SOP!-IOMORE CLASS HISTORY In nineteen forty-two the Freshmen class com- menced the year with a selection of class officers. Mr. 'I'imm was chosen as faculty advisorg J im' Carlton, Presi- dentg Deana Mae Chubbuck, Vice-President, Abigail Schurtz, Secretary, Al Schmidt, Jr., Treasurer. The first ordeal undergone by the class was initi- ation by the Sophomores which was followed by a party. With everyone there from Kate Smith to Clark Gable. A Thanksgiving party was sponsored, complete with the dramatization of the Courtship of Miles Standish. After the first blizzard of the winter, the class had a sliding party. A class hike and Weiner roast was enjoyed by all in the spring and also sponsored a High School Square Dance. The school picnic that was to end the year, was called off by rain, but the class welcomed summer vacation, and by fall were ready to return as Sopho- mores. Mr. Timm was again chosen as class advisor: Jack Moses, presidentg Al Schmidt, Jr., vice-president: Robert Elsey, secretary: and Jim Carlton, treasurer. The first task undertaken by the Sophomores was to traditionally initiate Freshmen. A complete circus was had with everything from bare-back riders to clowns. The day was completed with a party in the evening. The Sophomores aided the Juniors-in putting on a Christmas party. During the winter another sliding party was held. The class sponsored a Leap Year Hop. and, as the end of the school year nears, we hope to put on a barn dance. -Harriet Stern

FRESI-IMAN CLASS HISTORY On Tuesday, September 7, 1943, William Timm walked into the Junior Assembly with perfectly good in- tentions of talking charge of an ordinary classroom. However, upon catching sight of the western half of the room foccupied by a new and very green group of Fresh- menj he immediately decided that conditions must be getting very bad. They were starting to plant vegeta- bles in the classroom. Eventually though, he became used to the Freshman class of '44, We were given the rules and regulations icon- fidentally, we could use themi of M. H. S., and were sent to our various classrooms to get acquainted with the teachers. We were given several weeks to get accustomed to our teachers and each other. Then one day we were sent to the Junior Assembly and told to choose our class advisor, and officers. The duties were inflicted upon Miss Plummer as advisor and Jean Hunt, Catherine Artis, Dale Bowlby and Robert Powers as president, vice president, secretary and treasurer respectively. Class meetings weren't very successful since they called for order-a quality that was strangely lacking in us. Shortly after we were called to room B and given myterious little paper slips that told what would be our fates for initiation. These slips explained that on the next Thursday we were to parade through the school imitating a circus. That night the sophomores' enter- tained us at a party to show their good intentions. In December we sponsored a dance after a basket- ball game. However, due to our yet damp ears it was not as much of a success as planned. In April we held a class party in the Community Building to help the boys brush up on their dancing. We started with a satisfactory population of thirty- three and closed with thirty, losing Joan Peters, Donna Dean, and Frances Hughes. -Jean Hunt
