ENIOR LASS HISTORY We enter the massive portals of M H S library and with great care uncover musty and dust laden volumes of forgotten lore They are none other than nThe Senior Class Histories N Let us browse through the pages in these leather bound me morlals Ah, what's this, only fourteen of the senior class started to school together in kindergarten and only seven continued on together through senior high Who were the fourteen? well let's see, there were Charles Bradfield, Paul Williamson La Virta Hlntz, Joe Koenlgs Berta Lou Kell, Clyde Hollister, Cecelia Kraft, Verna Mae Cooper, Bob Duncan, Patty Barton, Mary Jane Dotson, Bob Mcvlcker, Marian Brooks, and Virginia Jensen We find that these few little tots bravely struggled upward through the grades Names were added and subtracted from the original list of fourteen but always the little group climbed towards their goal In the year l94l on August 51, they became full fledged junior high students Of course they took upon their shoulders the solemn responsibility of being as mischievous as the former students To pay them due respect we shall say that they car ried the responsibility well This stage of their development soon wore off and they became accustomed to the frightening noises made by the seniors and juniors As time wands its way so did these ambitious people They would not stop until they had reacted the top By now one can see the many active students in this class The musically talented and star athletes began to show their faces Many took part in choral groups As juniors they financed the Junior Senior Banquet and Prom Their theme was WAn Old Fashioned Garden W To earn the money they sold magazines, put on a mlnstrel show, and sponsored a carnival The class meetings became more and more sedate as the years advanced or nearly so And then they were the almighty seniors, overlords of high school At least they thought so There we shall close the annals of history until again we pass this way i 1 As frightened little freshmen they crept into high school.
