CLASS HISTCRY In the fall of 1949, a group of enthusiastic boys and girls joined two parties under the leadership of Mrs. Mudge and Mrs. Peters, Campaign managers. Both of these parties were called Freshmen, but were divided into separate classes. We were looking forward to four years of vigorous campaigning for the title of graduates. During this year we raised money by having a booth at the Senior Carnival. For relaxation we engaged in a picnic on Moon Hill. Although we survived our first year with Marathon Central as our headquarters, we decided in 1950 to combine our parties into one, for the benefit of all concerned. This new party consisting of 40 members, was called Sophomores, and we elected Mr. Arnold as our campaign manager for the next three years. We also elected officers to help keep the party on the Bandwagon. They were as follows: president-David Tucker, vice-president-Marilyn Holmes, secretary-Norma Watros, treasurer-John Carrol1,Student Councih representatives-Joan Pickard and Mary Keller. For raising money we again had a booth at the Senior Carnival and held a square dance on April 6 with the Sunset Serenaders furnishing the music. The next year, 1951, we changed our party name to Juniors. Our membership decreased to 34 members, but the bulk of the party remained on the Bandwagon, We elected new officers to see us through the Junior year. They were! president-Norma Watros, vice-president-Jack Schwencke, secretary-Mary Keller treasurer-Barbara Ryan, Student Councillrepre- sentatives-Marilyn Holmes and Gus Nowalk. As we were getting a little tired of campaigning we decided to have a picnic at Griener's, on October 23. After that we felt quite rested and got to work!. We made money by having a booth at the Senior Carnival, selling fruit cakes, and having a Junior Prom. At the Prom, Joan Pickard and Paul McMahon were crowned King and Queen. Marilyn Holmes, Carl Edmonds, Norma Watros, Jack Schwencke, Barbara Ryan, and Gus Nowalk were chosen for attendants. In April we started a minor campaign for parts in the ph'y UA Case of Springtimeu. This campaign produced riotous results and we were quite pleased. To end our year as the Junior Party of MCS, we held a picnic at Lily Lake. when we returned to the premises of our recent escapades as Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior Parties, we decided to call our fourth and last party the Senior Party. This year our party consisted of 31 members. Interna- tional relations being uppermost in the minds of all concerned, we were pleased to discover that we were honored with a foreign diplomat from Germany. We found his name to be Manfred Schick and that he would spend the year with us as an exchange student. Soon after our year started, Norma Watros took office for another term as president ably assisted again by Veep Jack Schwencke. We elected Shirley Jones-secretary, John Carroll-treasurer and Student Council repre- sentatives-Carl Edmonds and Helen Lacy. As this was our last year of campaigning for the title of Graduates, we started out with a bang by holding our gwg Senior Carnival. After this successful venture, we had another minor campaign for parts for our Senior play UMy Cousin from Texasu. We held this play December 13, 1952. Then we had something new, a circus! The final minor campaigns of our Senior party were our square dance, Senior Ball and workday. Now quite sure we would be elected to the title of graduates we wanted to discover how a big government operates so we voted to climax our four years by a trip to Washington. Soon after our trip was over we gere finally elected. We received our diplomas and the title of Gra uates.
