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.
