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.

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.
