To whom it may concern
T HE time has come, the speaker said,
to touch on many things, on chewing
gum and sealing wax, on cabbages and
kings. With one eye on the calendar
and the other on the clock, this reminds
us of the wonderful advantages that
we seniors and our fellow students have
received and are receiving from the
patrons of our school. Through the
abundance and wealth of our rich agri¬
cultural and industrial center, they are
making it possible for each and every
one of us to achieve our ambitions by
furnishing us with an academic educa¬
tion in preparation for our life work.

COMMUNITY HI-LIGHTS
•- Vie 1934
Through Unit]) We Create and
Maintain
H AGERSTOWN is mounted in an exquisite
setting—that of the valley. Upon entering
or leaving the town, visitors are greatly im¬
pressed by the rolling, fertile land, the peace¬
ful scenery, and the obvious beauty which
Nature, in her kindest mood, bestowed upon
the district. Many of the shaded streets have
the same appeal to the stranger that the misty,
remote, cobbled lanes of the Old World have
for the admiring foreigner. Unlike the small
European towns, Hagerstown is a community
which was destined not only to thrive and
prosper, but one whose latchstring was al¬
ways to hang on the outside and whose
atmosphere of welcome was ever to linger
within the verdant valley.
With the vanishing of the wilderness, the
spirit of progress steadily increased and its
keepers were wont to hand it down as her¬
itage to the coming generation.
Hagerstown’s importance, in the early days,
was vested in the fact that it was the terminal
of the well-known Whitewater Canal, which
extended from Cincinnati. The old baseball
held of the Perfect Circle Company was the
spot where the boats turned around.
Lake Whitewater and Camp Wapa Karne-
ga, gracious gift of Ralph Teetor and haven
of Boy Scouts, was formerly the source of
ice for the Crystal Ice Company of Cincin¬
nati, and still affords great fun for the youth
of the town when King Winter blows his icy
breath across its beautiful surface.
“Books are friends. Come, let us read.”
That is, indeed, an appropriate sentence in
regard to the modern, well-equipped library,
which was a gift to the community from
Charles N. Teetor and family. Hagerstown’s
citizens evidently have intellectual leanings
as evidenced by the circulation of books of
the library. The total circulation for 1933
was 30,968. There are 7,113 books in the li¬
brary and approximately thirty-eight differ¬
ent kinds of magazines. The library is visited
by both young. and old, and it is a fitting
monument to the unselfish interest in the
community and the deep concern for the wel¬
fare of its citizens.
The greatest industry that Hagerstown has
ever known is the Perfect Circle Company,
manufacturers of Perfect Circle Piston Rings.
These rings are sold in every state in the
Union and are available in fifty-seven coun¬
tries of the world. The company’s name is
familiar everywhere, and its new radio pro¬
gram, “Rings of Melody,” broadcasts its
fame into many homes.
Upon retirement from the Perfect Circle
Company, Frank Teetor purchased the Light
Inspection Car manufacturing division and
designed a motor car which has proved su¬
perior to other cars of its type, because it is
light, practically free from vibration, and
powerful.
The cause of such proud and pleasant ex¬
pressions on the faces of Hagerstown citizens
is due to the new and modern post office
which was made possible by the increased mail
of the Perfect Circle Company, interested
citizens and the work of an up-to-date post¬
master, Charles F. Porter. Hagerstown is the
smallest town in the U. S. to have had a first-
class post office, and approximately 7,000 let¬
ters of first-class mail go through the post
office weekly. The building is the object of
much admiration to everyone who sees it.
Someone has said, “We are all overgrown
children,” and since Abbott’s Candy Shop is
as popular with adults as with children, there
is truth in this saying. Abbott’s delicious
cream chocolates, butterscotch and English
toffee are treats that are most welcome in
every home. The popular candy shop is not
only patronized by local residents but has
much business in other cities.
The life of any town is not complete with¬
out its clubs. In this respect Hagerstown is
well served, judging from the number of well-
organized and worth-while clubs for both men
and women. The League of Women Voters is
an active organization which is interested in
politics, and it offers many opportunities for
the study of present-day political problems.
The Psi Iota Xi sorority is a state organiza¬
tion. It has received the cup for two years
for having the most achievements.
The Progressive Club is the donor of the
cup presented to the outstanding senior girl.
Four
Both it and the History Club are active in the
interests of current affairs and accomplish
much in educating their members in the mod¬
ern way of overcoming vital problems.
The Business Men’s Club, which is an out¬
growth of the Lions Club, is a most worthy
organization. It meets weekly for luncheon
and discusses problems of the business world.
It is rapidly advancing and is doing much
for the welfare of the citizenry.
The worthiness of the church is treasured
in any city and it is necessary for the well¬
being of any community. Hagerstown’s
churches are exceedingly active in the reli¬
gious life of the city, and they are recognized
as strongholds of the community.
The schools are quite different from those
of the “good ol’ days.” A modern program
of education is taught to the 600 students
by well-trained instructors. Rural students,
instead of walking, ride to school in busses.
The beauty, neatness and cleanliness of both
grade and high schools have added local
charm. The attractive and well-kept grounds
are the subject of much favorable comment.
A golfer’s paradise is the Hartley Hills
country club. The location is one of natural
beauty, with rolling fairways and wooded
spots which prove more than interesting to
the golfer. In its third year of existence, it
was pronounced by visitors as one of the finest
and most interesting courses of the state. The
clubhouse is one of attractiveness, and it is
a very desirable place for parties and dances.
The boys’ and girls’ 4-H clubs and the
active Farm Bureau are important factors in
the agricultural development of the district.
There are many modern, up-to-date farm
homes and farmers who are wide awake to
the present needs in agriculture.
Therefore—to Progress—the development
of every potential power—the advancement
of every practical science—the achievement of
every desired aim—the nineteen thirty-four
Epitome is dedicated.

WILL THE MEETING PLEASE
COME TO ORDER?
Craciousness Adds Charm
G IRLS chatting in an amiable manner with
one another, but seemingly impatient for
the meeting to be called to order, eager to go
on with their quest for knowledge, right, and
sincerity, listening attentively to every pro¬
gram.—That’s the Girl Reserves!
Like the Christians, who many years ago
traveled to the Holy Land under the banner
of the cross, the Girl Reserves are engaged in
a Crusade. Their purpose is to “Follow the
Gleam of Christ.”
The Initiation service, held on October
fourth, was very solemn and impressive. Each
girl, “following the gleam” of a lighted can¬
dle, pledged herself as a Girl Reserve to the
following code:
Gracious in Manner
Impartial in Judgment
Ready for Service
Loyal to Friends
Reaching toward the Best
Earnest in Purpose
Seeing the Beautiful
Eager for Knowledge
Reverent to God
Victorious over Self
Ever Dependable
Sincere at All Times
The code was clearly explained by Rosa¬
mond Brooks at the first meeting. There
were 16 new members at this meeting, making
a total of 81 members in the organization.
The annual Mother-Daughter tea, held
Wednesday, October 4, was enjoyed by many
of the girls’ mothers and teachers.
Approximately two hundred and forty at¬
tended the annual Mother-Daughter banquet
which was held January 16 in the high school
auditorium. Mrs. Harriet Bard, from Con-
nersville, gave a book talk on “Little Wom¬
en,” and Eugene Teytor entertained with
marimba solos.
'■'H" ?.
During January and February each girl
had a chance to appear in the programs given
by each class. Two events which occurred late
in the club calendar were the Regional Girl
Reserve Conference, which was held at Rich¬
mond, and the “Farewell” to senior members.

WHERE IS THE PROGRAM
COMMITTEE?
Look for Leaders in Hi-Y
A NY organization is not complete without
its deal of fun. Of course almost all of
this fun is gained from the accomplishment
of work, planning of programs, and many
other activities included in the routine of
organizations. The Hi-Y club of the high
school carried out its work in a worth-while
manner, and yet its members will keep in
their minds the remembrances of the good
times they all experienced during the year.
Under the leadership of Virgil Heniser,
this year marked one of the most progressive
years of the Hi-Y since it has been established.
The club was first organized by Mr. W. J.
Stahr on October 7, 1923.
The success and progress of the club were
probably due to the fact that its purpose and
the slogan were stressed in all of the programs
given during the year.
At the first of the year each member who
came into the club pledged to create, main¬
tain, and extend throughout the school and
community high standards of Christian char¬
acter, and to stand for clean scholarship, and
clean living. At the beginning of the year,
the club put on a book sale, which was very
helpful to those students needing books.
The months of November and December
were busy ones for the club. On November
20, the Father and Son Banquet was given.
The speaker for the occasion was Dr. Frank
Slutz of Dayton. At Christmas the club, with
the Girl Reserves, gave a very interesting
chapel program. Logan Smith, Eugene Drake,
Jim Stamm, Eugene Foust, Lowell Lester,
Irvin Miller, Jim Butner, and Mr. Heniser
attended the Older Boys’ Conference held
December 1, 2, 3, at Michigan City. In March
the club entertained the Regional Older Boys’
Conference.
April marked the close of a very success¬
ful year under the direction of the following
capable officers: president, Gene Drake; vice-
president, James Hartig; secretary, Lowell
Lester; treasurer, Harold Allen.

THE ANCIENT TOUR TO OUR
LANGUAGE
Perplexities a Pleasure
I ATIN—how varied are the thoughts which
flash through our minds when that word
is mentioned! No doubt most of us who have
never familiarized ourselves with this ancient
language have a mental vision of the diffi¬
culties of it as portrayed by the expression
on the faces of those who have studied the
language and experienced its perplexities.
Such expressions of mental agony were absent
from the faces of the Latin classes this year,
because they gained a thorough understanding
of the language and thus enjoyed it very
much.
There were sixteen students enrolled in the
Latin classes, eight in the first year class and
eight in the second year class. The first year
class enjoyed its study to such a degree that
most of the students plan to enlarge their
scope of the speech of ancient Rome by tak¬
ing second year Latin. They discovered that
much of the English language is derived from
Latin and this fact made their work more
interesting.
To facilitate the learning of this language,
the class made posters on the conjugation of
verbs, declension of nouns, and use of prepo¬
sitions. These posters, according to the mem¬
bers of the class, proved very instrumental in
helping to keep previously learned Latin in
mind.
The second year students were fortunate
in having for their use a new book written
by Berry and Lee, in which they studied the
mythology of the old countries. The story of
the Argonauts, continuous story of the ad¬
ventures of Jason, was especially enjoyed.
The opinion of the second year students
concerning Latin was that it was much more
difficult than first year work, but this is true
of anything worth while. Miss Alida Morris
was the Latin teacher.

AIR CASTLES IN SPAIN
Wonder in Dreams
B EGINNERS are thrilled, as are shorthand
students, for now they have a new means
of communication. Everyone who finds that
personal letter cannot read and understand it.
Then, too, the study of Spanish is in it¬
self interesting, for the lessons are beautiful
descriptive stories and legends of old Spain.
They remind one of that old refrain, Air Cas¬
tles in Spain.
The plan to “learn your Spanish” which
the second year students enjoyed most and
derived the most benefit from was the three
and five minute informal talks given by them
to the class. These talks were unusual. Sub¬
jects which were chosen were the activities of
farm, grocery, home, meat market, fruit and
vegetable stands, library, and school. Con¬
versational discussion then took place about
the talk just given by the student, all of which
was, of course, in Spanish.
As someone put it, “You either get or you
don’t get Spanish”; therefore it takes time
and study to be a fiuent speaker of this lan¬
guage.
Looks of doubt, smiles of uncertainty, and
a satisfied “I know” expression could be
found during class recitation.
Songs played a prominent part in the mas¬
tering of this subject. Some really beautiful
old tunes and rhymes were among those
taught. Favorites seemed to be “La Paloma,”
“La Golandrina,” and “Marchita.” Good
voices were found in the class and several
harmonious combinations were worked out.
Not only did the students sing them, but also
studied them for their historical background.
Always an enthusiastic group start Spanish
I but Spanish II is more quiet until it is
well started and then others wish that they,
too, had taken the second year of that an¬
cient, yet widely used, dependable language
of today.
Principal Joe R. Craw was the instructor.

INTRODUCING OUR FUTURE
HOME-MAKERS
Make Ourselves Attractive
T HE old adage, “Experience is the best
teacher,” is very applicable to the Home
Economics Class. The students who enroll in
this class have not only the advantage of
gaining knowledge from the authorities who
have written their textbooks, but they have
also the pleasure of putting this instruction
to a practical use in the kitchen and sewing
room.
This was especially true of the four special
advanced students. These four senior girls
studied special problems in reference to home
economics and as a result increased their abil¬
ity to the extent that they became capable
in this work. These girls carried out projects
in the following manner:
They went to Indianapolis and purchased
their commencement clothing; they made
health posters to encourage better health
habits; they helped the advanced class in man¬
aging the cafeteria; and thus learned how to
prepare well-balanced lunches.
They conducted a health drive in the third
and fourth grades in order to see whether
the girls and boys were the better observers
of good health rules and—here’s a point in
favor of the weaker sex—the girls won the
drive by a few points.
The Freshman Class was divided into two
sections, which gave a class party, November
18, at the high school. This class gave a play
in chapel, and if the examples given in this
play were followed by the student body,
every person’s manners would be improved.
The advanced class took field trips to Cam¬
bridge City, Richmond, and to a canning fac¬
tory. These trips were of interest to all.
The 34 students enrolled in these three sec¬
tions under the leadership of Miss Gertrude
Adams made rapid progress and gained thor¬
ough understanding of the following appro¬
priate quotation: “The beauty of the home is
order, the blessing of the home is content¬
ment, and the glory of the home is hospital¬
ity.”

TOMORROW’S FARMERS OF
AMERICA
Constructive Planning Is Our Job
/''UDDAP Nic, Haw Maude, Gee Jim, we’re
in a hurry—it looks like rain and this
corn has to be plowed. Yes, this is the agri¬
cultural class.
Under Mr. Spuller’s patient guidance the
boys’ time was occupied by doing several dif¬
ferent projects—everything from building
trailers to studying the life habits of insects!
Thirty-seven boys enrolled in this course,
twenty freshmen and sophomores, and seven¬
teen juniors and seniors. They gave three
demonstrations, enjoyed educational trips to
Cincinnati, Richmond, and Indianapolis, kept
farm records on 1,680 acres, raised 114 acres
of corn, cared for 600 feeding pigs, and kept
monthly production records on 85 cows, be¬
sides many other interesting projects.
In the shop work the boys fitted handles
in axes, hammers, hatchets, etc., gummed and
filed saws, and repaired several sets of har¬
ness. The boys were very busy and deserved
great praise for the quality of the work.
They saved “Dad” many dollars by the shop
work; consequently “Dad” approved of the
department and all of its economical policies.
Forty-nine boys were in the 4-H Club with
a 94% finish. The freshmen and sophomores
kept production records of their poultry,
corn, hog, and cattle projects. Some kept
records of their entire home farm while others
kept charts of the daily livestock market. Be¬
cause of the NRA codes and plans the farmers
had time to attend the night school, held in
the high school building December 6 to Febru¬
ary 7, conducted by Mr. Spuller and vocation¬
al boys. The school offered courses in farm
shop work, soil improvement, liming, legumes,
and fertilizers. It was a treat to the farmers
to be permitted to bring samples of the soil
from their farm and have it tested for acidity,
and also to bring farm tools to the shop to
repair them. The farmers who attended ap¬
preciated the expert instruction given them.

NEWS FLASHES
•- Vie 1934
United We Help Print a Paper
W HEN you’re feeling sort of blue, nothing
else to do, just read what somebody else
is doing. The task of furnishing you this news
was the work of the Exponent staff.
Editor and assistant editor were at the head
of this group of students who were character¬
ized by “Tell me all you know,” “What did
3 T ou do Wednesday night?” “Be sure to have
that written by Tuesday,” “Oh, won’t you
please write that?” “It’s your duty, you
know.” “You say ‘Yellow Shadow’ is the
name of it?” “Gee, that should make an
excellent write-up,” “Remember the feature
stories that were written for ‘Applesauce’?”
“Don’t forget to mention the number who
took that tour to Indianapolis, you might
even list their names,” “Is this the correct
way to spell your name?”
When it comes to feature writing even the
revered Webster didn’t have so much on this
group in the matter of unique words that just
completed the unusual description to a “T.”
Feature writing, you see, was one of the spe¬
cial hobbies of the staff members. Some good
stories were turned out too, for instance about
Hirshburg and his pictures, doings of the
Epitome Staff, better speech class, and even
about the combined odors resulting from the
redecoration of our Alma Mater and those
wafting through the doors and up the hall
from the—you guessed it—the kitchen.
Society news was an old stand-by. Of course
not any high school news is complete without
athletics, so old Hagerstown was “Johnnie on
the spot” with her tiasliy report of the suc¬
cessful as well as, shall we admit it, losing
games.
The Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, Home Economics
and Agriculture, in addition to each class,
had its representatives on the staff. Just a
moment, the typists were there also. They
mean so much in any literary undertaking.
The staff seemed to be one of the best ever,
for an average of nine articles was printed
in the Exponent each week.

WE DO OUR PART
Roll Call a Success
I F you are interested in the work of schools
in foreign countries, in relief work in case
of emergencies, such as fires, floods or earth¬
quakes or in the annual roll call, just ask
any member of the Red Cross organization to
tell you about them. The members have been
especially active, and if the size of a club or
organization is one test of its merit, the Red
Cross might have a right to feel the ‘‘least bit
conceited” because 78 students joined at the
beginning of the school year.
Many shoes were in need of repair at the
close of the roll call for senior Red Cross
members, which was held from November 11
to November 30, because the loyal members,
under the direction of Miss Alida Morris,
canvassed the entire town and solicited mem¬
bers. They obtained 124 subscribers and sev¬
eral donations, making a total of $186.85, a
new record.
In the early fall, a Red Cross council was
appointed. Officers of this council were:
president, Elizabeth Bruce; vice-president,
Anne Faurot; secretary, Betty Teetor; and
reporter, Effie Foulke.
The Red Cross is truly a worthy organiza¬
tion in any school. It has many benefits for
the members. For instance, in the case of roll
call soliciting, the student learns the proper
way to approach a prospective member and
how to clearly explain why he should join.
He also learns the satisfaction of a subscrip¬
tion and the disappointment of a refusal.
The real worth of the organization was the
satisfaction and happiness gained from know¬
ing that, as a member, each contributed his
share to the welfare of the nation.

Can you imagine someone saying they
can’t read their own writing? Well, it’s not
surprising to the shorthand class at all. You
can make the funniest looking little curly-
ingques and yet each one has a meaning. The
trouble is remembering the meaning of the
little dash, curve, etc.
At the beginning of the second semester.
Miss Van Horn dictated letters to the ad¬
vanced class of 120 words a minute. It doesn’t
seem possible that you could get every word
that was said.
OUR BUSINESS MEN AND
WOMEN TO BE
Accuracy Always
W E ’LL bet our best hats that not a waste
paper basket in the school fills up as
quickly as the one in the typing room. If you
should step into the room and see a student
completing an exercise, you would think he
was doing it for a slow motion picture. But
we can’t even begin to describe them when
they’re on the last line of the exercise and
then make an error. That’s when one’s Span¬
ish and Latin come in handy. My, and the
noise they do make! In fact there’s so much
noise that one class didn’t hear the fire bell
ring. But there’s one good thing about that.
You can make a lot of noise and points aren’t
taken off.
Ready, go! Those were the words of Miss
Van Horn when a contest was held for the
advanced students in order that they might
show their ability and efficiency. Pins were
given as rewards.
Whenever you feel like doing something
accurate, just do a little bookkeeping. It’s
just loads of fun until you try to balance
your books and find they’re out of balance
about $143.27. You would think that some of
the seniors were first-graders when you see
them counting on their fingers. But they
usually get them right, unless they see double
or count one finger twice. The one thing that
Miss Van Horn stressed in the commercial
course was ACCURACY! first, last, and
always.

MR. EINSTEIN’S PALS
Ch oose a Feature Here For Y our
Hobby
Everything from radium to radishes is
studied in the science department of the high
school.
In room 22 every day except laboratory
day you could see students of the Physics
Class feverishly trying to understand the
theory of light or other physical phenomenon.
Some were poring over the penciled agonies
of former students, or others were studiously
reading the explanation of the author. On
days in the laboratory, the scene was quite
different. Test tubes here, electric motors
there, calorimeters, magnets and other scien¬
tific paraphernalia were being experimented
upon to see why they behave as they do.
Students in groups of four worked at separate
tables and under the capable supervision of
Mr. Ileniser, looked forward to days in the
Physics laboratory.
The argument, that we have to live; there¬
fore why not learn how to live an enjoyable
life was carried out in the Health Education
Class. This course deals with the structure,
function, and hygiene of the human body, and
special stress was placed on the prevention
rather than the cure of disease. From the
laughs that issued from Room 21, this course
which was aLso taught by Mr. Heniser must
have been entertaining as well as instructive.
A reorganization of the Physical Geography
Class took place this year. It became a study
of the physical, economic, and regional con¬
ditions of the earth and also included a sur¬
vey of the U. S. Science in the study of na¬
ture. Since we are invariably associated with
nature, it proves beneficial to have a knowl¬
edge of any phase of science. The students
enrolled in the science courses in the high
school will not, of course, all be future
Edisons, Einsteins, or Burbanks, vet they will,
in a measure, enjoy life more fully because of
the fact that they understand what was for¬
merly unsolvable mysteries of nature.

joined by the lower note of other stringed
and wind instruments, then the roll of a drum
and that’s an hour of orchestra. The com¬
bined orchestra shown below consisted of
thirty-six members, twenty-five senior high
school members and eleven junior high school
members. The orchestra studied various in¬
strumental selections in an effort to cultivate
their musical outlook.
The spirit of the club Avas that of coopera¬
tion and joy in working together and was
perhaps the nucleus of their splendid prog¬
ress. The work has been exceedingly interest¬
ing for the members, and their productions
have been much appreciated and have no
doubt enriched the lives of the members.
This orchestra, an important activity of the
cultural curriculum of the school and, under
the baton of its able leader, Miss Flossy Neff,
played on a number of occasions for Farm
Bureau meetings, class plays, and chapel pro¬
grams, and took part in the annual spring
festival.

THE METROPOLITAN OPERA
HAS CONTRACTS WAITING
A Treal for Public Performance
T IPS—tongue—tip o’ the teeth um pa pa,
mi-mi-mi-do-mi-sol-clo — This is probably
unintelligible to you, but to the members of
the chorus those tuning up exercises were a
highly valuable means of getting their voices
in tune and harmony for singing. It was also
one of the ways to avoid that short sentence,
“Oh, you are flatting in that song,” which
issued from the lips of Miss Neff, when a song
was being sung the a ’cappella method, a very
difficult type of vocalization without accom¬
paniment.
The three songs, “America, the Beautiful,”
“Who’s That A’calling,” and “Shortnin’
Bread,” a humorous negro selection, which
were presented in the Thanksgiving program,
were the results of several hard practices by
members of the chorus. But there was fun
in each practice, particularly in the one when
the train whistle entered into competition
with the sopranos as they were attempting to
reach high “c.”
In contrast to the joyfulness of the Thanks¬
giving program, the Christmas cantata, which
was presented on the evening of December
twenty-first, was one of impressive dignity
and was beautiful both in rendition and set¬
ting. One of the features of the program was
the candle light procession.
The personnel of the chorus included four
tenors, ten basses, eleven altos, twenty so¬
pranos, and Eleanor Romine, the faithful and
patient accompanist, making a total of 46
members in the chorus.
Perhaps each member of the organization
was more interested in conversing with his
neighbor than in his love for music at the
beginning of the year, but this was gradually
remedied and resulted in a harmonious, co¬
operative group of young singers.

to Rollo Jenkins, an industrious young man
who looked carefully at every penny before
he spent it.
Obstacle number two was in the form of
Hazel’s father who happened to be well
pleased with Rollo. As might be gathered
Hazel and Rollo had a spat about Bill with
the result that the spreader of a little sun¬
shine won the girl. The scene in which Bill
played up to the enormous cost of married
life and talked Rollo right out of his engage¬
ment was extremely comical. He married the
girl with just six dollars in his pocket and
the grim belief that two can live as cheaply
as one, for talk is cheap, and Bill was no
lazy linguist. This amusing play scored a
great hit for it contained many a laugh and a
treat or two.

scribable “chill” or thrill running up
and down his spine when the curtain begins
to rise on a play. No doubt the actors and
actresses in the play undergo more chills than
they do thrills, especially if they have not had
the advantage of an excellent play coach.
The cast for the senior play had the bene¬
fit of the capable coaching of Miss Delight
Collins and as a result, produced a play of
merit, and entertainment for the audience.
The play “ Applesauce ” was presented on
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, Novem¬
ber 8-9. It was a three act comedy written by
Barry Conners. It was originally produced
by Richard Herndon at the Ambassador
Theatre, N.Y. Bill McAllister was that serene
and envied type of youth who could get
along quite well without working. His chief
stock in trade, “applesauce” managed to get
for him all the essentials of life, even a girl.
The main obstacle for Bill to overcome was
the fact that Hazel was engaged to be married
Acts one and two took place in the Robin¬
son’s living room. Act three was in Hazel
and Bill’s home over the drug store. The
cast for the play was as follows: Ma Robin¬
son, Audrey Marlatt, Hazel Robinson, Marion
Hartley, Jenny Baldwin, Mary Hall, Pa
Robinson, Myron Simpson, Rollo Jenkins,
Mark Werldng, Bill McAllister, Eugene
Drake, Matt McAllister, Logan Smith.

“YELLOW SHADOWS”
You re All Under Suspect Notv"
THE Yellow Shadow, in all its mystery made
1 its debut Wednesday, February 14. The
outstanding part about it was that it took
well enough to draw a large audience the
second night, Thursday, February 15. Of
course it was the juniors’ initial attempt at
producing a play and “congratulations, old
pals” are due them. Let us in giving best
wishes remember the coach, Miss Delight Col¬
lins. My, the patience with which she did her
part during those weeks of practice!
Clark Willard is credited as the originator
of the gilley-loo bird, lady coroners, and se¬
cret hiding places, meaning the yellow shadow.
Outside, it was one of those dark, rainy,
and stormy nights; inside was an old house¬
keeper, who talked in morbid monotones.
Shots were heard and a murdered man was
seen lying on the living room floor of the old
Viewcrest Lodge. Such was the impressive
curtain-rising scene. Soon the heiress and her
friends arrived. Hot on the trail was the
coroner and the sheriff. One might think that
with all of the authorities and friends the
mystery would be solved, but not so.
More complex and unsolvable events oc¬
curred. A Chinaman presented himself. More
things happened than the Sherlock Holmes of
the play could comprehend. With Jed’s out¬
bursts of “creeping crocodiles” — “leaping
lizards”—“yellow shadows”—“racing rats”
—“We are made of clay, ashes, and dust”—
we will skip over the girls’ screams and tell
you how it all came out. The murdered man
proved to be none other than Gerald Lloyd,
reporter for the Seattle Tribune, who had
been secretly connected with Herbert, a co¬
reporter. If you were present at either per¬
formance, you might have heard something
like this:
Mrs. Knose: “Betty, dear, how did you
do it?”
Betty: “Why, mother, didn’t you see my
knees knocking?”
Mr. Lester: “Son, I’m proud of you.”
Lowell: “Thanks, dad.”
Annabelle: “Well, Lloyd, I would not have
thought it of you.”
Lloyd: “Thanks, sis, that’s all right.”
Mr. Cain: “They were exceptional for ama-
tures, weren’t they?”
Mr. Lester: “Yes, that was pure acting.”
Mrs. McCurdy: “Yes, and did you notice
how clever and harmonious the stage was
set ? ”
Miss Collins: “I know it. They certainly
did work hard to have it just exactly proper.”
The cast, ushers, stage managers, advertis¬
ing staff, and property managers, too, deserve
praise.

TOO MUCH HARMONY—OR
DISCORD??
“/n Woodland” Presented

Sure! You’ve guessed it—It’s the Girls’
Glee Club tuning up for class. And what
times they have! Isn’t it funny how girls can
stop talking long enough to sing ? Maybe they
think they can express a little of their charm
—in a sing songy method instead of the
usual rattling off—(wonder if they know
there’s very little difference?)
You can get the number of this club. It’s
easy to remember—sure, you’re right again—
it’s seven. It happens that there are seven
first sopranos, seven second sopranos, and
seven altos. From these a clever quartet was
organized. The quartet consisted of Rosamond
Brooks, Eleneida Craig, Elizabeth Bruce, and
Marian Brumback. They sang two numbers
on the Thanksgiving program, “From the
Land of the Sky Blue Waters,” and “Praise
Waiteth for Thee.”
They did some very cooperative work with
their instructor, Miss Neff, to contribute a
part in the annual spring festival and the
singing for a number of other special occa¬
sions.
Each member of the club had a chance to
show his individual ability. Whether they
thought it was a good way or not, we cannot
say for certain. Anyway, whatever their
thoughts were, each one was responsible for a
part on a program to be given in the club
every two weeks. Some interesting and very
well-planned programs were given during the
year.
The clnb gave proof of the high aim of the
leader and its members in a cantata they
presented on a Thanksgiving program, No¬
vember twenty-seventh. This cantata “In
Woodland,” which consisted of six parts, had
for its subject the charm of the forest in its
varying moods.
Who knows but that some day some of us
may attend the opera and hear one of the
members of this club as a prima donna?

WE HAVE RHYTHM
“Vive L'Amour '
m
^TJOME, Home on the Range” we’ll give
“ you three guesses. Yes, that’s right.
You guessed it the first time. Those are
usually the opening words of the Boys’ Glee
Club. They selected this song as their theme
song. It was one song of which almost all
the entire group knew the words. Maybe it
was because it made a big hit on the radio
just recently and was sung by every one.
The boys had a good time preparing their
parts op a program. For in this club as well
as in the Girls’ Glee Club and Chorus, special
programs were given within the club every
two weeks. The boys asked only one favor
from their leader, Miss Neff, in connection
with the special programs to be given, that
no audience was to be allowed. Wonder why
they suggested a thing like that? You cer¬
tainly didn’t have to be in the same room
with them to hear them sing.
The vocal chords were in fine shape the
year around. But no kidding, these boys did
wonderful work with their instructor in cul¬
tivating their voices and perhaps unconscious¬
ly achieved the effect sought by her—that of
perfecting a freedom of expression.
This group kept the aim of the club in
their minds, and as they were interested in
making the club a success, they had a very
successful year. On the Thanksgiving pro¬
gram they sang a beautiful, old college song,
Vive L ’Amour, ’ ’ which received much favor¬
able comment. They presented excellent per¬
formances on both the Christmas and spring
festival programs. Various types of music to
broaden their musical knowledge were studied
and songs of old masters and folk songs of
various nations, as well as more modern selec¬
tions, were subjects which they studied.

FUTURE BUILDERS AND
MECHANICS
To Construct and to Repair Is Our
Pleasure
W HEN you walked past the south side of the
building, did you often wonder what that
peculiar noise that sounded like a tempera¬
mental fire whistle was, or what that din was
that resembled an army marching out of step ?
That was the noise making department of the
school, in other words, the manual training
shop. Noise, however, was not all that was
manufactured, because the students who
worked there constructed many useful and
valuable articles, such as, towel racks, fun¬
nels, corn poppers, table lamps, inlaid checker
boards, porch chairs, and numerous other
articles.
This was also the repair department. They
helped Santa repair his toys; the cooks fa¬
vored them, because they fixed the electric
stoves; and the artists were their friends, be¬
cause they made a potter’s wheel and waste
paper baskets for the art room.
Sixty-five boys were enrolled in the four
enterprises, which were mechanical drawing,
sheet metal work, woodwork, and electric
work.
One who is enrolled in the mechanical draw¬
ing shop must have steady nerves and should
be neat. Two admonitions, ‘ ‘ Keep your pencil
sharp” and “Do not bother the draftsmen,”
were heard from Mr. Sedgwick, the teacher.
Many fingers were burned with hot solder
in the sheet metal shop. Several boys expe¬
rienced the difficulty of cutting on a line and
finding correct measurements on a ruler.
Above the noise of hammers and saws in the
wood shop, lamentations and exclamations of
the following type were heard. “Ouch! I hit
the wrong nail.” “All the planer marks are
not sanded out.” “I didn’t get this sawed
off square.”
Electrical terms, naturally, were flying
through the air of the electric shop. Electric
bells, two-way switches, batteries, anything
in the form of electricity was studied.
A variety of articles all the way from
cookie cutters to table lamps were made in
the shops. Mr. Theodore Sedgwick is to be
congratulated upon the progress made and
worth-while things accomplished by this de¬
partment of the school.

OANG! Another Red Skin hit the dust.
^ Only this time it wasn’t a Red Skin. It
might have been a dog, elephant, pig or the
such like. Maybe we should explain ourselves.
The art class did clay modeling for a while,
and in order to get the proper shape for some
of the animals’ ears, tails, legs, etc., they were
instructed by their teacher, Mrs. McCurdy,
to throw them on the floor a while. You had
to watch your step when this was going on,
for, unless you were good at dodging, you
might have been soaked in the ear with a
pig. Wonder what they would have done if
some visitor should have stepped through the
door and should have been hit in the eye with
an elephant? 'We can’t even imagine; so you
just guess. If only some of our well-known
artists could have seen the color scheme they
used! Can you imagine an orange pig, dotted
here and there with blue spots or a green
elephant with orange eyes? Even though the
colors were exaggerated, one thing was cer¬
tain, the articles were so good that they didn’t
have to be labeled. Some of the dogs had
the cutest names. Wonder if Henry Clay
The class arranged a display of art objects
from foreign countries in a glass case in the
hall. This gave students an opportunity to
enjoy arts and crafts from such countries as
Japan, China, Mexico, Italy, Egypt, India,
Germany, Spain and Palestine. The objects
were loaned by members of the faculty and
others who were interested in promoting art
appreciation.
Other interesting subjects the class took up
were pencil sketching, water color scenes, oil
pictures, Christmas greetings, oriental wall
panels, portfolios, perspective, tie-dye and
batik work. The junior high did some very
successful work also. They studied color
theory and its application to craft problems,
designing for covered boxes, lettering, posters,
cartooning, greeting cards, design books, block
printing, soap carving, and crayon wall hang¬
ings.
Who knows but that some day one of us
may walk into the Chicago Art Institute and
see a very beautiful painting by—Let’s say—
You Guess. Then our memories will go back
to the little art room in the Hagerstown
school where they had tippy chairs and where
they decorated pigs, orange with blue spots.

EPITOME WORKERS
Best Epitome Ever?
W RITE-UPS, engraving, cover design,
theme, printing, pictures—these are only
a few of the many things to be considered in
the publishing of a school annual, which is
the greatest undertaking of the senior class.
The Epitome conversations at the begin¬
ning of the year are full of optimism. Each
person is sure of a better annual than that of
the last year, and it is this confidence which
is carried over into the actual work and makes
the annual a success.
In the early fall, an editor is elected by the
class. The editor, class president and sponsor
in turn choose staff members from names
given to them by seniors who wish to be on
the staff. The class chooses the photographer,
group and senior pictures are taken, and work
gets under way. There are three people who
are indispensable to the success of the year¬
book—the photographer, engraver, and print¬
er. Reliable firms must be chosen for this
work because the failure of one firm to do
good work results ordinarily in the impossi¬
bility of good work from the remaining two.
Representatives from these three agencies
confer with the sponsor and staff members
and agree upon arrangement of the book, type
of printing, and other important phases of
the work.
All the staff members are important to the
completion of the annual, and they have co¬
operated with the sponsor to the fullest ex¬
tent in spite of many little aggravating details
of their respective offices. Those poor literary
editors—how abused they felt after they had
completed what they thought was a “peach of
a story” only to have it handed back to them
with this paragraph marked out or that one
changed, but they willingly rewrote the ar¬
ticle without any complaint. There, too, were
the advertising editors, who after two futile
attempts had failed to convince a pessimistic
business man that he should buy an ad and
were told that they must return for the third
time with a new sales talk and get an ad,
which they usually did. The typists came in
for their hard work but the above were only
a few examples of the splendid cooperation
or harmonization of the entire staff. When
you examine this book, please remember that
it is not the work of only one or two persons
but the combination of the efforts of all staff
members.

GUARDIANS OF THE SCHOOL’S

Dependable Monitors in School
Finance
U7HAT a job the members of the Board of
” Control have! They have the responsibil¬
ity of caring for the money that comes in and
goes out of the treasuries of the classes and
different organizations of the school. Each
member’s books must check with those of the
treasurer of the Board.
They have a grand time keeping their
books in balance (oh yeah !) , and they should
be honored in that they know how to handle
money. What a time they do have when they
try collecting class dues from the students.
The most popular phrase at that time was,
“I forgot,”
If you don’t know the members on this
board, here are two good points that might
help you to recognize them:
1. If you see a student dashing ’round with
a small box and you hear its contents jingle,
well, if you don’t have any money it might
be a good plan for you to start dashing, too.
2. The most precious thing they value is a
little notebook with a list of names and the
words, “Paid” or “Not Paid” after them.
The purpose of the Board of Control is to
handle all the school’s money in one banking
account at the bank. All payments are made
by checks, written by the treasurer of the
Board. This makes it easy to check up on the
money that is going out or being spent by the
classes and organizations in the school.
1 he treasurers of the classes and organiza¬
tions in the school make up the Board of Con¬
trol. They are the following:

Our Board of Directors
Appreciated Managers
A BANK, sturdy and stable, trusted for its
years of service to the people, is a fitting
synonym for the school board of the Hagers¬
town and Jefferson Township schools. This
board of education is as busy as the prover¬
bial bee, a fact which is proved by its activity
at any time. The three people who serve on
this board have many responsibilities, the
greatest of these being the selection of a super¬
intendent of schools and through him choosing
efficient and capable principals and teachers
for the schools. This task has been ably ful¬
filled as was evidenced by the progress made
by the schools under the leadership of the fac¬
ulty during the past year. The other duties
of the board include supervising the budget¬
ing of funds for various school expenses, ever
keeping in mind the taxpayer and the effi¬
ciency of the schools, the change of school
textbooks, the buying of new equipment for
schools, employing of drivers for school buses
and many more problems too numerous to
mention.
The members of the board are as follows:
Mrs. Leora
Waltz, township
trustee, has
served on the
school board for
eight years and
has given proof
of her capability
for this position
by her untiring
work and effi¬
ciency in accom¬
plishing every¬
thing worth while
for the better¬
ment of the
schools.
Mr. T. S. Wal¬
ker has shown in
his two years of
service, an inter¬
est in the schools
which has been
instrumental i n
promoting to a
greater degree
the high stand¬
ards and ideals
for which t h e
schools have al¬
ways stood.
Mr. Clarence
Stout, who has
been a member of
the board since
last August, has in
this slior t time
been an ever de¬
pendable source of
help and has con¬
tributed to the wel¬
fare of the institu¬
tion of learning
over which he has
partial control.
As a sound and
dependable bank
must have its board
of directors, made
up of people who
work for its gain, so must a school, in order
to be successful have an efficient board of
education. This board of education has very
successfully managed the schools, and it is
with pleasure that we, the pupils of the Ha¬
gerstown schools, take this opportunity of
thanking them for their earnest efforts.

Frank M. Cory
The teachers and students honor and re¬
spect the one who guides the destiny of our
school. In him we find the ideal student,
teacher and citizen. We refer to Mr. Frank
M. Cory, our superintendent.
He is a good leader. Perhaps the reason for
this is that each and everyone, whether he is
a beginner or a graduating senior president,
receives the same cordial, sympathetic, and
considerate attention from Mr. Cory.
Mr. Cory earned his A.B. degree from
Indiana University, and his Masters degree
from Columbia University in School Ad¬
ministration and Supervision.
Mr. J. R. Craw is assigned the task of help¬
ing the students fit into the action of the
school. This task lie performs well, aided by
his six years of experience as principal of the
school, and by his knowledge gained from ob¬
taining an A.B. and an M.A. degree at Butler
University. With such a manager, the school
moves efficiently onward as does a well oiled
machine.
Mf. Craw is also the teacher of the Spanish
and English classes, and sponsor of the Epit¬
ome. With all his varied tasks he finds time
to reveal definite interest in art and science.

G. R., and was art editor on
the Epitome staff. Curly
hair and eyes of brown,
time’s never dull when she’s
around.

VIRGINIA HARLAN
Introducing — oh, why
bother, everyone knows Gin
Harlan. She could very ef¬
fectively show her emotions
by facial expressions and it
was this fact that was the
cause of so much mirth in
speech class. Her activities
include membership in Red
Cross and G. R., Exponent
and Epitome staff.

PAUL BOWMAN
Paul has a heart of gold
and spends all his time try¬
ing to cash it. His interests
have been mostly agricul¬
tural, yet he was a member
of the Hi-Y club. The whys
and the wherefores do not
worry Paul.
GERALD RETHERFORD
“Never a care in all the
world” is Jack’s attitude. He
was interested in agriculture
and very earnestly applied
himself to the task. He was
full of fun—always ready to
laugh or make someone else
laugh. Perhaps you didn’t
know it, but he was poeti¬
cally inclined.
JUNE HARTY
When June’s name is men¬
tioned, everyone thinks im¬
mediately of this peppy lit¬
tle blackeyed, black haired
girl who never lets time
bother her, because, she says,
it passes anyway without her
interference.
HERMAN CANADAY
Herman was one of our
agriculturally inclined boys
at H. II. S. He took an ac¬
tive interest in this subject.
He was a member of the
Hi-Y club. “Everyone has
to look up to Kid Canaday.”
DOROTHA RHINEHART
Dorotha is another girl to
be admired for her versa¬
tility. She was editor of the
Exponent staff, a G. R. and
Red Cross member. She has
very definite moral stand¬
ards and adheres strictly to
them, a fact which causes
us to admire her. Dot took
a tremendous interest in
speech class.

MARY LOUISE FORD
Mary’s interests have been
mostly musical ones, but she
was also a G. R. member.
Her sunny personality won
for her innumerable friends,
a characteristic which she
and the famous Henry have
in common.
FRANK KEISER
It is difficult to under¬
stand one who is so quiet,
but Frank evidently needs
no one’s assistance to be
happy. He has the excellent
virtue of minding his own
business, and he gained
friends because of this.
Seniors
ESTHER ALLEN
Brown of eyes, and blond
of hair, with never a worry
and never a care — that’s
Esther. She was a member
of the G. R. club and Epit¬
ome staff, and in her high
school career was actively
engaged in commercial work.
“Day by day in every way,
she types and types away.”
CLYDE GRAY
It can hardly be said that
girls are Clyde’s foes, be¬
cause he’s fond of them (per¬
haps we should say her),
and also fond of clothes. He
was interested in agricul¬
ture and was on the basket¬
ball team.
EVELYN DENNIS
Evelyn is very quiet, yet
there is always that mys¬
terious air about her which
reveals that she, by being
a good listener, can learn
more than a more active par¬
ticipant in the conversation
learned. She was on the
Epitome staff and was a
G. R. member.
ESTELENE STAMM
Estelene is a rare com¬
pound of oddity, frolic, and
fun, and she relishes a joke
and rejoices in a pun. As lit¬
erary editor on the Epitome
staff she was very compe¬
tent. She was also a very
active G. R. member. Her
only fault was that she made
too many A’s.
LUVA SMITH
During her three years at
Hagerstown, Luva has di¬
vided her interests among
the G. R. club, chorus, and
as a member of the Epitome
staff. Tall and slender, laugh¬
ing and blushing, Luva has
won a place in the class
of ’34.
AUDREY MARLATT
Many of the activities of
H. H. S. have found Aud an
active and loyal member.
She was a member of the
Epitome staff, a Red Cross
and G. R. member, and was
in the cast of the senior
play. Audrey seems to say
to the world, “I’m glad to
be alive! Aren’t you?” and
her many friends associate
this thought with her. She
has indeed an attractive per¬
sonality.

MARK WERKING
Mr. Spuller’s agriculture
class evidently didn’t lack
for senior boys, for here’s
another who was an active
participant in that class.
Mark had other interests in
high school which were di¬
vided between the Hi-Y club
and Audrey, and proved that
he was competent in these
tasks—just ask Audrey.
ETHEL CORDELL
Everyone likes Ethel be¬
cause of her abundant good
nature. She is quite beyond
compare, with her black and
curly hair. She was another
whose interest was in com¬
mercial work, and who was
a G. R. and Epitome staff
member.
THELMA FOUTZ
Seniors
MARY LAMON HALL
Mary’s interests in high
school have been many and
varied — everything from
Sophomore boys and class
play roles to G. R. and 4-H
club presidents and advertis¬
ing editor of the Epitome.
We marvel at her ability to
be an honor roll student, and
because of this she is nat¬
urally a member of our
“senior intelligentsia.” Gay,
lovable Mary was a familiar
figure around school.
MARGARET TALBERT
Margaret is the enviable
combination of good sound
sense and an amiable dispo¬
sition. She was a member
of the Exponent and Epit¬
ome staffs and G. R. club.
Perhaps she should be a
photographic model because
Hirshburg considered her as
good material. With her
friendly disposition, Marg is
a welcome addition to any
group.
Thelma is small in stature
and her face is fair, she has
a soft voice and a quiet air.
Her main interest in high
school has been home eco¬
nomics. She did very good
literary work on the Epit¬
ome staff. In the future,
perhaps, Kenny will appre¬
ciate the domestic training.
Who knows?
JAMES BUTNER
Jim has the firm belief
that a handful of common
sense is worth a bushel of
learning and he evidently
practices what he preaches.
He has been an active mem¬
ber of the Hi-Y club and has
been interested in agricul¬
ture. Depend on him!
HOWARD FOSNIGHT
Howard, with the help of
Mary, talked many a busi¬
ness man into buying that
coveted bit of advertising
space in the Fpitome. He
was a Hi-Y member and was
in the junior play. If life
were nothing but to sing and
dance, Howard would win
without a chance.
JANE PRESSEL
Jane flavors everything;
she is the vanilla of society.
Her interests, other than her
regular studies, have been
centered around Red Cross,
G. R. and Epitome staff. Jane
is always merry and believes
that a bit of nonsense now
and then is cherished by the
best of men.

JUNE HUDDLE
To be most versatile in
general knowledge, good
books and speech, foreign
language and travel, nature
and science, poetry and fic¬
tion is a rarity. Choose the
topic, give June paper and
pencil, and she will write
the article. Popular and ap¬
preciated, she has found her
coveted position in the senior
activities.
HELEN JONES
This shy little brown eyed
girl is by preference no
longer included in the en¬
rollment of H. H. S., yet
while she attended school she
was very quiet and unassum¬
ing and in this way gained
admirers.
WILMA WISEHART
Diminutive yet dignified—
these adjectives are descrip¬
tive of Wilma, who has
proved that small stature is
no 'hindrance. The G-. R.
club claimed Wilma as one
of its actives and she also
was an Epitome staff mem¬
ber. Just now Wisehart is
her name, but Maurice thinks
Mitchell better, and she
thinks the same.
Seniors
MYRON SIMPSON
It seems that Simp’s in¬
terests ran more to the so¬
cial than to the studious life
in high school, but with his
apparent motto, “Yesterday
is gone, forget it. Tomorrow
hasn’t arrived, don’t worry.
Today is here, but you’ll get
by,” has been his stand-by.
He was a member of the
Hi-Y and played roles in the
junior and senior plays.
MATTIE RICH
Mattie, the girl who made
friends by being one, re¬
gretfully moved from Ha¬
gerstown at the end of the
first semester. Although she
has been here only a year,
her dependability and effi¬
ciency could be counted
upon.
LOGAN SMITH
Agriculture and mathe¬
matics! Doesn’t that sound
like a formidable combina¬
tion? Evidently Logan didn’t
think so, for those were his
favorite subjects and ones
that he mastered well, a fact
proved by the A’s he made.
He was a member of the
Hi-Y club and Epitome staff.
ROBERTA ULRICH
Nature, in doing her little
bit, gave this girl a won¬
drous amount of “it.” Bert,
as everybody knows her, was
a member of chorus, glee
club, Epitome staff and the
G. R. club. She is very in¬
dividualistic and she’s fair,
she’s bright, she’s popular
and all right.
HERMAN ROTH
Shorty’s absence was in
evidence more than his pres¬
ence the last year, but his
congenial attitude was ever
on display. Y T ou hardly real¬
ized he was around until he
laughed. Here’s a boy with
a heart and smile. What he
lacks in size, he makes up in
style. He was in the cast
of the junior play.

ROSAMOND BROOKS
Rosamond is one who is
not careless in deed, confused
in thought, nor rambling in
words. She, too, has had
extra - curricular activities
which included membership
in all musical organizations,
G. R., Red Cross, and Epit¬
ome staff. She has black
hair and eyes, yet she is
fond of Gray. The sincerity
of her friendship is undenied.
THOMAS DENNIS
Thomas, who came from
Dalton, maintained a silence
which fooled no one, for in
occasional bursts of eloquence
he revealed his true self. He
displayed an interest in agri¬
culture, and the 4-H club
found in him a loyal sup¬
porter.
Seniors
MARION HARTLEY
The girl of the sophomore
boys’ dreams and a friend
to all was Marion. She was
in the east of the senior
play, on the Epitome staff
and a G. R. member. She is
indeed “dainty, demure and
well poised.”
MARY MYERS
Black hair, black eyes, and
a heart as pure as gold is a
fitting description for our
Mary. She seems to have
acquired effectiveness through
her motto, “Why hurry?
The world will wait.” She
was a G. R. and Red Cross
member and was on the Epit¬
ome staff.
NAOMI HIMELICK
LEO DUMFORD
Naomi prepared for a busi¬
ness career, since she was
enrolled in all commercial
courses that the school of¬
fered. Although Naomi has
been in H. H. S. only one
year she has made many
friends and she is evidently
“silent but certain.”
RENA DAVIS
Rena was a spe¬
cial advanced stu¬
dent in home eco¬
nomics and was
active in this work,
and also in the
G. R. organiza¬
tion. She’s a jolly
good sport and
her nimble tongue
w a s entertaining
to all.
RUSSELL THALLS
Russell seemed to prefer
freedom from scholastic af¬
fairs and for this reason dis¬
continued relations with the
school.
MARY ALICE
ALLEN
Mary Alice was
domestically in¬
clined because her
main interest in
high school has
been home eco¬
nomics. She was
an Epitome staff
and G. R. member.
She is one who
thinks it is not
wise to be wiser
than necessary,
but we think her
wisdom is d i s -
played quite well.
She has a smile
for everyone.
The sentence, “Men of few
words seldom suffer defeat,”
is very appropriate in de¬
scribing Leo. As a high
school student Leo has
worked exceptionally hard
to accomplish something
worth while and his purpose
has not been de¬
feated.

Thrilled at the Expectation
J UNIORS, dressed in their latest best, ar¬
rive via feet and bus at knowledge factory
station. Greetings over, they journey to the
assembly where principal of education, Mr.
Craw, tells them that they must interview
course for the year in order to board the study
train which will convey them, providing they
use time and teacher’s patience correctly, to
the station promoted to senior year or eight
credits earned.
Dues (Tickets) for the trip cost two dol¬
lars plus dining car fee of either food or fifty
cents for mother and daughter banquet.
Study train first stops at Junior meeting
where Juniors elect conductors Cain and Van
Horn to help guide them to credits earned.
Two of the most interesting points of
education which study train passed through
were typewriters and shorthand. Miss Van
Horn was the guide at both places.
Study train passed through the green and
yellow gold tunnel (rings). Juniors were
both happy and sad when thinking of ap¬
proaching this wonderful tunnel, for it took
nearly eight weeks to reach it. Meanwhile
they rode many bumpy coaches trying to
raise, earn or borrow six dollars and seventy
five cents to receive a pass from Conductor
Cain to Yellow Gold Tunnel.
By this time study t7'ain was so exhausted
after four months of steady pushing forward
that it had to stop at eleven day rest at Christ¬
mas holidays. Parties and general merrymak¬
ing were enjoyed by the passengers during
this stop.
Hush! All is quiet. The Yellow Shadow!
Mystery appeared and with him, comedy.
Yes, five girls and five boys entertained the
study train passengers and others on the
nights of February 14 and 15.
Reception was the last important and most
brilliant colored station which was passed
through. The passengers even purchased
new clothes to entertain their guests— the
Seniors and Faculty at this place. Everyone
enjoyed the fine hospitality and excellent
program given at reception.
After this gala stop, study train came to
credits earned where each passenger de¬
scended the steps with a final salufe and
started with books for home.

THE SOPHIES (SOFTIES) OF
THE SCHOOL
At the Foot of the Mountain of
Knowledge
| ONG, long ago in the year of 1934, on a day
in September (the exact date wasn’t re¬
corded), a gronp of fifty-nine students, who
declared their names to be Sophomores,
started on a journey beginning at a place that
is well known to all of us —the brain crammer.
They chose as their leaders Richard Warfel,
Hariett Fosnight, Mr. Virgil Heniser, and
Miss Martha Castle. This group, insignificant,
never-ready-to-study, still a little green from
their freshman year, gayly started out to con¬
quer the giant despair and to find the parch¬
ment called diploma that was hidden in the
mountain of knowledge.
Their first stop was at the valley of work,
where they gathered enough equipment that
would last them for a year. Also, they were
given instruction as to the responsibilities
each must have and the effort each must put
forth in order to meet the difficulties that
might be along the way.
They were compelled to travel over rough
and uneven paths. Latin and Spanish mons¬
ters loomed up before them, and gave them
the fright of their lives. Some of those who
had to deal with the Latin monster said, “I’m
afraid I’ll have to turn back, I can’t even get
around this brute. ’ ’ But along came one of
the wise ones in the group and said, “When
you’re in Rome, do as the Romans do.” So
being encouraged with this, the tired “La-
tineer ’ ’ pushed on.
Many had to enter the den of geometry. The
many little insects in the form of propositions
tormented them so that if it hadn’t been for
their patient guide, Ruth Dutro, many of
them would still be trying to kill insects that
have the power to produce propositions.
Along the brighter and more even path,
some took part in a game called basketball.
Before entering this game, they were com¬
pelled to have certain standards in their
work. How they ever did their work so that
it was brought to the standard is something
that is not recorded in their history. Never-
tlieless some of them did so and they became
outstanding players of the game. After eight
long, weary months of hard travel they came
to the foot of the mountain of knowledge.
There they were told that their next trip
would not begin until the year of 1935, and
that this trip would take them halfway up
the mountain to a station called Juniors.

FRESHEST OF US ALL
Bewildered and Delighted
•- Vie 1934
F RESHMEN, unobtrusive Freshmen join
the throng of upper-classmen. Yes, ’tis
the start of books and teachers.
They, Freshmen, seemed very meek at first,
perhaps for a certain purpose! Anyway,
upper-classmen didn’t “duck” them in the
brook. They evidently remembered their first
boat ride and decided to let the Freshies spill
themselves.
Captain and First-Mate for the up-stream
voyage to sophomore harbor were Miss Ger¬
trude Adams, and Mr. Clarence Spuller.
Passports for the trip were twenty-five
cents, in most cases secured from home. The
gangplank was rather tiring to climb; espe¬
cially so when the captain, First-Mate or any
member of the crew were near, for the four
flights of stairs had to be ascended one step
at a time.
The captain’s office was on the third deck.
At this often visited office he gave out not
only advice pertaining how to ride the waves,
but also that of how to live on the land—that
of farming and all its accessories.
Miss Adam’s stateroom was characterized
by walls lined with books and magazines, up-
to-date books and magazines, too, they were.
The Freshmen girls enjoyed this housewife
reference library.
Every month currents would come sweep¬
ing (swiftly or gently) down the river, and
the passengers would tug and study for power
to ride the current. Nevertheless, the cur¬
rents never failed to come each month.
All passengers thought it would be soothing
to the ever-present seasickness to drop anchor
on the evening of November 18 for a night
of real fun. The party was held in the lobby
of the boat, otherwise known as the gymna¬
sium. Evidently the night of entertainment
was beneficial for most of them were strong
enough to ride successfully the flood which
came when they were halfway to the much
hoped for Harbor. It was at this time that
the time-worn motto, “If at first you don’t
succeed, try, try, again ! ’ ’ was adopted,—a
very inspirational motto for such a group!
Because everyone was so intensely inter¬
ested in reaching the Harbor, all were busy
during the last lap of the journey.
With thanksgivings, joyous sighs, and hap¬
py tears, they sighted sophomore harbor.

HIGH SCHOOL NEXT!!
Current of Final Examinations Passed
TUFTY-SIX small and disturbed students
* went on a lengthy voyage into a mysterious
realm called the Eighth grade. In September
they secured their passports from Secretary
of State Craw, and went on board the huge
ship called study. This ship study had many
staterooms, namely: English, Spelling, Arith¬
metic, Music, Art, General Science, History,
Home Economics, Manual Training, and Agri¬
culture. These rooms were all very difficult
to secure and required much concentration
and hard work to do so. On the way across
the ocean of Junior High School, some be¬
came seasick and were unable to continue
their voyage without help from kind assistants
called teachers. At the end of each month of
the voyage, slips of white paper called report
cards were given to the passengers and always
excited much comment, favorable and unfav¬
orable. In the course of the trip, Miss Neff,
who had charge of the stateroom called music
required each occupant of the room to take
part in a program presented every week.
The Stateroom, General Science, was the
home of several young and inspiring scientists
whose program, Scientific Magic, revealed the
true extent of the benefit they derived from
the instruction of Mr. Sedgwick, another
assistant.
The girls in stateroom Home Economics,
under the leadership of Mrs. McCurdy, had
their first realization of the duties of home¬
making when they were required to do a cer¬
tain amount of domestic work within a limited
time. Near the end of the journey, the ship
Study, with colors flying high, reached the
current of final examinations . If the entire
list of passengers failed to come up to fixed
standards, the ship had to remain in quaran¬
tine for another year, but they were allowed
to pass through this current into the Harbor
of Promotion, where they remained until the
following year.

OUR JOURNEY BEGINS
Sea of Wilderness
B EGINNERS crossed the stormy sea of
wilderness to just one small island which
they laboriously explored for days and days
and carefully tucked away all the information
gained in the upper story to be remembered
for their future voyages.
Even before arriving at the edge of the sea ,
the Beginners had to travel through thickets
of entangled underbrush. The trails were
often traveled the wrong direction; conse¬
quently the Beginners often ran into the
wrong rooms.
In order to thoroughly derive the most bene¬
fit expected from the island , the Beginners,
after enrolling for the expedition course, dis¬
covered that the thorough mastering of the
scientific knowledge which the Guides offered
required so much time that they did not have
time for the between-morning-lunch or
school-out recreation. Besides this, recreation
time was not set aside or called for in
schedule.
•- Ifie 1954
Inner control was an ardent principle. The
Beginners showed this unusual trait of char¬
acter, especially when a Guide or Guides were
attending to other camp duties. Special
memo pads which were kept by the guides
were more commonly known as points off and
detention. Beginners were so delighted to find
that Guides who also taught upper classmen
taught them.
During the eight months’ stay at camp, the
Beginners met several new unheard-of-before
friends, Home Economics, Art, Music Ap¬
preciation, Industrial Arts, and Physical
Education. In addition to these, two friends
over whom they were very enthusiastic were
Basketball and Baseball. You should have
seen them play Basketball. My, my they al¬
most became professionals! ! ! ! Some saga¬
cious and honored friends were also intro¬
duced to these people by memory passages.
By the time they had become well acquainted
with friends, the Beginners were almost ready
to “thank” the authors. However, a true and
worth-while acquaintance never does harm.
After a most pleasant year, the Beginners
packed keepsakes and joyfully crossed the
sea to safe land— Home once again.

SPORTSMANSHIP
Rules of the Came
THE popularity of games is demonstrated
A by their almost universal occurrence in the
history of the human race. Evidence of their
benefit is furnished both in peace and in war.
No more valuable preparation is obtainable
for the “Game of Life” in general than by
participation in vigorous games during youth.
The success or failure of a basketball season
cannot be counted by the number of games
won or lost. The game, whether won or lost,
always has its qualities, either advantageous
or to the contrary. Basketball, considered as
the outstanding activity of a school, always
possesses certain qualities which may be
termed good.
Clean sportsmanship and fair play are the
most prominent and valuable ethical and so¬
cial characteristics requisite for and resultant
from robust games, but at the same time
these attributes are among the most important
qualities involved or manifested in any and
all of the varied situations and experiences
of human life. Girls and boys need to learn
Howard Fosnight
• -
•- Vie 1934
through practical experiences the rules of fair
play; generous treatment of rivals and oppo¬
nents ; merging oneself in groups and cooper¬
ative efforts; loyalty toward fellow players;
concentration of power; and tending of all
energies toward an objective goal.
Some of the minor points which should be
considered are: first, cooperation of team
members to the making of a real team and co¬
operation of student body in supporting the
team; second, the joy of participation in a
game, by the actual playing, and by rooting-
on the side lines; third, development in the
individual team members of a mental alert¬
ness, a healthy body, mental and physical
self-control and self-confidence.
Basketball is a major school sport which
both team members and student body often
over-emphasize, to the detriment of studies
and general attitude. In considering indivi¬
dual players, over-strain in this game can
bring physical impairment, either through
improper care of oneself or accident.
Athletic games should be played out of
doors whenever possible. The physical envir¬
onment should be in every way sanitary. All
of the human influences should be the highest
degree wholesome. Further, these games will
be greatly increased in interest and value by
the development in the methods of individual
and group effort.

SHARE
Do We Like Sports?
THE girls’ basketball call was answered by
twenty-six girls who had the overwhelming
spirit which is necessary for the production
of an outstanding team.
The girls were rather downhearted when
Coach Castle first said that she had not been
able to schedule any games. At the next
practice, when it was announced that two
games with Centerville had been scheduled,
one might have thought that a miracle had
happened.
The girls did some hard practicing and
much was accomplished. Miss Castle spent
much time and labor in making the team a
success and she has built up a splendid cur¬
riculum of girls’ sports which larger schools
might envy.
For practice play, three teams were organ¬
ized and out of those three teams a first team
was chosen.
Members of these teams were:
Mildred Parsons
Rosanna Roth
Mary Alice Harlan
Helen Waltz
Elizabeth Bruce
Harriet Fosnight
Frances Adamson
Dellamay Metsker
Marjorie Reed
Maxine Gray
Marion Hartley

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
#- ¥ie 1934
Were Clad to Give
W E, the senior class of 1934 hereby acknowl¬
edge the wonderful power of the school
constitution. (To say that its power is won¬
derful is not doing justice to the constitution,
because it has prevented, by moral strength,
the seventh and eighth grades and the high
school students from wrecking the building
in the twelve years of its existence, and for
that reason it should be recorded as one of the
greatest documents in all history.) But there
is a provision in all constitutions which allows
for growth of the organization, as such growth
is inevitable, and to make a long story short,
we are going to take advantage of this pro¬
vision by adding an amendment to this great
unwritten constitution of H. H. S. It is as
follows:
Inasmuch as our example to, or influence
on underclassmen has been so great that they
no longer need such a cruel form of punish¬
ment, we wish to abolish the Detention System
—and if we succeed, we request the Juniors
to erect, in Room 9, a monument to our
memory.
We hereby bequeath to the Juniors our
superiority in all classes, athletics, organiza¬
tions, and activities offered in the curriculum
of our Alma Mater.
To individuals we bcs'ow the following:
Esther Allen, after a year of bookkeeping,
wishes to bestow Practice Set No. 2 upon Ina
if she will study the contents and keep her
mind from Waltzing.
Mary Alice Allen, the girl with the yen
to use jaw breakers instead of simple words,
bequeaths to any of the literary editors for
next year’s Epitome, her fondness for the
task of getting the write-ups in on time.
Mary, our Tigress goal shooter de luxe,
tosses her winning determination in basketball
to her sister, Betty, to keep the Brown spirit
in H. H. S.
Marian Brumback obligingly donates her
dislike for domestic tasks to Marjorie Brown,
and warns her not to let the broom break her
back.
Thelma Brumback willingly wills her sport
shoes to Thelma Keeling, and encloses the
tried and tested recipe for maintaining their
odorless interior, colorless exteriors, and the
dejectiveness of their general appearance.
Rosamond regretfully gives Clyde Gray to
Blanche Paddock and wishes to recall to her
mind the old adage, “Still Brooks run deep.”
Paul Bowman adds the superfluous what¬
nots on his De Soto to the depleted collection
of thingumabobs on the limousine of Carl
Davis. The combination of above articles will
constitute the makings of a Model T Ford.
Ethel Cordell grants the natural tendency
of her hair to abandon the straight and nar¬
row way to Josinah Allen who, if she accepts
this donation, will be one of the greatest ene¬
mies of the beauty shop.
Herman Canady, the hero of Freshman
girls, condescends to loan his winning ways
to Naomi Personette. (How can a day be
dreary with Herman around.)
Rena Davis benevolently bequeaths her
time-honored position in the cafeteria to Betty
June Knose, whose nose she knows will not
deceive her when the soup is scorching.
Leo Dumford sympathetically donates his
fear of speaking in speech class to any Junior
who has difficulty in finding the extent of his
verbal powers.
Evelyn Dennis, Dalton’s blond, tenderly
gives her Romeo, Clifford Weaver, who is as
outstanding as her permanent, to Julia Bee¬
son, if she will consider an occasional loan.
Thomas Dennis, another Daltoneer, thank¬
fully bestows his resemblance to Slim Sum¬
merville to anyone who cares to take the re¬
sponsibility of living up to the name and
wishes to add that he is not acquainted with
Zasu Pitts.
Eugene Drake turns the job of business
manager of the Epitome over to Jimmy
Ilartig with all the hard work, responsibility

C HUBBY LOWELL isn’t so well but bow-

Gidap old Dobbin, Gidap, Gidap. Looks like
rain, Alida, treed, remembers Dobbin of yes¬
terday. The row of bench warmers and the
solemn cornerette gals hardly like this mode
of travel. Some, though, who gaze through the
fence enjoy the sport.
Bobby says, “It’s ok, I have a pony me-
self.’’ Tiny Jane isn’t concerned—she isn’t
long enough for a Pressel, but she is an Alice
of Wonderland. Little Miss Beeson sat on a
stump, she wasn’t eating anything and no
one gave her a bump. But my! just look at
the other gals at the bottom of the picture.
Really, it’s natural they like basketball boys,
that’s why they’re so close to the huddle.

JUST A SPACE OF TIME
Classify Yourself!
T TEAVENS! Sixty minutes in the study
* *• hall. That sounds like sixty days in the
“bug house” to some students who have a
study period during the day.
The following is the story of an indolent
student who has a study period:
He rushes into the assembly just as the
sound of the bell dies away, looks back at his
“pal” and winks—as if to say, “Just got
here in time, didn’t I?” He walks heavily
to his seat, slams his book down on his desk,
gives the guy in front of him a hit on the
back, and finally decides to sit down. He
glances at the clock and figures out the time
the period will be over. Gosh! fifty-five more
minutes in this place.
He opens one of his books, glances at a
picture on this page and then turns on, maybe
he’s within a couple of chapters where his
lesson is supposed to be. He hears a sound
like an airplane motor, and on investigation
he finds that it is. He hastily gets a pencil
from his pockets, hurries over to the pencil
sharpener and looks out the window. All he
gets to see of the plane is the tail—too bad.
Oh, well, there’s a gym class outside. Still
sharpening his pencil, he watches them a few
minutes. At last he happens to glance down
and sees there’s hardly anything left but the
eraser. After taking his seat, he decides he
had better start in playing a game of basket¬
ball. By the time he’s played the game, he
happens to think about the clock. He looks
up and sees that there’s only a half an hour
left.
He starts in wondering what he’ll do to
pass away the rest of the time—sure, ask Mr.
Heniser if he can go into the library. He
goes up to Mr. Heniser, argues with him for
about fifteen minutes. When he doesn’t get
permission to go to the library, he mopes
back to his seat and gazes out the window—
daydreaming. Someone comes into the assem¬
bly and that brings him back to earth. His
eyes follow the person that comes in until he
leaves again. Looking at the clock he finds
there’s only five minutes left. So thinking,
lie writes out a pass to the basement. When
he comes back, the first bell has rung and he
hurries to his seat, closes his book and waits
for the second one to ring. While he’s wait¬
ing, he might push someone else’s book off
the desk or throw a paper wad down the
aisle. There goes the second bell. At last,
the study period is over and the student goes
to his next class with a heavy heart, for you
see, he didn’t have time to get his lesson
prepared.

SPIRIT OF H. H. S.
Salt of the Earth
OCHOOL spirit, like salt, is often lacking
^ where it is most needed. Many excellent
undertakings, either in the educational, politi¬
cal, or the business world have failed because
of the utter lack of enthusiasm, an essential
factor.
In the political world, enthusiasm plays an
important part in the success of a new admin¬
istration. Much depends upon the attitude
and confidence of people who are being served.
It is in a like manner that cooperation is
needed in a school undertaking. School spirit
must be prevalent if there is to be harmony
between teachers and students or teachers and
parents.
If there were no followers, there would be
no leaders and it is in this respect that elusive
thing called school spirit again comes to the
rescue. In many functions of the school, stich
as banquets, plays, club meetings, programs,
and many others, there must be a leader or
leaders. Inadequate obedience to that leader’s
instructions results in a backward instead of
a forward movement. In many high schools
there arises the problem of overcoming the
lack of cooperation because of rebellion
against leaders who antagonize other students
through their tactless leadership. This rebel¬
lious attitude has been entirely lacking in
Hagerstown schools and the absence of this
malignant factor has been a stepping-stone to
the path of success.
Many people think of school spirit only in
connection with athletics. The rooting of
fans along the sidelines of an exciting basket¬
ball game is, of course, a spectacular display
of this desirable element.
But on the other hand it is as nobly dis¬
played in our various groups, such as Hi-Y,
Girl Reserves, Exponent staff, and others. We
would not be without it. It is our life, our
abiding sustenance.
Perhaps it is because we, as the staff of the
1934 Epitome, realize the needed cooperation
from the student body and faculty in the
publishing of an annual that we think the
most splendid example of school spirit lias
been shown in the manner in which they have
responded to our every request, and it is
with pleasure that we thank them for their
services. With a feeling of regret we say
farewell, but in our thoughts there will always
linger the memories of the enjoyable times we
have had in the halls of our Alma Mater
during our high school career.
Sixty-nine
Four years we worked together,
Now our work will soon he o’er.
We have come to a glorious finish,
This class of thirty-four.
We always held together,
As we worked along the line,
There’s been many days of hard work
And often a jolly good time.
But now we’ve come to parting,
No more will we stand side by side
But soon we’ll be scattered,
Over this earth so wide.
But we always will remember,
And look back with joy and more,
On the days we spent together,
In the class of thirty-four.

“To be sure, Insure’
“To be sure, Insure”
THE OTHER SIDE
The class address to the Hagerstown High School Class of 1931 was given by Doctor Schutz,
Professor of Sociology of North Manchester (Indiana) College. Very lengthy and so intensely inter¬
esting as to hold one intent unto the very last word. Its view was intensely dark and mercilessly
discouraging. We expected him to finish by turning and giving us a glorious picture of dazzling light
against that dark background, but he uttered not a* single sentence or even a word of encouragement
or cheer. When he had closed, we yearned to say a few words to the class. As we sat by the stove
after getting home, we picked, up a scratch-pad and relieved our feelings of dissatisfaction by writing
what we felt that we would like to say. Really we thought then to write copies and mail one to each
member of the class, but we could not recall the tetrastich about “Jim Dumps” and being unable to
find the copy we tossed the scratch-book aside and forgot the matter until recently. On finding and
re-reading it we were so pleased with it that we decided to hand it to our school. It follows:
Young people—Members of the Class of 1931—We have just heard a very interesting address. For
nearly two hours a gentleman who is a careful student and exceptionally well posted on social economy
has been telling us outstanding incidents and giving us carefully ascertained figures along that very inter¬
esting line. He has told us that there are many great problems before the people of the world today,
and that of these he has set before us three, but without giving any answers—without giving answers
because he has no answers to give.
As he is a student blessed with exceptional opportunities to obtain information we very naturally
accept his statements as true, and infer that as he does not have answers, answers are not obtainable.
He leaves us with the sickening impression that before us is a bottomless abyss, that there is no chance
to go around it, no chance to get over it and that we must go forward. For instance he tells us that
you are going out into the world to look for a job and that there are no jobs.—That within our own
country there are more than seven million citizens willing to work and unable to find it.—That the world
does not want men and women.—That continuously there are machines being invented and installed that
do the work of numbers of individuals.—He mentions one that takes the place of eighteen girls. Alto¬
gether his picture is a dark, cheerless, discouraging outlook. It seems to your friend that it is not fair
to leave this picture alone before you. Your friend does not doubt the accuracy of his statements, does
not doubt that they are true and only a very few of the like instances that could be cited. Your friend
knows of many such truths, but with our esteemed Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb Riley, we see and
so we say,
The inner side of every cloud,
They say is bright and shining.
So we turn our clouds about
And wear them with the inside out:
That folks may see their silver lining.”
When you were told that a machine took the place of eighteen girls, you were given the impression
that those eighteen girls were left without a means of making a living. And tha.t is the case if those girls
are brainless machines—but show us a girl that is brainless and we will show you a thousand girls that
are not brainless.
For illustration we will take it that those girls were writing addresses and that an addressing machine
was set in. If those girls are brainless they at once become useless junk. That is just what will become
of this machine. When addresses are no longer needed, or a better addressing machine is invented, this
machine will be JUNK. NOT SO WITH THE GIRL. Within her cranium is the gray matter of a fertile,
wonderful, mighty brain. Her usefulness is not ended just because a machine has taken up the addressing.
SHE can still write. Maybe she will turn to writing letters, writing statements, writing cards, writing
advertisements: and, by the way, writing advertisements is a limitless field. Take for instance, breakfast
food. Almost every home in America uses some brand of breakfast food. The first one was “FORCE.”
‘To he sure, Insure”
“To be sure, Insure”

«»
«>
‘To be sure, Insure”
“To be sure, Insure”
“FORCE” was one of the jokes thirty years ago and the source of learned articles and merciless tirades
in business journals about the time that we first wrote 1900. But "FORCE” was advertised.—The ad¬
vertising ran the entire gamut from catchy, silly jingles to educational booklets. We were just going to
repeat one of those jingles, but we do not quite recall it. It began about a man whose mental and
physical condition made him “Jim Dumps” and ended “Until FORCE made him Sunny Jim.”
One of the booklets was “On the Road to Wellville” which reviewed much of our school physiology
and explained so carefully how “Force” met one’s every requirement in the line of food that one felt
that he could go through one hundred years of life and never need a doctor if he used “Force.” In a
year or so it leaked out that a couple high school girls over in a country school in Ohio were producing
the advertising, that the girl who wrote the booklets was drawing two hundred dollars a month and that
the one who wrote the jingles and made the harmonious pictures was drawing nearly twice as much. And
in those days few men drew a salary of a hundred dollars per month. There was probably not to exceed
a score of hundred-dollar salaries in our own Wayne County, at that time.
We have said enough. You have listened to a long address and are tired. We are aware that it is
an imposition for us to take your time. You have been so courteous and attentive that we thank you
very much. We hope that you have caught our idea and that you will go into life, not as machines—
not as dumb, driven cattle or as slaves, but as individuals. Members of the human family—made in the
image of GOD and each a master of his individual fate. Limited only by the diligence with which you
use THE BRAIN with which an All-wise Creator has endowed you.
“To Be Sure, Insure
1 *)
In NOTARY work and in INSURANCE writing, as in other means of obtaining a
livelihood, one may be “A Dollar Getter” without conscience or thought of the irritation
and trouble caused by carelessness and ignorance.
Or, one may be even worse than that—may be without thought or effort of giving
value into the world in return for the value received. Just offering something on the
ground that it is “cheap.” “Cheap” wares are always the most expensive wares that
one can buy.
Or, one may be intelligent, honest and careful to give a thoroughly thought out
service, service that avoids future disappointments and trouble. Service of this latter
class is not costly at any price.
Such we earnestly strive to give at all times. Consult us as to your Notary needs
and Insurance wants. It will not be the cause of future grief.
