Write-ups for the paper were assigned to each member. A definite date was set each time for the articles to be turned in to Mrs. Manning, who checked them. This year, for the first time, a syndicate was not used and the paper was increased to 16 pages. The ‘‘High News” was delivered or sent to its 135 subscribers and 15 boys in the armed forces who attended Smithsburg High School. During the past year the staff published seven issues. Page S3

ADVISORY BOARD In September, 1944, thirteen pre-elected class representatives assembled in Mr. Hartle’s office to start the school year 1944-45. The meeting was called to order by the president, Jean Weaver. Elayne Dayhoff, Doris Barnhart, Mae Smith, and Jean Weaver had been selected to represent the Seniors, while Lucille Gaver and Charles Guessford presented the Juniors’ problems. Betty Bachtell and Preston Happel were the Sophomores’ choice and Eilene Reecher and Elwood Hauver were the Freshman’s. Josephine Smith and Gene Cowan were the eighth grade representatives, while Curtis Wolfe, the lone seventh grader. With the help of Mr. Hartle, the advisor, and the faculty, the group discussed and settled many problems concerning the cafeteria, general fund, bond sales, paper drives, scrap drives, etc. When Elayne Dayhoff suggested a “Teen Age Canteen,” in the auditorium, the Advisory Board unanimously agreed to sponsor one as soon as pos- sible. The main objective was to keep younger children off the streets at night by providing this place of recreation and fun. The first canteen was held November 1, and since then four additional ones have been held. Dancing, square dancing, bin- go. card games, and refreshments were the high- lights of enjoyment for all those who attended. In April, the Advisory Board met to appoint officers for the forthcoming year. Scott Pryor was appointed President and Lucille Gaver the Vice President. The Secretary and Treasurer will be appointed next fall. Page 22

Library Club The Library, supervised by Mrs. Manning, has formed a new organization entitled the “Library Club.’’ Its chief purpose is to promote a better understanding between pupils and assistant librarians. The club is of a great benefit to the school. The members have cooperated whole heartedly in the improvements of the library by making new rules to abide by, collecting dues which they have spent wisely on materials needed for the library. As a social group, they plan a party some time before the closing of school. A meet- ing is held monthly, where they discuss problems which may arise concerning the Library. Lorraine Gearhart was chosen President; Roy Boswell, social chairman; and Betty Kendall, secretary and treasurer. I’age 2A
