FOREWORD On the following pages is an account of the year 1945-46 at M.M.H.S. We have carried out in our theme what we want to remember as a harmonious, happy and full nine months at work and in all our outside activities. We are proud of our progress this year, and wish our school all success in striving toward their ideals in the future.

CLASS HISTORY September, 1942, found sixty frightened freshmen making their debut in the halls of M.M.H.S. We soon got into the swing'' of things and gave an outstanding donee ond a skating party. Five of us rated mem- bership on the Scholarship Club, and we were well represented in the school clubs ond on the athletic field. As Sophomores, we patriotically headed the list in Bond drives, and joined the other classes in helping to pick crops in the fall. Also another dance was given, four were on the Scholarship Club ond there were three lettermen from this class. In our third year we revived an old tradi- tion—that of a Junior ploy, and a howling success it was, too. Again we picked crops, gave a dance and participated in Stunt Night. The second semester every one worked hard selling magazine subscriptions to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. Our final performance was a grand one. Production of a dance, a play, and the Cauldron busied us constantly. We gave a clever skit Stunt Night, too, and partici- pated wholeheartedly in the school basket- ball tournaments. Four of us made the Scholarship Club. Making plans for Com- mencement brought our last year to a grand finale. CLASS PROPHECY On my way at last! I settled down on the train and began eagerly to anticipate my mission, one which any journalist would love—a job covering the World's Fair of 1956. To amuse myself, I had brought along a copy of Stella Lezak's latest book of her juvenile series, The Floppsey Twins on I wo Jima, ond was deeply engrossed in the fourth chapter when the train jolted and stopped. What's up? My reply was to the effect that the train hod broken down and the passengers were free to look around the small town nearby. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the sign above the sta- tion door Glaabsville, and Joann in front of the station posting a bulletin. She recog- nized me and told me the story of how she had become mayor of this charming village named in her honor. We went up to her honor's office to talk, and I got the surprise of my life when I saw Joann's secretary, Bob Johnson. He had big news for me—Merritt Neilsen owned o three ring circus, himself being one of the main performers, and in partnership with him were Russell Dodge and Roy Whipple, who also played tuba in the band. Since it was time for Joyce Schmidt's program (she always was our favorite singer) we tuned in and following station identification heard one of those catchy little singing commercials: You'll always look best if you're properly dressed.
