Kfvwd ,JQQLLOW As the senior class of 1946, we have come to the end of the stretch, and in doing so realize how badly we hate to leave our dear old M. H. S. ln looking back over our history, we see all the good times we enjoyed together that will only live in memories from now on. On September l4, l942 thirty very green freshmen entered high school, with a feeling of insecurity. The first thing we saw were those very big seniors just waiting for ini- tiation day. lt finally came, but was not so bad as was expected. We wore our clothes wrong-side out and backwards-we were a funny looking bunch, to say the least. We were seen in every senior class given, and some of our fine and intelligent members took final tests in the senior's place. Afterwards we heard a teacher remark that we knew just about as much as the original class did. They can't say we didn't try. After the first few weeks, we became a little more settled to the ways of this strange place. We elected officers as follows: Presi- dent, Ruth Routsony Vice President, Frances Cramer: Secretary, Rose Stevens: Treasurer, Lois Ann Scheerery Reporter, Gene Miller. For our class motto, we chose- Our Aim Success, Our Hope, to Win. Blue and Gold were chosen as our class colors, and the yellow rose as our class flower. We enjoyed three parties during the course of the year, at the homes of class members. By the end of our first year, we were be- ginning to feel pretty important and sure of ourselves. We walked cockily out of the school building in May with thoughts of the coming year, and how important we would be as a Sophomore Class. Returning in the fall of l943, we were glad to welcome john Patterson, from Mt. Cory, joan Hector, from Gilboa, Mary King, from Fostoria, Emmet Clemments, from Findlay, and Bill jones, from Gomer as new members of our class. lt was with great regret that we lost one classmate, Margaret Smalley, who moved to Van Buren. Our class officers were chosen during the first week, as follows: President, Bill jonesy Vice President, Ruth Routsong Secretary-Treasurer, Max Gorrell: Reporter, Lois Ann Scheererg Historian, Clyde Benroth. We enjoyed many new activities this year and had many class parties. We had representatives in most of the sports and were very proud of our class in every way. We all had a good time during this year, but every thought was turned to the following year, which seemed so far away, but held such fascination for all. We dismissed in May with hopes that the summer would not go too fast, but fast enough to get us back for the many activities we knew would be awaiting us in the junior year. At last, that looked for year of activities had arrived. We came in full force, with thirty-two members answering the roll call. For class officers, the following were elected: President, Bill jones: Vice President, Dale Sandsy Secretary'Treasurer, Max Gorrell: Historian, Gerry Harmony Reporter, Gene Miller. Max Gorrell left us in the middle of the year to enlist in the Navy. To replace him as Secretary, we chose Rose Stevens. We also were sorry to lose Lowell Tate, to the army, Margaret Bishop, Mary Lentz, and Emmet Clemments, to other schools. We were very glad to welcome Roger Shoop to our class as a new member. To raise money for our junior-Senior ban- quet we put on the three act comedy, Shiny Nose, which proved to be a great success. We had many good times at practice and the parties afterwards. Mr. Pees was chosen for our advisor and director of the class play. We were sorry to lose him to the Navy before the year was out. At last those long awaited days came, and we gave our banquet, after many weeks of preparation. We carried out the Old Fash- ioned Garden theme. It was held in the club room, on the first floor. The juniors were chosen as ushers to serve at the graduation exercises, and once more we felt very proud of our class. We adjourned in May, with high hopes of a fine senior class the next year. On September 4, l945, we started our last steps toward that long awaited goal. With twenty-eight members, we elected the follow- ing as officers for our last year. President, Bill jones, Vice-President, Ruth Routson: Sec- retary-Treasurer, Rose Stevens: Historian, joan Hector, and Reporter, john Patterson. We enjoyed two class parties during the tContinued on Page 5lJ
