pei 1.s ncv: take a peek at the Lass ct fc as t:iO'y' re- farne al:n1ahty upper classmen Did it ever feel gc-od to be Called luniorsl We then had the weight of the world thrust cn our shoulders. So we elected Lucille Witte, president- Wayne Ashley, vice-president and Bonnie Gardner, secretary- treasurer. How to have a successful prom was the gues- tion of the day. lt was answered by our great success of a class play, i'Out of the Frying Pan. Then we sponsored one of the big events of M. T. H S., an open prom combined with the alumni dance. Some of us are still weak from hanging those Mexican streamers. Wayne Ashley, Walt Finley, and Bonnie Gardner were on the successful debate squad that brought honors to M. T. H. S. when they won the trophy at the Augustana Tournament for the second year in succession, We con- tributed quite a bit of talent to the allfschool plays. At the music contest in the spring of '44, Diane Millers warbling and lean Gillettes smooth clarinet playing won them a place in first division. The trumpet trio consisting of Wayne Ashley, Warren Moore, and Walter Finley took first division while Wayne and Warren also were rated first on their individual trumpet solos. Our boys known to athletics were Herman Bukovec, Don Gromann, Neal Walter, Alan Blotch, Walt Finley, Wayne Ashley, and Mel Hoerner. Now at last but not least we come to the year of high school we will probably remember the longest. We have three years of fun in work and in play behind us. Bill Mclntyre took over the executive duties with lanie Biegel as his helper, and Wayne Ashley took over the books. You Can't Take lt With You was our class play, but we can take with us a memory of four of the best years of our lives. Many of our boys are still in the field of athletics: Her- man Bukovec, Walt Finley, Alan Blotch twho was captain of the football teaml, Bill Herrler Cchose captain of the bas- ketball tearnl, Charles Erbes, Wayne Ashley, Neal Walter, Richard Mauntel, Don Gromann, lohn Richardson, and Alex Wylie. The class was well represented in the Student Council. Bichard Mauntel was elected president with Bill Mclntyre as vice-president and Alan Blotch, secretary-treasurer. Qther members of the class with a voice in the Council were Norma lean Gillette, Walter Finley, Alex Wylie, and Neal Walter. The music department had many outstanding members from our senior class. A member of our class was in ale most every section of the band. ln the girls' octet were Diane Miller, lanie Biegel, l.ouAnne Kascht and lean Gil- lette while Don Hanley, Alan Blotch and Wayne Ashley were in boys' octet. Don Hanley was both a vocal and an instrumental soloist at the music contest in the spring. Pat Frizol was the classs choice to represent them two years as cheerleader. We re really proud of lier acrobatic ability and pep in leading the yells. Melvin Hoerner and Louis Koopersmith have left our ranks to join the flghtenest' navy in the world with Uncle Sam as their teacher while Bobert Sweger is Ln the Army. Our last acccriplishment as a class was this annual. We hope you ljie it.
