visa Q CQ s ly: 23 i... 'U' s LAST WILL AND Tl4IS'1'AlNIENT illf' TIIE CIAXSS OF 1931 We, the undersigned members of the illustrious senior class of Waynesboro High School, on this twenty-eighth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred thirty- one, being of infinite intellectual ability, do hereby proclaim this document to be the ultimate will and testament of the aforesaid class. All other wills or similar documents heretofore declared to- be the final statements of this class are from henceforth considered null and void and are offered for destruction. The above mentioned class demands that its commencement exercises and all other activi- ties connected with graduation, be conducted in a manner fitting and deserving of its noble and dignified position. Such trivial matters as the expenses of the previously mentioned activities, with which such a famous class has no time to bother, shall be charged to the account of that mass of illiteracy known, for the sake of convenience, as the junior class. The following bequests of possessions no longer needed by the illustrious graduating class are made to persons who have the greatest use for them. I. To that infamous and destestable class of 1932, whose feeble attempts to gain supremacy, which the class of 1931 has so easily attained, are watched with amusement and pity, we leave all our difficulties in mastering English fundamentals, our worries with Virgil and our troubles with Harbaugh's standardized physics exams. To encourage them in their vain struggle over such petty fro usj obstacles, we leave them the loudest and most musical of Gilbert's raspberries. II. To the aforesaid unmenrionable class we leave all our 5 and 6 year classmates who have failed to keep up with the standards of '31 knowing they would be able to obtain high honors in such a lowly class as '32. III. As a last bequest to this class we leave our unexcelled records, both scholastic and athletic, which they may vainly strive to equal. IV. To that highly deserving sister-class of sophomores, struggling for fame, we be- queath our prodigious amount of surplus knowledge and powers of concentration. We also leave to them our excessive and unprecedented declaiming and musical talent which has left its marks in the successful history of our school. q V. Upon this class, whose sacred duty it is to carry on the noble and lofty standards of our excelling class, we confer also all our supplementary helps such as trots, answer books, book reports and English themes. VI. To those exacerbating, shapeless little ends of nothing, withered down to a point, freshmen, by classification, we give all our surpassing good behavior, our good manners, our courtesy and respect for those whose superiority is evident. We leave to them our demo- cratic ideas also, so that those childish and playful organizations known as gangs can be dissolved in a manner fitting to those whose highest ambition is to some day become seniors. VII. As a final consolation gift to these helpless pulpy bits of driftwood, we leave the hope that the juniors when they become seniors, shall put away childish things and pass all their paper-wads, pop-guns, chewing gum, whistles, cap-pistols, rubber bands, dead mice, peanut shells, jumping ropes and those peculiar cranium covers called dinks to the pre- viously designated freshman class. VIII. Upon Mr. Keener we bestow the memory of a class which has completely ful- filled his philosophy of life, and made his first year in W. H. S. such a success. IX. To that busy, bustling figure of Huber D. Strine, we grant our leisure time which was acquired by the ease and quickness with which we completed our designated tasks. X. To Raymond Welty Harbaugh that unsuspicious, and threatening human mail-bag, we leave the money from the sale of missing lab. apparatus. It is our request that this money should be paid entirely in coppers. XI. To Miss Mary Sleichter we present a Robot secretary who, besides caring for her pocketbook, will file all themes, pictures, pencils, etc., which develop myserious legs. XII. To Miss Schue we kindly send some cotton for one ear of each student, so all Latin will not leave the vacuum through an opposite exit. XIII. Upon Miss McKown the class of 1931 bestows its wishes for profound happiness and connubial bliss. The above being the last will of the class of 1931, it demands that all requests should be carried out to the most minute detail. If any difficulty arises, the executors may consult Huber D. Strine, Principal of the above numerously-mentioned institution, who has been exposed to the aims of this class, and whose appreciation of its abilities makes this con- fidence justifiable. We with all due respect, appoint Lillian Fisher Mumma, Samuel Bahner Fleagle and Robert Glenn Sulanke executors of the above testament. In witness whereof we hereunto set our hands and the glorious seal of the class of 1931. Signed--Ruby lone Petrie fSealJ Harold Crunkleton Shuck In the presence of the above authors of this last will and in the presence of each other, we inscribe our pure and unstained names as witnesses thereunto.

X ei fa, 0 S' 2 r L 5 6' . I SENIOR CLASS IIISTOIQY' One can now look back with pleasure on the memorable four short years through which the class of '31 has labored. These four years have been so cheerful and merry that one for- gets the tasks endured in memorizing his shorthand, learning Latin endings and proving diffi- cult theorems. It seems a short time since one hundred thirty nine grammar school students were trans- fered to the lofty halls of the Waynesboro High School. The following September these one hundred thirty nine greenies meekly filed into the main study hall to be disparaged by the dignified seniors, jolly juniors and stupid sophomores. Before these novel experiences had worn off, the freshman class organized under the cap- able direction of Miss Mary Amberson. Bud Fisher and Lin Snider were elected presidents, each serving for one half year. George Machen, Evelyn Rodewick and Lynn Walck were elected as vice president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. It was under such talented of- ficers, with Charles L. Johnston as principal of the school, that '31 received its start. In the window trimming contest of this year, two of the displays decorated by freshmen committees were given honorable mention. In basketball the freshmen shone, for W. H. S. gouid never have won the C. V. A. L. trophy without the aid of Bud Fisher and Lin ni er. One hundred thirty energetic and enthusiastic sophomores proudly approached the school building and darted deadly glances at the lowly freshmen. To pilot '31 through this all-im- portant second year the following officers were elected: Lin Snider, presidentg George Machen, vice presidentg Ruby Petrie, secretary, and Lillian Mumma, treasurer. The faculty adviser this year was Miss Mary Witherspoon with W. L. Donaldson as principal. The sophomores co-operated with the seniors in making the first all high-school Hallowe- 'en party a success. Again they received honorable mention in the window trimming contest. Above all, '31 starred in sports as no other class at that time had done. She placed five huskies in the line which was runner-up in the C. V. A. L. championship. Four of the five men on the championship basketball team were sophomores. As upperclassmen, '31 entered W. H. S. with a great feeling of pride. Lin Snider, Paul Harper, Ruby Petrie, and Lillian Mumma were elected as class officers with Miss Anna Allen as adviser. This year the junior class won the cup permanently for W. H. S. by her splendid decoration of the Leiter Bros. Store window. Again with many juniors on the varsity, the football team finished second in the C. V. A. L. race. The basketball team this year met with misfortune in the fact that two of its star players were taken from the line-up on account of injury. Yet the team made a creditable showing. The track team, with juniors for the greatest in number, was the bright star of athletices for the year. The C. V. A. L. meet, Tri-County Meet and Franklin County Meet were a few of the victories of this team. During the year, two unparalleled colors, blue and steel, were chosen to represent '31 in the future. In May the juniors entertained the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior Prom, the biggest social affair of the year. This Prom which was prepared for during the entire year was unequalled in the history of the high school. Finally '31 has come to the pinnacle of high school fame-a dignified senior class. Under the new administration with D. J. Keener, superintendent and Huber D. Strine, principal, the class spent its last year in W. H. S. To direct her through this last year Lin Snider was chosen presidentg Lynn Walck, vice presidentg Martha Sollenberger, secretaryg and Leila Barnhart, treasurer. In football, the varsity was made up almost entirely of seniors and it was again runner-up in the C. V. A. L. league. This year Charles Engle, former Western Maryland star, coached all boys' sports. Four seniors were members of the championship basketball team. Almost the same track team of the preceding year again gained numerous laurels. For the first time, the senior class sponsored high school dances which were held in the Gym The Blue and Steel written by Alvin Stover was chosen as a class song. Standard class rings, pins and necklaces were orderedg attractive announcements and name cards were selected. Each year the question of an annual by the graduating class has been brought up and voted against, but this year '31 began a worthwhile project. Elizabeth Cline, who was elected editor of the annual, labored constantly with her staff to produce the first year book ever published b W. H. S. Y And then, after all activities such as the banquet, class play and baccalaureate, came com- mencement, the event of events. . As the years roll on, one will never forget the happy memories of the days when '31 was in her glory. It will be a source of constant pleasure to recall and reread the records of a class whose initiative and ability has been equaled by no other. 5225
