H. S. with mis- givings in our heads and green ribbons a- round our necks. As the year progressed, we gained in confidence and knowledge, and felt that we were taking our place as full- fledged high school members. During our sophomore year, we accord- ing to tradition, presented a flag to the cus- todian. Mr. Lamb. A member of our class, Dwight Richardson, attended the sophomore pilgrimage at Jefferson City. Early in our junior year we presented a very successful play entitled, The Campbells Are Coming. a three-act. hill-billy comedy. One of the highlights of the year of 1949 was the Junior-Senior Banquet and dance, with the theme Rose Garden. Everyone looked very elegant decked out in his formal attire. Several honors were bestowed upon our students in the year of 1948-1949. Mary Ann Noah was selected as the junior girl to at- tend Girls' State, and Charles Fisher was chosen to attend Boys' State. Jerry Bur- gener received the Dieterich Award and ath- letic paddle and Nina Snowden was selected as cheerleader. At last we have reached our eagerly an- ticipated senior year. Robert Stephenson, Jim Metzger. Jerry Burgener. Charles Fish- er, Don Stanley and John Miller. were chos- en for the All-Conference Football Team. Editors of the two school publicaticns were Sondra Cavanah, editor of Tiger Talesg Mary Lou Axcell, editor of the Marcello. Wilma Klein was selected to represent the senior class for the D. A. R. award. It is hoped that we have established a new precedent in hold- ing an annual homecoming. Candidates for queen were chosen by each class, and our senior candidate, Eileen White, had the hon- or of being selected. Also, we decorated a float, carrying out the theme of a victory for Marceline with Jerry Burgener, football cap- tain, seated on the throne with a defeated opposing team around him. During our last year, several of the seniors joined the National Honor Society. Namely: Jerry Burgener. President. Wilma Klein. Secretary, Marilyn Evans, Treasurer. Mary Lou Axcell. Beverly Briggs. Sondra Cavanah, Peggy Helton. Lois Wolfe, Eileen White, Dean Hayes and Jim Green. We continued the annual custom of holding a very successful senior dance at Christmas. Also, the senior play, A Date With Judy, was a huge success. We partici- pated in band and vocal contests. and last of all. the senior trip. We knew for certain then. that our high school days were over. and as we leave M. H. S., we sincerely hope that we have left the imprint of our small history in the annals of our alma mater.
