SMITH’S POLL FADS AND FASHIONS 1 his article will be a regular feature in the school paper, each month quoting ten persons opinions on a question relating, directly or indirectly, to the students and teachers. So off to a rolling start— What is the cause for so much misunderstanding between classes in S.H.S. ? The girls gossip!—Robert Smith 1 here are too many students who enter an activity for what they themselves can get out of it rather than working together for the benefit of the whole group—Elwood Hauver Too many people talk too much, and there is too much jealousy between the classes as a whole and between certain individuals-Robert Eckstine Jealousy and .lack of coperation—Leslie Leathers Jealousy—Jean Smith Certain people in certain classes try to run the school—Dot Kuhn Disagreements and jealousy—Ruth Fleagle Lack of cooperation—Barbara Potts 1 he higher classes think they can rule the school —Aldene Johnson Certain seniors!—Anonymous OUR CLUBS Debating Club: For the first time in the history of S.H.S. a debating club has been formed under the supervi- sion of Rev. Francis Bell. Elected president was Mary Anna Brislin and secretary (Nancy Dwyer. Membership is eligible to students of the eighth grade and up. At the present time speaking in public is the general theme, both extemporanious and prepared speeches have been given. The Club has adopted the Juno as its name. The Juno was a Debating Club founded by Benjamin Franklin in the early history of oui country. English Club: The members of the 8A English class have formed an English club to which all students belong. Each week a member of the club is elected secre- tary and another member president. A member must serve first as secretary before he is eligible for the office of president. A regular business meeting is conducted at the beginning of each class. Each member serves in both offices some- time or other. By doing this, each student is familiar with parliamentary procedure so if he or she is elected to an office in a certain organ- ization he or she will know how to conduct a business meeting properly. Is your Dad a nery religious man? Oh yes, he hates everyone that doesn’t belong to our church. Now that warm Spring days are here again our ever faithful Sloppy Joes and plaid shirts and skirt3 are packed away in mothballs, waiting for another year . Cotton prints, broomstick skirts, and blouses have taken their place and are back in swing again. Speaking of broomstick skirts, have you seen those snazzy cap sleeve blouses the Home Ec. girls made to wear with theirs? “Stuff Like That There seems to be a hit with the Juniors and Seniors. Hair-dos are outstanding too. Up-sweeps and braids seem to be the choice of most girls. Low heels are high fashion this Spring. Top flat-tery are Betty Bachtell's ballet slippers. Mary Susan is sporting clever black and white plastic shoes. 1 hey are really shoe-nuff. For Dress-up three-quarter toppers with deep armholes and collarless necklines are really on parade. Derbies, pokc-bonets, half-hats, and flow- er bands hold their own in the head gear. Wtih all this talk of the Daisy Maes we haven't forgotten the L’il Abners. The boys seem to show off their loud socks and loafers by wearing their pants legs up a couple rolls. They have also turned to two-toned shirts—and how's about those nifty multi-colored shirts that Donnys been sporting? They re neat—neat—really all-reet. EASTER ASSEMBLY On Wednesday, April I 7, an Easter assembly was held in the auditorium. The 8B class pre- sented two short plays— Left Out by the girls, and After Twenty Years” by the boys. Several vocal selections were rendered by the junior Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. Seibert. A poem titled An Easter Canticle” was read by Louella Gardenhour. The origin of the Easter egg and rab- bit was given by Charles Slick. A Quartet, Louella Gardenhour, Betty Bachtell, Joyce Smith and Betty ltnyer sang Easter Parade.’ ' A poem entitled Nature’s Easter Music’ was read by Joyce Smith. History of Easter was presented by Louise Weaipe. Anouncements were made concerning the new rules for lunch hour. The program was ended with group tinging. LETS SCOOP AN EYE ON SOME NICK NAMES Skippy—Regina Barkdoll Blondie—Peggy Reecher Russian—Robert Brown Snuffy—Paul Spessard Knuck—Marvin Hahn Shrimp—Richard Toms Hank—Frank Harris Thanks A Lot Kids We the members of the future “High News ’ staff wish to thank the former staff for the splendid work they did.

The first portion of the program was devoted to the Bible reading, Lord's Prayer, pledge to the flag, and the singing of our national anthem. The boys, performing first, were under the di- rection of Mr. Rohrbaugh, who announced each actiivty. Pat Durham, Robert Kretsinger, and Grover Hughes participated in special stunts—Pat setting the rope climbing record for Smithsburg High Schol. The ninth grade boys concluded with various types of tumbling. Rose Kretsinger, Joyce Wolfe, and Jean Potts cartwheeled the entire length of the stage, did the backbend, and the latter stood on her head on a chair. As the curtain opened on the next act, the eighth grade girls were in marching formation, dressed in white and wine short, blouses and anklets. After doing a stirring march, they assembled and sang America. Marches being prominent, the freshmen and sophomore girls did a more advanced one to con- clude the girl's part of the program. The cheerleaders then lead the student body in our school song. LEAMANS SEED STORE HOME FURNISHING STORE Seeds — Feeds Wallpaper — Lineoleum Spray Material Re-Upholstering
