, GIAHIAN CLASS IN REVIE ln 1942, we ente.ed high school as Fresihmen,green as the grass of spring. The class was so big that it had to be divided between 'Mr. 'Earhart and Mr. Bready. 1942-43 was a year of many parties and substitute teachers. Having so many timid student teachers made things quite exciting. A few paper airplanes Hew about the room that year. It never happened again. The class officers for the year were as follows: President, 'George Sauble, Vice- President, Cordelia Mackley, Secretary, Mary Louise Roop, and Treasurer, Gloria Simpson. Returning from a happy vacation, we soon settled down for another successful year under the presi- dency of James Henry Fair. Dolores Waddell was Vice-Presidentg Josephine Hess, Secretary and Cor- delia Mackley, Treasurer. Practically all of the members of the class participated in the newly formed clubs--Dancing, Hiking, and Home Etc. This was the year in which we presented our play version of the classic, Silas Marner. Everyone liked the show, 'b-ut it was a lot of work. A new member joined us that year, Mildred Ingram. Under the Future Farmers of America project which was car- ried on by Mr. Bfiser, several of the boys won state wide contests. In the third year we were governed by President, Bernard Weber, George Sauible who acted as his as- sistant, Josephine Hess, Secretary and Mildred In- gram, Treasurer. We soon noticed the absence of many of our classmates who had left to take jobs because of the war. We again raised chickens to pay for our banquet. The main attractions for the latter half of the year were the glee cluib party and the Junior Senior baniquet. The Banquet was held in Richard McAllister Hotel, in Hanover, Pennsyl- vania, with Harry Marsh's Orchestra furnishing the dance music. We will always remember this Junior- Senior Banquet as one of the most enjoyable events of our high school career. Tilzvl. ln the Fall of 1945, as Seniors, we noticed that several members of the class had left us. Bernard Weber moved b-ack to Illinois and Kenneth Hull join- de the Navy. Two new members joined us: Audrey Frock from Elmer Wolfe High School and Mildred Roop from Westminster. Brut of the original 50, only 25 remained. Miss Gilda Tulli was our new class advisor. 'On the twentieth of November, the operetta Norwegian Nights was presented by the school and Mrs. Yingling with all Seniors partici- pating. Sports played a big part in our Senior year. Eight Senior girls played on the basketball team. Several Senior boys participated in the basketball season. The first athletic meet of our high school career was held this year. We made a good show- ing at the meet. The Senior play, Almost Eighteen which was presented on April 11, was a huge success. As most people like to dance, we enjoyed the dances which were held during the year. We will especially re- member the Spring Formal which was held after the Spring Musical. The Senior Class participated in the Elisteddfod on April 26th at Western Maryland College. This was the tirst Eisteddfod held since we had been in high school. Our class night pre- gram and dance were greatly enjoyed by everyone. We were graduated from T. H. S. on June 6th. This event ended our activities at Taneytown High 19

VIAHMAN DOLORES MARLENE WADDELL T0otie. Rah! Rah! Rah! Look at that score! It's Dolores Waddell On the basketball Hoo-r. There's something sparkling and fresh about Tootie. One wouldn't guess that she could be so much the efficient commercial student and in fact-, the one who was secretary for the office this year. Be- sides, she is athletic. She was star forward of the basketball team and was responsible for achieving the many points made. In dancing, she ranks as one of the best jitterbu-gs of the school. Her sparkle comes from her invariaibly drarnatizing' of humorous events. Her mimicking helps make her one of the most popular members of the class. E l
