F lower—Ga rden ia Colors—Lavender and White Few members of the Class of '44 have more friends than Mary Biser—the fact is probably to be accounted for by her ability to get along well with people. Parti- cipation in all sports, with good work in the Glee Club, balanced her interests. When we think of music we always think of Agnes Funk. But other activities claim her attention—presi- dent of the Advisory Board, and assistant editor of the High News, and those favorite pastimes—eating and giggling. When the final roll is called and the merits are awarded, Zelda Grove will be right there. That's just her nature—the jobs that no one else wants! As a helper in the principal's office she was very valuable. Dependable — that's Lorena Forrest — witness the regularity of all her work! As a nurse, the future has a great place for her. Class of 44 Known as a good basketball player and Johnnie's best girl, Katrishia Trite came to us in the Sophomore year and immediately established herself as an in- teresting personality. Pearl Stottlemyer, a demure modest maiden, was a faithful cafeteria worker and a lover of Home Eco- nomics. We wish her the best of luck in whatever she does. The High News is very much indebted to Etta Shockey for her time spent in typing. Bes:des being very fond of dancing, Etta has excellent ideas about dressing. As a future Navy wife she should be very efficient. As Alumni editor, Gwen Hays proved to be a val- uable asset to the staff. Let someone mention dancing and watch her beam and Hop to it . This happy- go-lucky blonde always carries laughter wherever she goes. Jacquolyn Miller is a slim brunette and Etta's pal. Because she was interested in flower arrangement, she worked on the side in a flower shop. Good luck to you, Jacky, when you join the Air Motor Transport Corps! Margaret Thomas is one of those meek individuals who knows more than she expresses, but underneath Page 5

her apparent demureness, there's an abundant store of fun. Besides serving as editor of the school paper, Margaret discharged the duties of secretary, vice- president, and president of the class during her years. As business manager of the 1944 school paper, Harlan Hoover was an efficient worker. For four years he was an earnest athlete. Now he's Seaman 1 c in the Navy Reserve. For his active participation in sports and his will- ingness to cooperate with the class, Fredie Heiston will be remembered. His special yearn for a Junior girl was his main weakness . The tallest member of the class, the class clown, and Romeo, Senior class president, and an outstand- ing center of the '44 basketball season sums up Preston Flohr's activities around S.H.S. Billie Winders was an Advisory Board member and will be the future farmer of the class. This very friendly boy and lover of fun is also known for his Frank Sinatra locks . Besides attending school regularly, Bill Smith was very faithful to the Sanitary Cash Grocery. Bill's good constitution enabled him to play excellent ath- letics. He is now on the Navy Reserve list. Donald Fleagle is one of the gobs of the Senior class who graduated midyear. He supplied the boys with many good laughs and always had a grin for everyone. Another mid-year graduate, John Kelbaugh, is sta- tioned at the Naval Boot Camp at Bainbridge. John was a willing worker in the school cafeteria. With a way of his own, but admired and liked by all, he is certain never to lack friends. Albert Kline is known for his delight for arguments, especially with Doris. He served as treasurer of the F.F.A. during the Senior year. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps and will be colled when he becomes 18. Junior Smith, a mid year graduate, is a member of the United States Army at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Francis Rouse, a Marine stationed at Parris Island, was another of the midyear graduates. While a Senior at S.H.S., he was cafeteria cashier and ex- celled in Chemistry—a scientist to the core! This shy boy never flirted with the girls. Charles Maclay, an enlistee in the Naval Reserves, has a great liking for blondes and red heads. The last half o fthe Senior year he served as president of the F.F.A. He also took an active part in basket- ball and football. During the first half of the Senior year, Frank Newcomer was president of the F.F.A. This active worker in the 4-H Club completed his Senior work February 1. Howard Ridge, the boy who always had a unique nick-name, was bugler in the American Legion Bugle Corps. He, too, volunteered for the Naval Reserves. Raphael Reynolds is a very quiet and seemingly shy member of the class. However, it was not unusual to see him talking to certain Freshman girls. May his four years at S.H.S. be of utmost benefit to him! Class Song Tune of Semper Paratus Well, here's the class of '44, We always bring up the score. We learned to fight With all our might And to promote the right. So we have finally made the grade. Our speeches all are made, And now we go The world our foe; We can win through Is what we've shown.
