Vol. || No. 9 HIGH NEWS _Smilhsburg, Md. June 1926 SENIOR FAREWELL Tne time has arrived in the history ol the Class of Twenty-Six when we must leave the protecting wings of our Alma Mater and face life and the world alone. Commencement time has come a season of rejoicing and gladness for some, but for us one of sadness at the approach of the last days of our High School Careers. We feel that we are leaving more than a school. We are bidding farewell to our school-mates and chums j some never to meet again. It is, however, an occasion which should mark the happiest moments of our lives, in that we will have received our coveted reward for four years of labor and patient study. We appreciate our precious diplomas as only graduates can, for they mean so much to our ma- terial welfare in the coming struggle for our attainment of success. To our learned faculty, alone, we give the credit for this successfuli com- pletion of our second step in our schol- astic career. They have rendered price- less service to us and to our institution, in laying the foundations for the pres- ent rise in school spirit and scholastic rating. We cannot express our gratifi- cations in the language of the pen, but °ur hearts hold for them a most grate- ful and worthy repute. The Class of Twenty-Six at this time begs the honor to express its most sincere appreciation to our loyal and worthy faculty. In bidding you one and all farewell we depart with the feeling that our hap- piest and most pleasant days were spent at Smithsburg High School among our school-mates and our loyal professors. W. E.

Many people in Smithsburg will tv nder if we have advanced any during the year of 1925-26. If we stop to think what changes have been made in our school this year we must acknowl- edge that we have made great progress. In the first place, two new and highly beneficial courses have been add- ed to our curriculum. They are Agri- culture and Biology, a knowledge of which is important and necessary to ev- ery boy and girl. Along this line should also be men- tioned the progress we have made in music under the tutelage of Miss Lana Chaney. A knowledge and appreciation of music should be a part of everyone’s education and the students of S. H. S. find Miss Chaney’s music classes most enjoyable. Our knowledge of English has been greatly developed by the weekly literary programs. These have also given us practice in public speak- ing, an important factor in life. But along with our progress in our rtudies we have been busy in other fields. We have organized a basket- ball team, and although this was new to most of us, we worked hard at it with the result that we have a fairly profi- cient team. In the interest of the health of our students the Juniors opened a Cafeteria in the basement, where every Thursday hot lunches could be procured at a nom- inal cost. Besides this benefit to our health this has proved to be a profitable enterprise. We have fully covered the expenses of our Athletic Association and have purchased new equipment through our efforts in selling pins and magazines Last, but not least, we have estab- lished a Student Council which has proven of great benefit to the discipline of our school and has shown our posses- sion of a progressive High School spirit. In consideration of these things as a whole, we conclude that the year 1925- 26 has been the most successful and the most progressive in the life of our High even better and greater years to come. School, and moreover paves the way for Louise Bachtell ’27. Getting a Kick A farmer, who was always com- plaining about everything, was showing the result of fine growing weather and super skill in cultivating when his visi- tor said to him: “Well, you ought to be satisfied with such crops as these. There is certainly nothing lacking. You have nothing to kick about this year.” The old farmer stood in a medita- tive mood for a moment, then replied: “Well, you know such crops as these is pretty hard on the soil.” HIGH NEWS Page 3 OUR FIRST YEAR OF AGRICULTURE While our first year of Agriculture probably has not been what all of us expected, yet some of our achievements iie deseiving of passing mention, un- important as they may seem to be. Beginning the year with practically none of the equipment and apparatus authorized by the State Department of Vocational Education we are ending the school year with an Agricultural De- partment of which we have a right to feel proud. Through the hearty coop- eration of our Principal, our County Superintendent, and our State Director, we now have an agricultural roon, couipment and tools which compare fa- vorably with those of our ounty neigh- bors. However, a great deal of improve- ment remains to be done before we a e able to render the service and coopera- tion to our school and community as will be accomplished in the future. Agriculture involves the study of :-.o many farm plants, animals, practices, and principles on management that we do not attempt to study them all in one year. Accordingly, the present year has been designated as plant year dur- mg wh'ch time we have studied our im- portant farm crops, soils, fertilizers, etc., and various allied subjects. Begin- ning in September a similar procedure will be started in connection with the tudy of farm live-stock. A brief summary of the outstand- ing activities of our Agricultural De- partment during the year will follow. An Agricultural Society was organ- ized for the purpose of the promotion o our Agricultural interests in our school and community; to provide each Agri- cultural student with membership in some organization of recognized stand- ing; and to encourage the literary train- ing of its members through regular lo- cal school programs as w ell as partici- pation in public meetings. Washington County was represent- ed in the State Corn Judging Contest by Arthur Martin and Joseph Gardenhour. Our entry ranked among the best in team scoring and Arthur Martin was rewarded for being one of the highest individual scorers in the contest. A few weeks later Samuel Winters placed third in the County Corn Judging Contest representing eight county towms. Smithsburg had the largest community exhibit at the Hagerstowm Show and practically tied Hagerstown for the Sweepstakes prize. The Smithsburg Corn Show at- tracted much attention and favorable comment and promises to be an annual affair. With the cooperation of our County Agent and State Extension Service, a Short Course w'as conducted for farmers by Prof. J. E. Metzger of the University of Maryland Agronomy Department. Al- though the adult attendance w’as small a great deal of interest w'as manifested by those in attendance and a similar course is practically assured for next year. On March 25, the Agriculture So- ciety presented an appropriate program at a public meeting of our local Grange. During the following week, a capacity crowed attended a lecture and moving picture at the High School building con- cerning the pruning, spraying, cultiva- tion and fertilization of fruit trees. A large number of seed corn and soil samples were tested for farmers in order to determine the-percentage ger- mination of corn and the lime require- ment of this soil. Next year we hope more farmers will take advantage of fhis community service w’hich is per- formed accurately and without compen- sation. The Agriculture Society success- fully staged a Minstrel in Smithsburg and Leitersburg for the purpose of fin- ancing the High School treasury and that of their own organization to be used for Agricultural purposes. During the summer each boy is ex- nected to care for and keep accounts 'md records on some recognized plant project. The selection and organization each project is supervised by the Agriculture teacher who will visit each b-'y at regular intervals throughout the summer months. The project provides Concluded on pajje 4 Pa;e 4 HIGH NEWS OUR FIRST YEAR OF AGRICULTURE F Oil� ; each boy with an excellent opportunity to practice and apply a great deal of in- formation derived from the class-room. Any student who fails to complete his project successfully on account of carelessness, neglect or indifference will be obliged to withdraw from the Agriculture Course at the beginning of the new school year. The Agriculture teacher desires t acknowledge and express sincere appre- ciation to the Faculty, Students and Community for their cooperation, sup- out the past school year. Patrons of Smithsburg High SchodI and port and pleasant associations through- The Nannies That Sing in the Spring, Tra-la A young Canadian was making a call upon a very pretty young Minneap- olis girl whom he had met for the first time. “Do you have rein-deer in Can- ada?” she asked. “No, darling,” he an- swered, “at this season it always snows.” Mr. C handlee—“Allan, will you name the presidents in order?” Allan—“I can't do it.” Mr. Chandlee (astonished)—“Well, when 1 was your age i could name them.” Allan—“Yes. but there were only five or six, then.” Father—“What did you do with that last ten dollars I gave you?” Emory—“I bought a dollar’s worth of oranges and apples and spent the rest on dates.” Inexhaustible Supply Mr. Remsburg—“What is it that keeps you from doing work, Joe?” “Well,” declared Joe. “there’s ten commandments and about twenty amendments.” A nickel is not as good as a dime but it goes to church oftener.

THE CLASS OF ’26 The time for school will soon be past When the Seniors must leave forever. It might be well to speak for them Just a word, neither witty nor clever. The class roll bears just honorable names, The names of girls and boys Who’ve studied hard (yet not in vain) To reap life’s rarest joys. The leading student is Jim himself A star from over the hill, But Margaret B. is quite his match In knowledge, mind and will. There’s “Possum” Beard and Richard Welty, A pair that’s hard to beat, To annoy others they find delight, In tests they love to cheat. The magazines are always read Bv Ruth and Mildred Shank, They l™-e to read the funny stories Like “The Man who owns a Bank.” But Marguerite and Carrie And Florence and Edna B. Are girls who like to come to school As any one can see. The fishing trips along the creek Are soort for many a boy, As “Shiek” and “Frog” and “Buck” The baby fish destroy. Elizabeth and Pauline H. Are fine on saving time, Thev come to school at quarter of And often wait ’til nine. Emory Happel holds his own As president of the class, But D. B. J. has broken his arm And holds it in a cast. Katherine L. and Mary Weller And Lauretta T. indeed Are stars in playing volley-ball The kind the teams most need. Johnnv Martin has a Ford And Merhl Harne has one too, They say they never ride to school And that’s just what they do. There’s Robert Weddle and Alvey K. Good sports they are indeed In everv game whate’er it be “Play Fair” that is their creed. The only boy that loves his “Trig” Is noisy Pound without a doubt Page 6 HIGH NEWS SENIOR CLASS CALENDAR Sept. 8—Found 30 bright faces occupy- ing the Senior Class Room.

Love of country is a sentiment common to all people and ages; but no land has ever been dearer to its people than our own America. No nation has a history more inspiring, no country has institutions more deserving of patriotic love. Turning the pages of our nation’s history, the young citizen sees Colum- bus, serene in the faith of his dream; the Mayflower, bearing the lofty soul of the Puritan ; Washington girdling on his holy sword; Lincoln, striking the shack- les from the helpless slave; and our Con- stitution organizing the country. This is the history for which our flag stands; and when the young citizen salutes the flag, he should think of the great Ideals which it represents. The flag stands for democracy, for liberty under the law; it stands for heroic cour- age and self-reliance, for self-sacrifice, for equality of opportunity and the cause of humanity: it stands for free public education and for peace among all nations. When you salute the flag, you should resolve that your own life will be dedicated to these Ideals. You should remember that he is the truest American patriot who understands the Marie (shopping at Letters — “ Beg pardon, sir, but are you a floor walker?” Man Shopper—“Where else would I walk?

HIGH NEWS Page 9 EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER OF A MEMBER OF THE CLASS OF ’25 Philadelphia, Pa., April 19, 1926. Dear Mr. Wolfinger: ......I am getting along as well as can be expected for a local dumbbell. So far I lead the class in Materia Medica by a good big margin. The other ones I pass. My special bugbear is Chemis- try, taught by C. B. F., A. M., M, D. (University of Penna.) He surely is a tough examiner. I was rather lucky in his other classes......................' Please put this in the pipe of some who down the High School. The boys are making good. KiefFer, John Hesse, Simon Clopper and now Charley, for example. I admit that the last year of High School could stand a course in higher Arithmetic. I believe it would help a lot but for those who say it does not amount to anything and for the sake of a few who have not made the grade they would be willing to sacrifice the whole course. It seems to me whatever is gained through High School is worth the ef- fort. The game is worth the candle. Rome was not built in a day, neither is education acquired in an hour. Every little bit helps. I am getting mine now and expect to be at it for ten more years before I am finished but by the Grace of God and German stubbornness I expect to pull through. There is a Di- vine injunction which says we must seek to find, knock and it will opened, ask and it will be given unto us. It re- fers I understand to the Kingdom of God but it can be applied to anything. So for the next ten years I expect to be a diligent seeker, a persistent asker and a joyful finder of education........ I will be glad to see the Blue Ridge mountains when I come home on my va- cation. I would have swapped all Phil- adelphia for Donaldson’s Hill when 1 first came here, I was so homesick, but I got over it....................... Don Kimler Followed Instructions Mrs. Weller—“Why didn't you put the watermelon in the ice-box as I told you, Mary?” Mary—“L did, mum.” Mrs. Weller—“But it isn’t cold.” Mary—“No, mum. How could it be? I had to take the ice out to get it in.” To have a daily appointed task of even common drudgery to do makes the rest of life seem all the sweeter. Though all cannot live on the piazza, every one may feel the sun. Never treat money affairs with levity, money is character. In all your dealings give your neighbor the cast of the bank, good measured, heaped up, and running over; and you will not lose by it, in the end. Newman Auto Co.
