History of the Freshman Class The Freshman Class of the Wfashington County High School, standing upon the left bank of the river, looked longingly across at the flowers growing on the other side. Then with one accord the Freshies leaped and landed among their dream castles, which, literally speaking, means they left the gl'Hl'lllllil.1' grades and entered upon their career as High School students. p .There were about three hundred of them from the different schools of Hagerstown and vicinity that assembled to make up the largest class that ever the walls of the W. C. H. S. contained. ' Upon entering the High School, the Freshies were teased by the Sophomores and bossed', by the Seniors. But they let, this pass by, realizing that they too, had in a year's time the opportunity to indulge in this amuse- ment. . It is an extreme pleasure to be given the chance to tell of the victories illld the achievements of the class thus far. It would be hard to enumerate tl1e1n all. However, by this it is not meant that there were no failures and defeats, but they have all proved stepping-stones to greater things. An oppor- tunity will not be given until the latter ,part of the year to elect our oflicers. Not until then can our class as a unit function to the best of its ability. Thus the class of '27 is working with might and main and hopes some day to attain a place of promise farther ahead, called: Graduation, where each will depart and go his separate way through life, proud to have been a member of the Class of '27. i Our grammar school days are over, And the time rolls swiftly by. p lVe look to each tomorrow And pass it with a sigh. And while we're still pursuing Our Science, Math and so, Don't let us Hskipl' and hook 'em, Let's make each hour spell GOP In all, we're just like Freshmen, lVe have to get our start 5 For Juniors, Sophs and Seniors Are Freshmen still at heart. As yet, we've had no socials, Nor fun of any sort, But soon we'll have election, And then we'll have some sport. And now, if you'll excuse us, VVe,ll pause just once to say That in this gra.nd old world of ours lVe'll take our place some day. R. G. Smith, '27. Barnhart, '24. Sixty

l Mn. GLENN l'orn'1Nnnuumn If-Powviyli XV hen one mentions athletics o11e necessarily thinks of Potty for he is the background of all. ' ' To him is awarded the praise of piloting a fair football team to a most successful season. It was he who compelled his light team to overthrow larger and Weightier opponents by l1is ever cheering countenance illld words of spirit. Our basketball team this year While laboring under a. jinx is neverthe- less an attribute to his tireless efforts for with a great expense of labor he placed one of the smoothest teams of our history on thelfloor. Thus our story rea.ds through all sports, for l1is dominant spirit has made our reputation, namely, of possessing cleaner athletics than any neigh- boring school. He has inspired our teams to victory and has instilled a true ll19211ll1lg.0f loyalty to team and school. Sixty-two
