Sophomore Council members seated left to right around the table are: J. Privett, J. Bachman, T. Mueller, M. Williamson, D. Lovell, A. Hove, Q. Baker, B. A. McFar- land, R. Lange, and D. Johns. 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.

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. Junior Council members, who plan the Pirate Prom, seated left to right are: front row, D. Carr, P. Schwarz, A. Buis, and J. Boespflug; second row, B. Lavoie, A. For- seth, B. Wiggin, and J. Hayden; third row, B. Cooper, T. Kunick C. Noel and M. Reynolds; standing, N. Herrington and Mrs. Dean Pachico.

FRESHMAN COUNCIL Frosh-Freeze-out”, no, the Frosh Cooler”, no, the FROSH FREEZ- ER”, yes, that was the high-light of the Freshman Council’s social func- tions this year. Proving that they were not green freshman” as some upper classmen would lead one to believe, the frosh gave one of the most popu- lar dances of the year. Kenny Reesman George Fleming Janie Palmer Mr. A. I. Sugg For the freshman boys the opening of the school year held much suspense; but despite the tales of horror handed down by preceding classmen, they weathered the painting of the M” and will all live to pass on the legend to oncoming victims. Nancy Schilling Plans are now progressing for a picnic or a swimming party to be held during the last days of school. Election of class officers was delayed until the second quarter so classmates could become better acquainted. The contest waged strong and hard and finally, Kenny Reesman edged out victorious and reigned as class president for '49. George Fleming copped the title of vice-president; Janie Palmer, secretary; and Nancy Schilling, treasurer. Mr. A. I. Sugg did much to strengthen and advise the group in his role as sponsor. To prove their ability to accustom themselves to high school life, they organized themselves in the first week of school and made enough noise in the Noise Parade to yell their way into a tie for second place. Although the freshmen were all a bit lost at first, they are now well known around M. H. S. with their teachers, classmates, and older students. With the wonderful start they have shown and the enthusiasm they possess, their following years will be great ones. Frosh chiefs at work are seated left to right, first row: S. Spehn, and J. Palmer, second row: K. Reesman, N. Schilling, C. Anderson, C. L. Dixon, third row: C. Malcolm, K. Arnold, A. Pepe, D. Cote, and G. Fleming. In Freshman Council problems are discussed as separate homerooms are brought into a closer con- tact with one another. Sub- jects are to be chosen, in- terests are to be brought into the proper extra-cur- ricular activities, and fu- ture plans are to be direct- ed as they concern high school work — these, as well as social pursuits, are the duties of Freshman Council. Well-adjusted freshmen make outstanding seniors.
