Four Years of Memories Early in September, 1938, fifty-two backward Freshmen entered the doors of good ole Smithsburg High. They elected as their president, Roland Sprecker, who was assisted by Lucille Olson with Ira Arnsparger acting as secretary-treasurer Due to the class' size, it was divided into two sections—the vocational students in one division and the academic students in the other. Several members who became dissatisfied while Freshmen were among the missing when the Sophomore year began. The class was governed the first semester by Richard Jacques, president; Roland Sprecker, vice-president; and Arlene Mc- Glaughlin, secretary-treasurer. Pupils from the Sophomore class took a great in- terest in helping to present the operetta, The Lady Says Yes, one of the main events of the year. Before the end of the year, another election was held with re- sults as follows; Nevin Funk, president; Joseph Newcomer, vice-president; Arlene McGlaughlin, secretary-treasurer. The Junior year proved to be an interesting one for the class. Shakespeare began to hove his effect upon the jolly Juniors as they read his works in English. An operetta, The Outlaw King, cast several members of the class in leading parts. Then as the year drew to a close, everyone fell to the task of preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom. A red, white, and blue color scheme predominated in the gymnasium which was decorated like a steamship. Programs in the shape of steamships made souvenirs to be kept always as a memory of our Prom which was very successful, thank goodness! At the close of the third year in high school, one of our classmen. Joseph Newcomer, won two essay contest awards—one for an essay on What Uncle Sam Means to Me and the other for a theme on 'What the American Democracy Means to Me. The officers of the Junior year were Arlene McGlaughlin, president; Lucile Olson, vice-president; Joyce Dayhoff, secre- tary-treasurer; Joseph Newcomer, class representative. September, 1941, rolling around much too quickly, found 25 Seniors full of enthusiasm as they buckled down for the home stretch. William Huff was elected president; Edward Bachtell, vice-president; Frances Barkdoll, secretory-treasurer; Lucile Olson, class representative. This year has been one of never-to-be-forgotten memories. A new system was set up in the cafeteria with the Seniors in charge of the various tables. William Huff was elected chairman and Louise Wolfe, secretary of the organization that has greatly aided in promoting a neat and orderly dining -oom. The class was proud to claim the winner of the competitive scholarship to Strayer's Business College. This fortunate Senior was Nevin Funk. Due to world conditions and war-time activities, the annual Senior play was not presented. The history of the class of '42 is nearing its end here, but merely beginning out there! Moffo . . .
