F.F.A. NEWS The F.F.A. has challenged the rest of the school to a basket-ball game. There have been several practice games between the classes to choose the best players for the team. On Tuesday, February 26, the Freshman played the Sophomores, Sopho- mores winning. The Juniors played the Seniors, and the Juniors won the game. The Sophomores were the outstanding players as a grade, so the choosing of the players for the F. F. A. team was turned over to them. The players were as follows: Center—Donald Warrenfeltz, Right forward— Ray Harbaugh, Left forward—John Werdebaugh, Right guard—Preston Happel, Left guard—Dick McCrea. Substitutes — John Stouffer, Pat Durham and Lloyd Kline. The game was played on March 19. Yells and cheers were heard from all directions. Our F. F. A. team won with a score of 43 to 27. The same idea is being carried through in softball. The Juniors and Seniors have chosen one team out of both grades, due to the fact that there are not enough in either grade for a team. SPOTLIGHTS OF CYAS The Christian Youth Association of Smithsburg was organized in November, 1945 to create more fellowship between interdenominations of our vi- cinity. They have completed several worthwhile projects, one being the movie “Life of St. Paul” that was shown in S.H.S. auditorium on April 28. The proceeds which amounted to $41 were sent to the United Church Relief for foreign missions. F y rotating social and religious meetings throughout the year, the schedule is filled with clean fun for all youth. The CYCS, the governing body, consists of thir- teen representatives from different parishes, two laymen, and two ministers. This council meets monthly and plans, discusses, and helps make a successful activity out of every one undertaken. This organization proves beneficial to all mem- bers and they are waiting for more youth of Smiths- burg to join them.

 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.

Betty Lou Itnyre, the mistress of ceremonies was kept busy finding the couple who was on the spot, for the spot dance The couple who was on the chosen spot when the music stopped was given a prize. There were many other dances, such as the Black-out, Multiplication, Paul Jones and round dances. A door prize of six fluffy’ 'chicks was given to Betty Gearhart who had the lucky number. Refreshments of all kinds were sold. The Spring Frolic met with a good attendance and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
