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. Page H
