CLASS HISTORY Twelve years ago. 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
