Plitt Page J HIGHNEWS Class History irv D 'Che tTlnnals of th Class of 1938 Near the end of the summer months, way back in 1934, we, as a group of Freshmen, 54 in number, rushed into room 26. We entered eagerly with visions of a happy future in which our meager knowledge would be made greater. We gazed in awe at a group of students who were presented to us as dignified Seniors. We were silently dubious as to their dignity, but we knew that they were more learned and ex- perienced than we were. Then there were the Juniors, who, although they didn’t possess what the Seniors considered dignity, demanded ap- propriate recognition as upper classmen. The Sophomores remembered their experience as Freshmen of the preceding year and welcomed us with understanding. As those ignorable, competitive days passed on we were given a little bit more considera- tion, and then the first important event of the year—the class election. Those elected were Paul Boswell, president; Lucille Hartle, vice president; Sudie Hershberger, secretary-treas- urer. During this year we were active and raised money for our future use by winning $15 from Kretsinger’s Store. A new era dawned. We were no longer Freshmen, but Sophomores now, and we were respected a trifle by our upper classmen. Sev- eral of our classmates decided to change their course and steer in another direction. We treat- ed the Freshmen courteously, because we knew of the predicament we had been in the year before. As those minutas were dawning we held our second election. Electing them was a task, but our duty was performed by selecting as officers: Leland Happel, president; Ruth Mc- Afee, vice president; Sudie Hershberger, secre- taiy-traasurer; Ivan Tracy, student council member. As Sophomores we were full of ideas and pep. Many of our boys and girls were on the athletic teams. Our third year in Smithsburg High School was ushered in with great enthusiasm. We were called young ladies and young gentlemen and took immense advantage of it until we were “callad down by Mr. Summers.” We re- ceived the honor of being christened “the most talkative.” Then came the election of class officers. They were Jane Wade, president; Le- land Happel, vice president; Gail Beard, secre- tary-treasurer; and student council members were Ruth McAfee, Dale Fishack and Jane Wade. The general round of studies and so- cial activities brought us quickly to the spring time of the year when we began preparations for the Junior Prom, the big event of the year. May 14, 1937. Many of our athletic boys and girls received letters for their exceptional abilities. September, 1937, brought us to the begin- ning of our last sail on our high school voy- age. Eventually came the class election and the following were elected: Carroll Biser, presi- dent; Jane Wade, vice president; Luella Smith, secretary-treasurer; and Richard Slick, Ruth McAfee and Jane Wade, student council mem- bers. Rapidly the year slipped by and we were soon working on our Senior play, “Mountain Mumps.” It proved to be a dramatic success, as well as a financial one. It was presented April 1 to a large capacity audience. In due time a minstrel was held. Many of the Seniors were sad at the thought of soon having to leave Smithsburg High School. The Seniors were given a Junior Prom on May 20, 1938. With canary yellow and blue colors flying, the Prom was a success. With the baccalaureate sermon, June 5, by Rev. Dewitt Dickey and the commencement address by Dr. Stahr, June 10, our high school career was filled with number- less experiences which helped us to forget any sorrow which chanced to come up.

Richard Page 6 HIGH NEWS rf s - € lass Q] Prophecy : Car-Rich Ranch, Reno, Nev., June 10, 1948 Dear Diary: Today has been one of the most unusual in the annals of the Car-Rich Ranch. It has also been the most enjoyable one in our lives be- cause we have just made the last payment on the ranch; and a deed, stating that Carroll Biser and Richard Slick now own the 3,000-acre ranch, is in our pockets. In order to keep our patrons well pleased we are forced to select the best entertainment. You can imagine our amazement when our en- tertainers arrived and we found them to be none other than “Punch” Willard and “Pop” Martin, who have been playing over S. H. S. for five years. We met with a problem when one horse wrangler quit his job without notice, but this was solved when Roger Rowe came wandering in the next morning about breakfast time and jumped at our offer. Our ranch is just ten miles out of town and naturally we get many applications from the women seeking divorces. On this very day we had two girls arrive—none other than Elizabeth Frey and Gladys Wiles. (They said they could not get along with their men). They plan to stay the usual six to eight weeks. Carroll mentioned to me that we should have a special dinner to renew old acquaint- ances and, of course, that meant a ride into town for more food. We had some motor trouble on the way to town and had to call a town truck. As the little car was coming to- ward us, we saw on the side a huge sign which read “MARTIN KLINE—Repair Service.” (The car was a Model A coupe). We finally reached town and did our purchasing at a grocery and meat store owned by John Da- tillio. We went back to the garage, but found that we would have to wait about five hours, because George did not have the repairs on hand. We decided to visit the theater and sum- moned a cab. The cab pulled up with a jerk and the door flew open, and, lo and behold, there was Lee Happel at the wheel. We went to the theater where we bought tickets from an attractive blond, who called us by name. We pondered a while and then we knew that it was Lena Kuhn, somewhat reduced. We entered the lobby and we were greeted by the smiling faces of Julia Jacques and Gail Beard, who were joint owners of the theater. And say, it was really a nice place! We were ushered to our seats by Dale Fishack, a classmate. From there we watched a very enjoyable show directed by “Dick Bol- linger,” a newcomer to Hollywood. We were entertained by a grand organ re- cital calhd “The Organ Grinder Swing,” ground out by George Gardiner on his Stradivarus Hand Organ (without the mon- key). This was followed by an orchestra con- ducted by “Fats” Gaver, master of the trom- bone, making his debut, starring Jane Wade as mistress of the trumpet and Elsa Kretsinger, vocalist. When leaving the theatre we congratulated Julia and Gail for their fine achievement and their excellent entertainers. We were strolling down the street when we noticed a gayly decorated beauty salon, in the doorway of which stood two attractive young women whom we recognized as Luella Smith and Lucille Hartle, trying their best to get customers. We stopped to chat awhile, and found that they had just opened their place of business that week. Suddenly we heard a crash and a bang outside. We jumped to our feet and looked out, only to see two middle- aged Whippets that had collided and their drivers were arguing as to who was at fault. We soon recognized them as Doris Olsen and Ruth McAfee (now married). We told them of the very fine repair service rendered by MAR- TIN KLINE, and they decided to have their wrecks remodeled there.

HIGH NEWS Page 9 C g)| D6V $ ?• ¥ $� % CHARLES WILLARD Charles, although last, is not least on the list, and is certainly not the least in the hearts of his classmates. Lately he has been exhibiting his musical talents with the mandolin and har- monica, which furnish entertainment during his leisure time. He hopes to become an engi- neer, and the class of 38 wishes him success. ELIZABETH FREY Elizabeth is the giggle box of the class, and her gray spirit will be missed when she leaves Smithsburg High. She desires to study nursing. Our best wishes go with her. IDA MAE FORREST Quiet, shy, friendly! It does not take much to describe the character of Ida Mae. She is always ready to give a helping hand whenever she is able. Ida Mae is uncertain about her work in the future, but whatever it may be, we wish her success. LUCILLE HARTLE Lucille is one of the most friendly and cheerful members of our graduating class. Her pleasing personality has won her many friends. She aspires to a career in stenography where we hope to see her reach the highest peak of accomplishment. SUDIE HERSHBERGER Let us introduce you to another of our classmates, Sudie Hershberger. She has been with us since the first grade. Her ambition is to become a hairdresser. Success in the fu- ture, Sudie. JULIA JACQUES Julia, as editor-in-chief of our High News, has made it a success. Julia’s ambition is to become a nurse. That her chosen profession may be a happy one is the wish of the class of ’38. ELSA KRETSINGER Elsa is the songbird of the class. Also if one does not see her, he may suspect her whereabouts by her infectious laugh. We eagerly look forward to her brilliant achieve- ments in the singing field. LENA KUHN Lena is a violinist in our orchestra. She kept up a splendid attendance since she en- tered our class. Lena hopes to become a nurse. Success to the future, nurse.

Her pa- tients will indeed be fortunate. DORIS OLSEN Doris has the distinction of being the tall- est girl in the class. She wants to be a beau- tician. If she clings to her work as she con- tinued to turn class periods into parlors, she certainly will attain her goal. Good luck, Doris. HILDA SMITH She is shy but friendly. She usually tries to act innocent, but is just the opposite, espe- cially in French Class. Some day we expect to see her employed as a secretary. May her fu- ture be bright and successful. LUELLA SMITH Luella is a girl who has a smile for every- one and is well liked by her schoolmates. She has been one of the outstanding athletes of the school during her years with us. She hopes to enter into the field of stenography and we wish her very much success. JANE WADE Jane served on the student council and as business manager of our High News. She was president of our class in the Junior year. Jane is particularly interested in business and some day her accomplishments in this field will make the class rejoice.

S. during their four years of competition. They excelled in every sport and soon established an enviable repu- tation among the numerous opponents they met. Their skill, sportsmanship and good playing led the girls teams to many victories and they formed the nucleus of every team on which they played. Luella Smith and Lucille Hartle participated in every game played by the team. During the last two years they were assisted by Jane Wade, Doris Olsen and Elizabeth Frey, who did their part in establishing girls’ ath- letics so prominently. Their greatest achieve- ment was the winning of the county basketball championship in 1937- 38. During our first year of high school, the “Smitties won six games and lost one game of fieldball. The second year we won four and lost two, third year we were the victors of the Lower Triangle. We were likewise victorious in basketball. Our scores were: for the first year, 15-7; the second year, 14-8; third year, 17-6; fourth year, 21-5, or a total of 67-26. Hagerstown won the county championship for the first three years, and Smithsburg won it for the fourth year. BOYS’ ATHLETICS—’38 The Freshmen making the athletic teams in 34 and 35 were Lee Happel, soccer and base- ball; Dale Fishack, soccer and basketball, and Carroll Biser, soccer and baseball. In the Sophomore year we placed four boys, Lee Happel, Dale Fishack, Richard Slick and Carroll Biser on three teams: soccer, basket- ball and baseball. We also played touch foot- ball after the soccer season. The Sophomores, aided by Mr. Remsburg, opposed the Senior class of 36 and defeated them in four out of five games. During our Junior year the school did not enter the County Soccer League but formed an International League in the school composed of four teams. The “Colts, managed by Charles Burgessor and captained by Carroll Biser, won the pennant and also received a number of free cafeteria tickets. That year Lee Happel, Rich- ard Slick, Dale Fishack and Carroll Biser again made the basketball and baseball teams. During the Senior year, we placed five boys on the soccer team which was defeated only by Hancock in the deciding game for the county championship. The basketball season was quite a success, Smithsburg placing sec- ond in the county standings. The baseball sea- son was the most successful of any during our high school career. Besides winning the ma- jority of our games we also won the County Championship—a feat never before accom- plished by our school.

The progress which has always characterized Smithsburg High School’s con- servative training we feel has marked this year’s achievements. In a birdsaye view we note annual events—Smithsburg High School sent forth excellent soccer and fieldball teams which showed plenty of “spunk” in the county “play-off” games for the championship; the annual school bazaar, supper and poultry show, which supplied fun and entertainment for both old and young, were held; after a brief inter- mission for Christmas holidays, our athletic coaches returned with two of the most out- standing basketball teams that ever appeared on the gymnasium floor, in fact the girls won the Washington county championship but suf- fered so much from stage fright that they were unable to defeat Frederick in an attempt to capture the state title; the annual Senior play. “Mountain Mumps,” proved to be an overwhelm- ing success; the Juniors produced one of the most delightful and enjoyable dances ever spon- sored by any class; the Seniors concentrated for once to pull through exams; Baccalaureate sermon was delivered in the Lutheran Church by the Rev. Dickey; the Commencement exer- cises graduated twenty-seven Seniors; assem- blies were held occasionally to relieve the am- bitious students of their heavy burden—classes. To liven up the spirits of the student body the school year was opened by the National Antietam Commeration which had as a repre- sentative of Smithsburg, Mary Julia Kret- singer, a member of the Junior class. Other special events of the official year were the ad- dress by Mr. Raphael Emmanuel, a Babylonian, who pictured the lives of those people to the students; the High News staff was entertained by Miss Virtue Shockey; the girls’ basketball team obtained the Washington county cham- pionship for the first time in many years; the Thurmont Choral Society under the direction of Prof. C. M. Cassel, presented “An Old Ken- tucky Garden;” the Senior girls, with the aid of the lady members of the faculty, sponsored a card party; Dr. Grafflin, lecturer, addressed the student body; a variety show’, consisting of a Tom Thumb wedding, minstrel show and fashion show, was presented by more than one hundred and fifty students. She high hews The ‘High News” for the year 1937-’38 set a new record for the school paper through the splendid co-operation of the faculty advisor, staff and students. The school publication was supported entirely by student subscriptions and advertisements. Each issue was filled with editorials, news events and many other articles which entertained our subscribers. The paper was larger than any other in the history of the paper, and six of the seven issues had art covers, which attracted the eyes of many patrons. The staff is proud of the many oral and written compliments received during the year. Those in charge of the paper wish to express their sincere appreciation to all who helped in any wav toward the publication of the “High News.” S. h. S. £ibrary The high school library is not a large one and therefore it fills the needs of the school only partially. Including encyclopedias, reference books and novels there are 500 books on the shelves at the present time. The library subscribes for twenty different magazines and papers. Some are not kept in the library magazine rack, but are used in the individual classrooms instead. An average of fifty pupils use the library daily. Plans are being made to increase the number of both fiction and nonfiction for the year 1938- 39. Besides reference bocks, there is an urgent need for more modern drama, biographies and autobiographies.

CLASS PROPHECY (Concluded from page 6) We returned to the ranch and found, to our surprise, Sudie Hershberger, who was vaca- tioning in the “West after her great success on the New York stage. The next day about noon, while repairing the corral, we heard a rattle and looked down the road to see a Model T coming up the lane in a cloud of dust. When the car stopped and the passengers stepped out, we recognized them as Hilda Smith and Ida Mae Forrest, wives of our two entertainers. They said this was the third time their husbands had run off and this time they were going to chain them fast. Carroll and I decided the week of June 17 would be Old Homecoming Week for the class of ’38 and that we would be responsible for a gay celebration. In order to preserve this diary, we have stored it away in mothballs until 1958 when we shall again endeavor to reunite the class of ’38. Yours ’til 1958, Carroll and Richard G ®(l l) Faff e H HIGH NEWS We, the class of 1938, being of sound mind and limb, supposedly, do hereby bequeath to those who will endeavor, however unsuccess- fully, to follow in the paths we have blazed, our many attributes and virtues. First, to the faculty, our profound grati- tude and the wish that they may be more lenient with less deserving classes than they were with us. To the Juniors, we leave with our best re- gards, our seats in room 24. To the Sophomores, we leave our sports- manship and ability to chew gum without get- ting caught by the teacher. Especially to the Freshmen do we leave our ability to remain in school during the four years of hard work. Carroll Biser, president of the class, wills his masculine physique to Emerson Ridenour. With your eyes and that physique you ought to be a knockout, Emerson. Lee Happel, vice president, bequeaths his “way with the women” to Delbert Biser. Luella Smith, a studious little blonde, leaves her outstanding athletic ability to Vir- ginia Lumm. Richard Slick wills his chin whiskers to Thomas Werbebaugh—also a couple of dull razor blades. Ruth McAfee bequeaths her place as li- brarian to Mary C. Newcomer. Jane Wade wills her straight hair to Car- rie Baker. Gail Beard leaves his knowledge and his good marks to Richard Jacques. Doris Olsen bequeaths her excess height and ability to miss school to Annabelle Smith. Richard Bollinger gives his ability to ob- tain “ads” to Pauline Kipe. You must be able to argue and convince. Roger Rowe wills his quietness to Beulah Walters. A generator wears out, sometimes, Beulah. Lucille Hartle leaves her winning ways to Julia Baker. Develop them, Julia. Victor Kline wills to George Lentz his pe- culiar cough. Now you can make some noise, George. Sudie Hershberger bequeaths to Pauline Blickenstaff her position as mail carrier. Elsa Kretsinger wills her claim upon “Joe” Rouse to Mary Sensenbaugh. George Gardiner leaves all his knowledge in French to Geraldine Kipe. Elizabeth Frey bequeaths to Violet Boswell her giggling. Dale Fishack wills his reputation as a bass horn player to Edwin Beard. Earl Martin gives to Wilber Clark his bash- fulness among the girls. Lena Kuhn leaves her excess weight to Lu- cille Fost. Gladys Wiles gives her individual walk to Mary Dattilio. Now you can strut. Mary. Julia Jacques, the greatest arguer, leaves this ability behind to Virginia Winders. Jabber, jabber. Now, who does that re- mind you of? Of course, it’s George Martin, and he leaves his chatter to Norwood Winders. Ida Mae Forrest wills her knowledge of present-day happenings to Mabel Kuhn. Hilda Smith wills her shyness toward the boys to Catherine Deal. The boys like to rest once in a while. John Dattilio leaves his place as manager of the basketball team to Donald Sensenbaugh. And Charles Willard will play “She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain” on his harmon- ica. “Charlie” makes a great sacrifice when he leaves his glory to Robert Maclay. Richard Gaver leaves his happy-go-lucky life to everyone whose name was not men- tioned in this will. Probably they will profit by their treasures most of all.
