Mr. Harbort's secre- taries, Mrs. Barbara Boettcher and Mrs. Jewel Ol- son, answered these questions and performed their duties efficiently and with a willingness to be of assistance which impressed all students. Downstairs in the superintendents office were Barbara Nelson and Eleanor Beattie. Although they were seldom seen by students of M.H.S. their jobs were vital to the smoothness in which our school system was run. Business manager, truant officer, and super- visor of the cafeteria were the triple jobs of Mr. Sherburn Libal.

JV N Remember racing through the woods with Jody and Flag, and hauling down the jib aboard the old l-lispanola? These are some of the memorable literary experiences we re- call from our study of English and English literature. By meeting l-luck Finn on his adventures, stalking the notorious Long John Silver and following Evangeline's pilgrimage in seventh and eighth grades, we began to read some of our first classics. Later, now knowing how to conjugate verbs and diagram sentences, we studied plays and the theater, confronting Abe Lincoln in Illinois and Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony in the Forum. Does David marry Dora? What are the characteristics of a good newspaper editorial? You said it was past perfect passive subjunc- tive? We found the answers to these questions in junior and senior English where we looked at the construction of a newspaper, completed our study of grammar and read more world and American literature. In recent years, we noticed parallels be- tween the history we found in literature and that which we had studied in our other classes, Also, the papers and themes which were re- quired in other classes were much easier to write after having studied procedures in Eng- lish. Thus, we have been able to apply know- ledge gained in our English classes to all other subjects and have realized the importance of the English department.
