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

 Now Carrie, Don't you dare tell a word of this but the way 1 hear it, things certainly are going some here at Smithsburg High School. We had a dance called “The Spring Frolic and everytime our girl vocalist sang Miss Downey danced with her boy friend. Maybe they have a share your man trade. Kuhn is still giving Ambrose the run. Too bad. No wonder the poor boy is so thin. Some of those Highfield girls really like Camp Ritchie, don't they? It’s a pity they’re closing it down. That Beard and Fleagle certainly have a striking friendship. Why bother ? Everything’s fixed when he gives out chewing gum anyway. Bowman’s still after those Smithsburg girls and Stouffer is always interferring. It’s too bad Wempe can't keep her man. 1 suggest she get one that isn’t in the Junior class. Oh brother, here comes Mr. Hartle—I'd better scoot out of here and get back to class be- fore he catches me. So long and remember--------don't say a word. Gravel Gertie WE WONDER: 1. What the Seniors will be doing next year at rhis time ? 2. How Dolly rates an orchid plus a bracelet for Easter? 3. If Toms will really be principal when Mr. Hartle retires? 4. How Nancy and Carol came in contact with those two Nuns on their trip to Baltimore? 5. If it were just a practice kiss between Brislin and Hauver that day in room 29? 6. Why there will be on Leopard this year? 7. If the telephone pole really did jump out in front of Eckstine, or if there was another reason that the car and pole met? 8. How Helen Forrest rates a fellow with such a good-loking car? 9. What started the spark between Jean Rowe and Taber? 10. If Louella has met that certain fellow from Gettysburg College yet? 1 I. Whos’ taking who to the prom? 12. Who was the first to start wearing one of those many but cute blouses that we see floating through the halls every day? I 3. If Bowman will end up being a preacher? 14. If next year’s juniors and seniors will be more friendly than this year's? We hope. 15. Why Fahney” prefers a brunette to a blonde? 16. What happened to the flourishing romance between Dick Huff and Lela Thomas? J. P. KISECKER REAL ESTATE — INSURANCE Penny Bldg. Waynesboro, Pennsylvania INQUIRING REPORTER Now that we are back from our long Easter vacation (not long enough) 1 thought 1 would ask some of the students How they enjoyed their vacation?
