By the time they reached their senior year there were only seventy-two members of this class. Little did they realize that those four years would go so fast. During their freshman and sophomore years the girls cheered their classmates on to many victories in athletics. In the junior year the first officers chosen to lead this class were as follows: Bill Mercer ....... ..... P resident Charley Arnold ..... ..... V ice-President Anita McCreery .... ..... S ecretary Darlos Coplan ...................... . ...... Treasurer l'Stage Door , a drama in three acts, was chosen as the junior class play. It was given before a packed house and many of the class had leading roles. The outstanding event of the year, the lunior-Senior Prom, was a gala affair. A high tribute was paid by this class to the departing seniors, Miss You being the theme of the evening. The ballroom was beautifully decorated, and with soft, dreamy music and beautiful girls-what more could one ask? Come the senior year, the following leaders were chosen for the most important year at M. H. S.: Myrtle Baker .... ..... P resident Phil Edie ......... ..... V ice-President Kathleen Bainter .... ..... S ecretary Fred Thompson ...... ..... T reasurer Dorothy Dunsworth and Red Miller reigned over our Homecoming activities. At the Valentine dance Dorothy was again voted queen and Milford McRaven carried oft the royal honors as king. The class chose l'Spring Green , a comedy, as the class play. The play was given two nights, this was the first time this had been done. George Deane, Dorothy Dunsworth, Iune Tolley, and lris Van I-looser were chosen as those who contributed most to the success of the play. Sports this year hit an all-high. The boys conferred many honors upon the school and were undefeated in football, and in basketball lost only seven in thirty-one starts. Both of these teams consisted mainly of seniors. Norma Foster was honored by being chosen the recipient of the D. A. R. award. Dorothy Dunsworth was voted the best Thespian of the year. The prom was again a big success, but it was also our last. Thank you, juniors! lt was more than wonderful. Commencement and Baccalaureate came all too soon for us, but how proud We were in our caps and gowns! It made us realize how much high school has meant and will mean in the future.
