LIKE SHOOTING STARS, THESE JUNIORS Ernest Meier Marilyn Sonnenburg Jeanne Hanson Orlene Brooks President Vice President Secretary Treasurer The celestially famous juniors, who have but one short year left of work, study, and play in MHS, have had a varied social life in their career under the leadership of their class advisers: Miss Tautges, Mrs. Dryer, and Mr. Capper Two of their saturnites, Jeanne Jacobs and Donald Warnes, left them in their freshman year. A farewell party was given in their honor. Phil Nowak's, LaVerne Bachiniskfs, and Bob Eberhart's mellow bell voices rang the heavens with angelic music. Bob Eberhart and Jane Davis set the angel's harp vibrating around St. Peter's Gate. An imitation of MacNamara's Band was given by Jean Hansen, Jem Anderson, Alice Kruse, and Marilyn Sonnenberg. As they were progressing up the ladder to sophomores, a class star, Bernard Anderson, was given farewell party. They, as sophomores, had two class parties. One of these was held under the starry skies at the MRA. The Ludington dance they had after the basketball game this year was a marvelous success. The J-Hop was a great undertaking and showed a lot of hard work, effort, and planning by Lorna Albertson. Miss Tautges was also a great help and through Mr. Capper and her, they closed their junior year with great antici- pation for the future. UNIOR

AND WINTER'S SILENCE BREATHING It almost was to the throne of the heavens and it was a sight to behold. Yes, yes, my little star was a beauty, so young and so confident of its mastery of the sky. It moved slowly and steadily now toward its goal, no longer cautious, for the throne was in sight. I longed to say, 'linger a while, little one, savor the sweetness of your victory, but I did not, for time pushed the little star along, young fella, as it did you . . . to my doors. And so my little star reached the throne of the heavens. It ruled the skies from its position . . . so high up there. W Now, you see it, youngster, you are another star just beginning your journey. My little star has finished. It rules . . . but time is ever pushing on and putting a younger star in its place. Understand? Yes, my star has finished its existence in this sphere. It begins anew in another one. See it, proud little thing that it is, grasping so tightly to its scepter. Kinda make you feel bad now, don't it? But that's life, I reckon. My little star is growing dimmer now. lt's spending its glory to bid me farewell. Look away! Frosh. Are you to see a dying prince of the heavens? I see it falling now, my little falling star. It's leaving a path of star-dust in it's wake but that will fade. It's spinning now, growing dimmer and fainter. There! It's gone! Fallen from its throne and majesty, it has fallen. I have lost it. Goodbye my little star, goodbye. - JACKY ANDERSON 27
