Senior' Claw l li5iorfy In September, 1945, eighteen of us walked through the doors of MCHKS with a look of innocence written on our faces. We were very green until initiation was over, then we felt more experienced. During that first year, .we lost one classmate, Patricia Hough. Our officers elected were: President, Bill Herriott, Vice President, Keith Dawkins, Secretary-Treasurer, Bill Dean. The Student Council rep- resentative was Marilyn Ponder. Miss Meyer was our class advisor. In our sophomore year, we gained three new members, Audrey Cafin, Maxine Dodd, and Jim Jones. We lost Betty Grindley, and Dorothy Butts. Soon after registration, Mr. Engelking aided us in electing officers: President, Marilyn Ponder, Vice-President, Jim Jones, Secretary-Treasurer, Bill Herriott, Parliamentarian, Darlene Manuel. Marilyn Ponder and Jim Jones. served on the Student Coun- cil. 1 , When September, 1947, came around, we assembled as Juniors and elected the following officers: President, Bill Herriott, Vice- President, Keith Dawkins, Secretary-Treasurer, Maxine Dodd. We gained Leon Souders and Mac Ribley. We lost three members, Bill Dean, Jim Maley, and Bob Moeller. Mrs. Inskip was our class spon- sor. On November 7, we successfully presented our Junior Play, Don't Darken My Door. We ordered class rings early and received them before Christmas. We gave a St. Valentine Dance on February 14, which was enjoyed very much. On May 7, we entertained the Senior Class at the annual banquet held at the high school. We returned in the fall of 1948 with twenty-one in our Senior year. We lost Colleen Carson this year and gained three new mem- bers, Ronald Shelton, Francis Early, and Jim Paul. We chose the following officers for the year: President, Bill Herriott, Vice-Presi- dent, Patricia Patton, Secretary, Keith Dawkins, Treasurer, Max- ine Dodd. Marilyn Ponder, Jim Jones, Bill Herriott and Ronald Shel- ton served on the student council. We have enjoyed our four years of high school and we will al- ways have pleasant memories. We begin our future lives with high hopes and new ambitions.
