Senior Class History QContinuedJ marks the next day, everybody had a good time. The next event was the traditional Christmas party, which was given with the helping hand of Miss Mason and her Sophomores. The party was complete with sparkling snow- flakes, Christmas trees, games and a real, honest to goodness Santa Claus. It was a huge success. Soon after we returned from our Christmas vacation, we turned our efforts toward the Junior Play. Under the able direction of Miss Mason, we produced a hilarious comedy, Here Comes Charley on March 21, 1947. When the play was accomplished, the Junior-Senior prom was in the spotlight and all our thoughts were diverted in that direction. After much discussion a banquet was decided against. The Senior were rather indignant about it but we promised them a very lovely prom Our theme was Moonlight and Roses . Many eighth hours were spent in Mr. H's room making paper roses. The false ceiling was blue crepe paper, while the false walls were made of white crepe paper and sprinkled with red, pink and white roses. A grass carpet fell from the stage to the dance floor on which roses were pinned to spell out the words J-HOP. While we danced, our roses were slowly disappearing as souvenirs. We closed our Junior year by having the honor of walking with the Seniors at Baccalaureate. SENIOR YEAR For the last tirne we- began a school year at M. H. S. on September 2, 1947. We again choose Mr. Hungerford as our class advisor. Ed Schten was elected president: Eugene Beadle, vice-president: Evelyn Ritter, secretaryg and Juanita Hagan, treasurer. Nothing need be said of our class order, naturally it was perfection itself. Our class had dwindled from nineteen to fourteen members, since our Junior year. The members gone were: Jeanette Hulme, Florence Heath, Iona Farquhar, David Quinn and Lowell Drake. We had much to accomplish this year and we commenced with our Senior Play and Christrnas cards. We were very busy canvassing the town with Christmas cards and prac- ticing for our play, but we managed, with the help of Miss Elliott, Mr. Jensen, and Mr. Hungerford, to produce Plain Jane on schedule November the twenty-first. It was proven to be a great success. We also sold two hundred and seventy four boxes of Christrnas cards. We did not rest, however, when this was accomplished our next objective was our year- book, that was going to press in March and our bake sale in the month of February. On March tenth we sponsored an ice-cream social to help finance our Senior trip. For our Senior trip we chose a three day excursion to Mackinac Island aboard the S. S. Greater Detroit. On Friday, May 28, we drove to Chicago, where we boarded the ship to begin our three day cruise. The following day we arrived at Mackinac Island and had the afternoon to spend exploring the many points of interest. That night aboard the ship, there was dancing by moonlight, amateur shows, and other forms of entertainrnent. Sunday morning found us back in Chicago with the afternoon off to spend in sight-seeing there. Our Baccalaureate excercises were held Sunday, May 23, 1948, and our diplomas were issued to us Thursday, May 27, at the Hudson Memorial Building. And so ended our happy carefree days of high school, but just beginning, was the ad- ventures of our life ahead.
