IV-To that insignificant, phlegmatic group of worry warts , commonly mm ill We, the seniors, have now reached the evening days of our school life and to our great sorrow we will soon dissolve as one united body and seek higher honors, scholastically or otherwise, as individuals. We also realize quite fully that we must draw up a will in order that the juniors will not wholly be bare of knowledge, un- derstanding, and initiative. Therefore, we, the graduating class of the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven, of the Waynesboro High School, situated in the city of Waynesboro, county of Franklin, and state of Pennsylvania, do hereby, whereby, good-bye, and bye-bye, declare this to be our last will and testament, to be carried out in full under the supervision of our executors. This unsurpassed graduating class, from its estate and store of numerous posses- sions, makes the following bequests: Item Item Item Item I-To our beloved, though sometimes unappreciated faculty, we do extend the sincere hope that all subsequent classes shall cause them as little trouble and despair as did our own class. II-To that obnoxious and spurious junior class, who, because of their idiosyncrasies, can never hope to equal our unparalleled accomplishments, we bequeath our superior intellectual power and our ability to dominate the lower classmen. III-To our illustrious sister classmen, the sophomores, we bequeath our athletic ability and our utter lack of procrastination. known as the freshmen, we bequeath a book of etiquette, our sportsman- ship, and a course in the development of a sense of humor. Item VHTO Mr, Lehman we bequeath more front rows for his classes and the hope that the Grand Old Party will fare better in the next presidential election than it did in the past one. Item VI-To Mr. Harbaugh we bequeath a copy of all the wise cracks , jokes, and the like which were pulled so illustriously in our Physics classes so that he might use these as a standard of elegance and wit in judging the worth of those cracks which our less illustrious successors might pull. Item VIIfUpon Miss Schue and Mr. Baugher, our class advisers, we confer our most hearty appreciation for their efforts in making the seniors so outstanding.

To lead the class through its senior year, john Reddig was again chosen, while William Miller was chosen Vice President, Betty Fader, Secratary, and Lucille Margin and Charles Diehl, Treasurers. Leading the Blue and Gold staff as Editor- in-Chief was Stuart Altland, who had the able assistance of other journalistic members of the class. Under the guidance of our gallant coaches, the football team showed excellent form in winning the C. V. A. L. championship. The class of '37 contributed to this victorious team james Leedy, and Francis Lehr, Co-captains, Wilbur Beckner, Alfred Rock, and Glenn Henicle. The basketball team included Captain John Reddig and the sturdy followers, Francis Lehr, Daniel Kirk, Kenneth Ankerbrand, and Gilson Martz. To rouse the spirit on the field and floor were Arlene Hepfer, Norman Diffen- derfer, Helen Kahl, and Lucille Margin. Head managerships in varsity athletics were held by Merle Barnhart in football, and by Robert Sollenberger in basketball. Reverting again to the scholastic vein, we find Harold Whetstone president of the newly formed Forensic Club, supported by several other members from the class. The class of '37 exhibited well its musical talent, for a large number of its members functioned in the band, orchestra, and chorus. In the cast of Belle of Bagdad , the operetta staged by the Choral Club, the seniors were well represented. Close upon the heels of the operetta was the Spring Frolic, the Dinner Dance, and the Prom. All these functions were put over with much zest and added much enjoyment and lively fun to our latter days in W. H. S. A new idea was instituted in the Senior Class Picnic held on Class Day at Cold Springs Park. The class play entitled Moon River Rancho a rip roaring western, was put on as the last of our class functions, and as was the case in all our activities, it was executed skillfully and well. Baccalaureate services were held in the Arcade Theatre with Reverend Ilgenfritz delivering the sermon. This, with the commencement exercises, concluded the history of the class of '37. Appreciation should be extended to the class advisors who, through their efforts, made possible so full, profitable, and joyous a life at W. H. S.

eniofz Glass fzojrltec Having just completed a trip around the world in her trimotor plane, Betty Eader has dropped in for a little chat with Mrs. john Maun, formerly Arlene Hepfer, and describes her interesting trip, on which she met many of the classmates whom she had not seen since her high school days. I had a very delightful trip, said Betty, seating herself in front of the open fireplace for a long winter's evening chat with an old friend. Having secured two competent pilots, john Reddig and Robert Cashman, we left, February 25, 1960, for Tampa, Florida, where we found Robert Snyder conducting a symphony orches- tra. His manager, Richard Shearer, reported that they were under contract for an all-around-the-world tour. Taking the Carribean route to Rio de Janeiro, where, by the way, we found Robert Riley as consul from the United States, we, in the course of only a few days, landed in Northwestern Africa, and were greeted by Mary Stitely and Charles Much who are located there in a well equipped American mission stationf' Oh, I think it would be exciting to go to Africa,'i said Arlene eagerly. Did you encounter any lions or tigers while there? No, we were not molested by any such beasts, for we remained there only long enough to refuel, but we learned later that Warren Stauffer, in company with an eminent German scientist, was making geological explorations there in Morocco. Our next stop was the quaint, picturesque city of Seville in Spain, in which we saw Senorita French dancing La Tarantella amid a group of jubilant and felicitous persons. Leaving Seville, the languorous siren city of Spain's brightest century, we journeyed on to Manzanares where we arrived just in time for a bull-fight, and having followed the animated impassioned crowd to the bull-ring, learned that Alfred Rock had been acclaimed the hero of the day. Having taken to the air once, more, we reached Monoco, and like all other foolish and curious society folks who visited here, we ascended the long series of stairs which lead up the Monro Carlo to the gambling casino, but paused upon the threshold and retreated lest desire should get the better of our wills. You are perhaps anxious to hear about Paris, so I shall hurry on and tell you that while there I stayed at the far-famed Hotel de Luxe, which was under the managership of Monsieur Frantz. The day after arriving in the city foften called the perfection of a traveller's dreamj I immediately launched on a sight-seeing tour, and while riding along the Champs d' Elysees, noticed a large sign advert- ising Bock's Beauty Salon, and on passing the Opera House, which is itself the triumph of modern Parisian architecture, I saw that the prominent singer, William Heffner, would make his appearance there that night in 'Carmenfi While visiting the Louvre, I recognized the paintings of Kenneth Ankerbrand which have won great renown for him. We remained in Paris only a week and then started on our way to England. In London I met Stuart Altland who said that he had been recently made Editor- Twenty three
