A Little Reminiscing Everyone reminisces at one time or another and as my days are numbered when I shall have to leave these halls of learning, my diary unfolds my rights and wrongs of five years of high school. The very first page is dated September, 1948, and reads: I started high school today. It seems like a big place and I'll probably never get in the right room at the right time but I like it .... I think. The next important entry was when we elected our class officers for the first time. They were: President, Dan Roskoskey: vice-president, jean Smith, secretary-treasurer, Susi Hansen. May, 1948, reads: I tried to jump over the drinking fountain to get away from the 'clippers' but I did not quite make it. I can't wait until I'm a ferocious Senior. Reading through my Freshman year I see I was getting more confidence in myself, especially now that there were others younger than I. A few pages beyond the first entry reads: Gosh, it's really good to be back at the old grind. Further on it says we elected these classmates to lead us in our activities: President, Harold Jacobs: vice- president, Dan Roskoskey: secretary, Susi Hansen, treasurer, Phil Beebee. We had our first class dance, the Balloon Dance, for the little freshies, and it was a big success. Aside from that, this was quite an uneventful year, for the most of my time was spent on Latin verbs and sweet algebra problems. Having struggled through the first real year of high school, I proceeded into my Sophomore year. Skimming through the pages of my diary for the fall of '50, I find: I played my first five minutes of football today in a big scrimmage with Scott- ville. In February our class officers- president, Dick Foster: vice-president, Jacky Kruse, secretary- treasurer, Susie Hansen, and most of the class began the big plans for our second class dance, the Cabaret Dance. How well I remember the entry I made in the month of May. 2:l5 a.m.-Boy, what a day! just about the whole class turned out to help decorate the gym for the dance. Confidentially, it took an awful lot of nerve to ask 'her' to go with me but I sure am glad I did because we had a swell time. So I ended my Sophomore year ever looking forward to the fall when I would be a full fledged junior. September, 1951 -- Dear Diary: Finally through the long years of struggle, I am an upper classman. School is going to be pretty busy this year with the stiff course I am taking plus working on the J-Hop. Having elected our class officers today, we are ready to start plans for the biggest dance of the year given in honor of the Senior class. Our officers are: President, Dick Zimmer- man: vice- president, Sally Novak: secretary- treasurer, Susi Hansen. As valentines, we received our class rings. The entry for the J-Hop, which was held on the 18th of May, is one that brings back memories. I can hardly stay awake to write this: Cathy and I had a swell time! Those five months of work on the decorations weren't a waste of time after all. Our theme was Dutch Polonaise, and we were certainly proud of our achievements when we saw the gym tonight. Schools almost out for this year and I'm looking forward to my last summer's vacation. Seniors at last! Can it be possible? Having our two advisers, Miss Greenhoe and Mr. Hegler, lead us through this year made things so very much easier for us when we ordered our announce- ments, name cards, had pictures taken, were measured for our caps and gowns, and made arrangements for the Skip Trip to Washington, D. C. This year we elected Dick Yankee as our class presidentg Barbara Soderstrom as vice-presi- dent, and Susi Hansen as secretary-treasurer. My last entry I remember well. It was kind of lengthy, which is unusual for me. june 4, 1955. Dear Diary: This last year of school has gone so very fast. It doesn't seem possible that I have graduated. I must confess that I put on a good act tonight, in fact most everyone did. I'm no mind reader, but I know they must feel as badly as I do about leaving M. H. S. for good. I know now that it's no easy thing to graduate, the world seems like a pretty big place for any guy or gal to go out into alone. It isn't very easy to be separated from all the friends you have known so well all during high school. Gee, Dear Diary, I'm too darn big to cry now, I know, I just can't get rid of this lump in my throat. But I know one thing for sure: I'll never forget all the wonderful memories of good old M. H. S.
