Class History AS FRESHMEN: We began our outstanding career as freshies in this institution of higher learning in the years '41-'42. Proving that we were not loo green, we wisely elected the following officers to guide us through our first year. President . ...Mary Margaret Mills Vice President .,.. . . .Corinne Lyon Secretary . Annabelle Manaugh To represent us on the Student Council we chose Ella J. Evans and Kenneth Guthrie. Corinne Lyon and Clem Hoffman flew our colors as queen and king, and to further prove we weren't just an ordinary class, Corinne Lyon came through to be the first freshman queen of M. H. S. for many a year. We were also dramatically talented having from our class Corinne Lyon, Jimmy Hall, and Mary Margaret Mills in the School Play. AS SOPHOMORES: Having acquired an unusual amount of polish, we left our frivolous, green years and entered into our Sophomore year, '42-'43. We began by electing as officers: President ...... . .Ronald Potter Vice President ....... Mary M. Scott Expressing our opinions on the Student Council were Kingsley Greiner, Annabelle Manaugh, Corinne Lyon, and Clem Hoffman. The more athletic of us, displayed this feat as members of the football team and second team in basketball. We were well represented in such outstand-- ing groups as the band, Choral Club, Hi-Y, Sunshine Society, and other organizations. The School Play cast included one of us, Mary Mar- garet Mills. Keen competition was provided for king and queen, of the Football Kick by Richard Irwin and Lucy Cain. Toward the end of the year, we sponsored one of the most successful dances of the year, the Sweater Hop. . AS JUNIORS: . One of the busiest years of our high school life was our junior year. The very canable oiiicers were: President . . . .... Katherine Hughes Vice President ....... William Butler Secretary. . .,.... Helen F. Ricketts Treasurer ...,. .... D orothy Born Corinne Lyon was honored by being elected to preside over the Student Council, with Mary Margaret Mills and William Pfister, repre- senting us. The School Play cast included Katherine Hughes, Kenneth Guthrie, Corinne Lyon, and Mary Margaret Mills. As close runners for the king and queen of M. H. H. were Richard Ir- win and Mary Margaret Mills. We were well represented in sports, having several outstanding track men, and the first team in basketball were, George Powell Alex- ander, Arthur Cain, Richard Klein, and Morris Lockridge. Realizing that our reputation must be main- tained, we raised more money than any previous class for our Prom. This was done by a mag- azine drive, pencil sale, dance, and candy sales. Our Prem, one of the most successful ever given, had a Hawaiian theme. Music was pro- vided by the Vevay Vagabonds and during in- termission a very original program was pre- sented. With the remainder of our money, we pur- chased a fifty dollar war bond, and presented the school library with many new books. AS SENIORS: At last attaining the high honor of dignified Seniors, '44-'45, we chose to guide us: President . . .... William Pfister Vice President .... Kingsley Greiner Secretary ..... . . . Eleanor Evans Treasurer ....,... .Richard Irwin Student Council members were, Catherine Hill, Katherine Hughes, Mary Margaret Mills. Clem Hoffman, and Ronald Potter. William Butler ofiiciated as president. Manv of us were chosen as officers in the Sun- shine Societv, G. A. A., Hi-Y, Madisonian Staff, and yell leader. We had members on the track team, and Richard Klein, Morris Lockridge, George Alexander, William Butler, and Arthur Cain helped carry the Cubs to many victories. The School Play was ably enacted by some of us, Annabelle Manaugh, Helen Gans, Dor- othy Born, and Richard Irwin. We busied ourselves by choosing caps and gowns, editing the Mahisco, presenting the Senior Play, Tlu'n' Goes ffae Bride, and Cus- ter Contest, and engaging in other activities in preparation for graduation. With this the scholastic history of the Class of '45 comes to a close. Many of us will go into the Service of our country, either as fight- ers or workers. But wherever we are, memories of the happy days in M. H. S. will be with us. Looking to the future we sav, May God speed our victory and bring to us an everlasting peace.
