Basehore Starnbaugh Hulse Green Stoner Gelsinger Clouser Myers Lebo Then ho, boys, ho! . Hitching the horses to their Wagons, the ambitious pioneers of the 19th Century started the long journey across the Wilderness to California. There, in the year 1849, they discovered gold. The struggle for this treasure took patience, and many times the gold diggers suffered disappointment and heartaches, butperseverance led them on to glory. Starting to feel a little big we were the Freshmen of M. H. S. in September, '45. Bob Carchicli was our presi- dent, with Bill Callahan as vice president, and Allen Heiges, our student council representative. The ninth grade assembly and class party were loads of fun. Being a Sophomore was big stuff! At last We were one of the big three in senior high. Bob Hann, president, Louise Brinton, vice president, Bill Callahan, secretary and treasurer, and Peggy Hoffman, student council repre- sentative, presided as our class officers and helped to choose our class rings. The Ghostly Passenger, our memorable dramatic play, and the class party under the supervision of Miss Bear, were the two top episodes of the year. Oh, but being a lunior was even bigger stuff! We had our class rings, we had a successful lunior play, Star Light, Star Bright, which boasted standing room only, we put on a hilarious variety show in assembly, we had hard working class officers: president, Mary K. Gleim, vice president, lacqueline Grundon, secretary and treasurer, Carole Mancuso, student council representative, Alva Stephenson, and lastly we played host to the class of '48 at Allenberry on May l 5th. Now we are the biggest stuff! We started this busy year selling hot dogs, candy, and pop at our home football games . . . we sold magazines . . . we played football . . . we cheered . . . we sang with the glee club . . . our senior play attracted a full house . . . we played and Watched basketball . . . we worked on the stage . . . we did trig. and all those English themes . . . we had fun at school dances . . . and we happily remember the lunior- Senior prom and class day. Mrs. Orris, our class dean, worked with our class officers: George Wagner, president, Kay Gleim, vice president and student council representative, Alva Stephenson, secre- tary and treasurer. All those happy events added up to our last thrilling experiences at M. H. S. As we solemnly listened to our inspiring Baccalaureate Services and Commencement Exercises, each thought of his own future plans in life, no more would we all be working together. A Many times the struggle for our diplomas took patience. We had disappointments and heartaches, lots of fun and experiences We will always cherish. However, when We finally received our gold nug- gets We lcnew that they were well worth the effort.
