JUNIOR COUNCIL Other classes stare (or perhaps plug their ears) in awe when they behold this thundering class boom- ing down Higgins Avenue in the annual Noise Parade. For the sec- ond year in a row they were able to thunder their way to first place and prove themselves either -the noisiest or the craftiest class in M. H. S. No doubt this peppy bunch has started on next year’s noise fest. 1 o Norman Herrington Marvin Reynolds Patricia Schwarz Mrs. Dean B. Pachico Most memorable of all JuniQr Council projects is of course the Junior Prom. Not to be out-done, this year’s class did it up in a big way with their Pirate Prom. Many hours of careful planning by the council and work by the class made this a real treasure in M. H. S. prom history. With such an undertaking as the prom comes much expense which the class was tireless in meeting. Such' things as sponsoring I Killed the Count”, selling Junior Hot Dogs, and appealing to the dance-loving M. H. S.’ers by giving the Carol Noel Hayseed Hop” and the Flathead Follies” gave the Junior Class prestige and an ade- quate bank roll. A floor show never had such a billing as that of the Flathead Follies” . . . Frank Sinatra, Ai (Mamie) Jolsoh, Dennis Day, Vaughn Monroe, Peggy Lee, and the featured attraction of the evening, Solomie, the dancer. (Any resemblance to Chuck Willey is purely coincidental). Clever ideas, shrewd tactics, and a terrific worker — that’s right, Norman Herrington, class president. Other officers include, Speed Rey- nolds, vice-president; Pat Schwarz, secretary; and Carol Noel, treasurer. Mrs. Dean Pachico proved to be a real scout, experiencing junior duties along with the class. Under her expert guidance, tne class has bettered the school and itself in what they call the best year yet. Yes, by capably accepting the responsibilities of being council mem- bers and leading their class through thick and thin, the Junior Council has made its discovery and is ready to arrive.

SENIORS STRIKE IT RICH Living up to their reputation, the class of '49 struck it rich this year by making more money than any other senior class in the history of M. H. S. By selling Christmas and gretting cards, ice cream bars, pennants, and booster pins; and by giving several un- forgettable dances the seniors earned enough to have a free class banquet in June and to give a traditional gift to the school. All plans for this year of years were handled by the Senior Council under the dynamic leadership of Danny Lambros, president, and the other class officers including Marlene Cole, vice-president; Gloria John- son, secretary; and Pat Ferguson, treasurer. Yes, by serving their class loyally, the council truly hit pay dirt. Much of their succpss was due to Miss Gertrude Clark, advisor, who helped them to keep everything run- ning smoothly. Miss Gertrude Clark To the Senior Council falls the task of planning all the phases of graduation — picking announcements, helping to select seniors for scholarships, awards, and organizations, and making arrange- ments for senior week. As a representative group, the coun- cil is frequently consulted on matters of importance in school policies. Its mem- bers also keep their homerooms informed on all class activities. Danny Lambros Marlene Cole Outstanding events of the year — the climax of four years of anticipation — were the senior assembly, picnic, ban- quet, Baccalaureate; and finally, amid tears and smiles, Commencement . . . . And so as the last senior received his di- ploma and left the portals of destiny , he carried with him lasting memories of a most eventful and happy year. Gloria Johnson Pat Ferguson 8

SOPHOMORE COUNCIL SCORES with TWO HIT DANCES The Stagecoach Stagger and Harvest Moon Mixer” really set the dance pace around M. H. S. this year. Dim lights, mellow music, palm leaves, and a full moon, plus bang up entertainment made the Harvest Moon Mixer” the first dance of the year in more than one way. Cowboys and can-can dancers took over at the Stagecoach Stagger” where Quentin Baker and Dick Jensen starred in their own version of Cool Water Although it’s rumored that the sophomores have nearly a hundred dollars in their treasury, it remains a deep, dark secret how it will be spent. Evidence of their hard work and pep were seen early in the year when they tied for second place in the annual fight to win the Noise Parade. Chief panner for the sophs was Presi- dent A1 Hove. Joan Bachman assisted him as vice-president. Quentin Baker kept the minutes for council as class secretary; and Don Lovell, treasurer, guarded their momentous fortune. Mrs. Gladys Van Vorous helped to make the sophomore class the outstanding class it is. Many panners have proved themselves leaders in school activities both in talent and in popularity. Their names have been connected with athletics, dramatics, publications, music, service groups, the honor roll, and various clubs. Mrs. Gladys Van Vorous A1 Hove Joan Bachman Two down and two to go. The class has weathered the storm of two years of high school life and come out with flying colors. Although they have become well adjusted, they have had considerably few serious responsibilities. The good sense and originality they have shown this year lead us to expect big things from them when they take their place as juniors and finally seniors. Furthermore, we know they won’t let us down.
