Several new events have taken place during the year which will long be remembered in the halls of “Mac High.” Sophomore initiation was held in the fall and the “little Sophs” were warmly welcomed. The Senior girls sponsored a Football Banquet in January, with the school board and some faculty members attending as guests. With determination by a majority, the Seniors chose a class ring and the venture proved successful. The annual Senior class play, “Nine Girls,” was given in early May, under the direction of Mrs. Rae Orange. President—Bette Wathen Vice-President—Jean Wilkie Skip Day, the Seniors ventured with wagon, horse, and lots of food to the country. The day went smoothly with something for everyone to do. Even gasoline rationing couldn’t keep those “high and mighty” Seniors in school. During the year the Seniors have shown their ability in the different musical organizations and the speech tournament held at Linfield College. And now it is time for the Seniors of ’44 to close their books and say goodbye to “Old Mac High.” Our one hope is that we may have set an example for the classes following us.

The boys’ basketball, football, baseball and track teams were made up mostly of Juniors this year, therefore the class was very well represented in the “M” Club. In inti'amural basketball, the Junior team walked off with in-disputed claim to the title, having won all games played. The girls, not to be outdone, snatched first and third places in their interclass games. In other school activities, the Junior class gave its rivals plenty of competition at all times, not to mention the winning of the tin can drive which the Student Council put on last winter. All in all, the class of ’45 has enjoyed an exceptional year and it will strive to make the coming year even more successful. 1 1 ! 1 1 1 ] ] ] ' 1 1 ] ] 1 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President ..........

Many of the boys turned out for sports; football and basketball were the most popular. In the Student Body play, “Ever Since Eve,” and the operetta, “The Pirates of Penzance,” the Sophomores filled many of the leading roles. Both productions were proclaimed successes. Initiation went over much smoother than the upperclassmen had expected, as the neophytes needed little coaxing to carry out the ridiculous stunts the Seniors assigned them. In all, the Sophomores were an outstanding class and as Juniors next year, they should add more to the A.S.B. activities. 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 ' . ’ 1 1 ] ] FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS J President .................................................Howard Fraser ' Vice-President ...........................................Beverly Beard Secretary ...............................................Margaret Nichols COUNCIL MEMBERS President Howard Fraser: Hal Cuffel, Bev� -rly Beard, Beta Adams, Dick Bennette, Donald Cone.

We have enjoyed participating in the activities, especially the sports and dances. Speaking of sports, the Freshmen didn’t do so poorly this year. The girls’ basketball team tied with the Junior B team for third place in the tournament. Some of the girls were with the team that went to New-berg to play their girls’ team. The boys also made a name for themselves. Several boys were active on the football team. But the majority of them turned out for basketball. Several played on the B squad and they also formed a team of their own, playing against Junior high and other Freshman teams. The Freshman class was represented very well in all the many activities and organizations which the high school offers. We know that if the remainder of our years in Senior high are as successful and as much fun as this one has been, they are really going to be exciting. 1 1 1 1 ] ] ] ] ] ] 1 1 1 1 ] ] ] ] First How—Hyder, McDonald, Greiner, Fraser.
