COACH RUDD WILL
Be BACK NEXT YEAR

The students Of the Martinsburg
High School as well as the public OF
Martinsburg, will be glad to know
that Mr.. George Rudd, teacher Of
Mathematics, will be back next year
to teach the same subjects.
Mr.. Rudd has given lbs undivided
attention to the coaching OF the
school athletics, and it may be
truthfully said by all that he has
produced good teams on the football
field, the base ball diamond, as well
as on the basket ball floor.
All OF the fellows, as we'll as most
Of the girls, like Mr.. Rudd. and not
one one single occasion has he had
any trouble with his sportsmen.
hi9 we thought he was a tender
When We first cast our eyes on
foot. but when the football season
came we founl that when it came to
falling on the ball with us, as well
as tackling, he was regular fellow.
All Of the football candidates got
aong nicely with him and ave very
glad to know that he is coming
back.
When it CAME to the basket ball
team, he knew the best material
when he first saw it. for the persons
he picked for the regulars at the
first practice were the varsity tho
whole season. His basket ball team
won over half of their games.
Although we had but little time
to practice base ball. due to the
Blue Sox's nracticing. he produced
fairly good base ball team. and al
though they won only one game so
far this season. it has always show
ed good brand of base ball and
craftsmanship.
With the help OF an assistant
coach merit year we know that Mr..
Rudd will produce much better
teams than he produced this year.
which Is saving 4 great deal.

ocnH90i IS over
FOR this Year

Vita tne passing of examination
weel, TIC school term for this year
IS o&er and we hope that every
member Of the high school includ-
ing the high school faculty Will
have a fine vacation.
II the present talk is true, We Will
have only few OF oar old teachers
with us next Principal Miller,
Miss Logan, Miss Prettyman, Mi.
Rudd. who will again coach our ath-
letics, Miss Bryan, Who will teach
English and Mathematics, and Miss
Geurin. VINO will have charge OF the
commercial department. We are
sorry that We are going TO lose cur
commercial teacher, Miss Potts, and
we wish her much success IN re-
next work that she takes up. NJ
Trump, who so successfully steere1
the History courses through since
Miss A'dridge has been away, will
not be back next year as he IS going
10 practice law. and We hope he will
be- successful as we feel sure he
will be. Miss Ramsburg viii also
be among the missing next year and
we hear rumors to the effect that
she will change her school teaching
role for a life vocation. Miss
Kern. foreign language teacher, has
received scholarship 10 Johns
Hopkins and will not be back this
year. It is rumored that Mr., John
Bittinger. brother of Miss Mary
Bittinger. who so successfully
taught the freshmen studies this
year. will be a member of the high
school faculty the coming year.
The dreaded examinations are
over and We hope that there are not
as many failures this year as there
have been in former years. The first
year is always the bardes- year for
those coming into high chool and
although hte freshmen were not ac-
quainted with high school work, We
hope that they have passed, and
that they will be back mex year
with smiling faces ready 10 f@ht for
their school in every activity

When j. Hartley Manners put On

as peg O My Heart" and although
Mr. Manners was totally ignorant Of
such a thing as this years g"adaat-

is especially adapted for use by a

FANEMELL TO
The SENIORS

1t is with keenest regret that we
see the graduation class of this
year depart, not only because of
pleasant associations, bat because
of their loyalty to the school.
There is only enough space to en-
umerate a small part of the splendid
work done by the steady co-opera-
tiCn OF all its members. Represen-
tatiyes OF the class have taken a
prominent part in the Student
Council giving their advice Whenever
called upon. and always ready to
lend a helping hand to their fel-
low classmen.
With Thornburg as captain Of
the basket ball team, and represent
tativeS in track meets and in base
ball, the senior class could not be
said to lag in athletics.
In naming some of the works Of
the seniors. dramaties must not be
omitted. for along this Inc they have
eXcelled all others in their success
full production of Maggie Pepper,
and We can foretell that Peg o.
My Heart is going TO be equally
successful.
Not only in the Student Council,
athletics and dramatics will the sen.
Tors he missed. but in the social az
fairs where they did not continue
to be "dignided seniors" but Joined
in for the good times with the 9th
ers.
Nov. as We saw farewell 10 the
class OF 81 we bid them all sood
luck in whatever they may under
take.
