Page 3 The Class of '40 began writing its history in the annals of Smithsburg High, September 8, 1936, with an enrollment of 48 enthusiastic Freshmen, who, becoming acclimated immediately, took a conspicuous part in all school activities. The class organized with Richard Winters, president; June Frey, vice president; and Virginia Watson, secretary-treasurer. Several students were prominent in the orchestra and in athletics. A 4-H Club was organized in the school by our class. The class made a splendid record in the Sophomore year in all branches of school activities. It excelled in scholastic work w’ith five members on the honor roll; it furnished two members of the championship girls’ basketball team; it gave six musicians to the orchestra; and it furnished the nucleus for the newly-organized Home Economics Course. The annual class party was held at the home of William Allenberg, and the Home Economics party at the schoolhouse. Some of the class took part in a Fashion Show that was spon- sored as a part of a Variety Night entertainment. At commencement time the medal for excellence in history was awarded to one of the class. The officers were Betty Fager. president; Virginia Harp, vice president; and June Frey, secretary-treasurer. Twenty-nine of the original class returned for the Junior year. This period was marked by a chain of important events. The athletic teams, both boys and girls, contained several Juniors, and the girls’ team, (basketball) with the Junior members, won the county championship for the second suc- cessive year. The class party was held at Camp Ritchie, February 16. During May the annual school review. “Students on Parade,’’ was presented in the auditorium to show some of the school activities. Then on May 12 the eagerly- awaited Junior Prom was staged in honor of the graduating class. This Prom was the most successful one ever held in the school. The officers for the year were Richard Winters, president; Paul Moore, vice president; and Virginia Harp, secretary-treasurer. During the present year the class stepped into its role of school leader- ship and very effectively published the High News, sponsored the class party at Mary Sensenbaugh’s, filled most of the places in the operetta, “The Lady Says ‘Yes’ ”, and gave the class play to a large and appreciative audience. The members in the orchestra were praised for their fine work when they played for a local banquet. The Home Economics girls put their fine training to practice in many ways, such as the giving of formal dinners. The girls of the class joined the newly-organized Glee Club which broad- cast a program, April 20. The class officers for this last year were: Richard Myers, president; Betty Fager, vice president; Virginia Harp, secretary- treasurer.

Newcomer Richard Myers Motto: “Tonight We Launch—Where Shall We Anchor?” Flower—American Beauty Rose Colors—Rose and Silver LESLIE HAPPEL •‘Oh Romeo, My Romeo ' Leslie, our class Romeo, is the pleasant young boy with the crooked smile. In his four years at S. H. S. he has been outstanding in all forms of high school activities. He has especially distinguished himself as an athlete. He plans to join the navy and may he go far! RICHARD WINTERS “Speaking of brilliance - - He shines with the sun.” Capable to the n .. th degree—that is “Dick,” and his capabilities rest not in one field, either. His future promises much, for he is sure to meet business problems with the same vigor and calmness that he showed at S. H. S. RICHARD MYERS H2 worries little And studies less.” Another member of the class who will be missed is “Rich,” who served as Senior class president. Wit and wholesome good humor radiates from him. This should go toward making the world a better place to live. WILBUR CLARK “Like a ship in a storm His future is unknown.” Wilbur is the smiling, curly-haired boy with no plans for his future. May your high school experiences and comradeship be of utmost benefit to you! MABLE KUHN ‘If silence were golden, Mable would live in a poorhouse.” Mable is one of those persons to whom lockjaw would be the worst affliction. It’s surprising how much she can say in a short time. She played the clarinet in the school orchestra for five years. Her greatest ambi- tion is to be a child nurse. VIRGINIA BLICKENSTAFF “A true and loyal friend. A smile for everyone has won Virginia many friends during her stay at S. H. S. She played the clarinet in the school orchestra. Her ambition is to become a clerk, and per- sonally we think her customers will indeed be fortunate. MARY K. NEWCOMER “Speaking of hard work— Sre’s right in it. Mary Katharine is one member of the class who carefully weighs matters, makes a decision and sticks to it. As editor of the “High News” she proved to us that she can work and plan. Teaching is her highest ambition and there is no doubt but that she’ll make the best. EMERSON RIDENOUR “Slow but sure. Emerson’s wit and capacity for making friends would have been unknown if we had not looked beneath the surface of his leisurely existence. Here’s to you, Emerson! VIRGINIA HARP “Active and attractive.” Virginia is a very active girl in sports and scholastic work. She served as cashier in the cafeteria during her Junior year. Her man- ner is liked by all who know her. MIRIAM KLINE “On the upward trend.” Miriam is a tall, dark-haired girl, somewhat excitable in nature. She worked in the cafe- teria and took an interest in athletics. Her happy nature is pleasing to all. BEULAH WALTER “A slim brunette.” Beulah’s greatest interest is home econom- ics. She’s also happy-go-lucky, and we wouldn’t Page C gC C gC� NCi «gC«pC«� C 3C gC«}C«jC� C� .C� ;C«gC� C« C«gC« CqC C C ig 6«jCq, C CqCqC� jC C l)SV -4- 4 .

JUNE FREY “Dimples and smiles.” June is a pleasant and well-liked girl. Al- though she plays a violin in the schoolu orches- tra and teaches a violin class, her ambition is to be a beautician. ANNABELLE SMITH “Through thick or thin She is your friend.” Annabelle’s the little girl with the big smile, and really her smile is almost as big as she is. There is no doubt that her future will be a successful one because she is a hard worker and her personality is a vivid one. VIOLET BOSWELL “The world’s a stage.” Violet would be a hit on the stage—judging from the operetta and Senior play acting. She is also very active in her “lunch time” per- formance. Besides, she has a sincere and sunny disposition. CATHERINE DEAL “Bv being loving and kind, The world does not leave us behind.” Catherine is one of the most useful girls in the Senior class. She worked in the cafe- teria and assisted in the office. Then, too, she is kind-hearted. Because of her willingness to work she should easily fill the part of her life’s ambition—to be a nurse. PAUL MOORE “Talking of shy people Here’s more. (Moore)” A shy but friendly boy is an accurate de- scription of Paul. He loves his friends and strives to please them. We feel that Paul will make the most of his future. DELBERT BISER “He must have love—and more of it.” “Bos” is destined to be a real Future Farmer of America. He has always shown a love for fun and is well thought of by his classmates. EDGAR MYERS “By his drawings we shall know him.” If you see a tall, lanky boy sitting on a hill, painting a very picturesque landscape, it will be Edgar. If you talk to him and receive a witty answer, there is no doubt about it—it is Edgar. HONORA WOLFE “We haven’t known her long, But with us she belongs.” Honora is a cheerful girl with an interest in child nursing. She came to us during the Junior year from Indiana High School. HELEN KLINE “Short and sweet.” Helen is a short, friendly little girl inclined to giggle at times and who blushes easily. She has not chosen her future work as yet, but we wish her all the happiness and success in the world. BETTY FAGER “With her sunny disposition She’s bound to secure a position.” Betty is a cheerful, dark-haired girl with a great interest for chemistry and sports. She served as president of the class in the Sopho- more year. MARY SLOTTLEMYER “She’s the sunny side of life.” Mary is a very active girl, who has served as an office girl and a cafeteria worker. Her love of fun is enjoyed by all and by it she has gained a great many friends. VIRGINIA LASPE “If friends were money, Virginia would be rich!” Virginia is the youngest member of the Senior class. She is known for her good na- tured and friendly manner. Her desire is to be either a nurse or a beautician. We know that Virginia will be successful in either field. Pane 8 g fe)( j F. F. A.

Page 9 BOYS’ ATHLETICS Edgar Myers, Delbert Biser, Leslie Happel and Richard Winters remain as the four Senior students who participated for four years in athletics at S. H. S. Soccer, basket- ball and baseball have high-lighted the sports activities at Smithsburg for the past several years. Four years ago as “rookies” we learned the fundamentals of these sports and oc- casionally participated with the varsity squad. t he cec( nd year found a few of us as regu- lars and specializing in certain positions of the various games. We also produced some very successful teams that year. In ’38 and ’39 we found ourselves composing a major part of the varsity squad and challenged to unhold and even surpass the fine records made by former squads. We worked hard and strove to place Smithsburg among the leading schools in sport activities. This year. ’39 and ’40. finds us at the height of our high school ath- letic career. We have completed a successful soccer and basketball season and are at pres- ent in the midst of the baseball season which has all probabilities of being very successful. Only as a Senior can one realize the impor- GIRLS ATHLETICS The girls’ athletic teams were very suc- cessful this school year. During the fieldball season the team played excellent ball, and al- though several games were lost by close scores, the girls attracted much favorable comment for their fine playing ajid splendid sportsman- ship in both defeat and victory. The highlight of the athletic program was the work of the basketball team. Decimated by the graduation of the majority of last year’s team, a smooth working sextet was molded around the two experienced players of the squad. The season opened with a victory over Emmitsburg that was rather surprising in view of the inexperience of the squad. This game started the team on a winning streak that was eventually broken when a tie was played with Hagerstown. During the season ten games were won, two were lost, and a tie was played. Betty Fager, Virginia Harp. Miriam Kline, Geraldine Wade, Catherine Deal. Rachel Gearhart and Mary Stottlemyer played in all the games, with Betty Fager acting as captain. With the advent of warm weather, prac- tice in track and softball was started. It was again necessary to replace losses resulting FIRST ROW (left to right) William Huff. John Herbat, Theodore Wade.

The Senior athletic boys wish to thank their coach, Mr. Remsberg, for the genuine interest he has taken in them, and Mr. Hartle for his hearty co-operation in their activities.

Williamsport and Fairfield were defeated in interschool con- tests, and practice continued to prepare for the county field meet. The girls of the Senior Class, Betty Fager. Virginia Harp, Miriam Kline, Catherine Deal and Mary Stottlemyer, were especially active in athletics, and much of the athletic program can be traced to their efforts. Page 10 3f d Were a Senior If this year were my graduation year, I believe I would try to be thank- ful that parents, friends, or guardians had given me four years of leisure time to develop my mind, to study, to make friends and to acquire some good habits. I hope I would feel sorry and change my way, if I had not done the aforementioned things. With graduation approaching, I should be deciding some very vital ques- tions. The world expects a lot of all people. Many people fail. No matter what work I chose to do or had to do, I would determine to do that work well. Humble work well done is better than failure in official jobs. The efficient workman will be promoted; that is inevitable. The careless worker wins neither praise nor advancement. Nearly two thousand years ago, St. Paul said, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed. How true those words are today! Not only would I strive to be efficient, but I would also try to be en- thusiastic about my work. Enthusiasm is catching. The man or woman who possesses it moves on and up. And after all, why shouldn’t one be a pusher? “Life is real, life is earnest, says the poet. People without enthusiasm for work become unemployables and “leaners instead of pushers. We have millions of them today. I would not want to make one extra. 1 should resolve not to be bitterly discouraged by a period of unemploy- ment in my chosen work. Many times this is just a time to determine how strong is your enthusiasm for a chosen work. This period usually weeds out the “luke warm workers. Eventually the persistent, enthusiastic soul will win. Don’t refuse to work if you are unable to enter your chosen field. The world is full of work for willing hands. Do some volunteer work for a while. Real dirt on a man’s hands is not a disgrace if it is a result of honest toil. It is a great credit to anyone if he is not too proud to lift his hand to aid his fellow men. Too many folks confuse means with ends. I think if I were a Senior I would not assume that to own a sport roadster was the height of achieve- ment, or the ultimate end. Cars can be excellent means to keeping work, acquiring knowledge through travel, but as just an end in themselves they are rather an empty thing. A Senior should keep as his goal the idea of greater usefulness and service. He should endeavor to be a giver as well as a receiver. Finally, if I were a Senior, I would determine to continue my religious education and my church connections. Whether at home, at school or at work, one should not fail the church. People with religion acquire ideas and satisfaction from their living. They also have a way of being rather pros- perous in worldly goods. Their contribution to civilization cannot be meas- ured in dollars and cents; it is priceless. If I were a Senior I would want to be on the side that practices the golden rule.—A Teacher.

' , We, the members of the graduating class of 1940 of Smithsburg High School, as a token of our appreciation of favors shown us in the past, graciously make this our last will and testament. To the faculty members we will our thanks and appreciation for their guidance through our four years of high school life. To the Junior Class we will our co-operation in school activities and the right to be called Seniors after ten o’clock, June 7. To the Sophomores we will our great suc- cess in planning the Junior Prom and our very studious abilities. To the Freshmen we leave our ability to stay in school and work hard for four years. As individuals we wish to dispose of our personal belongings as follows: Richard Myers leaves his position as presi- dent of the Senior Class to Betty Jane Oiler. Betty Fager, vice president, wills her sing- ing abilites to the blond Freshman girl, La Nona Hahn. Music and athletics mix well. La Nona. Virginia Harp, secretary-treasurer of the class, bequeaths her forward position on the basketball team to none other than her sister. Betty. A little exercise or hard w'ork won’t hurt you, Betty. Wilbur Clark, our Hindu actor in the Senior play, “Tiger House,’’ wills his curly black hai. to Richard Olsen. Virginia Blickenstaff leaves her sewing ac- complishments to Louise Wolf. It may be of use to you some day, Louise. Mable Kuhn wills her talkativeness to none other than that very quiet Junior, Betty Frazer. Paul Moore, an agriculture student, leaves his deep voice to Roswell Werdebaugh. Mary Katharine Newcomer, a very studious member of the class, leaves her position as editor-in-chief of the “High News” to her assistant, Mary Datillio. Delbert Biser wills his slyness at playing “hookey” without getting caught to Quinn Fogle. Violet Boswell very generously gives all her acting skill to Nellie Decker. June Frey bequeaths to Donald Bollinger her reputation as a Rubinoff imitator. Emerson Ridenour, a very bashful Senior (around girls), leaves this trait to Clifton Har- baugh. After all, Clifton, the girls like a rest, too. Anna Belle Smith wills her slimness and quietness to Doris Wiles. Mary Stottlemyer bequeaths to Ruth Hayes her position as Mr. Hartle’s office “keeper” and secretary. Richard Winters, known around Smiths- burg High School as “Dick”, leaves his bass voice to Joseph Newcomer. Miriam Kline gives her dancing ability to Dorothy Smith. It’s a great pastime and lots of fun. Dorothy. Leslie Happel bequeaths his good looks and winning ways with the faculty to that “Jolly Junior,” Jesse Garrison. Virginia Laspe leaves her blond hair to Joyce Dayhoff. I think you’ll like the change. Joyce. Honora Wolf bequeaths her individual walk to Betty Stottlemyer. Don’t walk the halls too much, Betty. Helen Kline wills her blue eyes and fair complexion to Frances Green. Catherine Deal, better known as “Cass,” beoueaths her way with the boys to Rachel Gearhart. After all, Rachel, we may as well make use of leap year. Edgar Myers leaves his artist’s accomplish- ments to Helen Needy. Buelah Walter gives her ability to obtain “ads” for the “High News” from Waynesboro to Edward Bachtell.
