Meet the Class of 1943 PRESIDENT RICHARD MASTERS VICE PRESIDENT............DONALD BOLLINGER SECRETARY EARL BACHTEIL TREASURER.....................JAMES SMITH HOME-ROOM REPRESENTATIVE.......QUINN FOGLE Motto: EACH ONE IS THE ARCHITECT OF HIS OWN FORTUNE Color: ROSE and SILVER Flower: AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE The world knows nothing of Us greatest men” The class president, Richard Masters, has strength of character that is most admirable. 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
