In the year 1956, 32 shy, awkward freshmen entered School. The first few weeks were very confusing,and the brunt of many pranks. However, they soon were accustomed ule and ways of doing things. Thirty sophomore students took part in the events of The main events for the twenty-nine juniors were the Macksville High freshies bore the to the new sched- the school. junior play, WLe- na Rivers.' and the junior-senior banquet, including wigwams and war paint.

JUNIC9 Anyone seeing the lively junior class today would scarcely recognize them as the shy children who began their school careers in the year 1950. This class, always a large one, was graduated with honors from the eighth grade in scarlet caps and gowns, the first group to have this honor In '58 they took the high school by storm. Their influence has stead- ily increased, and this year they are well represented in athletics, music, student government, and scholastic activity.

In the fall of 1959 the doors of Macksville High School swung open to admit a new freshman class. The class chose Julia Walker president and Mr. Campbell sponsor for its first leaders. During its sophomore year, the group selected Joe Starke as President and Miss Wright as faculty sponsor. ' Three members of the nineteen belong to student council, and the class is represented on the first team in basketball. Among other individual honors earned by the sophomores this year was the trip to Topeka won by Bob Bock whose essay on citizenship was given first place in a county contest. The sophomores have enjoyed their first two years at Maoksville High, and in their remaining years on the M.H.S. campus they hope to continue to live up to their motto: WThe timber lies before usg let us build.W Identification First row: Miss Wright, D.

FRE In the fall of 1940 the freshman class consisting of twenty-eight stu- dents entered Macksville high school. Later this jolly group was reduced in number to twenty-five because of the loss of Lucille and Andrew Mendoza and John Swartz. In November the class lost also its sponsor to the National Guard at Fort Robinson, Arkan- sas. His place as sponsor was taken by Mr. Suderman. Most of the freshmen belong to Girl Reserve or Hi-Y organizationsg the boys have represented the class in all sportsg Glenn Pyle and Atlee Becker- dite are members of the student council. Some members have made splendid records in scholarship. The,class is looking forward to the coming years, hoping that its work will be a credit to the school. Identification First row: L. Wilson, L.

EIGHTH .DE This class was started in the first grade with Ruth Waters as teacher. That was in 1955. Now in 1941, the class is still struggling to get ahead. We have been. in Junior High School for two years. Although we are a sma- ll class, we manage to keep a fairly high grading standard. This year this class has sixteen members where as last year we had fourteen in our class, which goes to show you can't keep a good class down. Identification First row: Mr. Harvey, D. Hudson, B. DeBusk, J. Starke, D. Denbo, K. Bates, Young Second row: V. Commons, M. Rothrock, E. Baker, H. Sparks, M. Commons, Reese Third rowg R. DeGarmo, F. Mackey, Fyffe, L. White E E TH .KDE The seventh grade, though the youngest in M.H.S., has nevertheless quite a history. The class is especially proud of its grade school record in softball, in which it defeated for two years the eighth grade of this term. Softball reminds the class members of funny things as well as victories--for in- stance the time that Richard Evans slid in at first and knocked the feet from under Miss Satterlee, who quite suddenly sat on him as a result. Among other grade school events that made a big impression was the paddling that Mr. Stocking gave the entire class last year. This paddling must have given the group a good Wsend-offn into this year, for it already has made a place for itself in Macksville High School. Identification First row: Miss English, Anderson, H.
