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.
