(Continued on Page 1 I ) 2 THE SENIOR CLASS First row (left to right) — Shirley Moyer, Anna Pryor, Ruth Crum, Ruth Fleagle, Mary Gardenhour, Joyce Smith (vice-president), Betty Bachtell. Second row—Robert Tracy, Robert Fahnestock, Marie Grams, Maurita Palmer (secretary), Eyleen Tracey, Charlotte HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’47 1943-44 Let’s Get Acquainted One early September morn in 1943, a gang of kids, numbering forty-five settled down in room 26 for roll call and instructions from the homeroom teacher, Mr. Martin. This took place, of course, after the mad scramble for seats. With a little soft-soaping on the side, the inseparables (and there were plenty of them) managed to sit side by side. There were a lot of new students, and the first week, Betty was being called Anna, and Bob was mistaken for Richard, and, in fact, everyone was called everything except what he should have been, but in spite of this difficulty, the class was soon one big happy family. Officers Elected The class agreed to elect their officials for just the first half of the year. The returns showed that Arben Toppy' 'Harbaugh had been chosen to preside, and Maurita Palmer was elected vice presi- dent. Joyce Smith won the combined office of Myers (treasurer), Betty Fox, Richard Beard, Roy Bos- well. Third row—Richard Toms, Delbert Smith, Lloyd Bowman, Edwin DeLauter, Nevin Lewis, Elbridge Brown, John Rinehart, Lawrence Ambrose, Robert Smith, Mark Frey, Richard Eckstine, Robert Leiter (president), and Preston Happel. secretary-treasurer, and Preston Happel was made student representative to the Advisory Board. Joyce was also appointed as news reporter for the school paper. Activities In latter October, a Hallowe'en party was held at Ruth Biser s for the class. A flat tire prevented some from attending, or did it? In November, the school patrol was again or- ganized, with George DeLauter serving as captain and Lloyd Bowman as lieutenant. The boys, “freshies that they were, were quite proud of their belts and badges, and each day, they led their out- fit down street, depositing their charge one at a time at their respective posts. During the War Savings Stamp and Bond Drive, the class contributed $200. All those who were re- sponsible for selling at least one bond were re- warded with a ride in a jeep from Camp Ritchie. Second Semester Officers In February of 1944, class leaders were elected for the latter half of the year. Robert Leiter suc- ceeded Toppy Harbaugh as president and secretary- 3 THE JUNIOR CLASS First row (left to right)—Marguerite Kline, Kath- leen Hahn, Louise Herbst, Joice Wolfe, Lois Barkdoll, Catherine Frey, Betty Fahnestock, Dolly Diehl, Jean- nette Kline, Rosemary Ferguson, Rose Kretsinger, Ca- melia Kline, Mary C. Kelbaugh. Second row—Junior Pryor, Thomas Brown, Richard Shockey, Iolene Reech- treasurer were filled by Joyce Smith and Maurita Palmer respectively. Betty Bachtell and Preston Happell were appointed as Advisory Board mem- bers. Awards Made. Spring brought on the softball season, when a tournament was held, with grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 competing for championship. The class was indeed proud of its girls’ team which won the title. At the commencement exercises, the class again had reason to be proud when the math medal was presented to Robert Tracy for his excellent work in Algebra. 1944-45 Enrollment and Ejection Class membership increased in the sophomore year by six, totaling fifty-one. The number of members varied throughout the year, since trans- fers and withdrawals were continuously taking place. The election of officers for the year resulted in Preston Happel’s taking over the presidential chair and Maurita Palmer, the vice-president’s seat. Lloyd Bowman was elected secretary and Eyleen Tracey, treasurer. Betty Bachtell and Preston Hap- pel were appointed to the Advisory Board, in which organization Betty was elected to the office of secre- tary-treasurer. Class repoited for the “High News’’ was Betty Bachtell. 4 er, Mary Susan Rinehart, Betty Lou Itnyre, Louise Wempe, Ann McAfee, Mildred Brandenburg, Blance Shatzer, Lorraine Gearhart. Third row—Raymond Har- baugh, Robert Eckstine, Donald Warrenfeltz, Franklin Doyle, Frederick Frazer, Pat Durham, John Newcom- er, Leister Stottlemyer, Lawson Schroyer, Harold Smith and Charles Slick. Absent—Anna Mae Brown. Human Interest The romance between Lawrence Ambrose and Phyllis Lehman varied from spark to fire and eventually died. Marie Grams was having quite the time with her sailor — namely. Van- but that affair also went “Poof,” and, oh, look at her now! Clem and Zeke were born into the class, personi- fied by Lawrence and Lloyd. It may be interest- ing to note that their birth was announced the day of the National Symphony Orchestra concert. Al- though their names imply that they are mountain- eers, the boys hardly acted as such when they let cigars get them down. In fact, Betty and Joyce had a hard time convincing them that they were sitting perfectly still coming home on the bus, and not going around in circles as they seemed to be. It was this year that Roy Boswell was dubbed “swooon-crooner”; Betty Bachteil was “man’s lady”; Anna Pryor, “sparrow-legs”; Marie Grams, “silved-top”; and Robert I racey the ’’clever math- ematician.” The Easter Bunny left a diamond from Raphie in Ruth Fleagle’s basket. Spotlight Events Once more came October and again at Biser’s home was held a Hallowe en party, which will lin- ger in the minds of many of those who attended. Perhaps the fact that Eyleen drank quite a lot of THE SOPHOMORE CLASS First row (left to right)—Donald Johnson, Leroy Shoekey, Walter Kline, Bob Wade, Raymond Hersh- berger, Theodore Fleagle, Charles Newcomer, Leslie Leathers, Glenn Bachtell, Walter Dayhoff, Daniel Pike, Douglas Moyer, Gerald Brown, Ralph Heck, Gene Co- wan, Harold Gift. Second row—Vera Jones, Margaret Himes, Jane DeLauter, Jean Smith, Betty Blake, Evelyn cider contributed to her losing her watch down by the cider barrel on the lawn. She was half-way home before she discovered that it was missing, and then Eckstine who was horne on leave at the time, had to go back for it. Quite a carload, huh. Eckstine? Incidently, Eyleen found her watch I One of the best accepted entertainments ever given in Smithsburg was “Hollywood Canteen,” a Class of 47, in March, 1945. The committee in musical production originated and presented by the charge was Betty Bachtell, Joyce Smith, Roy Bos- well, Lawrence Ambrose and Betty Dagenhart; the supervisors were Mrs. Manning; Miss Noel; Mrs. Murray, and Miss Schroyer. Mrs. Ann Fish- ack was in charge of make-up. Some of the movie stars portrayed were Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, the Andrews Sisters, Hazel Scott, Dinah Shore, Betty Grable, Baby Snooks, Charlie McCarthy, Bob Hope, Bette Davis, and Irene Manning. Roy Bos- well stole the show in his role of the South American singer and dancer. Carmen Miranda. The class will always associate this very successful produc- tion with their sophomore year. It seems that the regular visits of a certain fellow inspired Betty Bachtell to compose the words and music to a song which she called “Every Night.” The composion was introduced to the student body in an assembly and was heartily accepted. Unfor- tunately, the song was never sent to a publishing house. Schroyer, Johanna Moyer, Betty Grams, Connie Phette- place, Janet Ridenour, Frances Bishop, Barbara Bow- man, Carole Ferguson, Marlene Winders, Jean Pryor, Peggy Slick, Georgia Belle Brown, Ravena Winters, Dorothy Fritz, Elaine Harbaugh, Barbara Potts, Mary C. Smith, Constance Seibert, and Janet Kipe. Absent— Nancy Jacques. On April 4, 1945, a class party was held at the city parrk in Hagerstown, and the straw ride which accompanied the party added to the fun. The group, clad in dungarees, saw “Here Come the Waves” after the party. A downpour of rain right after the movie was the “dressing”—after all, in such garb, who cared about so minor a detail! Sports. Again the girls were the spotlight of sports, hav- ing won the fieldball pennant in the fall, and the softball tournament in the spring. Winding Up the Year Elections held by upper classmen for positions on the coming year’s school paper resulted in the fol- lowing returns: Robert Leiter—business manager; Betty Bachtell and Joyce Smith—literary editors; and Richard Toms and Lawrence Ambrose—ad- vertising. Robert Leiter, Maurita Palmer, and Richard Toms were elected as representatives to the Ad- visory Board for the year 1945-46. The day set aside for the taking of pictures for the “Leopard” was a damp one. and all the girls complained of straight hair, but after all, such is life! June was a welcome month this year, because it seemed that school would never end. But the month’s summer vacation flew bv and then— I 945- 46 The small class of 26 members initiated Miss 5 THE FRESHMAN CLASS First row (left to right)—Paul Spessard, Richard Toms, Frank Harris, Leon Willard, Richard Brown, Robert Geiser, Curtis Wolfe, Charles Gardenhour, Eu- gene Gregory, Donald Frey, Harold Spessard, Peggy Reecher, Shirley Dwyer, Jean Rowe. Second row — Donald Kline, Donald Bachtell, Robert Brown, Richard Gardenhour, Marshall Bowman, James Hishman, Stan- Downey, the new English teacher, into S. H. S. as their homeroom teacher in Sept. ’45. The boys emitted wolf calls as they walked into the room, but to no advantage. The election returns favored the fairer sex. Al- though Lloyd Bowman was elected president, Joyce Smith, Marie Gramms, and Charlotte Myers were voted into the offices of vice-president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. The town hail was the scene of the class Hallo- we’en party in late October. It seems as if Eyleen always gets hooked on such occasions. This time she wandered out onto the roof—to retrieve a pos- session ol hers. Perhaps Bobby Smith knows more about that. That was the night someone tried to burn wet leaves and pull up posts. How about it Fox? The class play, first scheduled for Dec. 1 4, was postponed which meant extra work on the already printed programs for Fleagle, Crum, Dolly and Charlotte. But Jan. 9 found the cast prepared to present the mystery, The Pennington Case. Shir- ley might be thankful that she isn’t normally as weird as the character she portrayed! Even though a few pages were skipped, few knew the difference, and it was well received by the audience. The class purchased a complete make-up kit which was used for the play and later sold to the school. 6 ley Baker, Gloria Kendall, Betty Crum, Delores Sprink- le, Peggy Fishack, Margaret Blake, Kathleen Sanders, Joann Greenawalt, Betty Gearhart, Sarah Newcomer, Annabelle Grable. Third row—Kenneth Smith, Jimmy Heiston, Franklyn Shockey, Richard Bickle, Bill Wade, Lee Hays, Margaret Larrimore, Roberta Hershberger, Shirley DeWees, Jean Huntsbcrrv, Charles Smith, Floyd Bowman, Arlene Eckstine, and Patrick Wendland. On Feb. 14, the juniors and seniors held a Val- entine party in the gym for the members of just those two classes and their guests. The Shamrock, a St. Patrick s Day party- dance, was sponsored by the class of ’47 on March 15. Roy Boswell was the emcee, and a floor show was presented by the sponsors. The gym was dec- orated according to tradition. One of the most important events of the year was the prom in honor of the class of ’46, held on May 10, 1946. An excessive amount of work was required, but the resulting beauty and success of the dance was sufficient reward. Each person who attended undoubtedly has his own special memory of the night. One beautiful spring evening, some of the class and their guests had a weiner roast at Hagers- town City Park. The R. C. Cola was especially good—how about it, Shirley, Eyleen and Joyce? No one has ever complained of not having fun— not even Bowman, who had his nose rammed into a jar of mustard—nor Joyce, who fell into the lake. The next time, she’ll walk across by the bridge instead of on the rocks. Beard was there with bells on—good looking car included! Naturally, the day in June set aside to go to Hershey Park would turn out to be damp and rainy, but that was a minor incident ! The roller coaster THE EIGHTH GRADE First row (left to right)—Patsy Benchoff, Mary Lee Grams, Jacqueline Blake, Bessie Cosgrove, Phyllis Leathers, Dorothy Kline, Betty Fleagle, Elaine Kipe, Alice Lewis, Imogene Burns, Donald Smith, Orlan Co- wan, Edward Miller, David Gorden, Norman Shatzer, Thomas Punt, Robert Fritz. Second row—Harvey Barn- hart, Lloyd Sensenbaugh, Glenn Sanders, Richard Day- hoff, Lewis Weber, Fred Kendall, Richard Eigenbrode, Jack Kline, Wilbur Hess, Herbert Taber, Charles Law, took a beating that day, and that ain’t hay! Every- one was ready to hit the hay when the bus started home, so the seats served the purpose. Human Interest Dolly and Preston and Marie and Fahney be- came known as the two most-seen-Together couples in school. Ed picked a very romantic spot at Cold Springs Park when he gave Eyleen her diamond in July of this year. Betty and Joyce were involved in two accidents, not more than a month apart. One time Eckstine was driving, so no more be said! At least, it can't be blamed on women drivers. Staff Ejections For the year 1946-47, Robert Leiter was chosen as editor of the “High News,” Lloyd Bowman- circulation manager, Joyce Smith-feature editor, Betty Bachtell and Preston Hapel-sports editors, and Eyleen Tracey-Typist. Honors As far as sports are concerned, the girls left the boys in the dust, having won again the fieldball pennant in the fall. Track meet was held on May 9, 1946 at which time, the girls softball team captured the cham- Donald Brown, Frances Kline, Merle Martin, Carl My- ers, Keith Moyer, Robert Bushey, Clarence Carbaugh. Third row—Eugene Smith, Clarence Bachtell, Mary Stottlemyer, Grace Kline, Rosalie Miller, Martha Kline, Betty Pryor, Evelyn Ridenour, Donna Seibert, Nancy Glenn, Helen Huntsberry, Connie Shockey, Janet Bow- man, Helen Harne, Clover Jean Clopper, Wanda Hahn, Emma Jane Guessford, Joyce Massie, Margaret DeLaut- er, Jean Potts, Pauline Rowe, Shirley Rouse, Lorraine Davis, LaFern Clopper, June Johnson, and Jackie Wolfe. pionship title for the third consevutive year. At the commencement exercises on June 5, the language medal for first year Latin was awarded to Joyce Smith. 1946-47 Enrollment September rolled around once more and thirty- one students dragged into Room 29, where they became established as seniors, with Mr. Rohrbaugh as homeroom teacher. For years, the class had wondered what it would feel like to be seniors, and they were quite anxious for the day when they would have priority in matters such as the lunch line and assembly seats. There was a disappoint- ment in store for them, and the sooner they realized it, the better off they were. The class membership would really have been in the middle twenties had it not been for the re- turn of an ex-class of ’45-er, ' Johnny Rinehart, and five ex-servicemen, Ed. Delauter, Richard Eck- stine, Delbert Smith, Mark Frrey, Elbridge Brown. In the early school year Herbie Hayes and Frankiin Forest withdrew, leaving a class of twenty-nine. Ejection Class officers for the first semester were Robert Leiter, president; Joyce Smith, vice pesident; Marie 7 THE SEVENTH GRADE First row left to right)—Samuel Ferguson, Waverly Snider, Nancy Winters, Esther Lewis, Robert Smith, Patsy Long, Angeline Willard, Delores Miller. Arthur Pittinger, Harold Waltz, Donald Ridenour, John Martin, Eugene Brown, John Maclay, Robert Grams, Nancy Larimore, Gladys Brown, Delores Gift. Second row— Joyce Schildt, Edward Semler, Preston Troupe, Earl Schildt, Robert Miller. Third row—Dorothy Wolfe, Grams-secretary; Charlotte Myers-treasurer. Second semester election resulted in only one change—Maurita Palmer succeeded Marie Grams as secretary. Robert Leiter was elected persident of the Ad- visory Board. Human Interest The squirrel season of this year will always be a memorable one for Richard Toms. it was then that his gray cap was mistaken for a squirrel by his hunting partner, who emptied several loads of shot into his face . Tough luck, Tommie! Another diamond founds its way into the class when Betty Fox received one on Christmas Eve. Cupid is really on the ball! And who will forget the snowy day when the whole class took the afternoon off and went to see Humoresque. ' Nevin's wreck almost scared the three girls out of their wits and poor Nevin was afraid of having to sell his car—he did too! And this one will always be good for a laugh— in English class Delbert was told to spell the pos- sessive form of cat.” He burst forth with K-A-TS! Activities The High News staff decided to change from the magazine form of the newspaper style, later re- 8 Marilyn Vaughn, George Kelbaugh, Jacqueline Smith, Roy Fleagle, Robert Snively, Rodger Garnand, Leonard Shatzer, Nevin Frey, Rhoda Heishman, Jill Miller, Win- ifred Shockey, Maxine Seibert, Helen Kretsmger.

Betty Bachtell, Robert Leiter and Joyce Smith were chosen to sing in the Maryland State Chorus in Baltimore on October 18 and 19. 1 he class Hallowe en party was held in the barn at Mark Frey’s home. I he mysterious appearance of a ghost on the hayloft gave a momentary thrill to the party air. Several members of the class rode on the school Hoat that was entered in the Armistice Day Parade on November 1 I. I he Christmas Alumni Dance on Dec. 20 was a big event for the seniors, who were the sponsors. Ihe gym was very beautifully decorated, and when a light snow began to fall the morning of the dance, the class believed that it would add to the occasion. Little did they dream that it would snow all day and rhen change to rain, making driving practically im- Dossible. It resulted in anything but the record crowd that was expected. And what should happen in the middle of the dance but that the roof sprang a leak. These misfortunes placed the class under a debt of $70. In March, the Senior P.D. section presented a court trial assembly which was hailed as one of the most entertaining of the year.

To the Faculty, we extend our hearty thanks for their patience and guidance, which helped in the long struggle. I he Juniors are the recipients of Room 20 with all joys and misfortunes that enclose its walls—we hope that it will be painted by next September.

(Continued on Page 13) CLASS PROPHECY Five years ago 1 was with the graduating class of '47 receiving my diploma. Now the class is to- gether again—but on a different occasion. I hey have come to my wedding at my home in Holly- wood, California. Of course 1 will continue as a private secretary for Roy Boswell, one of Holly- wood’s most promising singers whose latest movie is with his wife Ginger Rogers. Betty Bachtell graduated from Western Maryland College and is now teaching for Angeles High School. Teaching Physics at the same High School is Richard Beard. Dolly Gardenhour is a nurse at the Washing- ton County Hospital in Hagerstown. Of course we can't think of Dolly without thinking of Preston Happel, who is now a salesman for the Landis Tool Company in Waynesboro. Ruth Fleagle, now Mrs. Raphael Reynolds, oper- ates a beauty salon in Baltimore while Anna Pryor is operatinfg one in Washington. Betty Fox, now Mrs. Raymond Sanders, owns a beauty salon in Chicago. Betty and Ruth Crum are miles from each other as Ruth decided to make her home near the Sanatorium as Mrs. Casimer Kuna- wisz. As a foreign correspondent's wife, Ruth is traveling constantly. Charlotte Myers resides in Hagerstown and is teaching Home Economics at the Hagerstown High School. Shirley Moyer, now Mrs. Randall Hoover, is re- siding along the Cavetown Pike. She is one of Ha- gerstown’s most capable telephone operators. The Representative from Maryland is fortunate to have Joyce Smith as his secretary. By the way Joyce talks, life in ashington isn't bad. Marie Grams, now Mrs. Robert Fahnestock, is proprietor of a pastry shop in Highfield. Robert’s a Maryland Delegate. Ed Delauter, a successful business man, owns sev- eral clothing storts, one of them being in Hagers- town, where his wife Eyleen Tracey is a secretarry. Eyleen graduated from the Hagerstown Business College in September '48. Robert Tracey and Lloyd Boyman have both be- come prominent iawyers. Robert has his office in Chicago and Lloyd in Pittsburgh. We knew we had two lawyers in the class, didn’t we? Robert Smith certainly gets over the U. S. as he is a salesman for the Fuller Brush Company. Bobby isn t the only salesman for Richard Eckstein is one for the Buick Garage in Hagerstown. Nevin Lewis has taken over his father's farm and has recently broken the record for getting 560 bushels of corn per acre. John Rinehart has taken over the Rinehart Or- chards and is now assistant editor of the Maryland College of Agriculture. Mark Frey, after several years of study, is a mem- ber of the staff of the Bureau ofAnimal Industry, (Continued on Page 16) 10 SOCCER First Row—Left to Right—F. Doyle, M. Frey, D.

These were the familiar words heard on the soccer field every evening for two weeks. Twenty huffing and puffing “soccer players to be,” were about ready to drop after an evening’s practice. Coach Martin really meant it when he said he didn’t want a bunch of short winded --------trotting around over the field. He drilled the team in sections and then as a unit until he had one of the two top teams in the league. Although these evenings seemed cruel and inhuman they payed off ten fold. The Smitties lost only two games during the season and tied the biggest and most powerful team in the league. It was one of the best seasons in recent years at S.H.S. Carry on!!

First Inter-Scholastic Fieldball Since War The Leopardettes started the season with a bang and ended with a surprising victory over Williams- port. This was the first year of inter-scholastic fieldball since the war. The girls showed out- standing sportsmanship, and with a loss they al- ways had the spirit of winning the next game. By reviewing the scores, you can find that the winning margin was greater for the opposing teams than the Smitties, but they hope they made a good reputation in all the schools with which they com- peted.

Although they lost a few games they won far more with a very high score. The squad s team work and sportsman- ship won the admiration of every school in the league. Under coach Rohrbaugh's eagle eye the team developed from a group of confused and sloppy boys to a precise unit of conditioned players. Hours and hours of hard practice was the key to their success. Now in condition they are ready to meet their opponents. Making every move count the squad was able to hold and gain ground against any team. Let s not forget the J.V.'s They were working just as hard as the varsity and playing just as well. Here s to another great year. Smart Fellow My girl told me last night that she didn't want to see me any more.” So I guess you left then. No, 1 turned out the lights. Jones: How do you spend your income?” Smith: About 30'r for shelter, 30% for cloth- ing, 40'( for food, and 20 ' for amusement. Jones: But that adds up to I20r ! Smith: Don’t 1 know it! Good morning, doctor. I just dropped in to tell you how much I benefited from your treatment.” But you are not one of my patients. No, but my uncle was, and I'm his heir. The Leopards are out to win again. This time its’ baseball. A squad of 20 reported for practice the first night and no one has left. They all work together and share victory and defeat alike. This season they have had a taste of both. Mr. Martin is coaching and he is really doing a fine job of putting the boys through the paces. At practice each man bats and takes his turn at his position. In the game when the heat is on and the coach yells heads up it makes the fans set up to when a ball sails into the air and starts it plumet to the ground, or should we say to the glove of one of our crack outfielders. Sometimes there is a miss but not very often. All in all things are going smooth but lets root for more homers. SENIOR’S WILL (Continued from Page 10) Mark hrey grants his farming skill to Charles Slick. Robert Tracey hands down his way of making pick-ups to Harold Gift.

Little boy: They's went out.” Voice: They's went out! Where’s your gram- mar?

I he play well illustrated a real estate office in any small Ameiican city. The action took place in the Barrett Bake real estate office, where Barbara Allen, a young real estate saleswoman, works to support her sister and brother, Margaret and Tacky. Bar- rett Blake, Barbara's boss, wants his son, Owen, to marry Gladys Hubbard, but Owen loves Barbara and Gladys is jealous. Barbara loves to make people happy so she often cuts her commission in half when selling property. This doesn't go down so well with Blake, who says people are selfish and ungrateful. When $400 disappears that Mrs. Marsh, a weathy client has given Barbara to make an offer on a house Blake thinks Barbara has used the money to cover a check she has given to another client. Barbara had loaned the money in good faith to LeRoy Moyer, a henpecked husband, however, not knowing that her sister, Margaret, had with- drawn most of their account at the bank. When Barbara puts the $400 in the bank and refuses to tell where she got the money, Blake discharges her and threatens to write the Real Estate Commission to revoke her license. It develops that Owen loaned her the money, but didn't want his father to know it. Owen thinks Glaclys stole the money in order to get her in wrong, but what actually hap- pened to it was that it got misplaced in one of the Along with Barbara's troubles she manages to desk drawers. Barbara finds that her faith in hu- man nature has been justified. patch the love affair between Adelaid Millie, a timid spinster and Mr. Mac, a bashful bachelor who have loved each for years but were too timid to ack- nowledge it. She also helps Mr. Moyer turn the tables and Mrs. Moyer who in the end loves it and is very grateful to Barbara. Isabelle, Mrs. Marsh's daughter is in love with Tacky but finds he has no feelings for her which leaves here in a hopeless condition. Everything turned out all right when Owen finally asks Barbara to marry him with Mr. Blake giving his consent and Barbara answering, It’s a deal, 14 BACCALAUREATE SERVICE The Bacculaureate Service was held in the Trin- ity Lutheran Church on June 8 at 8:00 D.S.T. The Reverend Donald R. Stonsifer, pastor of the Luth- eran Church in Boonsboro, was the guest speaker with Reverend Francis R. Beli officiating. Mr. Ma- son Bell, well-known violinist presented a variety of special numbers during the vesper. The Trinity Lutheran Choir, under the direction of Mr. Donald C. Haynes, also provided the anthem. Owen. It’s a—deal! The members of the Senior class who served on special committees were: Star e Committee—Richard Toms. Lawrence Am- brose, Robert Fahnestock. Robert Smith and Nevin Lewis. Advertising Committee--Anna Pryor and Betty Fox. Usherettes and ushers — Ruth Fleagle, Shirley Moyer, Richard Beard and Roy Boswell. Prompter—Charlotte Myers. “It’s a Deal was under the direction of Miss Helen B. Downey. The Senior class presented her with a large assorted bouquet of flowers to show their appreciation for her help with the play. They also presented Miss Marsada Yeakle and Miss Margaret Smith with corsages of yellow car- nations for their help in staging, make-up and ad- vertising. CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Page 8) The class will be forever indebted to Mrs. St. Clair for having suggested a tour of Washington, D. C. The trip was made on April 3, 1947, and the evening was wound up by seeing a stage show and movie at the Capitol Theatre. On May 9, the class play, Its A Deal, under the direction of Miss Downey, was presented to the public, and was accepted as a very likeable and laughable entertainment. Incidentally by us- ing the proceeds of the play the class relieved itself of the debt. Several parties have been planned to take place before the close of school, one of which is a straw ride and weiner roast at Braddock Heights. Sports Once more the girls won the fieldball pennant and the softball tournament and on May I 3 at the track meet, the senior lassies held first place in all events with the highest number of points. Farewell Although this is the last year that the 29 will be together as a bunch of school kids, it is hoped that they will be able to have class reunions in the summer of many years to come. The familiar saying used to be I can hardly wait until I graduate,’ but it will seem strange when September comes again not to head for school and give the usual greetings. This time it is really, “Farewell, S.H.S. COMMENCEMENT HELD JUNE 12, IN AUDITORIUM 1 he all important result of I 2 years of hard study, and, we hasten to add, years of good clean fun and companionship, was brought to an exciting climax June 12, at 8 P. M. in the High School Auditorium, when 29 crisp new deplomas were passed out to 29 worthy recipients. The graduation exercises were opened with the traditional Processional, in this case, The Trium- phal March, with Betty Lou Itnyre at the piano, immediately following was the invocation, by the Reverend J. 1. Thomas, pastor of Welty’s Church of the Brethren. 1 he program was then in the hands of the ca- pable, if somewhat nervous, seniors. Lloyd Bow- man as Master of Ceremonies, briefly sketched the aims of the present generation and introduced the speeches “The Rim of the Junglie and “The United Nations. Robert Tracey led forth with the oration The Rim of the Jungle, pointing out the contrast be- tween uncivilized Borneo and our own civilization. Robert clearly put forth the idea that civilization, like Borneo, can be reclaimed by the jungle. The United Nations, offered by Maurita Pal- mer dealt with the problems and goals of that wor- thy organization; our own United Nations. The Department procedures and work accomplished was explained by Maurita. Showing the favorable results of Mrs. Seibert’s untiring efforts to produce a fine mixed chorus, the seniors sang Land of Hope and Glory, by Elgar. After the introduction of the next speech, Betty Bachtell told a listening audience about, The Won- ders of Tomorrow, comparing the inventions of the past century with our high scientific advance- ments of today. With the finish of “The Wonders of Tomorrow, the class sang in chorus Send Out Thy Light. by Gounod. f ollowing the introduction by the Master of Cere- monies, Joyce Smith led forth with One World Unlimited, stressing cooperation between all na- tions as a security to future peace. Again the class filled the auditorium with song as they sang One World, by O'Hara Bralton. The next part of the program was turned over to Miss Catherine Beachley, who presented medals to the most deserving members of the class. Tire re- cipients were justly proud of the presentments and were rewarded for their efforts to do the best. Finally the most important part of the program commenced. Superintendent of Washington Coun- ty Schools, Mrs. Benjamin C. Willis, assisted by Mr. C. 1. Wolfinger, member of the Washington County Board of Education, gave to each senior the diploma which he had earned through his own perserver- ance.
