1913 English Class
Visits The Library

Books, books, books. You walk
into the Washington County Library
and are surrounded by books. How
do you find the one you want? Well,
that's one of the things the 1913
English class learned last Thursday
during their field trip to the library.
On arriving, they were met by
Mrs. Reba Sponcler, assistant libra
rian, who explained some of the
work of keeping a library and how
to use it.
Mrs. Sponcler then showed half of
the class how to use the Readers
Guide to Periodical Literature - a
book containing an up-to-date list of
all magazine articles published =
while Mrs. Bookbinder, our English
teacher, showed the remainder of the
class how to use the card catalogue
and how to find the books they
wanted.
Those wishing to take out member
ships in the library, or transfer mem
berships from the children's library,
did so during the trip.

BOYS DAZZLE GIRLS
I'm COURT CONTEST

The tenth grade boys proved to
be the best tenth grade girls team
In Washington County last Tuesday
afternoon on the local floor. This
logical deduction was arrived at by
the sports staff, as they witnessed a
los victory by the boys over the
unbeaten girls team.
This unique contest, whilh lasted
only eight minutes, was featured by
the defensive play Of both teams.
Playing under girls rules, the
boys found the weaker sex almost
their equal in the art of basketball.
Of course, the boys alibied that they
were distracted by the beauty of
their opponents, while the girls
alibie dthat they felt more like dane
ing when they faced such big he-men
on the gym floor.

Union Bridge High School. In high
school her favorite subjects were
languages and history, and her hob
bies were art and music.
She attended Western Maryland
College, where her favorite subjects
were French, English and dramatics.
She was a member of the college
Players" dramatic club and also of
LIE Cercle Francis. She did graduate
work at Cornell University
Her first year of teaching was at
Charles Carroll High School, teach
ing English. She remained in Car
roll County for a number of years,
teaching at Mt. Airy, Taneytown and
Westminster High Schools. This is
her sixteenth year of teaching, and
she enjoys working with children
very much.
Mrs. Alling resides now in West
minister, but rooms in Hagerstown
throughout each school week. In
cidentally, her husband is Instru-
mental Music Instructor at Wood

Tots Form Club And
Build Playhouse

Activities ranged from building a
playhouse to a bird club, in the ele-
mentary grades this week
Mrs. Overs first grade pupils are
completing playhouse in connection
with their classroom work. They
have been doing a form of interior
decorating on the house, which is
large enough for them to move
around in. The youngsters have just
wall-papered it and put up new cur
tains. Various articles of assorted
furniture have been brought from
their homes. This furniture includes
a sink, table, chairs and cradle.
Their own ingenuity has allowed
them to make window boxes from
cheese boxes, which have been paint
ed green. Later on, pansies will be
planted in them. In the near future,
shutters will be made for the win
dowS.
The bird loving students in Miss
Stotler's room have organized bird
club. The club, which is called the
Audubun Junior Bird Club, has a
total of twenty-five members thus
far.
Each member has received buttons
and seven bird pictures with their
descriptions. They expect to study
about each spring bird.
A bird calendar is maintained, on
which the name of every bird seen
by child is recorded. The meetings
are held every Friday afternoon.

Panel Discussion Features Assembly
Fairchild Officials Guest Speakers
Work AT Big ApIane Plant Explained To Students Man,
Questions Asked And Answered At Assembly Sponsored b.
Industrial Arts Department

An assembly, sponsored by the In
dustrial Arts Department, was held
in the auditorium on March Is. Its
purpose was: to acquaint our stu
dents with activities of local industry;
to reveal correlation between school
and industry; to help students realize
the need for youthful preparation
for their future; to acquaint students
with the panel discussion method of
obtaining information; to create a
desire for self improvement; and to
stimulate a realization of life's re-
sponsibilities.
The assembly was in the form of a
panel discussion between four stu
dents and four representative of the
different shops at Fairchild's, with
Jerrel Williamson acting as modera-
tor. The members of the panel were:
Jimmy Manford, Richard Edwards,
John Corbett and Joseph Bragunier,
representing the school, and Mr..
Carl 1. Higgs, supervisor of Radio
and Electric; Mr.. Ray Kline, super
visor of Drawing Change section;
Mr.. William P. Kinch, Department

man of Wood-shop and small parts,
representing Fairchild's.
Mr.. Higgs explained all about the
miles of wires that have to be in
stalled for proper functioning of the
airplanes. Then Mr. Kline told about
the activities of the drawing change
section, explaining how they make
the drawings from which the final
blueprints are made for use in the
manufacturing of the parts used in
the airplanes. Mr. Kinch followed
and told the audience how the metal
shop workers make things through
the use of presses, templates, dies,
etc. When asked how a clean shop
was an asset to the company, he

AS We See 1t

Discovering the fact that two
student council members, in their
regular meeting last week, voted
for the Cigars" and the "Ciga-
rettes as the names for our var
sity teams, stunned us. AS you
know, a list of names was sub
mitted to the Council and later
voted on. After counting the bal
lots the Council selected FIVE of the
more popular names. The mem
Der of each home room carried a
vote, and Cigars and Cigarettes
received two votes, enough to car
ny it.
We believe that it is lack of
good judgment when a class
would vote for such names to rep
resent their varsity teams and
their schoolmates. After all, who
would want to play on a team
called the Cigars or the Ciga-
rettes? We think it is a poor
name for any athletic team, es-
pecially our school team.
Perhaps the people in those two
classes were just clowning when
they voted, or perhaps one of
them, being sophomores, were not
bothered about it. Perhaps they
thought - the basketball team
doesn't need a name now, the
season is about over; anyway, this
is our last year in this school,
why should we worry about the
names for the future teams?
The next day after the Council
selected the Stars and the Starlets
for the tenth grade, and the Bomb
ers and the Bomberets for the
ninth. a petition was circulated in
order to change the name.
We agree they weren't wonder
full names, but they are better than
the Cigars and the Cigarettes.
However, this does not mean that
they are going to be the names of
our teams next year.
When the time comes, just think
a little more seriously before you
cast. your vote. Remember that
this is an important matter, and
that it will probably represent the
school in the future.

Our Teachers Get
Embarrassed Too!

1t seems almost impossible that
teacher would have embarrassing
moments. But it has happened and
with emphasis-it is still happen
ing.
Many interesting tales were told
when reporter inquired of the
teachers: Have you ever had an
embarrassing moment?" No two
answers given were alike, and here
are some of them:
Mr.. William Pennington, ninth
grade civics teacher: "One of my
most embarrassing moments was
about four weeks ago. The new
teachers room had just opened, and
l hurried through lunch so I could
go to the room for awhile. / walked
into the lounge and sat down with
out looking around When I looked
up l saw Mr.. British, superintendent
of schools. l smiled and said hello
l looked little farther and saw
Mr.. Cahall and beside him sat Mr..
Hoopengardner. suddenly realized
that they were having a meeting,
so l apologized and walked out"
Mrs. Lu Mar Slocum, physical ed
ucation teacher: ''It was during my
first year of teaching. While classes
were changing 1 had stepped into
the hall to talk to some other teach
ers. I guess we were rather noisy,
for another teacher walked down
the hall and told us that we were
to stay in at $3.50 for being noisy"
Mr.. Elmer Poffenberger, math
teacher: My face always turns red
whenever get up to speak before a
group of other teachers"
Mr.. Robert ,Babcock, industrial
arts teacher: MANY people have
made me blush. My worst moments
come when they mistake me for a
student"
Mr.. Elmer Muth, mechanical draw
ing: "As this is my first year of
teaching, my experience came at this
school, I had been teaching the
same subject for three days. On the
fourth day, as I was explaining to
visitor what was happening, stu
dent came in to have his paper cor
rected. He had most of them wrong.
When I asked him what was the
matter he said, You never taught
me this!'"
Mr.. Harold Bookbinder, guidance
counselor; st was really embarrassed
when was teaching class one day.
/ had talked to them the entire
period. When I had finished I asked
for questions. A hand went up in
the back of the room. Much to my
surprise and embarrassment, it was
the principal. / didn't know he was
in the room"
So you see, teachers aren't per-
feet They have their good and bad
moments too.
