Activities were created to give the students something to do in their leisure time, and to broaden their interests. Among the first activities which took place in Nlidland High School were lVIay Day, Yearbook. Band, and the Class Plays. Later the 'LYH Service Clubs and the Student Council were formed. These are two of the very important Clubs in our school. They were formed to pre- pare the student for leadership and service to his community after finish- ing school. Today, our club program meets every Wednesday during Activity Peri- od. Students are entitled to choose their own clubs according to their par- ticular interests. These clubs enable all students to get better acquainted and to get along with their fellow class- mates. 1947 A Cappella Choir l13l

SENIGRS The Senior Class of 1917 was the first class to graduate from the Nlidland School District. The class of 4 girls and 1 boy graduated from the Neal School. The class was comprised ol' Grace liyons. Nlyer Silverman, Irene Yost, Eleanor Nlcfieehan. and Nlatilda Edmonds. Because of the difficulty in handling so many new pupils that were constantly moving into the dislrict, it was decided that new classes would be started in January. as well as September of 192-1. This meant that there were two graduating classes. one in January and one in June. This system con- tinued. until 1929 when there was only one grade uating class. Those who finished their work in .January were held over and graduated with those who finished in June. The two semester plan was discontinued entirely in 1930. and the grade level of all pupils in the school district was determined on the basis of previous achievement. The Class of 1927 was the first class to graduate from the new Nlidland High School. Through the past forty years over 3,500 students have graduated from Nlidland High School. Nlid- land can be very pr'oud of the many outstanding persons who have graduated from our fine school. and have made names for themselves. The Class of 1956 had the unusual distinction of graduating six sets of twins. This year. the class of 1957 is honored to have the tenth member of the largest family ever to graduate from N1idland High School. The old graduates pictured on the following pages are only a few of the many, many. outstand- ing students which have graduated from our high school. l 1 gy y.
