Junior Year On the early morn of September 3, 1940, we the Class of '42, wandered back to school after a wonderful three months vacation. As jolly juniors, we found Mr. Krause waiting and willing to guide us through another year, In October we received our junior Jackets. Were we proud? 7 7 We strutted around for months showing them off. ln November we had the thrill. of our lives. Mr. Krause introduced a new boy to us. Clement Slocum. The girls went goggyfeyed over him and the boys were set back a notch. In january we returned from a wonderful Christmas vacation. ln the spring we had our IuniorfSenior Party. lt was a great success and every one had a swell time or so he said. Gee, it was wonderful being Juniors, but the time went all too fast. ln April. we presented our play, The Crazy Smith Family. That also was a great success. We selected our class rings the latter part of May so we could have them all during our Senior Year. june 6, 1941 was a happy day in our lives. All we had to do was wait for our big year f our Senior Year. si: si: 1 :ga at gg: ri: Senior Year We felt very important when we started our Senior Year. We considered ourselves almost at the top of the ladder so far as high school was concerned. The first big event in our Senior Year was receiving our rings, They are yellow gold, set with a blue stone, on which is mounted the school crest. Mr. 'Clark directed our play, 'lCurse of the Crystal Ball. After the play, we coasted until january, when we started our year book. We chose Democracy as the theme. We think it's the best yearbook ever published in M.H.S. but then we're prejudiced. We barely had our yearbook completed, when the Prom. problem arose. Our Prom theme was Spring . As usual, the decorations were beautiful, and as usual it rained. Before we were able to catch our breath, graduation was here. Tonight closes the history of the Class of '42 as a class. From now on we must make individual history in this democracy of ours s--- if we are to keep a democracy. , a-,. 74- -- -' ,-g-V A V 'J '-?-- 'f - -1 'L' -riff, f I is ..- .

PRIIPIIECY Having completed my long desired trip around the world, I arrived at New York, New Year's Eve. Wishing to renew all my past aquaintances with my fellow class members, I decided to see if I could hnd anyone of them. Remembering that Clem Slocum had talked all his senior year about going to New York with jack Maltby to establish a night club, I decided to make the rounds. As I strolled down Broadway, I saw Charlie Pllanz directing traflic, I stopped to ask him where Maltby's night club was located and while talking to him, I heard a voice say Taxi lady? Guess who? john Ast driving a taxi in the big city. I said goodbye to them, and proceeding down Broadway I found myself becoming hungry, and I decided to grab a snack in some joint. As I entered the door who should I find but Shirley Harris as head waitress ordering Lucille Wheelus around. I sat down to eat and to my surprise Charlie Curry came in to sweep the place up, a job that carried him over from high school days. I left there and soon say a large sign which read Maltby's Night Club. I immediately rushed to the door but was soon stopped by the doorman whom 1 discovered to be one ol my former classmates, Earl Theodore. I went in and checked my coat, I found that june 'Cole was checking coats and was all dressed up in a short frilly costume. As the hostess approached me, I saw that it was jane Taynton. She showed me to a table down front where I could watch the floor show. The orchestra leader was Gerald Basham and his vocalist was john Strunk. The first number was a bubble dance by three beauties, Cutler, Fisher and Aumickf' To everyones surprise one of the bubbles broke, and I turned around just in time to see Ed Loux slipping his slingfshot into his jocket. He was up to his old tricks again. Then John Basham played a solo, -Iunie with the Light Brown Han on his trumpet. During the intermission the cigarette girl came around and I saw that it was Mary Blackman. The lights dimmed again and a trio of Travis. Laizure and Tinsinan, carrying out their chief ambition, swung out on a hot number. jack spied me and came over and sat down, I asked him about some of' the other classmates whom I hadn't seen as yet. ,lack said that Eddie Schroeder had just received the appointment of Postmaster General and that Alteo was a conductor on one of the big subways. 1 wasn't surprised to hear that joe Wohlscheid was hunting big game in Africa, and that Bill Moon was still laboring at Wyant's in Matamoras. jack also told me that Ward Adams had one of the biggest turkey farms in the country, and was doing quite well. I asked about my old friend, Ruth Chamberlain, only to discover that she was one of the wealthy financiers ol the night Club. l was suddenly jarred by a blow on the head which brought me down to earth. I looked up to see Mr. Krause standing with a Problem of Democracy book in his hand, I realiized then that I had been sleeping through his class once too often. PROPHECY ON THE PROPHET After visiting Maltby's Night Club , Verna had a talk with the manager, jack Maltby. jack, remembering how Bondy used to throw the boys around in school, promptly added Verna to his staff as Chief Bouncer, at which capacity she succeeded very well. then that I had been sleeping through his class once too often. .4 ' ' 13 to fi , s ee rr 2-is v ffff X 1 il gf' rf llvii ' '.
