latin Texts. If Vada and Bertha will have many S. H. S. patients. If the Juniors will ever be able to live up to the name “Dignified Seniors” M iss Darner ever forgets to water her flower. If Mr. Hartle will let the Seniors out next year like he did those this year. When M ■ss Darner will introduce her husband to us. Will truly be a great musician. There’s only one left and that is Murrel It wouldn’t seem true if his hair didn’t curl. And now we the Seniors one and all Leave S. H. S. determined never to fall, But always to fight; yes fight to win Out in this world of strife and din. Olive Toms (another member of the class)

We are going to be perfectly frank in saying that there were times when our own ability was doubtful - when our own ideas were far too unwise - and dur ng these times we discovered one, who was ever able and willing to gu;de us i-nd in- spire us on. One who would gladly have inconvienced herself for Our paper and for Our school. Her sound judgment and kind advise have helped us over many edit- ions which otherwise could easily have been a failure. And if there could be lound a better way in expressing our Grat tude, we would gladly do it, for we are sure n believ- ing that even the highest words of praise are not enough for one who has saved us from failing in the work we set out to acc- omplish. Only we, who have worked side by side with Mrs. Goodell know her sterling qualities and her ability to guide a class sare- ly over rough places. So we could not see the last issue of our paper go out without a written word of appreciation for her. We can say that if S. H. S, could have with them next year the same friend, we know that “High News would always be a success. So here’s to Mrs. Goodell, our kind- est helper and our dearest friend. Mr. Hartle' “Vauda. what is a speak- ing tube?’ ’ V auda - It’s a tube you speak through.”

High News The Senior's Farewell Now that we, the Class of ’25, must say farewell to our school and to our worthy faculty, we wish to express in the most sincere way our gratitude to those tea- chers who have so wisely and so untiringly guided our paths these last four years. And now as each one of us are about to leave our school and our community, to take up our duties in various fields, we s n- cerely hope to be a credit to old S. H S. and Smithsburg. Let us keep in mind th s little poem: To every man there ope.ieth A way, and ways and a way, And the high soul climbs the high way And the low soul gropes the low; And in between on the misty flats I he rest drift to and fro; But to every man there openeth A high way and a low. And every man decideth Which way his soul shall go. Let us then keep climb.ng to tve bgh way. We, the Stniors are “Not on the Heights but climbing.” Best Method If you’ll read this Fttle poem, there’s no doubt that you will find That High School work is not so tough as to really hurt your mind. For if at bluffing you are good and teachers you can fool, Four years of ease and pleasure may come your way at school Suppose the teacher gives a test; now, here the thing to do, I ake pains to have the smartest one sit right n front of you; Keep looking on her paper, copy everything she’s got You'll get as good a grade as she, providing you’re not caught. And should your English teacher make you hand in book reports, Appreciation of our Parents As we Seniors are about to complete our High School career, let us stop for a moment to give a word of thanks and app- reciation to our Mothers and Fathers. At times, during the past years, they have suffered and maybe have had heartaches because of us. 1 hey have sacrificed n order to make our lives more pleasant. We never can pay in full the debt we owe them. But then we can give them what they would like more than anything; that is love and respect. In tl s age of hurry I wonder if we show them the little courtesies and do the Fttle kind things that will bring ioy to their he rts This s one way to be happy ourselves for the time is comparatively short that we have our parents with us. 7 hen, after they are gone, wr need not have regrets for the Fttle hurts which we have caused those who love us. Macaulev was one wFo apprec'ated the true love of his mother. He gives to the world the following lines of gratitude: “In after life you may have frerds, fend, dear friends; but never will you have again the inexpressible love and gentleness lavished upon you which none but a Mother bestows. ’’ Let us then, as young people, realize the truth of the words spoken of a Mother -and we shall add- a Father. Be kind and thankful of your parents now'. You needn’t ever read a book, if some of your friends are spons, Just copy what they’ve written; now can't you see? They’re liable to a C for it, and you might get A or B- Now,friends, I’ve tryed to show you in a simple sort of way, Of the many schemes to follow, but, in truth, it dose not pay. Of all the methods that I know, there is one I’d recomend It is “Dig and Work” and “Study,” it’s the best one in the end.
