The Rear View Mirror One Monday morning in September, 1935, one hundred seventy-nine 11791 very small and very scared Freshies slid into one hundred seventy-nine 0791 seats ln room 24. Their teacher, Mr. When G. I-Iochstetler, was delighted to have such an outstand- ing group. He is quoted as saying that it was the best-looking freshman class to en- ter M.H.S. that year. After recovering from their stage fright the class chose as ofhcers, Eugene Se- crest, president, Thelma Underwood, vice-pesidentg Freda Grass, Secretary and Je- rome Scheidler, treasurer. A very successful class party was held December 20. In the second year, the Sophomore year, the sophomores elected as their sopho- more officers, Sophomores Rosemary Hendricks, president: Francis Leach, vice-presb dent and Martha Newman, secretary-treasurer. Several attempts were made to hold a clam party, but none materialized. As Juniors, the class, now seasoned veterans, reelected to its board of control, Rosemary Hendricks, president: and Martha Newman, secretary-treasurer. Richard Hanna was chosen vice-president. This year the class was especially active. In November they embarked on an old-fashioned hayride to the home of Charles Miller, where a Weenie roast was en- joyed. On November 23, 1937, the junior class play, Growing Pains , directed by Miss Marian Ferguson, was presented before a large audience. Ward Hammons and Bertille LeMen were in the leading roles. This year, also, the class proved its versatility by stepping out of their true char- acters as diligent f???J scholars and assuming the roles of hoboes. Yes, hoboes. In order to raise money for the junior-senior reception, they were freed-I mean ex- cused-from school the aftemoon of April 11 to work at various odd jobs throughout the city, the money received being tumed over to the class. This innovation proved to be a great success, as about fifty dollars was made. Amid a setting of leafy bowers with stars iapparentlyj overhead, the junior-sen- ior prom was held May 20. The class concluded its Junior activities with a picnic at the state forest on the last day of school, May 27, 1938. Heading into the senior stretch in the fall of 1938, the class organized, headed by the fo'lowing Brain Trust: Ward Hammons, Grand Potentate: Richard Hanna, Second Fiddler, Martha Neal, Keeper of the Cash: and Maxine Buchanan, Chief Note- Writer. Norman Vemon was selected by Miss Stevens to edit the annual and Rich- ard Shufllebarger was business manager. Blue and gold were pressed into service as class colors. Ably piloted by the class sponsors, Miss Margaret Rose and Mr. R. R. Colvin, the Senior class presented the play China Boy the afternoon and evening of May 12. Finally, on the night of May 31, the one hundred seniors reached the termination lcollege word meaning finish! of their four years' upward struggle by being ejected -I mean graduated-from dear old M. H. S. This class attained the imusual, extraordinary, distinction of being the flrst class to graduate from Martinsville in 1939. Of this and our many other accomplishments we are justly proud. Merry Christmas! . 21
