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. RUTH McAFEE Ruth is one of the well-liked members of the class. She has won many friends during her four years’ stay at Smithsburg. She hopes to go in training to become a 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. GLADYS WILES Gladys has a quiet but sunny disposition. We all agree that she has been a true friend to everyone during her four years’ stay with us. Gladys wishes to enter the field of nurs- ing. May luck be with you, Gladys. ★

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.
