SPRING CONCERT

Shiloh Baptist Church was
thronged with music lovers,
many of them from out-of-town,
as the 1850 and annual Spring
Concert and Tea, presented by
the Lend Hand Club, proved
the always anticipated success.
The program last Sunday evening
featured excellent literary inter
pretations as we'll as the brilliant
vocal and in strura enta Il rem
ditions. The opening organ pre-
lude, Handel's Largo, was played
by the gifted artist, Coral Yancey
Alexander to set the scene for
those who followed it. 1t marked
the return of a truly great con-
cert favorite, The return APP
pearance of New England BARI
tone John Dixon, was of course,
enthusiastically received. 1.-THE
Lords Prayer by Malotte, and
"Just A. Wearing for YOU" by
Bond, seemed most appropriate
and Mr.. Dixon performed both
with true talent. And certainly
the same fine performance may
be said of Miss Fern Wynn,
whose concert soprano singing Of
Quiller's Daisies and winter
Winds" by Fritz won her many
new admirers last week. Variety
was one of the highly satisfactory
points Of the program. Thomas
Poindexter, concert vielinist,
pleased the patrons with .'Medi-
tatienp by That's, and "ezardas"
by Mont, and the two concert
pianists, Carmen Fuller and the
youthful Patricia Evans per-
formed sparkling presentations
from the pen of Debussy. Grieg,
Respigho and Chopin. The liter
airy readings Of Cynthia Belgrade
ADDED spice to the program, as
such readings usually do. She
gave two readings and one Of
them was the famous Langston
Hughes freedom Train" which
is always popular in these times,
The Junier Matrons presented

TENTH GRADERS FACE
SMITHSBURG JAYVEES

Next weeks feature attraction
will, in all probability, be the game
between the Smithsburg Jayvees and
Washington's tenth grade Stars,
which will be played on the cross
county boys home court this after
noon
In Coffman, at forward, and Sem
Ter, at center, the cross-county boys
have two outstanding players for any
kind of interscholastic competition
Along with these two boys will be
Pike at forward and Sheildt and
Miller at the guard posts. These
three boys are also not to be under
rated.
For Washington there are really
no individual performers that are
outstanding, but in Albert CutshaW,
Joe Ensminger, Ed Owens and Ed
Cross, Washington has four big
threats, as the Smithsburg aggrega-
ton already knows.
In previous meeting between
these two quintets, the Washington
boys came out on top by the score of
42-41, but in the final seconds the
Smithsburg boys showed fast break
that will in all probability be used
in today's game.
Another player has been dropped
from the varsity because of ineligi-
bility; he is Howard Jenkins, better
known as Howie around school.
Coach Moser is undecided yet as to
whether or not he will give start
ing assignment to lanky Jack War
renfeltz, or to Don McBrien, who is
an excellent play-maker.
The Washington boys will be lay
ing four won and no loss record
before the Smithsburg quintet, who
also have won a majority of their
games.

HOME LIFE
by Margretta MacTavish

by Margretta MacTavish
Home is a land that you discover,
You live in it night and day.
A graceful land that depends on you
To make it happy and gay.
And who makes this home, land of
peace?
Yes, you're right, it is you
For to make this land happy one
Your job is never through.
The wife has her job that must be
done,
1t is more than you realize,
For her job is really a large one,
One of immeasurable size.
Those meals that you hungrily ap-
proach
Ready to eat your fill,
These take time to prepare for you,
But, of course, she does it still.
And the clothes that are so neatly
pressed
You think they look nice too,
And she is proud when the ironing is
done,
When the clothes look just like new.
For those, who outgrow their clothes
so fast
1t is always nice to know,
That clothes can easily be made,
If you can only sew
A wife who sews is of great value
AS the family clothes she makes,
And the clothes can be designed to
your liking
And also, less money it takes.
Minerals and vitamins must be
thought about, too
For these are essential to all.
For if these are lacking in foods we
eat
Your health is certain to fall.
A good personality can cheer up a
home
And make it gay and bright,
With cheerful greetings to those you
know,
Whenever they're in sight.
So take heed and appreciate
What is done in this great land,
For only here is known,
That Home Life is just grand.

For the past week Miss Mary E.
Dyer, Testing Specialist for Wash
ington County, has been testing the
hearing of students in the odd num-
Der grades of The Washington
School.
Miss Dyer, who has lived in Ha-
gerstown for % years, originally
came from Chambersburg, Pa,
where she was graduated from
Chambersburg High School. Later
she attended Shippensburg State
Teachers College and Teachers Col
lege at Columbia University.
When interviewed by your report
er, Miss Dyer, perched on the corner
of her desk, stated that she had only
taught in elementary schools, and
then stated that she had selected
teaching as a career because she lik-
ed youngsters. In addition to her
teaching in Washington County, she
has also taught in many foreign
countries.
From 1897 to 1889 she was in Ko-
rea, where she taught at the Seoul
Foreign School. The pupils were
not Koreans, but the English speak
ing children of business men, mis-
sionaries and diplomats living in
Seoul. During the three years she
was there she had opportunities to
visit China, Japan, Formosa and the
Philippines.
When asked her opinion of the
people of these countries, Miss Dyer
commented, II won't say they're
quaint, because they aren't" Then
after hesitating a moment she add
ed, 'They are pleasant people; their
customs, clothing and homes are diff
ferent to ours; but their ideals and
ideas are the same"
In 1910 Miss Dyer returned to
HagerstoWn to resume teaching here,

If you should wonder which book
to choose next time you visit the
school library, why not select:
"The Black Arrow"
By Robert Louis Stevenson
Such phrases as these greet the
eye in this intriguing narrative:
There were seven or eight as
sailants and but one to keep head
against them"
"a little before dawn, a spearman
had come staggering to the moat
side, pierced by arrows"
The Black Arrow is story of
young Dick Shelton and his friends
during the War of the Roses in Eng
land 1t was time when friends
changed overnight into enemies, and
treachery and treason were on every
hand,
Dick, through no fault of his own,
found himself hunted by first one
group and then another as he tried
to avenge his fathers murder. Sir
Daniel Brackley, the knight of Tun-
stall, was powerful enemy to have,
and it was finally with the outlaw
band of John Amend-All that Dick
found refuge. The outlaws were
men who had sworn to avenge the
wrongs done to them, and it was
they who sent the dreaded black
arrows flashing through the air to
hit unerringly their mark.
The adventures of Dick and his
strange little companion, Matchem,
and the story of how Dick was final
ly made knight, are as thrilling as
any Robert Louis Stevenson ever
wrote.

Twelve Boys Take
Scholarship Exam

McDonogh Have you heard that
name around school this week? What
or who is McDonogh?
Well, the answer is, McDonogh is
a semi-military boarding school for
boys located IL miles northwest of
Baltimore at the head of the Green
Spring Valley.
Twelve students from The Wash
ington School went to McDonogh
on Saturday, February II, to take
an examination for $1,000 scholar
ship which the school offers. The
boys that took the examination
were: Maynard Marquart, Richard
Anthony, Terry Bryan, Donald Har-
vie, Kenneth Mcdowell, Robert Fuss,
Thomas Anthony, Milton Lynn, Da-
vid White, David Bumbaugh, Joe
Bragunier and Robert Mckee.
Many boys from other schools in
the state also took the examination.
The boys from here, who were &C.
companied by their parents, had
lunch at the school and then were
shown over the plant. While this
was going on, their parents, with
the other parents of boys competing,
were at a meeting with the head
master of the school.
McDonogh School was built with
an endowment of $750,OOO given to
the City of Baltimore by John Nc
Donough in 1881 for the establish
ment of boys school. A board of
trustees was set up, and they pur-
chased $50 acres of land on which
the school buildings were erected.

AS We See 1t

Our editors have been asked to
cooperate with another committee,
in order to establish a plan for
awarding letters.
Through the past few weeks we
have been contracting schools of
this county in order to acquaint
ourselves with other systems. We
found out that most schools award
letters for extra-curricular work,
as well as for varsity membership,
and plan similar to theirs will be
recommended by US.
After all, there are plenty of
boys and girls in this school who
work as hard, or harder than
those on the varsities. 1t takes a
lot of time and hard work to
make the honor roll, or even pub
lish The Scarlet and Gray"
Home room officers, student coun-
Gil members, taking part in as
semblies, and club membership,
such as the glee club, are some of
the other activities that deserve
credit. Points for perfect attend
ance would improve the school s
attendance records, and it would
help improve hardness.
IF only the varsities receive let
tiers, how would the Us other
students here in the high school
get one2 Sure, if everyone got
a letter there would be no use in
awarding them; but, on the other
hand, if only the athletic teams
ct htem, what would it do to inn
prove citizenship throughoutthe
school?
We advocate that a distinction
be made in the letters. Possibly
a basketball on the letter for the
varsity, a quill on the letter for the
newspaper staff, or something to
symbolic the way in which you
received the most points in win
ming the awards. This, in turn,
will encourage students who cam
not play on varsities to take part
in extra-curricular activities.
In our plan, points will be Civ
en- for intramural participants, al
so extra points would go to play
ers taking part in winning games,
as we'll as for the leading scorers.
We believe that every deserv-
ing member of the school should
receive a letter so that it would be
an incentive to better school cit
izenship.
