And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sand of time : -Longfellow The time has come for the largest class in the history of the Stephens City High School to bid a fond farewell to our beloved Alma Mater. We entered Stephens City High School with high hopes and expectations. We have realized most of these aims and pushed upward to higher planes. Of few classes, can it be said, that they entered and left high school with the same number enrolled. There were sixty-one of us four years ago and there are sixty-one of us today. It is true that we have lost some of our original members but these were compensated for by the transfers from other schools. Roy Bayliss, our freshman class president. is also our senior class president. Mrs. Hovermale and Miss Sticklev have been our interested sponsors for all four years of our high school life. Among the pleasant memories of the past happy years, are the educational trips to Hershey and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: the Gettysburg Battle Field: Washington, D. C.: Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown, Virginia. One of our proudest achievements was the purchase of a U. S. Government Bond in lieu of a Christmas Party. This Bond, naming Mrs. Hovermale and Mr. Aylor as co-owners, is our gift to ourschool. At maturity. ten years hence, the Stephens City High School will receive twenty-five dollars. Numerous members of our class have been aiding in the Red Cross work by knitting sweaters and rolling bandages. It has been our custom at Christmas to adopt a needy family and brighten their holiday with food and clothing. The members of our class who have not missed a day, since they matri- culated eleven years ago, are Averyl Warren and James Letterman. We leave with the determination to surmount all obstacles standing in the way of our goal and to lead an abundant life. As the Blue and Gold sails of the Ship of 1942 sink beyond the horizon, another class has launched upon the sea of life. -AVERYL WARREN CI-Iistorianb 000 O if I am to have so much, let me have more. -Walt Whitman We, the class of 1942, being of sound mind are about to relinquish our earthly hold upon the possessions and privileges which we here enjoyed during our four years of high school life, do hereby set our hands and seal to this our last will and testament. Roy Bayliss, Senior Class President, to Billy Sandy, Junior Class President, a book of rules and regulations containing secret methods of slow poisoning of refractory class members. Dan Metz, Senior Class Treasurer, to Ann Lemley, a set of hopelessly muddled class records. Henry Carbaugh leaves Paxton Orndolf his mighty prowess at the bat. Zoe Lemley, Thelma Moorehead, and Betsy Perry leave to Betty Moore and Nancy Taylor their handbook entitled How to Get Your Man and If That Fails Get Somebody Else's. Ruth Parker leaves to all the sophomore girls the addresses of the soldiers Lewis wouldn't let her look at when she visited him at camp.

FRED ALONZO WATTS , Freddie has built many air castles since his birth July 18, 1923, in Yonk- ers. New York. Quick-witted, he has acquired the love of all his teachers?l His saving grace? It is his good native ability. We made him Art Editor of the Newtown Pippin. After he settles down, he will be the best aviation mechanic the Navy ever possessed. Hurrah? for him, our class clown, artist and wit. MARY BELLE WATTS , Q On a sultry day in August, in the city of Charleston, South Carolina, in the year of 1921, on the thirteenth, a benelicent gift came to the Watts family. It was the birth of Mary Belle. After she grew up Cphysicallyj she attended Stephens City High where she became a member of the Girls' Athletic Club, the French Club, Vice-President of the Senior Class and Literary Editor of the Newtown Pippin. As she hopes to be a farmerette, more power to her. AUDREY OLIVIA WHITE Audrey was born near Stephens City, Virginia, May 23, 1922. She joined the Home Economics Club in her freshman year. Audrey belongs to the Glee and Library Clubs. She plans to be a telephone operator. We believe she will make a fine one because her singing voice has the power to soothe. EDITH MAE WI-IITMORE Edith Mae was born May 9. 1925, near Clearbrook, Virginia. She has been a member of the Home Economics Club since her freshman year. Her voice, which won her a place in the Cmlee Club, and her pretty face, will make her an ideal nurse. ' CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH WYANT Cholly breathed her first in Huntington, West Virginia, August 21, 1925. She was a dainty bundle of dynamite when she literally hit Stephens City High. Cholly has participated in the following activities: The Newtown Pippin Staff, Class Poetess, French Club. Girls' Athletic Association, Home Economics Club, Reporter for the Home Economics Club. a twirling Majorette in the Fred- erick County School Band. Her ambition? Well, she really hasn't said, but we think it's wedding bells for her. 4. , .F D 0
