f Q Q 1 5 2 Q , S X You look through a Kaleidoscope many times but never do you see the same pattern. Its parts are many, its patterns varied?-soft, sharp, plainl, ugly, beautiful patterns. Iust touch it, up comes another, and you can never go back to the one before. ' A In a way, M.H.S. is like that K leidoscope. Its parts are many--freshmen being orientated, seniors de- ciding upon their future, teachers guiding us, athletes in competition, musicians developing their talents, speakers conveying their thoughts to others, those bright with idealism, some full of ambition, others not yet sure of their goals . . - We are all here: and not knowing it, we help shape the lives of many others around us so that when we gradu- ate, we are not the same. We have changed. Our high school has changed. In this book we have tried to cap- ture the reflections of this school year.

In appreciation to our sixth grade teacher who taught us a sense of responsibility and honesty, who took an interest in us and our problems, and who helped prepare us to meet our responsibilities throughout life, we are'deeply grateful. For reflectingthese worthy qualities, we dedicate this volume of the REFLECTOR, to you, . MRS. BENSON. ' ' It requires the efforts of many people for us to receive the good high school education we seek. Both as student and as people we are indebted to our teachers. They have helped to mold our lives and to determine our future occupations. Mr. Trafton has served our school well these many years both as Super- intendent and as an instructor. Our Principal, Mr. Kingery, also reflects those qualities of a teacher and counselor that we respect. We meet these people in the classroom every day, however, we cannot neglect the others who work behind the scenes to make our school run smoothly and efficiently. The janitors make the classrooms as attractive as possible, the cooks prepare the meals, trying to satisfy us all, and the bus drivers brave many a storm to make sure the rural students get to school. The school board is also very instru- mental in running our school. Hiring qualified teachers, making the preliminary plans for reorganization, and discussing the other needs of our school take a great deal of time. The administration, faculty, and em- ployees form an essential pa:t of our school's reflection. It is these people to whom we are indebted for the education we are receiving. rfltion YT G sxflgx' QSSX. . Ai- , 35 ,HL S ,,,..w-W 551 I 1 Ti, r ::1:: ..., ww -.

Your teachers and classmates are happy that they have had a part in presenting to you the variable patterns and designs. From these, we hope you will choose wisely. Congratulations, Seniors, and may good for- tune smile on each one of you in the future. FARMERS OOOP OIL CO. All the teachers and schoolmates of the M. H. S. Class of 1962 join in congratulating the class on this edition of the Reflector. This kaleidoscopic view of the many facets of high school life is both interesting and artistic. It will give pleasure for many years. The kaleidoscope is a contradictory device. Its patterns are of infinite variation and of constant regularity at the same time. It teaches us that human life with its unlimited variety is still cir- cumscribed and bounded by the regular practice of a rather limited number of virtues. Our wish for the members of the Class of 1962 is that the patterns of their lives may be as indi- vidually unique and as beautifully symmetrical as the patterns of their theme. 75 Petroleum Products - Propane - Fertilizer - Farm Supplies J . 8 J .

We feel we have set a good course and are proud of our achieve- ments. With a sense of pride in our accomplish- ments, both as a group and as individuals, we face the future with great anticipation of the new adventures it may hold. We are eager to take our places as adult citizens in this, our country, and explore possible careers and professions. Some of us foresee a col- lege education, others, business or beauty schoolg some hope that trade school or a similar place will help us find the keys to a successful life. As we leave high school and enter a new phase of our life, we overcome our feel- ings of regret by eagerly awaiting the chal- lenges of our new roles. Because Life is a mirror reflecting our accomplishments and ideals, we hope that we will always reflect those qualities which have been impressed upon us as being worthy of attainment. seniors YLSSSS9 E ROBERT ANDERSON ..

After that time our kaleidoscope never again reflected the same image, each one being dif- ferent from another in many ways. Mrs. Iohnson was featured once more as she greeted us into first grade. lt was then that Denny Olson's aversion for singing first became evident. He decided that rather than go to music class, he would go home and have a peanut butter sandwich. In second grade we were welcomed by Mrs. Waldstein. Here many exciting things happened. Sharon and Karen McGowan both had scarlet fever, and much to the astonishment of all of us had their books baked. We were thrilled to be able to churn butter and have a pet show. Broken arms, and punishment made third grade an event-filled year. After having to stay in at noon and recess for writing on the schoolhouse wall, it seemed nearly too much when Gale Peterson broke his arm for the second time. Fortunately, Miss Plorke, our teacher, was able to guide us through. The first day of fourth grade had both its joy and disappointment. We were all happy to meet our new teacher, Miss Sundberg, but became rather disturbed when we had to have recess with the first, second, and third grades. As we moved upstairs to fifth grade, Miss Hogge greeted us. Once again Denny Olson received a black eye: this time it happened for the class picture. Kathie Benson also had her part in making the year exciting by breaking a bottle and spilling milk all over the floor. In sixth grade we were welcomed by Mrs. Benson and joined by Donna Beedle. It was at this time that Sharon McGowan began to wonder if we really wanted her, for during a fire drill when she was pulled out of line, we failed to notice she wasn't with us. The kaleidoscope changed greatly as we moved into junior high. No longer did we have only one teacher or classroom. Iulie Arir 'dale became a new member of our class. Mr. Beckel, our junior high principal, provided the guidance and discipline necessary for two years. The essay containing words beginning with rn which each of us wrote, and the west classroom desks, which were sanded, are two things which everyone remembers well. With eighth grade came a petition which everyone, including Iulie Aringdale, signed stating that Fred Neary Likes Iulie Aringdale. Spring came and with it our eighth grade graduation. The reflections, which continued to appear, suddenly changed in mood as we advanced into high school. Bob Anderson, as the final addition to our class, joined us our freshman year. That year was filled with many things--the horrors of initiation, our first homecoming float, and serving at the Iunior-Senior Banquet. Homecoming was especially exciting our sophomore year. Our float won first place in the con- test, and our attendant, Joyce Kingery, barely made the ceremonies after having her appendix out. Drivers' training was also new. Several times the emergency brake was left on, and once, the car ran out of gas. Our junior year was the busiest so far. In the fall came the junior class play with the broken davenport and Iim Wolf's falling moustache. Right after Christmas came the long awaited class rings. In the spring the prom received most of our attention. After a few very late nights of hard work, the theme, Moonlight and Roses, was well carried out. Reflections became the theme of our senior year. At initiation the freshmen reflected char- acters from history. Deanna Woodford and Ioe Rydstrom portrayed an old couple's Memories of younger days. Senior pictures was another event reflecting for years to come the way we looked that day. Even our annual carried through this theme, reflecting the l96l-62 school year. As we finished our senior year we had large dreams for the future, for we knew Life is a mirror reflecting our accomplishments and ideals. The Egg and I lt required much looking through numerous play catalogs to select the Senior Class Play. The class wanted to h-ave a good play which would fit the class well and would be enjoyed by every- one. At first a drama was considered, but one by one they were eliminated and attention was turned to finding a good comedy. Finally, the director, Mrs. Lawlor, decided that The Egg and I based on the book by Betty MacDonald fit the class so well that the books were ordered, and it was pre- sented May 8, l962. Mrs. Lawlor selected Gale Peterson to help as student director. The farmhouse kitchen of the MacDonald chicken ranch in the Olympic Mountains area in the state of Washington is the scene for the play. The whole family, fresh from the city, finds it hard to get up at four--put the coffee on--go out to the baby chicks--come back and fry ham--out to the chicks with warm water--put toast in the oven--out to the chicks with mash--set the table--out to the chicks again--all through the day. With all this work, the two teen-age daughters realize it is difficult to find boy friends. However, there is a hilarious scene when Ioan, having finally cor- ralled one, entertained him under an umbrella while water dripped through the leaky roof of the run- down, ill-repaired house. This play is a heart warming comedy of a family who coped with the Egg-- and learned to like it. Betty MacDonald . . . who meets the egg . . Ioyce Kingery Don Mac Donald . Anne ..... Ioan .....

It is, then, the responsibility of the Underclassmen to take part and cooperate with the rest of the high school in making school projects and affairs succeed. The attitudes and values which will guide us throughout our lives are developed during our years in high school. Thus, it is important that the Underclassmen meet their responsibilities of participation and cooperation. ln many areas this has been a successful year for our high school. Always the success can be greatly attributed to the Underclass- men of M.I-l. S. This is good, for soon it will be their responsibility to be the leaders. Then, they will need the help of others. Our school is composed of many parts. We have times of fun, times of planning and of class projects: and times for study and learn- ing. These important areas are reflected by our Underclassmen. lt is they who give to our high school its character and make it a working body. lasfme y Gqflhxssxx xxqex' Cx I w is flzbrxr CLASS OFFICERS President .....

The Iunior Class--perhaps more than the others-- must do this in order to make a success of some of the most important activities and class projects of the school year. Early in the fall they began selling maga- zines to provide funds to finance the Iunior- Senior Prom. Those that did an exceptionally good job in selling magazines were awarded prizes. The general manager and her team cap- tains did a great deal of work to make every- thing come out just right. Another class project, the class play, also took a lot ot work but was extremely successful. However, it was the Prom and Banquet which took all the class could put forth to get the necessary work and planning done. sponsored by IOHNSON HARDWARE AND IMPLEMENT -- Phone TH-5511 Albert City Junior Pla ROOM FOR THE GROOM, the Iunior Class Play, was presented on November IO, l96I under the direction of Laura Lawlor. One might say that this play started with the ladder. . . and ended with the whole family's using it in a fateful plot to help pretty Leslie Allen and her hapless fiance elope! And if Aunt Lottie had been able to resist her life- long impulse to climb down a ladder in the moonlight, the elopement might have suc- ceeded. Of course, if Tom Allen--the girl's father hadn't built the rickety, odd-looking ladder in the first place and put it under Leslie's bedroom window, matters might have taken an entirely different turn, too. And if Old Mr. Witherspoon hadn't decided to fire the groom-to-be when the long- scheduled wedding was just eleven days away. . .well, the story might have had a different ending .

Some feel they compose merely a ra- ther unpleasant necessityg others realize they represent the key to their future aspira- tions. Perhaps none of us fully fulfill our potential, but that effort we do put forth will be well rewarded. The Sophomores have a wide variety of subjects from which to choose. Some en- joy the challenge of a geometry problem. Others prefer working with and learning more about the animal kingdom, of which man is a part. Still others enjoy the competition af- forded them in trying to type speedily and accurately. However, they all get stuck occasionally and need help on getting back in the right track. avi 44 W I.-dv-M N' as K .ww '5r,f12:Km,w:r?zF?vQ' NJ mx -.

CREAMERY CO. , Albert City The Freshmen gain many privileges in the big step from junior high to high school. However, there is one day when they must sacrifice their dignity--much to the enjoyment of the upperclassmen--and be initiated into M, I-I. S, Then, they are full-fledged members of high school and can readily take their places in its activities. This year the Freshmen reflected characters from the pages of history. In the costume contest the Indians and the Cavemen tied for first place. HlNN'S SUPER VALUE -- Everyday Low Prices -- Laurens, Iowa 41 We are all individuals, each different, with our own interests and abilities. It is the kaleidoscopic range of activities in which we have the opportunity to participate that makes our high school education complete. The activities in M. H. S. are designed to help develop our natural abilities in music, athletics, and speech. By taking part in these activities, we obtain pleasure while developing qualities of leadership. There are activities suited to everyone's taste. We have music groups for those who want to develop their talents in music, ath- letics for those who enjoy the excitement of physical competitiong and speech for people who desire to learn to speak more effectively. We also have smaller groups such as Monocle staff for those with ability in journalism, and F. P.A. for those who want to learn more about agriculture. Everyone has the opportunity in M, H. S. to find the activity for which he is best suited and in which he excels. Through participation in them, we learn and work together. Thus, we come to respect others for what they can do. This type of learning is essential for any education to be complete Abgtivifie-5' ' gg QINXY-Xsq' J Q. Monocle Staff STANDING: Kathie Benson, Editor.

At the beginning of the school year each class and each extracurricular ac- tivity elects a person from their group to represent them on the Student Council. Each member of this student government can present his particular views and problems for the benefit of his own group. However, it is the Council as a whole who decides on the action to be taken. Besides student government, the Council has the responsibility to co-ordinate such special activities as homecoming, the high school picnic, and the spring semi-formal with the other activities of the school calendar. Although our job is rather minor in comparison to the other groups, each member considers it an honor to be elected and to serve on the Student Council. The Student Council would like to express its appreciation to the student body and faculty for their cooperation throughout the year.

In this book we have tried to present the personnel and the activities of our high school to you. It has required the efforts of many people to make this book a complete and accurate reflector. The REFLECTOR Staff extends its thanks to the photographers, Mr. Buntrock, Mr. Trafton, and Wes Ritchie: the students for their fine cooperation, and our sponsor, Mrs. Danielson, who spent many hours in helping to bring this volume to completion. It is our hope that the memories of this ear in Y Marathon High will always be ones of satisfaction for the achievements gained and the accomplish- ments fulfilled.
