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.”
