In tne year one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six, tne present Senior Class with bright expectant faces, presented itself to tne first grade teacher, to delve into the mysteries of’readin, 'riten, and 'ritnmetic. • Of the beginners who entered Smithsburg back in the dark ages of 36 only Gene Cowan, Ralph Heck, and Nancy Jacques, Nancy Dwyer, Carole Perguson, Marlene Winders and Evelyn Schroyer have remained to the end. Having survived the usual trials and tribulations of the elementary grades we finally reached the Jun- ior High School with Mr. Lutz and Miss Noel as our worthy teachers. In September of 1945 seventy-three smiling Fresh- men entered this institition, already overflowing with the feeling that there was nothing more in this small world for us to learn. In fact. It seemed that we were quite an asset to any school. Anyway Mrs. St- Clair and Mrs. Mann took us under their wings for ten months. Our Sophomore year began with eight less than the preceding year. During the year we sponsored the Can- teen. Most of the members took an active part in this project to give tne boys and girls entertainment dur- ing their leisure time. In the fall of 47 the Jolly Juniors were given Mr. Summers room as their home room. They presented a most successful play, Special Delivery • under the direction of a very capable student director from our class, Elaine Harbaugh. Mrs. Mann also supervised this activity. The Junior-Senior Prom was held In May of 48 at the school. The decorations were breath-taking and the music of a very popular orchestra divine. Finally that year, that month, that day, that hour and even that minute had arrived wnich we nad looked foreward to twelve years ago. We were about to become the SENIORS of S.H.S. We were the Class of «49. Yes, the forty-niners, all thirty-six of us. We were given tne lab for homeroom this year with Mr. Rohrbaugh as adviser. Several partys were given, one being a Hal- loween Party. On April 28 we presented The Dipsy Dooleys , a hilarious comedy with tne help of Miss Yeakle and Mrs. Mann. On June 15, 1949 we were given our coveted sheep- skins. Thanks teachers,parents, and friends who have made it possible for us to arrive at this point in our educational career. ,Jt fogy M_____kL-tsJl THE LEOPARD CLASS PROPHECY Five years III 'Hie time surely does fly.

At tha vary last minute everyone had a scavenger hunt for Donnie Bachtall's car keys, but thay weren't to be found. On January 21 , aftar much strain on tha cast.

Its cast included Sarah New- comer, Robert Brown, Regina Barkdoll, Donald Bachtall, Jean Rowe, Richard Gardenhour, Gloria Kendall,Jack Kline, Joann Greenwalt, Richard Bikla, Arlene Eckstina and Rob- ert Gaisar.

With tha help of a guide thay observed tha famous land marks , many of which ware recorded for posterity by tha camera fiends. On May 20 came tha great day of tha Prom.

Then our class had the honor of sending a representative, Kay Moore, to Baltimore to attend the State Teachers' Institute where she sang with a large group of talented students from ether parts of the state. The Class of '51 has been well represented on the athletic teams of our school. With the exception of one position the entire Jayvee Basketball team is made up of Sophomores. Looking at Girls' Basketball we find on the Junior Varsity June Johnson, Doris Heiston, Pay Clever, Lorraine Davis, Wanda Hahn. Some of these girls saw action on tho Varsity during tho season. Whon wo como to Soccer we find Glenn Sanders, Donald Smith, Ed- die Miller, Richard Eigenbrode and Moyer as reserves. On the Varsity we nad Carl Myers,one of the most ag- -ressive men on the team. In tne Dramatic Club play supporting parts were tak- en by Orlan Cowan and James Wendland. On tne Year Book Staff serving as Art Editors we have Robert McClain and Jean Potts. Richard Bender, June Johnson , Pay Clever, Pete Sensenbaugh and Clover Jean Clppper represent the class on the High News Staff. Yes, we even have a cham- pion hog raiser. Harvey Barnhart is now fattening a pig which he has adopted. Looks now like it will tip the scales at about 700 pounds by fall. Get out the blue ribbon, judges. With this one we must now bid you adieu. The clas of 1951 looks foreward to replacing the class of 1950 as the Jolly Juniors .

Both Janet Schildt and Anna Letter presented credit- able papers on the subject. At the beginning of the school year the class gave a Welcome arty for the newcomers into the Junior High School. Entertainment was provided in the form of games and solos by several of the fairer sex. Follow- ing the games, refreshments were served. In the Spring an assembly program was sponsored by the Freshies. This program was enjoyed by the en- tire student body. The audience was held spellbound by the short defective plays presented. Following these acts several talented members furnished laughs for the students who also did some g£oup singing to' round out the program. Much to the regret of all of us, one of our mem- bers, Leonard Shatzer, became seriously ill during the latter part of the year. Many notes of cheer and gifts were received by him from his classmates. On April 29 the students of the Academic Science Class chartered a bus for a trip to Washington, D.C Following the study of Natural Science in class they decided they could enrich their knowledge of the sub- ject by a visit to the Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Institution. Other interesting places which included a tour through-the F.E.I. building were also visited by this group of eager Freshies. We over- heard Richard Coffman tell John Maclay while observing the prehistoric man in the museum that he must have de sended from a monkey. John did not agree. He seems to think that this man forgot to ddscend. Howard Brandenburg thought that it must have been awful monotonous for Washington residing in that tall structure known as Washington's Monument..' John Martin hopes he can take driver training next year so he can drive around all those traffic circles in the capitol city. Standing at the threshold of Sophomoreland we have great expectations for the future. At last we are about to become members of the Senior High. We hope that by three more years, attendance here, vie might be able to battle life's stern battles. If the remaining years at S.H.S. are as fruitful as have been the past, hope to be prepared to take our place in society having all those qualities which go to make good J ors j lV£Qd | f ai th il _ffll|lo ye THE LEOPARD 0 r EIGHTH GRADE GRADE 8A GRADE 8B Teacher- Mis3 Smith Teacher- Miss Schroyer President- V.
