Class Reunion Am the night of June 11. 1952, rolls around, we find a little group—twenty-four in number —of men and women somewhere in their late twenties gathered on the grounds of S.H.S. renewing old friendships and reliving the fun of their “good old golden-rule days As they converse we catch fragments of their talk that identifies them as the class of '42 of Smiths- burg High School. One progressive member of the gathering tells an exciting adventure experienced on his 1000 acre ranch. Of course everyone remem- bers “Ted” Wade. We see by the papers that Joyce Dayhoff and Edna Leather are managing a nursing home located in the beautiful suburbs of Smithsburg. But what's this discussion about greater efficiency in the shops? “Billy” Huff, chief machinist at the Landis Tool Company, is pres- ent. and don’t say he doesn’t know! Arlene McGlaughlin has put her typing aside and now’ resides in Baltimore as Mrs. Richard Pryor, but she didn’t overlook the reunion. There seems to be quite a commotion in Cavetown, but w’e knew’ Eugene Frey eventu- ally w’ould be installed as minister of the Re- formed Church. Didn’t Eugene have a brother who—? Yes, James Frey, “well-to-do” farmer, has been re- ceiving annual prizes on his farm crops since he began managing his own farm back in 1948. Broadway has its representative in our midst and as a noisy, attractive comedian comes forward, all our thoughts fly back to a certain stout girl, Dorothy Smith, who is now contemplating settling down in a country nook. After his three years’ experience at Fair- child Aircraft, Emory Doyle is employed as a teacher of mechanics in a large high school in New York. Despite his position, his heart still belongs to Cavetown, his home. There’s a petite young woman knitting in- dustriously. Mrs.......what’s the name? Oh, you graduated as Geraldine Lentz. As the wife of Captain George Sherman. Irene Smith resides at a southern army post where she is rapidly requiring a southern accent. “Rawly!” Gerald Brown is Smithsburg’s expert “soda jerker.” That reminds us, we’re hungry! Since his graduation from Strayer’s Busi- ness College and his five years’ experience as a public accountant. Nevin Funk couldn’t resist the urge to settle down in his home town as the clever manager of the Funk’s Wholesale Company. Nevin never could be fooled when it came to food—be it in buying or devouring. Ruth Ross has just strolled by and she is not alone. No trooping by her side is a darling three-year-old child—somebody else’s, not her own. She is the beloved superintendent of a popular nursery home. Lucile Olson is the capable supervisor of music of the Washington County Schools. Na- turally she prefers visiting S.H.S. to any other school in the county. What’s that queer machine that just blew’ in? Why, it’s one of th se streamlined convert- ible airplane-automobile contraptions just out. Joseph Newcomer, the owner, has discarded his model-T, because he really has to travel on his new’ job as county agent. Betty Kuhn is happily married to George Marcroni, restaurant owfner and importer of strong cheese. The Metropolitan Choir has granted Mary Jeanette Beard a w’eek’s leave from her busy schedule as the leading alto of the company. Edward Bachtell, experienced in many lines, now holds a profitable position as a night club bouncer in Baltimore. The nation’s No. 1 “beater-outer” is none other than our jolly class mate, Robert Bar- rick, w’ho directs the most popular dance band in the land. His drumming sets the jitterbugs “a-jumpin’.” From McCrory’s Five and Dime has come a pleasant young woman, Dorothy Kline. How do the ribbons sell, Dorothy? Louise Wolfe, as Mrs. Howard Branden- burg, is making good use of her Home Eco- nomics Course. Brides can make good biscuits and “Wolfie” proves the fact. Wasn’t there someone else in the class w’ho was interested in girls in general and one in particular? That was Junior Kline, and sure enough, here he is with Virginia. What a handsome couple they make! Instead of a 1937 “Chevie,” a 1952 Cadillac comes to a stop in front of the building. As the chauffeur helps the lady out, we recognize Frances Barkdoll who used to think that the “Chevie” was alright. “Good evening, everybody. This is WJEP’s gossip commentator bringing you the talk of the town.” And as the radio program featuring Louise Kuhn signs off, each of the twenty-five members of the class of ’42 has been ac- counted for.

1942 Bequeathals The Senior Class of '42 wants the under-graduates of Smithsburg High School ‘.o feel that they are now in full command of all activities that might occur during their remaining stay at good ole S. H. S. Their authority, responsibilities, and right to Room 29 is surrendered by the Seniors to those occupants of Room 24. We Seniors hope that the following which have been willingly left by the graduates will help to overcome the challenging problems ahead. Frances Barkdoll wills her singing ability to Jane Hauver. His blue and red Chevie is surrendered by Edward Bachtell io Preston Flohr so that it will be the only car to visit the Olson home. Emory Doyle's mechanical skill is left to Dorothy Harbaugh.

To Agnes Funk, Joyce Dayhoff wills her slim features. His rhythmic drumming talent is bequeathed by Bob Barrick to Jimmy Hoover. Eugene Frey's determination to become a minister is bestowed upon a Sopho- more, Edwin Delauter.
