HIGHffEWS IN MEDIAS RES VOL. V. Smithburg, Md. May 1929 No. 8 OUR SENIORS (continued from March Issue) Alfred Fehl When we hear a piano playing we think of Alf, because of his widely known talent for piano music. Not only in music is he talented, but also in school work, for he is a very intelligent thinker and hard worker. He tries to pick up extra knowledge where ever obtainable. In our Junior Play, Aaron Boggs, Fresh- man,” he took the part of Pepper Jervis; in our Senior Play, Turning the Trick, he took the part of Jim Doughterty, a detect- ive; in the S. H. S. Dramatic Club Play, he played the leading part of Bob Mathews.' He played each role more than creditably. We expect in the near future either to see him on the Yale fotball team or playing a piano in Paul Whiteman's Orchestra. JOSEPHINE PRYOR Josephine joined our class when we were Freshmen. We all wondered who she was and from whence she had come. We soon found out. Josephine wears a bright and happy smile whenever we see her. She is a very in- dustrious girl and always knows her lessons. If a classmate wants any help he does not hesitate to ask her. She helps in a way that can be understood. When our class elected the High News staff, Josephine was elected editor, a position she has capably filled. (Continued on page 4) SENIORS TEN YEARS HENCE Josephine Pryor—A spinster school marm.

The things that seemed hard, unpleasant and discouraging have departed from our minds, leaving only pleasant memories in their places. When we entered the high school, the time before us seemed endless, but now since it is fin- ished we see that it was really only a short time. Some have not put their time to the best possible use, but is there not now a sigh of regret in some hearts for wasted moments? The high school course is not so difficult that it hurts anyone's mind, but it does take a certain amount of study and concentration. Anyone who so desires and is willing to work can make a success in high school. Our teachers have tried to make our work pleasant and interesting for us. Perhaps we did not appreciate it at the time, but now we can realize it. They are always willing to give their assistance to those who seek aid over the difficult places. Besides our studies, high school has a social side. We come into closer associa- tion with boys and girls from different places. We learn to live in harmony with others. The rules of the school which we must obey give us training in obedience to law and the keeping of order. High school gives us a broader view point of life. It helps us to see things in a better hgnt. Some of the narrow prejudices that have existed for generations are gradually being torn away by education. We are taught to see both sides of every question. Broad, understanding minds is what our country needs in order to govern and be governed well. If we look back for a moment, as we are launching our ship into the wide unknown waters, we see that our high school days were the happiest of our life. We realize that the four years spent in high school were, in- deed, worth while. Now as we bid farewell to the dear old High and face the unknown future, the question of what will come next enters our minds. —Editor. NEW BOOKS Our library is a never ending source of knowledge. The books it contains are the best obtainable and cover many subjects. Some recent additions to the library have been made and some of the subjects covered are: Physics, Astronomy, History (both Eu- ropean and American), Immigration, and books for use in the American Democracy course, works of various authors, Biology, English, Civics, and also various novels. The students should use these books to the best advantage in their school work, remem- bering that such a selection of books is not to be had in every school. The recent com- munity affairs that have been sponsored by the school are helping to do these things and we ask the people in the community to give us their support. HIGH NEWS Page 3 OUR TEACHERS Mr. Rexford B. Hartle Mr. Hartle has been our principal for five years. He is a graduate of Franklin and Marshall Academy and also of Franklin and Marshall College. He has taken summer courses at Johns Hopkins and at the Universi- ty of Maryland. He was principal of Leit- ersburg grammar school two years; Brooke- ville High, three years; Highland High, two years; Foster Township High at Freeland, Pa., one year and Smithsburg High, five years. He teaches American Democracy and first and third year Math. Formerly he taught Physics, Latin, Science and History. We are very fortunate in having him with us and hope that he will be here again next year. Mr. Harold Remsberg Mr. Remsburg is our assistant principal this year. He is a graduate of Middletown High and of the University of Maryland. He has been with us for four years as our Agri- cultural Instructor. Besides Agriculture he taught Science one year and Biology two years. He has coached Boys' Athletics ever since he has been with us. We look for- ward to having him with us when school re- opens this fall. Miss Josephine Strite Miss Strite is a graduate of Hagerstown High and Swarthmore College. She has taught at Smithsburg for two years. She teaches History and Latin. Last year she taught History, Latin and Community Civics. She has given valuable assistance to our high school paper. Whenever there is a social function of the school Miss Strite is always present and willing to help in any way she can. The students of S. H. S. will be great- ly disappointed if she does not return next year. Mr. Charles A. Summers Mr. Summers, our French, Math, and Phy- sics teacher, is a graduate of Boonsboro High and of Western Maryland College. This is his first year of teaching but we expect him to return to us again next year. He has coached the Volley Ball team and also played an important part in preparing the grammar school children for the Field Day events. Miss Rachel Albaugh Miss Albaugh of Mt. Airy, who is a grad- uate of Hood College, Frederick, Maryland, majored in English and has taught this sub- ject in our high school during the past year. She taught for six years in Liberty-town High School. Miss Albaugh has been un- able to be with us for some time due to ill- ness. We are looking forward to seeing her back with us again next year. Miss Al- baugh has successfully coached two of our plays and when one of the characters in Turning the Trick” was reported too ill to play his part two hours before the first per- formance, Miss Albaugh ably played his role. We owe much to Miss Albaugh. SELECTION OF STANDARD RING A meeting was called by our principal, Mr. Hartle, to select a standard ring for S. H. S. The committees were composed of teachers and representatives of the high school classes and of the Alumnae Association. The ring selected is to have the school en- trance and a cutting of High Rock on the shanks. The letter S” and a ribbon on which is written our school motto In Medi- as Res compose the top. This ring will be the standard for at least five years. The Minium Conrad House Company of Hagerstown has loaned pianos to the Smiths- burg High School for different musical events without any charge for their use. We thank the Minium Conrad House Company for their extremely kind favor. Page 4 High News ADVICE TO THOSE WHO CRITICIZE OUR SCHOOL I have been asked many times why we do not read the Bible in our school. Some people have made the statement that a Bible cannot be found in the four walls of our school. This is all a mistake. If anyone were to visit our school immediately after it had assembled in the morning, he will find that a number of verses of the Bible are read, and the Lord’s Prayer is said in unison in every class room. And if anyone thinks a Bible cannot be found in the school building, he has only to look in each teacher’s desk. Verse reading has not been a practice just this year, but has existed throughout my high school days and I am now a Senior. I have been asked what per cent has been the mortality of the Senior class. In our freshman year, there were forty-two girls and boys entered in our class. Seven of these either failed, were indifferent or moved away during their first year. Later on two left us on account of illness, seven either moved away or were indifferent, one went to work, and two entered another school. Now, at the happiest period of our school life, we have nineteen graduates. After all statistics are examined instead of hearsay being cred- ited, our school will not be found to be half as bad as some people have been picturing it to be. We ask you to obtain all the facts first before criticizing. Don’t you think this to be fair? —A Senior. OUR SENIORS (From Page 1) Whenever she comes with her pencil and paper we know our paper is due and she wants news. Last year in our class play she performed the part of the leading lady exceedingly well. She showed her ability as an actor in playing the role of Madame Bairski,”in this year's play, Turning the Trick.” Josephine lead the class of ’29 in class work and will give the Valedictory address on class night. She does not discuss her plans for the fu- ture, but we all think she will be a school teacher. Whatever she attempts to do, the class of ’29 wishes her success. Richard Newcomer Here is one of our jolly Seniors who always looks on the bright side of life. Dick, as he is best known to his school-mates, has become widely known by his many different talents. In our Junior play he took the part of Casey Jones” and in our Senior play he took the part of George Drake” both of which he enacted very well. He is manager of our base ball team. We expect to see Dick either on Wall Street or playing the violin in Roxy’s Theatre. Iva Buhrman Iva is a girl with a kind heart and a pleas- ant disposition and is well liked by all of her class mates. She was made a member of our happy throng when we entered the high school as Freshmen. In our Junior play she played the part of Mrs. Pickens extremely well. She is a very good player on our Volley Ball team. Iva's ambition is to be a nurse. As she leaves High School we all send with her our best wishes for her success. Paul Lung Paul joined us when we were in the eighth grade. He is a lad from the coal region around Pittsburgh. He takes great interest in our school athletics and has won promi- nent positions on various ball teams. He has also taken an active part in the Agricul- tural Society, having been in several plays and minstrels. Paul is a lover of literature and books and (Next page, please) HIGH NEWS Pa c 5 especially enjoys moving pictures which por- tray historical events. He has a very bright future before him. He expects to join his father in the railroad office. Probably some day he will be at the head of some large railroad. Let us wish him the best of success. Anna Barkdoll Anna is one of the merriest in our class. She is always wearing a bright happy smile when she comes to school. She is very much interested in her school work and studies hard. During the noon hour you will usually find her studying French. In last year's Junior play, Aaron Boggs, Freshman, she played the part of Loretta Rea. In our last play, Apple Blossom Time, she played the part of Malvina Kurtx in a very pleasing manner. You will usually find Anna present at the social functions of the school, especially the dances. Her plans for the future are yet uncertain, but we expect to find her attending Frost- burg Normal School next year. Whatever she does or where ever she goes, the best wishes of the class of '29 will always go with her Kenneth Spessard Kenneth Spessard is a popular member of our class who shows his interest by an active participation in all class events. He is quite talented along literary lines. He has played leading roles for three years in the Minstrel and has also taken part in the plays Aaron Boggs, Turning the Trick” and Apple Blossom Time. He is the songster of the class. Kenneth expects to become a teacher and our best wishes go with him for much suc- cess in his chosen profession. Officer:— Didn't you see that stop light? Richard Newcomer:— Sure, but 1 didn't see you. BASE BALL GAMES AND BATTERIES OF HOME TEAM 12345 6 789 Total At Middletown 025000000 7 Smitshburg 000012000 3 Battery: Martin and Lung.

THE CLASS OF ’29 When we consider the good times we have had for four years and that these good times are almost over, we think of our very first years. We entered high school as every other class—wandering, looking and hunting. We had four new teachers: Miss Bell, our Eng- lish Instructor; Mr. Chandlee, Mathematics; Mr. Remsberg, Science; Mr. Hartle, Latin; and Community Civics under Miss Bell. Several of the boys took Agriculture under Mr. Remsberg. These boys are the first to graduate with a four year course in Agri- culture. By the end of our freshman year we really began to know what was before us. There were forty-two of us in all, but due to misfortune twenty-two left us one by one. The sophomore year was taken up in hard study. We had Miss Darner as our Math teacher, and Mr. Chandlee, History and Bi- ology. Several failed the first month in Caesar, and took up Biology. As Juniors, we were the jolliest class in High School. We found our subjects very hard but we managed to get through with- out one failing. We had a change in Eng- lish teachers, getting a former high school graduate, Mr. Wolfinger, for our Junior term. This year, we have really learned what school life has been. There are only twenty of us left. There were two former pupils to join us this year. Mr. Summers and Miss Albaugh entered our school as the new teach- ers. We found Physics a very delightful ' but hard study under Mr. Summers, who is also our French teacher. Mr. Hartle taught American Democracy and Miss Albaugh, English. Our class has been the first to graduate from this high school with a higher standard and average than any class in the past. We have tried as Seniors to set examples for the lower classmen, which we hope will be con- tinued after we leave. SENIORS SEE SHAKESPEAREAN DRAMA Friday, April 12th, the Senior Class jour- neyed to Baltimore to see Fritz Leiblers pre- sentation of Shakespeare’s play, Macbeth, staged at Ford s Opera House. The play was enjoyed by everyone and proved edu- cational assistance in our study of Shakes- pearean plays and literature of the Elizabeth- an Age. The trip was under the direction of Miss Rachel Albaugh, head of the English Depart- ment of the High School.

We buried him yesterday. HIGH NEWS THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS Our mind is a wonderful piece of ma- unery and yet we cannot concentrate on i ,o things at the same time. Hundreds and j .rhaps thousands of positive and negative .noughts enter our mind each day. The good thoughts are positive and the bad are nega- tive. All thoughts, or perhaps most of them, tend to express themselves in actions. For as a man is in his heart, so is he, and his actions are controlled accordingly. Now comes the great question, the battle between the positive and the negative. The problem is not difficult if we take the right attitude towards it. The whole solution lies in three words, elimination by substitution. Substitute for each bad thought a good thought, and the bad thought will die a natural death. Not until we assume this attitude will we be able to control our thoughts and actions. J. Gardenhour '28 COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Community House Friday, June, 7th, 8:00 p.m. Invocation Rev. Curfman.

She is now recovering from a severe attack of scarlet fever and grippe. We are very sorry to hear she will be unable to re turn again this school year.

L. Dunkle, on April the 10th, to Smithsburg High, a letter was received inviting the Senior Class and our Faculty to visit the Normal School at Frostburg. Only four of the class were able to go. They were: Josephine Pryor, Charlotte For- rest, Robert Clopper and Richard Martin. Due to the illness of his father-in-law, Mr. Hartle (the principal) was unable to accomp- any them. Mr. C. M. Clopper went with them on the trip. The party left Smithsburg about 9:15 on Saturday morning. May the 4th, and arrived at their destination at 11:40 a. m. They were welcomed by former graduates of S. H. S. and friends. Before luncheon, Prof. Dunkle talked with the visiting students. Luncheon, consisting of baked beans, salad, rasin bread, butter and cocoa was served at one o'clock. The afternoon was spent in meeting the students, resting and viewing the town. Some of the important places which they saw were: the homes of the teach- ers and boys, the public swimming pool, the high school building and the large churches. Dinner was served at 6:00. It consisted of meat, potatoes, peas, dressing, salad, hot rolls, butter and coffee or milk. Dessert was chopped pineapple. After dinner, there was a social time in the living room. Danc- ing was held on the bridge between the dormitory and the main building. This bridge is not like the ones we see over rivers, but is similar to a large hallway. A vic- trola furnished music for the couples. Page II At 7:00 p. m. the students went up the street. They were all in by 10:15, but they did not retire until the bed-time hour. Breakfast was served at 8:30 on Sunday. It was made up of grape-fruit, cereal, bacon, hot rolls, butter and coffee or milk. About nine o’clock in the morning there was a social hour in the living room where all en- joyed themselves. During the time spent at Normal, special privileges were given to the friends of the visiting students. In their leisure moments, the visitors were shown through the main building, where they saw the class rooms, a spacious gymnas- ium (where athletics, assemblies, dances and other entertainments are held) and the lock- ers. The girls were shown through the dormitory, where they spent the night. This building appealed to the girls, as it was very homelike. The school is much more attrac- tive than it is when pictured to us by photo- graphs. After spending a very enjoyable time, the S. H. S. students started on their homeward journey at 10:00 a. m. The girls were loath to leave on account of both old and new friends and the pleasing impression that the school had made upon them.
