Swimming, lying out, va- cationing, and general lounging around clut- tered most of June and July. Various students could be found earning money at fast food restaurants, swimming pools, and other busin- esses throughout the community. Then came August. Once again, the sum- mer was shot. It was time to get back into the swing of things and prepare for the upcoming school year. Practices for fall sports and band began, school supplies were bought, parking permits issued, and jeans came out of hiberna- tion. The freshmen lived through the tradition- al orientation led by the varsity cheerleaders, and classrooms were readied for the 782 Smithsburg High School students. Big, yellow school buses came out of hiding and sig- naled the beginning of another school year. 4 — Introduction Decorating the first place sophomore float as leop- ards are Paige Reedy. Debbie Redmond, and Steph Strauss. Once again, the annual Smithsburg Steam and Craft Show was a big success. Each year, student athletes, such as Tim Smith and Kevin Smith, participate by helping the Leopard Booster Club sell delicious, homemade food. Jennifer Johnson and Wanda Willard get in on the homecoming festivities as “natives” on the junior float. THE DULL SIDE. The first day of the 1984-85 school year was upon us, ready to disrupt our eventful summer. This year, how- ever, students and faculty found a few changes in good old SHS. Leaky water fountains had been replaced, the back patio was finally fixed, and there were brand new sidewalks in front of the school. Possibly the longest awaited change was the trophy case in the main lobby, fully installed, and complete with trophies. But it was still school. Another year of cafe- teria lunches, fire drills, tedious classes, and homework faced the student body. The gener- al consensus seemed to be, “The sooner we start, the sooner it’s over.” Introduction — 5 THE BRIGHT SIDE. Although the return to school after a carefree, unsupervised summer seemed depressing, there was a bright side. Ex- tracurricular activities, sports, making friends, holidays, senior enthusiasm, and plain old good times returned with the school year. Everyone looked forward to crisp, fall weath- er for football games, dating, and weekends. For the second year in a row, the homecoming fes- tivities included a bonfire, parade, dance and, of course, the big game. Holidays meant days off school to spend with family and friends. Festive dinners, presents, and the anticipation of the usual turmoil sur- rounded the holidays. Winter meant skiing, sled riding, hour delays, and snow days. There were also basketball games, wrestling matches, and Valentines Day. Spring meant track, softball, and baseball practices, caps and gowns would be distributed to the deserving seniors, and the busy juniors would be preparing for an exciting prom. Con- cluding the year would be graduation ceremo- nies and the traditional celebration trek to Ocean City. For the less fortunate underclassmen, June 14 marked the last day of classes. Another year had come full circle and now it was time for a new story, beginning with . . . SUMMER 1985 ...

Despite the damp weather ear- ly on September 25, excitement filled organizers and participants alike. This day marked the open- ing of the annual Smithsburg Steam and Craft Show for 1984. Merchants, both local and visit- ing, displayed their wares. Home- made crafts, jewelry, ceramics, and antiques were only a few of the offerings. Farmers of all ages burst with pride as they dis- played steam-operated equip- ment. Helicopter rides and Leop- ard stew were just a few of the major attractions of the show. The SHS Athletic Boosters As- sociation sponsors the well-at- tended event each year. Mem- bers of various athletic teams and other SHS students volunteered their extra free time to help! Peel- ing potatoes and watching the concession stands, students pitched in to make the event suc- cessful. Gary Boswell gets tragic results in the egg drop. Better luck next time! Frosh co-workers Maureen Ungvarsky and Eric Gerber volunteered for kitchen duty and seem to be enjoying their work. r ' J y • A '• ' ■ ■ x - 10 — Steam Craft Show • 0- What a crew! Seniors Dennis Daily. Greg McGuirk, D.J. Drawbaugh and Brian Hollister seem to be up to no good as usual. A man’s duty is stirring the stew? At least for Coach Buddy Orndorff it is. Alumni Daryl Warrenfeltz had his share of stew stirring so he just supervises. Old steam engines such as this one give the annual Steam and Craft Show its name. Exhibitors come from all over to display their “antiques.” Steam Craft Show — 11 Varsity cheerleaders and advisor Carol Warren pose in front of the decorated truck which they rode through the pa- rade.

Homecoming Magic During Homecoming ’84 all kinds of Leopard magic spirit were displayed. Students partici- pated in various activities throughout the week in prepara- tion for an extremely successful homecoming. The homecoming festivities opened with a crazy spirit week consisting of new exciting days such as Army Day, 60s day, Don Ho Day, Punk Day and ending up the week with Spirit Day. The Homecoming theme, Mag- ic, aroused spirit at the blazing bonfire held at a lower field at the school Friday evening, October 5. Students and friends gathered to demonstrate their support for the Leopard football team. Dur- ing the bonfire three witches pre- pared a “spiritual” brew for the football team to drink in order to insure them good luck. Several other skits were performed fea- turing a witch doctor, a magician and witches. Many other students also par- ticipated in the program during a tug of war competition between the classes. Classes also compet- ed against one another by dress- ing their class advisors with news- paper to transform them into “magical” creatures. 12 — Homecoming Saturday morning’s activities started as early as 7:00, when students gathered to organize floats and units for the parade which began at 10:00. This year’s Homecoming turned out to be the biggest and most success- ful in the history of Smithsburg High School. Once again Mrs. Nancy Reedy- Bushey’s class of ’87 took 1st place for the float division. Senior class took 2nd and FBLA float 3rd. The parade also featured a guest band, The Clearspring Marching Band. Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! Robbie and girlfriend Kim snuggle close together while watching a skit at the bon- fire. Merlin (David Mathias) tells the story of how the Leopard beat the choo-choo train. Juniors do a voodoo war chant on their float to bring good luck to the team. Homecoming — 13 Everyone at Smithsburg felt Magic” in the air on Saturday morn- ing, the sixth of October. Following the revival of the 2nd annual parade, the Homecoming game was played that afternoon. Purple and gold bal- loons were scattered throughout the stands. The mighty Leopards tri- umphed in a 17-0 shutout over the Brunswick Railroaders. The crowd was spellbound with anticipation as they awaited the crowning of the queen during half- time. After the Homecoming court and escorts were presented and hon- ored individually, Christy Eyler was honored with the title of Homecom- ing Queen of 1984. More Magic was yet to come — the traditional dance was held that evening, as Trade Winds” enter- tained in the school cafeteria. The glowing queen was then presented gifts by various clubs and organiza- tions, as her stunning court looked on. All the Homecoming activities which were organized and sponsored by the Student Government Associ- ation, indeed, created a magical week that Smithsburg will never for- get. Jeff Chaney breaks away from the pack in the Homecoming game against Bruns- wick.

During spirit week, punkers pose for an incriminating picture. 16 — Homecoming Queen Christy - We Salute You On October 6, 1984, Christy Eyler was presented the title of Homecoming Queen. She is the daughter of Gary and Deborah Eyler. During her senior year Christy served on the Band Executive Com- mittee and was voted vice-president of the senior class. Some of her inter- ests include swimming and softball. Tim Miles escorted her throughout the parade and halftime ceremony. Her escort for the dance was Mark Knight, a 1982 Smithsburg gradu- ate. After graduation Christy plans to pursue a career in cosmetology. Homecoming — 17 Sue Shryock, Lori Weaver, and Julie Bailey prepare to go on stage for the finale. This year’s musical, “SUGAR” is about two out-of-work musi- cians who witness a gangland kill- ing, disguise themselves as girls, and join an all-girl band headed for Miami. Both musicians fall for Sugar, the female vocalist for the band. Problems arise when the gang also heads for Miami to search for the witnesses to the crime. Mistaken identities, romance, and danger keep the audience in- volved in the action until the clos- ing number where Spatz bites the dust. “SUGAR was rated by the students as one of the finest ASP’s, and the number of people in attendance indicated the suc- cess of the show. Opening night brought four hundred people and on Saturday, there was standing room only. Standing ovations, tons of com- pliments, and continual laughter helped this show join the list of hit SHS musicals. The cast of “SUGAR” and the pit band perform the finale. 18 — All-School Production Tenth Annual ASP During intermission. Mrs. Reedy. Todd Nickey. and Chris Ferro answer questions from the elementary kids about the show. The old millionaires wait for pretty young girls.

Todd Nickey, as Daphne, had to pre- pare for his role by getting used to walking in heels. It appears that he’s had a hard day’s work. Jen Johnson. Sweet Sue. sings “Chi- cago”. Todd and Danny as Jerry and Joe portrayed two penniless bums who unfortunately witness a gangland killing. 20 — All-School Production Disguising himself as Junior Shell, a millionaire, Joe tries to impress Sugar. Jon Deckert, Gary Boswell. Chris Spaid, Damion Dodd, and Jeff Chaney take the town apart as members of Spatz’s gang, looking for the two witnesses. Michelle Darrah, Sugar, and band mem- bers perform at a Chicago nightclub. To be a lead in an SHS All- School Production takes alot of hard work. Memorizing lines, learning songs, and overcoming nerves and sometimes two left feet are just some of a lead’s du- ties. Because the leads are the cen- ter of attention on the stage, for a majority of the time, they can ei- ther make or break a show with their performances. Leads for this year’s ASP in- cluded Todd Nickey as both Jerry and Daphne, and Dan McDougal as both Joe and Josephine. Not only did these two have to handle the usual duties of a lead, but they also had to learn to act in dresses and heels. Other leads were portrayed by Michelle Darrah (Sugar), and Gary Boswell (Sir Osgood Field- ing). Minor lead roles were held by Jennifer Johnson (Sweet Sue) Chris Spaid (Bienstock), and Chris Ferro (Spatz).

Picture this: A gray, rainy morning, approxi- mately 8:15 a.m., ten juniors sluggisly await the arrival of the other half of the decorating committee. At 6:45, a good seventy-five per cent of the committee are ready to begin. First come the centerpieces . . . out to the van in the rain . .. “Don’t get the flowers wet!” “Okay, set the tables with glasses, fans, can- dles and napkins.” “MEMORY BOOKS, over 400 memory books need to have the tassles attached!” “Okay, everybody work together and we’ll get them done.” “Wow! It’s 7:30 a.m. and all the tables are ready. Won’t Miss Spector eat her shorts?” Miss Spector arrives at 8:30 a.m. to observe twenty kids “on break”. Then begin the trips to fast food places for breakfast. The eating con- tinues throughout the morning as lanterns are strung and murals are placed in the highest reaches of the Ramada Grand Ballroom. At high noon the backdrop for the pictures is being constructed with chainsaws and ham- mers. “Okay, mix the wallpaper paste.” “Paste ready!” “What? NO BRUSH?” “Someone, run home quickly to get a wallpaper brush before the paste dries!” By 2:00 p.m. the backdrop is ready. The sculptor artist is in the kitchen chiseling away at an ice block to create an “85” to float in King Kong’s martini. “Where’s the cake?” “You mean that thing with real goldfish swimming in the bottom of it?” “Oh, they are in a bowl!” Late afternoon — “Someone throw away those doughnut boxes! Tables set, food’s here, lobby’s decorated. Is someone gonna be here to meet the servers?” “’’Right.” “And Bristol Sounds?” “Right again.” Picture this: A gray, rainy afternoon, the Ramada Inn’s Grand Ballroom dressed in the beautiful “Romance of the Orient,” just wait- ing to come alive with the excitement and laughter of hundreds of teenagers. 7T £ x % (P Prom — 25 “Romance in the Orient” Couples crowd the dance floor as this special night begins and ends in much too short of a time. Like most other proms, this year’s prom went off with a bang; perhaps a different kind of gun was used this year, however. The Junior Class decided to break tradition and have Bristol Sounds Videos as entertainment from the prom in place of a traditional band and live music. Boy, did this raise some eyebrows! It was a never-ending battle between bands and videos all year long; the class was almost evenly divided. The prom began like any other prom, the couples being greeted by Principal Gerald Hammond and several curious teachers. “Ro- mance In the Orient” was the theme of the evening’s festivities. The servers wore authentic Chinese robes and rice hats as they stood around the cake and punch bowl. The cake was not your “norm” — a bowl of dead goldfish found a happy home on the bottom layer of the cake. Of course the fish being dead was not a mistake! Oriental people eat raw fish sometimes, right? Well, Smithsburg needs a sushi bar too! The videos by Bristol Sounds were played on a 12 ft. diagonal screen, but only for a matter of minutes. It seems the “Bristol Boys” brought along a new video machine which would not work. They swore up and down that “it worked at the last gig!” Finally, someone from Bristol’s “ran” back to College Park to get another machine. Meanwhile everyone played “imagine the video” while the front screen remained blank. The new machine did arrive around 10:30, but even then the videos were only 2 feet by 2 feet. Putting aside the video incident, the prom was a success. The dance floor was packed for the duration of the evening and several students commented that they enjoyed hearing music by the origi- nal artists. So, MAYBE the goldfish were dead, MAYBE the punch fountain stopped flowing, MAYBE it rained, MAYBE the controversial vid- eos did not work, but no one can deny that a good time was had by almost everyone who attended the 1985 prom! Whether Prom goers were intent with crowding the dance floor or relaxing by table side, the night was enjoyed by all. 26 — Prom The Best It Could Be (Above Left) Aaron and Teresa give a grin as they relax in the Lori and Steve talk with parents and friends who front lobby. stoP by to visit at the ballroom door.

Carrying on the tradition of seniors directing the numbers for the Pops Concert is Mindy Riggs. The Pops Concert has become a tradi- tional event for the senior band members who are asked to organize a year-end con- cert that features popular music from the past year. The seniors are in charge of the selection and direction of the music. Senior directors, this year, included Mindy Riggs, Kelly Monahan, Christy Eyler, and Melissa Huff. Selections from Lionel Richie and mu- sic from the sixties were popular with the audience. After a brief intermission, seniors Rod- ney Martin, Rich Reynolds, Gary Boswell, Kim Shockey, Duane McNairn, Todd Mick- ey. and Tim Miles directed the jazz band. Each member of this group directed a favor- ite piece from the jazz band’s musical li- brary. Vocal selections included You’re the In- spiration,” ‘‘What About Me.” and “Hello” featuring Todd Nickey, Tim Miles, and Taw- nya Laye. This year’s recipient of the Louis Armstrong Award for musical excellence in the jazz band was Kim Shockey. A full house and a standing ovation proved that the Pops Concert is a favorite with the com- munity. Pops Concert — 29 30 — Candids Candids — 31 SENIORS 1984-85 . . .

Principal Gerald Hammond had organized the class in their freshman fundraiser, selling Christmas orna- ments; however, he was unable to continue helping them and suggest- ed they find a staff member to assist them. Since I enjoyed working with the recently graduated class, I con- sented to help the Class ’85 for the next three years. During sophomore year, the class decided to sell candy. Although the class as a whole did not support the endeavor, we managed to make enough profit to build up the trea- sury to approximately $3,000.00 by the end of that school year. It wasn’t what we quite expected, but we felt that there was still enough time to build up our class account before prom time. Two major fundraisers during the junior year were the sausage and cheese sale and the concession stand for basketball games. With all our money in hand, we began planning our prom, “New York, New York.” On the evening of May 26, 1984, the Ramada Inn Con- vention Center was successfully transformed into the “Big Apple.” Our final task that year was host- ing the Senior Tea after the Bacca- laureate services. However, the year ended on a sad note with the loss of one of the members of the Class ’85, Paula Thomas. Senior year has finally come. Thoughts have turned to ordering caps and gowns, announcements and making decisions about the fu- ture. It is my time to reflect upon the three years that went by so quickly. It seems that just a few weeks ago you were entering Smithsburg High School as apprehensive children and now you are departing as young adults. There are many members of this class whom I have come to know; yet, there are those to whom I have never spoken. However, to all of you, I wish you the very best. May your wishes and dreams come true and may all your clouds have silver linings.

They enjoyed it so much they decided to continue their studies into the first half of their senior year. Cathy Cline. Shawn Mumma and Lisa Webb (not pictured) found their interests in dental assisting while Tracy Kirchner (sitting) and Nick Smith (not pictured) participated in the nursing program. Horticulture students included Sue Ridenour. Trisha Souders and Terri Miller. Ben Strickland. Lori Bumbaugh and Richard Grove (standing) took part in print lithography. John Ham- ilton and James Bruce (sitting) took part in commer- cial art. Auto Body seemed to interest Leon Tracey and Jeff Eichelberger (standing). Mike Green (sitting) found his interest in auto mechanics. By the time they were finished, some students got on the job experience. For instance, the masonry class laid the cement block for the new baseball dugouts here at SHS. Also, practical nursing students went to the Washington County Hospital for part of their training. Upon graduation from CSC, some students won awards for a job well done. In electronics, Mike Rohrer received an award from the Electronics Advi- sory Committee. Nina Hose and Samantha Beard were given the Homewood Retirement Home Achievement Award for home care management. Nina Hose also won an Instructor’s Award. The Horticulture Designers Award went to Trisha Souders and the Woodland Garden Club Landscape Design Award went to Sue Ridenour. Two masonry students also won awards for their achievements: Richard Hovermale, the Cushwa Brick Plant Award and Curtis Blickenstaff, the Theodore Myers Award. Perfect Attendance Awards were presented to Tra- cy Kirchner and Richard Hovermale. In the area of sheet metal, Tim Teach accepted the Coss Welding Supply Award. In addition, Lisa Young received the CSC Advisory Council Achievement Award. Mike Rohrer studied electronics while Scott Crum took civil construction. 50 — Seniors Headstart on Careers Michelle Sekula, Tammy Miller and Lisa Young (not pic- tured) participated in the cosmetology program. Home Care Management students included Nina Hose and Debbie Clopper along with Samantha Beard and Sandy Johnston. Morning HJC students include: Tammy Carbaugh. Michelle Barnhart. Greg McGuirk. Mark Hettenhauser and John Barnhart. Afternoon HJC students include: (standing) Dwayne Windisch. Susan Cunningham. Teresa Byler. (kneeling) Sabrina Wilfong, Cathy Barron, and Michelle Sekula. Rodney Harbaugh, Joe Pepple and D.J. Drawbaugh (not pictured) took part in the carpentry class. Rich- ard Hovermale and Curtis Blickenstaff took part in masonry. Seniors get a head start on careers, the headline speaks for itself. A few SHS se- niors annually choose to attend college classes at Hagerstown Junior College for half a day during their final year in high school. This years senior class is no excep- tion. Students choose HJC because the classes offered there give them a head start on their college careers. Classes also pre- pare the student for what will be expected of them at a four-year college. When asked, how HJC compares to SHS, most students noted that the students at HJC are older. One student commented, “The HJC classes are less rowdy and more interest- ing.” Another student remarked, “HJC has a more serious atmosphere and it’s more relaxing.” Some students replied that the class they are taking at HJC is harder than the same class when it was offered to them at SHS. During the fall semester, computer and business classes were very popular this year among SHS students. There were a few students who enrolled in Fortran pro- gramming. These included Tammy Car- baugh, Sabrina Wilfong, and Dwayne Win- disch. Mark Hettehauser and Michelle Se- kula took Introduction to Data Processing. Business Organization caught the interest of Michelle Barnhart and David Nussear. Su- san Cunningham was the only student in the fall semester to study Accounting I. Outside the area of business, Cathy Bar- ron along with Teresa Byler took Introduc- tion to Sociology. John Barnhart and Greg McGuirk found their interest in general chemistry. They continued this class through their spring semester while Tammy Carbaugh enrolled in Introduction to Col- lege Chemistry. During the spring semester, students found interests in other classes. A course entitled Creative Synthesis seemed to be a very popular class which included Sabrina Wilfong. Cathy Barron. Teresa Byler and Susan Cunningham. Among the students David Nussear was the only one to take public speaking. Michelle Barnhart studied business law and Mike Rohrer enrolled in a course entitled Alternating Current Circuts. Intermediate Algebra caught Michelle Se- kula’s interest. Course selections at HJC displayed a wide variety of interests among the seniors at SHS. Not only were a variety of subjects studied, but these courses were taken at a variety of times. Some students preferred classes in the morning and some in the afternoon. There were even a few students who signed up for their classes in the evening. Seniors — 51 D.O.

The Leopards were just another perfect 10! With an 8-2 record for the season, the Smithsburg Leopard varsity football team finished with an incredible 12-0 tally for the year. Throughout their winning streak, the team dominated the local newspaper headlines. Even at the end of the 10-0 regular season play, the Leopards were still a big news item, filling the sports pages of local papers with stories of their performances. During the ten game streak, the Leopards scored a total 262 points. During the same time the defense, proving their strength, gave up only 43 points. This over powering defense had 708 tackles, 129 of which were unassisted. Meanwhile the offense glided through their opponents’ defensive lines, gaining a total of 2,588 yards or an average 258.8 yards per game. Sparked by the defense and exploding special team plays, Smithsburg captured its first Monocacy Valley Athletic League title. The team also placed seven members on the MVAL All-Star first team, and five on the second team. The student body of Smithsburg High along with members of the community will long remember the undefeated season for the 1984 Mighty Leopards. When there are no opponents in sight . . .

Fans and team alike appreciated the championship feeling. With enthusiasm an elated state championship foot- ball team proudly displays their well deserved plaque. Leading rusher Brian Hollister had the honor of carrying the trophy off the field. As the 1984 football season progressed, it seemed that nothing could keep the Leopards from a state championship and. in the end, they proved that nothing could! Completing their 10-0 regular season, the team began post-season play by slaughtering the Havre de Grace Warriors 28-0 in a Class C semifinal game on Leopard turf. Then on November 24, 1984, a cold day at University of Maryland’s Byrd Stadium, the Leopard football team backed by hundreds of fans met to witness what would become the first State Football Championship since 1979. In a very close game the SHS defense pre- vailed with a 10-8 victory over J.M. Bennett of Salisbury to become Maryland State Class C Champs.

Another new sport was added to Smithsburg High’s list of fall sports for the 1984-85 school year, as a result of school and community sup- port. Varsity soccer is the latest addition to the roster of athletic teams. Home games for the newest sport were held on the Smithsburg Elementary School’s soccer field, and some of the SHS opponents were the jayvee squads instead of the varsity ones. Both the coach and the players were a bit hesitant about the team getting off the ground, but both were also mildly surprised by the good season they had. Competing with some really tough schools, the team ended the season with a record of six wins, three losses and three ties. Matt Kinman, junior, was the leading scorer. A tough defense led by captains Dan McDougal and Scott Pryor was one of the team’s strongest points. As Dan McDougal put it, “Team spirit, lots of hard work, enthusiasm, and good coaching all contributed to a winning season.” Even though this year was only a trial season for the sport, the turn out and the exceptional play of team members will assure fans that the sport will return next year and will compete in the MVAL. Statisticians for the team were Angie Cool and Jenni- fer Johnson. They were also great fans. Soccer — 67 Golfers Senior Damion Dodd practices his driving technique.

Returning seniors were Damion Dodd, and Mark Hettenhouser. Along with returning Junior Kent Rice, the veterans placed in the top six finish- ers on the team. First year duffers included senior Rodney Mar- tin, juniors Donnie Stockslager, Chris Spaid, and Brian Walker. New sophs Chris Ferro and Dennis Wolfe along with freshmen Andy Brewer and Ke- vin Steiner rounded out the team. Freshman stand-out Brewer finished the year in the first place spot on the SHS team. He was one of the top four golfers on the team who went on to compete in district play. Although the team wasn’t represented at states, Brewer missed getting there by only a few strokes. The team worked under the returning leader- ship of Coach Lee Woodring. Finishing fifth on the team for the year, senior Mark Hettenhouser drives the ball down the fairway.

This year the cross country teams experienced a mixed season. For the girls it was better than expected; for the boys it wasn’t so good. On the girls’ team, sophomore Sharon Webb took the spotlight by winning both the regional and state competitions. She also held the best girls’ time this year with a 15:18 performance. Senior Louis Diaz was one of the premier run- ners for the team also. He held the best boys’ time with 15:54. According to freshman Brad Segura both the boys and the girls had a fairly decent year.

The team celebrates after their close victory over North High during the regular season. Although the varsity volleyball team didn’t go “all the way to states” as they were hoping to do, they still had a very successful season. With their record of 14-1, they tied for the best record in volleyball history at Smithsburg High School. The Lady Leopards also won the Monocacy Valley Athletic League (MVAL) title. The girls’ only loss went to Boonsboro in their first match, but the second time they met during regular season Smithsburg not only gained re- venge, but also ruined Boonsboro’s perfect record. The Lady Leopards also brought another big up- set during the season when they beat North High and gave them their only loss of the season. Once again the team was coached by Miss Cin- dy Young and led by senior co-captains Kim Upde- graff, Tracy Cianelli, and Traci Bragunier. Other seniors on the team included Julie Sanders, Ri- chele Scott, Debbie Warren, and Stephanie Dan- iel.

Seeded first for regional playoffs, the Lady Leopards knew they faced a rough game against rival Boonsboro, and they weren’t disappointed. Boonsboro, seeded second, won the regional con- test and went on to win the state championship for class C schools. When the Lady Leopards finally met up with the Warriors in the final games of the playoffs, they were both undefeated. With a slow start, the Lady Leopards fell behind and lost the first game to Boonsboro with a score of 15-5. Smithsburg came out stronger in the second game, but could not pull it off. They lost by a 15-9 score. The coach explains strategy and offers words of confi- dence to the team members during a time out.

Court Season Ends 10-13: Varsity Guys Disappointed Due to a winning football season, the Varsity Leopards basketball team suffered. However, after a couple weeks of practice and the first six games of the season, the boys showed their sheer athletic talent by going 4-2 before a Christmas tournament at Southern Garrett High School. At the Snowball Classic, the Leopards were clearly out-classed facing such teams as Fort Hill and Parkersburg Academy. After the Christmas break the varsity turned out a disappointing 6-9 performance to conclude the season at 10-13. The highpoint of the season was a 68-67, qua- druple overtime, victory over Linganore in front of a packed Smithsburg gym. This thriller was fol- lowed by a win at FSK, a loss at Middletown, and another 68-67 win at Boonsboro. The Leopards then entered the regional play- offs, where they played well but lost to Walkers- ville 61-51 to end the season. The team was led by Greg McGuirk (All-County, All-MVAL 2nd team, 15.6 scoring average, and 12.4 rebounds per game), Dennis Daily (Honor- able Mention All-MVAL, 12.4 scoring average, and 61 total assists), Sean Pugh (8.4 points per game), Kevin Calhoun (8.3 points per game), and Todd Murray (8.1 points per game). The season was a disappointing one but the Smithsburg Leop- ards still commanded respect in the MVAL and in the Washington County area. Greg towers over Wildcat opponents for a rebound.

This conception was proved wrong when the Lady Leopards, who were said to be re- building, finished with a 13-10 record. The team was relatively small, with a front line that included inexperienced sophomores and freshman standout Cindy Darrah. Howev- er, five seasoned seniors balanced the team. Tracy Cianelli and Traci Bragunier manned the forward positions while Julie Sanders and Kim Updegraff handled the backcourt with passes that often led to layups. Coming off the bench, Debbie Warren displayed spurts of instant of- fense and hustle. A tough loss to Brunswick, 45-44, opened the season. One highlight of the year was a Coach Rose Pelligrino was assisted by Rick Schultz.

Updegraff scored a game- high 33 points. The last season game, however, was said to be the best all-around game, ending in a 53-49 win against Linganore to put the team into regional playoffs. Hopes were high as the girls entered a first % round game with Brunswick, but these hopes were soon crushed when the Railroaders pulled off a 57-51 win. On the year, Sanders was the leading re- bounder, and Updegraff was the leading scor- er. Kim was named to the All-Washington County Second Team and the MVAL Second Team. Also named to the Washington County Second Team was Tracy Cianelli who was giv- en honorable mention on the All-MVAL team. Varsity Basketball — 79 Wrestling Coach Joe Dietrich knew the two key words that would make his wrestlers great: condi- tioning and technique. The beginning of the 1985 wrestling season held a lot of optimism for Coach Dietrich and the Leopard teammates. Last year’s team did very well and produced three individual state champi- ons. Coach Dietrich knew this was a tough act to follow. However, this year’s team had ambitions to equal or top last year’s season. Returning to this year’s team was senior Eric Bender and junior Steve Shifflett who holds the state title for last season. Other top wrestlers in- clude Mark Hettenhouser, Mike Johnson and Jeff Chaney. For the first time in nine years, the Leopards defeated the Williamsport wrestlers. Another highlight for the year occurred when the Leopards had six members advance to the regional matches held at North High. These include Eric Bender, Steve Shifflett, Jeff Chaney, Mark Hettenhouser, Gordon Poffenberger and Mike Johnson. The only member to win states this year was junior Steve Shifflett. Steve, along with Mark Het- tenhouser and Eric Bender, traveled to the state match held at Western Maryland College. In the semi-finals Steve defeated his opponent from Elk- ton 9-3, and in the finals downed Gus Oakley from Aberdeen 9-2. Steve completed the season with a record of 27-0 and in three years has put together a record of 88-3.

Coach George Knight gives his men their final instructions before they take to the field. This year’s jayvee football team did very well considering the limited number of players on the squad. The team fielded fifteen players, and sometimes there weren’t even that many on the bench due to both injury and illness of various team members. The team’s record was 3-5, two of those losses were by a total of nine points. The team was led by sophomore Kevin Smith, the leading rusher and Barry Willard, sophomore, the team’s leading tackle. Cap- tains for the team were Jeff Harshman and Barry Willard. Offensively, the team did a very good job of opening holes for Kevin Smith and of protect- ing quarterback Harshman. This valuable pro- tection gave Harshman adequate time to throw to his leading receiver Tim Smith. Even though the team had a losing season, several players gained in experience to make them better replacements for graduating se- niors on the varsity squad. A strong goal line stand is the best way to prevent an opponent from scoring against your team.

Without the help of veteran play- ers Brooke Boyer, Stacy Butler, Laura Lowe, and Julie Scott, not forgetting the help of Coach Rose Powell, this year’s improvement would not have been possible. Other factors which supported the team’s im- provement was the strong serving from Laura Lowe, the strong spiking from Cynthia Darrah, and the consistent setting from Stacy Butler, who set up most of the offensive attacks. “Our best match,” remembers Julie Scott, “was our match at Clear Spring.

The 1984-85 girls junior varsity basketball team had another successful season this year. With a record of 17-2 last season, the girls added a game this year and finished at 17-3. Off to a bad start, the girls lost their first two games, but went on to win seventeen of their last eighteen. The girls were led by the scoring of freshman Sharon Thrailkill and sophomore Laura Lowe, the quickness of freshman Kelli Winters, and the rebounding of sophomores Julie Scott and Angie Alexander. In addition to the five start- ers, the Leopard reserves made large contribu- tions to some key victories during the season. The girls await the outcome of the rebound in the game against Brunswick. J.V. Basketball — Girls — 97 Freshmen Have Productive Season Although their record did not show it, the mem- bers of the 1984 freshman football team had a very productive season.

These doubts seemed true when the young Leopards lost their first game to Catoctin 46-43. But, after apparent opening game “jitters,” the frosh won their next 12 out of 13 games to finish 12-2. The only other loss was a heartbreaking 44- 42 loss at the hands of a strong Waynesboro team. The young Leopards then romped over Williamsport and North to finish the season. The team was 9-1 versus MVAL opponents, 9-0 against Washington County teams, and they lost their two games by a total of only five points. The future for basketball at Smithsburg for the class of '88 looks very promising. Freshman Basketball — 101 The jayvee cheerleaders for 1984-85 consist of: Samantha Manges. Krista Sipes.

Forfeiting many humid August evenings, the band began working on their entertaining half-time show which was later performed at many football games. These games included all home games, the Williamsport away game.the semi-final play-off game held on Leopard turf and the State Championship game at University of Maryland’s Byrd Stadium. The band also performed their half-time show at the annual Showcase of Bands. After the showcase performance band members began preparing for parade activities. This year the Leopard Band marched in the SHS Homecoming Parade, the Alsatia Mummers Parade and the Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Va. Determination, dedication and a lot of extra practice made the year both fun and successful. Band — 107 (Left) Messing around before full band has become a tradition for these rowdy band members.

Beginning with the traditional Christmas concert, the concert band presented a total of three con- certs during 1984-85. The Christ- mas concert featured holiday songs and included the traditional conclu- sion — the playing of Sleigh Bells. The woodwind and brass ensemble also performed at the annual event. After the Christmas vacation, SHS band members, under the di- rection of Mr. Harry Wacker, be- gan to practice for the Spring con- cert. Wearing uniforms, the play- ers performed such songs as “The Movies”, and “The Typewriter”. With great anticipation, the se- niors started to prepare for the Pops Concert. Seniors began by voting for conductors and selecting the music to be performed. Senior conductors included Christy Eyler, Missy Huff, Kelly Monahan and Mindy Riggs. The concert included hits from such art- ists as Huey Lewis and Lionel Ri- chie. Songs from the Footloose soundtrack were also featured. 108 — Band Mr. Harry Wacker conducts the brass ensemble during the Christmas con- cert.

The jazz ensemble also had a Christmas dance at the firehall with cooperation from the Explorer’s Club. They managed to continue their win- ning tradition by earning three superior ratings for the fifth straight year at the Maryland State Jazz Festival at Mont- gomery College. The band also compet- ed in the Arundel Jazz Festival, coming out on top over 15 other bands with five superior ratings. The jazz band hosted the twelfth An- nual Blue Ridge Jazz Festival in April. The competition featured ensembles j from the tri-state area and Shepherd College as the guest band. The ensem- ble capped the year off by performing at the school’s Pops Concert and was given a standing ovation. Several dedicated seniors have car- ried on the tradition of holding up ban- ners during a student solo spot to em- barrass their friends.

Jazz Band — 111 They Followed Their Hearts To ‘Old Broadway’ Last school year, Smithsburg High School was missing that spe- cial something; however, the 1984-85 school year regained the missing piece to the school’s clubs and activities puzzle. The school once again had a Drama Club. Lacking an advisor last year, many students missed the excite- ment of watching and performing in the theatre. Several dedicated students went to SHS’s All-School Production director, Mrs. Nancy Reedy-Bushey to discuss the reorganization of the club. After she agreed, under the leadership of Wendy Avey, club president, the organizations members worked diligently on each and every pro- ject. To bring the drama club members together, a two day trip to New York City was planned. While in the Big Apple, the group went sight-seeing, spent their money at Macy’s, and ate in China- town and at world famous Sardis restaurant. The two major events of the trip were seeing an Off-Broadway musical hit, “Little Shop of Horrors” and attending the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” in Green- wich Village. Other major club events during the school year included fund- raisers, the Fall Production (“Everybody Loves Opal”), and a break dance contest. The annual Christmas show was also under the auspices of the club. During Homecoming festivities, the club showed their school spirit by entering a float in the parade and prepared skits for the Homecoming bonfire. Drama Club members include: Stacey Davis; Kim Wiley; Dawn McMillan; Maureen Ungvarsky; Michelle Spaid; Kim Richards; Michelle McLean; Darryl Catts; Dennis Wolfe; Amaya Doty; Jennifer Dorney; Gina Clevenger; Lisa Avey; Danielle Bond; Kim Kirkham; Denis Martinez; Jeff Chaney; Jon Deckert; Karen Oyster; Paige Reedy; Brian Walker; Chris Spaid; Troy Williard; Gary Boswell; David Frey; Michelle Darrah, vice president; Dina Corsi, assistant secretary-treasurer; Chris Ferro. David Mathias; Chris Kann; Jennifer Johnson; Greg Martin; Debbie Redmond; Stephanie Strauss, treasurer; Sherry Orndorff; Donnie Stockslager; Michelle Glesner, secretary; Mrs. Nancy Reedy-Bushey, advisor; and Wendy Avey, president.

Under the direction of Mrs. Nancy Reedy-Bushey, the cast went through two months of rehearsals to prepare for the show. Formed of members of the Drama Club, the cast was as follows: Wendy Avey — Opal Kronkie; Debbie Redmond — Gloria Gulock; Donnie Stockslager — Professor Bradford Winter; Chris Spaid — Solomon Bozo; Chris Ferro — the Doctor; and Chris Kann — Officer Joe Jankie. A special guest appearance was made by Topper Kann who portrayed Mister Tanner, Opal’s cat. This year’s Fall Production was unlike all other drama club productions. The play was filled with comedy and suspense and kept the audience entertained throughout the show. The Doctor (Chris Ferro) seems to be upset. What he really needs is a psy- chiatrist. Brad (Donnie Stockslager) refuses to take a swig of cough medicine be- cause the container is marked •SHAMPOO.

Chorus Show Choir — 115 OM Team Wins Local, State Title Two of the more mind oriented clubs at SHS are the Chess Club and the Olympics of the Mind team. The Chess Club was once again under the advisorship of Mr. Gehr from the middle school and they met after school during the “chess season to hone their skills and prepare for matches with oth- er schools. Most of the schools that the team competes against are from outside of the county school system. The Olympics of the Mind team this year once again consisted of volunteer students who were interested in compet- ing in the various problems established for this year. Only one team was fielded, however, since the majority of students were interested in the problem involving the construction of a structure that would hold more than its own weight. The team easily won the county com- petition this year and went on to com- pete at the state level. Having won the state title also allowed the SHS crew to represent the state of Maryland at the international competition held this year at the University of Maryland. Unfortu- nately, the team did not do as well as they had in their two previous competi- tions. The team was advised by Mr. Dirk Hoffman, Mr. Ken Baker, and Mrs. Eve- lyn Dixon. 116 — Olympics of the Mind Chess Team Checks Opponents Chess Team — 117 Underclassmen, Newspaper Staff Help Seniors Compile ’85 Annual Yearbook staff members are ROW 1: Jill Keller.

The word “remarkable can not adequately descrioe the un- ending spirit and determination of the Student Government Asso- ciation. With 52 members as its driving force, SGA’s enthusiasm and spirit spread throughout SHS. The success of all the Home- coming activities may be recog- nized as the SGA’s greatest ac- complishment for the year. Many contributions to the com- munity were also on the SGA’s agenda, such as a Christmas canned food drive which earned SHS a bronze can award. The SGA also succeeded in establish- ing a student activities office and a school calendar of events. In January, other SGA activi- ties benefitted the Smithsburg High student body. Students of Smithsburg were granted more parking space when the SGA lob- bied the Board of Education for a new parking lot. In February, the SGA sponsored a very successful Valentine’s Day Dance with mu- sic provided by 107X. March proved to be a good month also with a student-faculty basketball game which brought in over three hundred dollars for the athletic department. The SGA also sponsored a Blood Drive in March which brought in over 60 pints of blood. Rev. James T. Delaney was the SGA’s guest speaker in April. Four SGA members attended the Maryland Student Council Con- vention in Oxon Hill. Teacher Ap- preciation week beginning April 29. was an end of the year pro- ject as well as the traditional scholarship banquet.

Clubs Interested in Present and Past Ecology The SHS Ecology Club has really accomplished a great deal this year. One of the things that they have accomplished is cleaning up the creek behind the high school. Several truck loads of trash were cleared from this area. They have also planted trees down near the creek to start a nursery. The club has also given $100.00 to help wildlife. They bought the school a videotape system for the students’ use at lunch time. They also provided a life-saving course. They also have a trip to the ocean planned for nest year. Mr. Ken Ray is the advisor of the club. Officers of the club are Tony Knott, president; Brian Concovia, vice-president; Dawn Boggs, secretary and Barbie Smith, treasurer.

Archeology Roman ruins may be a thing of the past but SHS’s new archeology club under the direction of Mr. Ken Ray wants to uncover the facts about it. The Archeology Club, whose membership started strong with 13 members has dropped to just three but they’ve had two guest speakers and have high hopes for a future trip to Egypt. Guest speaker Tootie Ridenour shared her slides of Europe which showed many Roman ruins and told of her experiences of working on an archeological dig which un- earthed more Roman ruins. Mrs. Ray was also a guest speak- er who discussed and shared her archeological knowledge with the club. The three current members are president, Diana Stansberry; vice- president, Lori Berger and Wanda Brenot as both secretary and trea- surer. 122 — FHA Eco!ogy Archeology A-V Members Aide Faculty With Films, Equipment (Left) AV Club officers are Tony McGraw, Tim Yates.

In October eager new members are initiated into the FFA; they are in store for a busy year. By attending several farm related activities, club members hope to gain knowledge in their fields. Traveling to such events as the Harrisburg Farm Show and the Frederick Fair combines work and play. Several members also attended a leadership conference in September. Socially FFA members remain active by both competing on their own basketball team and organizing several field trips such as a trip to Mt. Vernon and a fishing trip. Professionally FFA members are also very successful. SHS poultry judges placed first in state competition and will be traveling to Kansas City, Missouri, in November. FFA — 125 The 1984-85 theme, “The Magic of FBLA” sure proved to be true. FBLA held many social, service and professional activities throughout the year. They started the year with a pizza party at Rocky’s and received a third place trophy for their “Magical” float in the SHS Homecoming Parade. During teacher’s appreciation week, FBLA hosted a party after school for teachers; for National Secretaries Day, FBLA provided a brunch for both secretaries and secretarial students. Each month FBLA sent money to Kaewwilailak Janpeng, their foster child, to help feed and clothe her. Service projects include typing papers for teachers and selling tickets before school. Eight senior members were accepted into the International Management Council this year. Fifteen members of the group attended the Fall Leadership Conference held in Hagerstown, which stressed the importance of FBLA. Seventeen members represented Smithsburg at regional competition at Brunswick. First and second place winners were eligible to compete in state competition. All nine finalists received awards at the state convention held in Hagerstown. First place winners were Belinda Embly, Shorthand I and Laura Detrow and Leslie Werner, Business Graphics. Second place winners were Melissa Huff, Accounting II; Sheila Jones, Shorthand II and Kim Shockey, Business Law. Other winners included Laura Ridge, Clerk Typist I, fifth; Tom Moser, Job Interview, ninth; Kristine Eyler, Ms. FBLA, Honorable Mention. Leslie, Laura, Belinda, Yvette, Melissa, Sheila and Mrs. Knode ended the year preparing for some fast high- steppin’ action by putting on their cowboy hats and heading for Houston, Texas, for National Competition. Belinda, Leslie and Laura were eligible to compete. To close the year FBLA held their annual Spring Awards Banquet and initiation of officers.

The 1984-85 Latin Club with advisor Tootie Ridenour kept the ROMA tradition going. The club re- mained the biggest and most ac- tive Latin club in Washington County. The year began with the annu- al trip to Latin Day at the Univer- sity of Maryland, where SHS took second place in the banner con- test. Also a special part of Latin Day were the sweatshirts which were designed by the club mem- bers to show the groups’ spirit during Latin Day ceremonies. Advisor Tootie Ridenour served as a most gracious hostess for three holiday parties includ- ing a Halloween costume party, a November turkey feast and a Christmas lasagna dinner. In addition to other activities, several fundraisers including can- dy sales and bake sales were held, and two successful canned food drives were conducted. Jn March the Latin Club attended West Side Story” along with the Spanish Club at a Washington area dinner theatre.

Door prizes were given out and new members received pins. In December, a Christmas dinner was held at the Bonanza Steak House. The Spanish Club held fund raisers such as selling charm pops and jewelry. In March students had the opportunity to travel to the Harlequin Dinner Theatre to see West Side Story. In April Spanish students had the opportunity to travel to Spain. On April 4, eleven Smithsburg students, Mrs. Paci and Spanish students form other schools in Washington County left for Spain. The first 3 days were spent at the Costa Del Sol. From there they went to Coronado and Cordoba. Then it was on to Madrid. While in Madrid they visited old castles and palaces. When reaching Madrid students were given free time to roam the streets. Of course the favorite hang-out was McDonalds! All things considered it was a fun and successful trip.

Kelly Baker and Jennifer Johnson appear to be working on a funny story. Advisor Beth Dundus supervises the newspaper staff. The 1984-85 Leopard Prints newspaper staff was the smallest ever according to advisor Miss Beth Dundus. Only three staffers returned from last year with Kari Freeman serving as editor-in-chief. The year also marked the first time students were offered the Jour- nalism I class. Twelve students signed up for the class to learn about all aspects of producing a paper; how the different types of stories were written; and how to do a layout, write headlines, and copy edit. Because of the small staff, other students lent their time to help with the paper, among them Marianna Brown, Wendy Avey, and Todd Nickey. The first annual Washington County High School Journalism Awards banquet was held in April. Six Smithsburg High students won a total of 11 awards for feature, news, and sports categories. The Leopard Prints also won an award for best copy work, headlines, and layout. Also for the first time, issues of the Leopard Prints for the 1984-85 year were sent to the University of Maryland ratings service to be criti- qued. 132 — Newspaper Tracey Bohn busily types her story to beat deadlines.

In keeping with the traditions of SHS, once a year we set aside a week for Teacher Appreciation.’ The teachers are thanked by receiving an apple and in some cases a free day when a student will switch places with a teacher; but what is the life of a teacher like? Their year starts before the first day of school for students as they try to orga- nize their rooms and plan lessons for their classes. Once school begins class- room life for a teacher is a mixture of effort, determination and patience. The efforts of the teachers are backed up by the administrative staff; our principal, Mr. Gerald Hammond and vice-principal, Mr. John Ingersoll, who both help keep SHS running smoothly.

This year SHS also had two student teachers, Mr. Archie Graff teaching history and Mr. Ray Shriver, math teacher. Mrs. Judy Kline and Mrs. Dixie Vannoy were welcomed in as secre- tary in the main office and guidance office respectively. Mrs. Beverly Shobe was a new counselor this year in the Guidance Department and Mrs. Bonnie Greenwald joined us this year to help a blind freshman girl, Jenny Verdier, adjust to our high school.

The roles of the advisors and coaches varied, from each other in many different ways but the common bond these teachers shared was the effort they put out to help the students. This year’s class advisors, which include Mrs. Jamie Paci, class of ’85; Miss Lori Spec- tor and Miss Sue Copple . class of ’86; Mrs. Nancy Reedy-Bushey, class of ’87; and Miss Anne Higman, class of ’88, used their time and abilities to hold fundraisers, plan class trips, prepare floats for homecoming, and add piz- zazz to the halls during spirit week. The clubs, groups and organizations that made their home at SHS have many varied interests. To meet the needs of these clubs many of our faculty have volunteered their time to be advisors.

Jon Kalback Diversified Occupations Beverly Shobe Guidance Counselor Dixie Vannoy Guidance Secretary Iolene Coss Secretary to the Principal Faculty — 145 Administrators Lead Staff, School There have been those who say that teachers gang up when they give home- work. Some say they scheme together and plan large amounts of homework for a single night. But these are only ru- mors. It always happens. You’ve planned that big Friday night date for weeks and you’re bursting with anticipation for the big event. All week long you dragged through Mr. Gordon’s typing class, and Mr. “Quiz-A-Day” Hammond’s physics class. You rode home on the bus daydream- ing of the big date. As you dream, you imagine how it will be. Unknown to you while you dream of the ideal date, back at the high school, your teachers were having a secret meeting. There they sat in a so called “teacher's planning period with their brows crinched and their brains schem- ing. Mrs. Prelog was the first to speak. She’rose from the group with her hands folded and her heart as cold as steel. “Let’s give him a whole chapter’s worth of assignments this weekend! shouted she with a sadistic smirk. “And five or six labs,” bellowed Mr. Hammond, some real nasty ones.” “And I,” interjected Miss Higman, will make him write such a program that he’ll be up till Monday morning try- ing to figure it out. And when he asks me how to do it I’ll just snort at him and say it’s cake. The group cheered at their beastly plan. They laughed and patted them- selves on the back for their accomplish- ments. Slowly Miss Dundus rose. She smiled at the group and let a slow bark out. “I” she sneered, “will make him write a 20000 word editorial on the universal benefactors of the use of cinder block in public school systems.” “No, something difficult,” shouted Tootie as she came through the doorway carrying a small pile of books entitled “Latin — Sure It’s Dead but Let’s Make Them Learn It Anyway.” Chuckes and giggles rose from the group. Each teacher shook the others’ hand at their accomplishments. They were going to get the little twerp for all the tardies, all the SGA meetings he had asked to get out of class for, all the times he asked to go to the bathroom and for all the times he had the nerve to get the flu and miss their classes. Suddenly the light grew dim. A billow- ing gust of wind swept through the teachers lounge, encircling the teachers’ bones like the icy grip of death itself. They knew who it was that had arrived. It was “the beast,” “the Coach,” the ultimate homework giver himself; Mr. A1 Ritchick. A loud and solid pounding was heard at the door, the echo of which shook the walls and made the teachers freeze with horror. The door slowly swung open with a long, high pitched, eerie screech. There the hulking figure stood in the doorway, his red eyes glar- ing, the one known to all as the “Student Killer . All of the teachers, their knees trembling, sat as the beast-teacher strode into the room and took his place at the head of the table. He stared down upon their planning books and let out a mad burst of dark, sadistic laughter. He pounded his massive blood soaked fist down upon the table and spoke. His voice was that of hell’s thunder. “You call that a tough homework as- signment? Oh, I pity your poor aching souls!” The teachers stared at each oth- er in shame as the teacher-thing reached into his cape and brought out a huge glowing black book labeled Thy Punish- ment Book. He threw open the pages and began to read as a devilish smile crept across his face. “I shall make him read and summa- rize The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, a mere 2000 pages. Then on to Treasure Island. ATale of Two Cities, The Last of the Mohiacons, Tom Saw- yer, the latest Batman and Swampthing comics, all of the Sports Illustrated magazines from 1974 to the present, five books on how to prepare Hindu sal- ad dressing, and to totally confuse them. Mike Nehring’s Scene articles.” The teachers bowed their heads in defeat. They had truly been beaten. “And now!” Ritchick bellowed raising his mighty fist into the air, “we will com- bine our assignments into one great one and lay it down upon him come Friday. And he shall be crushed under the tre- mendous pile of homework.” Something must be done to stop this horrid act. Students must be allowed to enjoy their weekends again. Week after week the teachers meet, having a real ball when test time comes around. It must be stopped. 146 — Faculty (Top left,) Mr. Ingersoll presents gifts to retirees Mr. Price and Mrs. Baughman at a faculty picnic. (Top right.)

Faculty — 147 Video Prom Controversy The 1984-85 school year was a year for laughs, anxi- eties. and tears for the junior class. Their year was one filled with ups and downs, but happily, mostly ups. Many talented athletes were able to shine in varsity sports. Those with leadership ability excelled in their respective roles as club officers. Life outside school took on new meaning: part time jobs, car privileges, and. more meaningful friendships. Hopes and dreams were begin- ning to be realized and one of the biggest worries — the prom — turned out to be a great accomplishment. Organizing the prom was a big responsibility and the cause of many headaches. Controversy over the choice to have videos instead of a band brought about heated arguments, not only between the senior and junior classes, but also among members of the junior class itself. However, the success of the prom, with the theme “Ro- mance in the Orient,” was very rewarding to the class members who dedicated so much of their outside time to work on this project. After the prom was over, thoughts began to turn to- wards graduation. As the seniors prepared for their big day, the juniors were busy preparing for the traditional Baccalaureate Tea that the juniors hold in honor of the seniors. Not only were the juniors looking forward to the tea. but graduation also marked the time that the juniors began to look forward to next school year and their chance to be on top.

Juniors — 153 LEOPARD SPOTlightS Junior Class Enjoys Free Time, Friends What did you do during the week- ends of the 1984-85 school year? Did you cruise the Dual or were you a groupie at the WQCM dances? Did you visit the local Bowl-a-Rama, or were the movies more your style? Perhaps you just went to the mall, or did the unthinkable, and enjoyed an evening at home. The junior class did all of this and more. Hagerstown may not have an overabundance of leisure time ac- tivities, but the most resourceful kids always seem to find something to do. Whether it was Saturday night at the dance or Sunday after- noon at the movies, the members of the junior class were always doing something. Fall and Spring found the drive- ins open and packed with kids from Smithsburg. Bowling, a sport you may have thought only existed in television s Bowling for Dollars, be- came a popular Friday night adven- ture. Still others of the junior class spent their spare moments at Yin- glings, trying to improve their putt- putt” scores. So next time you’re strollin’ the mall, or making fun of the girl with pizza sauce running down her chin, remember that it doesn’t take much to have fun when all the gang is together. Who me? I didn’t take anything. Matt and Brian play gin with Chris Ferro. The van is ready and we are ready, so let’s cruise the Dual! 154 — Junior Mini-Mag Prom Jitters: Is It Worth It? For many SHS students, the prom is the biggest event of the year. It is the one night to play “dress up”, and go out to eat with a “friend” at some place other than “Mickey-Dee’s”. To take a “behind the scenes look” at the prom is astonishing. The juniors raise as much money as possible throughout their freshman and sophomore years to hold a de- cent prom. This can prove to be tir- ing. After all, how many refrigerator magnets can one sell in two years? Of course the people who will at- tend the prom have their own prob- lems. A junior or senior girl who doesn’t have a date to the prom, might as well be a pimple on some- one’s face in her own opinion. She will go through every torture possi- ble to get a prom date. Laying in the first sun to be seen in the spring, counting every calorie that passes her lips, putting on a pound of Clearasil a night and being equipped with clorettes at all times, are only a few of the hazards which some go through. If by April 30 no date is to be found, it simply could not be blamed on their personalities, it must have been that week when they didn’t shave their legs and wore shorts in gym! Boys, on the other hand, have their own set of problems to face. They must first find “THE DATE”, not just any girl, either. Most boys chicken out and leave “the girl to be seen with” to the captain of the foot- ball team. The average boy will ask a girl who he’s pretty sure will say yes. After all, who needs rejections when it’s taken three months to get up your nerve to ask someone? Another problem is ordering the right color corsage. Many of the boys seem to have trouble coordi- nating the flowers with their dates’ dresses. They assure their moms that they’re capable of picking a flower, “any dummy can do it”, but the results are devastating. Navy blue flowers are not pretty on a pas- tel dress, sorry guys. Also, a small corsage will do, let’s leave the shrubbery for the front lawn. Senior Aide Writes Letter of Warning When I received my schedule the summer before my senior year, and found that I had been chosen to be teacher’s aide, I was relieved. I would have a free hour every day to do as I pleased. I was in for a big surprise the second day of school. At first it wasn’t too bad. The only things 1 really had to do were file a few folders and wash the chalk- board and I was done. I still usually had about 45 minutes to waste. As the year went on, the work increased. Every day I had less and less free time. Before I knew it I was staying after the bell rang to finish my jobs. My teacher had me doing every- thing from getting her coffee to cleaning her desk to painting the walls of the classroom. I really be- gan hating being a teacher’s aide. I wanted out. I couldn’t stand be- ing the victim of a mad slave driver. I went to the guidance office to change my schedule, but they told me it was too late. I would have to stick it out to the bitter end. Every day I listened to her, and still returned the next day for more abuse. 1 took it all like a man though. To those juniors planning to be a teacher’s aide: DON’T DO IT! Take something easy like Advanced Chemistry or Calculus. The boys’ biggest problem in tak- ing a girl to the prom is money. They work forty hours of overtime to pro- vide their date with a nice dinner, which may turn out to be anything but nice. Both kids are so nervous about spilling something or having a big chunk of meat hanging between their teeth that they forget that the other is there and hide behind menus. Then comes the actual dance. Real nice. You spend two months preparing for two hours which are filled with looking at each other, drinking fruit punch, getting your pictures taken and watching the brave ones fast dance. The prom is enough to give any- one an ulcer, but several genera- tions have survived this deadly or- deal. In the end it proves to be the most memorable and special time of the year which couldn’t be traded with anything. “Oh my, what a horrible tux. 1 think Michelle is on her way to an ulcer.

Every year school work gets a little harder because we are progressing to college and the working life. School work has to be somewhat harder because if it wasn’t we wouldn’t be able to sur- vive what’s to come in the future. Learning new and more complicat- ed things helps us to prepare for the future. Most classes are harder because they are becoming more in depth. Each class that is taken builds from classes that were previously taken. For example, many sophomores take chemistry. In chemistry, knowledge from Algebra is used and ideas of physical science that were learned in your freshman biol- ogy class. Most students take lan- guages or if they don’t, they have English and, of course, you should expect the second year of a class to be at least a little harder than the first. By the middle of the year, things become a little easier for most stu- dents, because they have learned what the teachers expect from them. Students learn how testing in each class is done and they develop a study pattern that they stay with. Students also understand how to get on the same wave length” as the teachers, so that whenever a paper is due or there is homework to be turned in, it is done in the format that the teacher wants. School work and classes for the most part, have gotten harder in the sophomore year. The classes have gotten harder to prepare us for future learning, which, by good judgement, will be harder than the work we are doing now. Finally, the year that teens long await — sixteen! Almost every teen looks forward to this age, but some have to wait longer than oth- ers. But what is the big deal? Oh yes. receiving a driver’s license. Is it really that great though? Sure, now we don’t always have to be driven by our parents. That is a big change in itself. If it so hap- pens, though, that your birthday falls in the early part of the year, you may feel pressured into having to drive others around. Just like you, they are sick of being driven by parents. The case with them, though, is that they may have a few months, or as much as a year, to wait for their chance to drive. That leaves you to do the driving. In most cases, though, there is an even bigger problem. Parents . . . Most teens aren’t fortunate enough to get their own car to drive wher- ever they want. So, that means they have to ask to borrow the fam- ily car and that presents a problem. Maybe because your parents need their car, or they just don’t want you driving it. Nevertheless, being one of the first in your class to get a license can make you feel older than the others around you. LEOPARD SPOTlightS At Long Last - Rings! Finally, that long awaited piece of ever-so-important jewelry has arrived. Your class ring now offi- cially adornes your sophomore fin- ger! You know how it is. Ever since you were a freshman you envied those who has those hunks of metal with various colored stones and the design of the wearer’s choice around their fingers. Somehow you managed to make it through your freshman year, and the traditional sophomore ring was in sight. Now, many high school people are under the illusion that unless they purchase a class ring (sopho- more year, of course) they will be totally out of it. This is the picture that many ring jewelers paint. As Josten’s says, With a Josten’s class ring, you’ve got high school wrapped around your finger. An- other jeweler, Artcarved, pro- claims “A class ring says more than just where you went to school.” These are both very fine jewelers but I seriously doubt that if you purchase one of their rings, high school will be wrapped around your finger. Being a sophomore. I’ll admit I couldn’t wait to get my class ring. But I have learned that purchasing a class ring hasn’t made me “it”. Instead, I know I’ll always have it to treasure and it’ll serve as a remind- er of the great times I had at Smithsburg High School. 162 — Sophomore Mini-Mag Finally Driving! Finally, the year that teens long await — sixteen! Almost ev- ery teen looks forward to this age, but some have to wait longer than others. But what is the big deal? OH yes, receiving a driv- er’s license. Is it really that great though? Sure, now we don’t always have to be driven by our parents. That is a big change in itself.

So, that means they have to ask to borrow the family car and that presents a problem. Maybe be- cause your parents need their car, or they just don’t want you driving it.

You have only four more years until you’re on your own. Going from top to bottom has its advantages and disadvantages. The first few weeks of school aren’t as bad as you may have thought they would be. You get off the hook a lot since you are new and haven’t been around that long. Teachers are understanding when it comes to being late for classes or forgetting something. One good thing about high school is that you meet new people and make new friends. People that used to seem like idols in middle school are likely to now be your best friends. Dances, pep rallies, and other school activities are all new things that come along with being in high school. They help you meet new people and they are a lot of fun. The dances and pep rallies were always things that were looked forward to in eighth grade. Another advantage of being a freshman is that you learn a lot. You learn what to say when you’re around others. Also your wardrobe changes with the new fashions. Altogether, these new friends teach you the high school way of life. These advantages sound nice but there are also disadvantages that even things out. One of them is that you’re the youngest in the school. If you do something not up to high school standards, upperclassmen say Oh, he’s just a freshman” or “typical freshman for ya. Another disadvantage is at the beginning of the sports season, while uniforms and equipment are being handed out, freshmen are always at the bottom of the list. The only thing you can say about the uniforms is, “At least 1 have one.” They are what you would picture them to be, the hand-me- downs, or in other words, the worst of the bunch. Being a freshman has its advantages when it comes to upperclassmen being able to do what they want when they want. When something needs to be done upperclassmen say, “Let a freshman do it.” At lunch time your job is to take up everyone’s tray. In eighth grade whatever you said or did was law. As a freshman, if you said those things that you used to, people just laugh in your face and make you feel about an inch high. If you asked an upperclassman to do something, you learn quickly that you might as well do it yourself. 170 — Freshmen HI — uauiqsajj u ) Special Benefactors Dr. Mrs. Albert J.

Aster clusters and goldenrod Blossom by the orchards’ sod. While some think Leopard colors odd, I find the hues are blessed by God. Watching teams in yellow jersies, I ask our Father’s tender mercies. ’Neath threatening clouds or rays of sun, We spend our years in work and fun. By lilac clumps and tulips yellow Heart and mind begin to mellow. In dandelion and violet I think of students I have met. In thistle heads and mullein spikes, Forever more I’ll see the likes Of boys in purple, girls in gold, Facing futures yet untold. Nostalgia strikes, emotions vary, I turn to the west, no more to tary. I head toward home, and there I’ll sup By Antietam phlox and buttercup. By Gladys C. Baughman May 1985 208 — Closing v;
