Text from Pages 1 - 28 of the 1943 volume:

PREFACE It is with a feeling of pardonable pride and joy that we, the Seniors of 1943, present this High News to you. If in the years to come, it aids you in remembering your high school days at S. H. S., our intent will have been real- ized. To the members of the Class of '43, who are and will be in the service of Uncle Sam, we proudly dedicate the Graduation Number. Parie 1 FACULTY First row (left to right)—Mrs. Kinna, Miss Weller, Miss Shockey, Miss Parks, Mrs. lesher, Mrs. Gross, Mrs. Mann. Second row—Miss Jenkins, Miss Davis, Mr. Haynes, Mr. Martin, Mr. Remsberg, Mr. Hartle, Mr. Rohrbaugh, Miss Noel, and Miss Schroyer. The Principal's Message I feel that I should write a few words to the Senior Class of 1943. Through the four years at Smithsburg High School, you, as a whole, cooperated splendidly with the faculty, student body, and the com- munity. You worked diligently to gain those experiences in com- munity life, in extra curricular activities, and in the art of study, which have developed leaders in the class. The student body, I am sure, also profited by your leadership and wise judgments. You have left upon them many cherished recollections. I feel that the class has the caliber to go forth in these troubled times to show the many friends here at Smithsburg your patriotism and determination to give your best to our country. I wish all of you success wherever you go.

This strength has led him into many extra curriculum activities—athletics, High News business manager, Glee Club, orchestra— in them all he is invaluable. “Muse of the many twinkling feet Capable to her fingertips but partial to the Navy is June Whitmer. She's done a lot as assistant editor of the High News. Like two gentlemen rolled into one He blushes when he forgets something. That makes it hard for the spectators. But in that lies Donald Bollinger's charm. Some credit in being jolly Charlotte Mong's generous nature is just one of her many fine qualities. Always cheerful, always willing to help, gives a hint as to why her company is attractive. “Give thy thoughts no tongue” In Kenneth Needy we have one of the more reticent members of the class. Besides keeping up with his classes, Kenneth worked nightly in one of our defense factories. Tis neither here nor there How one person can find time enough for so many varied activities is a mystery! Christine Olson was active in music, scholastic work, the library, sports—all with no show of strain. A nice man is a man of nasty ideas” Carefree! Lester Davis has the strange ability to shirk school tasks. But because of I ester, the class is an all-around one. am a part of all that I have met Have you heard Betty Tressler's spon- taneous laugh? She seldom lacks something at which to laugh. She is one of the most versatile of the class, whether it's singing or soliciting ads. A bold bad man A mischievous nature has brought Con- way Flohr some trouble but none serious. He'll go a long way as a soldier—and hus- band. My heart is true as steel LaNono Hahn, the athlete and the girl with the golden locks, dazzles the eyes of a soldier. Better late than never Albert Kretsinger, the class jester, likes net only athletics but also cigars. This boy could cause more trouble and get away with it than any other person. “Variety's the very spice of life Frances Green's brown eyes are always sparkling. No matter how serious the con- versation, she adds a twist or turn to en- liven it. As the High News editor and cafeteria cashier, Frances was very efficient. ‘‘.4 lion among ladies is the most dreadful thing It isn't everybody who can be hail-fellow- well-met and still possess a capacity for se- rious work as James Smith. He was prom- inent in the Glee Club, High News and class activities. “As good as a play Number, please, says Phyllis Slick. Be- sides acting as telephone relief operator, Phyllis found time to be active in class work cmd extra curriculum. Page 5 “Jack shall pipe, and Jill shall dance” Jack Hartle's specialty was music. As a trumpet player he was superb1 Before en- listing in the Army, Jack was active in all phases of school life. Brevity is the soul of wit Clso Toms was seldom heard and seen about so much because of her size. But great things come in small packages. He tried the luxury of doing good Carroll Wyand, better known as Brick because of his flaming red hair, joined the Armed Forces in March. To his classmates. Brick's greatest quality was friendliness. “Always merry and bright” Someone's going to be lucky some day because of the cooking Grace Weaver learned in Home Economics. “I am sure care's an enemy to life Every class has its Romeo. This time in the person of that handsome six-footer, Quinn Fogle. If he isn't in Smithsburg, he's in Chewsville. The ladies protest too much mcthinks Earl Bachtell proved his mettle in basket- ball, baseball, and football this year. He served as class secretary during the year. “W hate er he did was done with so much ease” The motto, Slow but sure belongs to Richard Jacques. While at S. H. S. before joining the Air Corps, he had many friends by being one. “Compare great things with small V. The longer you have known Eileen Pryor, the better you like her. Her cooperation at S. H. S. was noted. “Come give us a taste of your quality Leroy Fleagle has always aroused our curiosity because of his visits to Waynes- boro. “Turn over a new leaf To Betty Stottlemyer belongs the epitaph, unassuming, because she goes along life's way so freely. I am the very pink of courtesy” Jane Hauver was never flustered; in fact she'd be nonchalant in an earthquake. Jane contributed much to the class through her willingness to cooperate. “All mankind loves a lover Many Jap ships to you, Floyd! When Floyd Gearhart left S. H. S. for the Navy in March, he left behind many acquaintances through his engaging personality. “A few strong instincts and a few plain rides” The main trait of Marybelle Boswell is taking life as it comes. When you see that twinkle in her eye, you know she's ready for any fun that comes along. “No woman ever loved me. never in my whole life” As a gob it's superfluous to predict success for John Moore. His temperament is varied and spicy. Page 6 JUNIOR CLASS Front row (left to right)—Kotrishio Trite, Mary Ann Kipe, Agnes Funk (secretary), Raymond Smith (president), Etta Shockey (treasurer).

Page 7 SCHOOL DAYS Hey, kids—wait a minute before you go out of the school house doors for a last time. Come back. Can you remember these inci- dents? In September, 1939, 49 fearful Freshmen swallowed hard and walked boldly into room 26. Everything was new to us — subjects, schedules, teachers, even the students. The upperclassmen seemed like beasts, especial- ly when initiation time came around. But before long, we got into the “groove and we were showing our “elders” that it wasn’t easy to “tramp our toes.” Remember the Halloween Party? That’s right—it rained— “nope”—it poured. And that idiotic “Sears ar.d Roebuck Catalogue” Wedding! Just how often was Floyd’s bicycle locked up because he treated all the girls after school? Of course, it didn’t break him of the habit. And that Algebra class meant more head- aches than enough for both teachers and pupils. Anyway, that’s where June learned not to make a snoot at the principal. Wasn’t that the year that we had the Valentine Party that was postponed three times? Yep —and someone ate part of the candy ahead of time. You see—there are “oodles” of things to remember about our first year in high school. Then came our Sophomore year. Two girls turned into the Brenda and Cobina of the class—and honestly it seemed their chatter never ceased all year. Cupid, Jr., kept things moving, too. The boys were always discover- ing a sweet new “dish”—and the girls had just met someone who was “simply divine” (for about three weeks). There were several successful dances—Christmas and St. Pat- rick’s. A few of the “twinkle toes” of the class showed up. Remember how delighted we were when our boys formed a swing band. Naturally it was the best thing that has happened to S. H. S. for ages. I bet none of us have forgotten that Truth and Conse- quence Assembly. Golly—but that was fun. That year ended with a class gathering at Caledonia and Cold Springs. The fall of 1941 found us jolly Juniors back to the “ole grind.” Eight of the simple- minded souls went on a straw ride on one of the rainiest nights of the season. (Talk about drips)!!—and those horrible “teddy- bear” haircuts the boys wore. Something new had been added—you know—those dime dances. YVe all brought outside friends and had a dancing good time. “Gosh,” didn’t we make large profits from chancing off those turkeys? And the prom—it was really “snaz- zy” plus and I don’t mean perhaps. It was just as much fun getting ready for as hav- ing it, too. But honestly, I thought some of us wrould have crepe paper nightmares. Jack should remember the day after when a mob of us went in a dilapidated milk truck to his house. What did his mother say when she discovered the tobacco under the rug? After we’d enjoyed an all-day trip to the Gettys- burg Battlefield, we parted to spend our vacations in a variety of ways. September we were back together ready for the last drive. It seems this year has been fuller than any before, but perhaps that’s because of the seriousness of the world. The boys worked long and faithfully on their scrap drives. And gee—who could forget the “On to Victory” Show? Then Jack, Dee, and Carroll left for the Army. Golly, w’e missed them—in fact, we still do. Remember our Farewell Party for them—in spite of our “low” feelings we had a good time. Mrs. Black left us at the same time. Then wre lost Floyd to the Navy. Of course we still have fun—but it’s not the same. Doesn’t taffy always taste better when you know you shouldn’t be eating it? Despite the shortage of chewing gum, we Seniors always have a supply. I know we’ll miss the library. It’s “ole” walls have seen more one-act dramas than theatergoers. The unorganized dance practices — these boys just won’t dance! I won’t keep you any longer because I know that each one of you is eager to step onto your future threshhold. Best of luck, classmates, it’s been fun reminiscing.

S., being of sound min 1 and firm body, do hereby make and publish our last will and testament. As a student body, we bequeath to the Junior Class our dignity and the authority to dominate the lowerclassmen. To Mr. Haynes we leave our profound admiration and ever-enduring friendship. A bouquet of thankfulness and appreciation for their help in pulling us through is bestowed upon the faculty. Individually we make these bequeathals: To the basketball teams of next year. La Nona Hahn and Earl Bachtell hand down their ability to make goals. Richard Masters wills his curly locks to Mr. Rohrbaugh. Mary Ann Kipe becomes the heiress to Phyllis Slick’s gift of gab. Jack Hartle wills his deep bass voice to Carl Kipe. It should be a great help in next year’s Glee Club. To the teachers, Grace Weaver leaves her tinkling bells so that the stu- dents will be able to tell how near the teachers are. Betty Stottlemyer bequeaths her attendance record to Agnes Funk. Upon Albert Cline is bestowed Cairoll Wyand’s fiery red hair. S. H. S. just can’t get along without a red head. John Moore leaves Luella, with orders to handle carefully, to Don Werde- baugh. Kenneth Needy gives his peaceable disposition to Bill Winders. To Caroline Olson, Cleo Toms wills her small stature. Mr. Martin falls heir to Conway Flohr’s fire-fighting ability. Donald Bollinger bestows his retiring nature upon Preston Flohr so that the girls can have some peace. The running ability of Albert Kretsinger is handed down to John Kel- baugh. Richard Jacques’ slow walk and lazy manner of speaking is left to Ver- non Brown. Lester Davis bequeaths his popularity with the girls to Francis Rouse. Bill Smith is willed Quinn Fogle’s permit to Chewsville. Mary Belle Boswell leaves her tomboyish ways with Vivian Walter. To Betty June Biser, Betty Tressler confers her melodious giggle. Christine Olson wishes to present her turned-up nose to Gamma Lee Doyle. June Whitmer bestows her hep cat methods to Rosie Kretsinger. Her cheerful, “Ipana” smile, Charlotte Mong presents to Frances Royer. To anyone who has a knack for bearing burdens, Frances Green surren- ders her boyfriends. James Smith bequeaths his Hitler hairdo to Robert Green. Floyd Gearhart grants his winning way with the women to Delbert Smith. To Donald Fleagle, Leroy Fleagle leaves his numerous trips to Waynes- boro. Eileen Pryor leaves her good-natured smile to Zelda Grove. Jane Hauver bestows her willingness to cooperate to Freddie Heiston. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1943, the testators, have to this will set our hands and seal, this first day of June, one thousand nine hundred and forty-three.

Michigan, June 11, 1953. Mr. Richard Masters. Principal, Smithsburg High School, Smithsburg, Maryland. Dear Mr. Masters: The whereabouts of our fellow classmates has always been a personal concern of mine, and on this tenth anniversary, 1 have a record of the progress of the group. Smithsburg High School certainly has grown under your guidance—our Alma Mater prints its own school paper, raises all food for cafe- teria use, has movable movie apparatus in all the classrooms, a sick room with a nurse avail- able at all times, a traveling cafeteria, sound- proof rooms, etc. My work, selling “prefab” houses, takes me all over the country—so I have at various places met many former classmates. 1 happened upon Leroy Fleagle at Newark, where I learned he had perfected a type of window that is unbreakable — keeps out dust and allows the vitamin rays of the sun to en- ter. Quinn Fogle is making a name for himself in his movie career. You probably saw the pre- view to his last picture via television. I visited a beauty saloon in Philadelphia, operated by Eileen Pryor and Grace Weaver. The work was all done on a belt which carries the person through a series of machines, oper- ated by the girls. It requires only a few min- utes for one to secure a permanent and a man- icure. Jack Hartle, who has long replaced Marc Warren as a band leader, recently fulfilled an appointment at the Stork Club in New York City. Lester Davis travels daily from Miami to Peru to give vocal lessons to his classes there. He pilots his plane that makes the trip in an hour. John Moore always loved hunting and to this day you can find him greatly absorbed in this sport. John has a pair of collapsible wings that carry him quickly to any part of the district where he is hunting. Richmond. Virginia, claims Betty Stottle- myer as one of its best secretaries. Betty owns a typewriter and chair combination that she uses on her way to and from work so she won’t lose any time. In St. Louis, Missouri, Kenneth Needy, the agent for Fairchild Aircraft Company, is help- ing with plans for an auto-airplane. He is cer- tainly going places. Floyd Gearhart, an ex-Navy radio man, is now directing television transmission at WJEJ. Out on the West Coast, Richard Jacques, ev- eryone’s friend, is now in charge of the air- I ort, which is the terminal for all Pacific trans oceanic travel. At the same field I found Charlotte Mong, now stewardess on a plane that flies non-stop from California to India. Carroll Wyand, chief of the ground crew, works on the great eight-motored transports. Carroll was in the Army Air Corps, remember? Oh, yes. Frances Green and Juno Whitmer, two glamour girls from the United States, are in South America on a good will tour! Their charm will certainly help to keep friendly rela- tions in the Americas. Jane Hauver owns the new all-glass en- closed flower house where prize flowers are grown under special lamps. Jane has many cups and ribbons for her flowers. Yesterday James Smith returned in his heli- copter from Germany where he helped in the reconstruction of industry after the war. In New York the other day, 1 met Christine Olson on her way to the new open air amphi- theater which thousands pack to hear her sing. Albert Kretsinger has just run a four-min- ute mile at Madison Square Garden. Remember how he could run when he attended school? You know those new major league baseball teams for girls? Guess who is the leading pitcher? None other than La Nono Hahn, our old schoolmate. She looks like a twenty-game winner this year. The chief of the fleet of the new super fire- engines in St. Louis turned out to be Conway Flohr who has worked out a plan for fighting fires with a new chemical he has compounded. Marybelle Boswell and Donald Bollinger, collaborating as nurse and physician, are mak- ing international tours demonstrating their new infantile paralysis treatment. According to the patients they have cured, their positions in the world are well established. The ultra-modern decorating establishment located on Fifth Avenue in New York City was created by Betty Tressler. She has made ador- able little cubbyholes out of the penthouses in the two hundred story all-glass skyscraper. Cleo Toms, attired in a white synthetic wood lab coat, came out of her plastic laboratory long enough to tell me of the latest develop- ments of the run-proof tissue paper dresses, when I called on her. On Capitol Hill in Washington, I dined re- cently with the former Phyllis Slick and her husband, an ambassador for the United States of Europe. She has made a hobby of collecting freaks from the different countries. This space isn’t sufficient to tell you all the data I have collected. Come up for dinner Fri- day evening—let’s say seven-thirty—at the St. George. Catch that six o’clock plane out of Smithsburg. Sincerely yours, Earl Bachtell.
