SENIORS OF 1942 COMPLETE THEIR HIGH SCHOOL TRAINING WITH FLYING COLORS ONLY Too SOON CAME the first morning in Marion High School for us Qwhich we all remember rather sorrowfullyj. There were so many teachers, rooms, and classes. Too, there were the mighty upperclassmen, whose good graces we all sought. After being trampled over somewhat, we resigned ourselves to being greenies,' for a year, but not until we had elected as our class officers, respectively-Merrel Coflin, president, Maud Scherer, vice-presidentg Patricia Camp and Rebecca Gallion, co- secretariesg and Peggy Goebel, treasurer. The outstanding event in our sophomore memories is the class party. At the 'lEoolish Fiesta, everyone had a wonderful time dancing or playing games. Merrel Coffin, elected Don Juan by the girls in the Sopho- more class, reigned during the evening. In the Easter Parade, the class was represented by Deanie Jeffrey, Jane Landrum, and Re- becca Gallion as attendants to the queen. Came 1941 when we were full-fledged Juniors, we proceeded at once to select these students as our leaders: Roy Vogel, presi- dent, Maud Scherer, vice-president, Barb- ara Merritt, secretaryg and Lynn Buchanan, treasurer. Merrel Coflin was chosen to rep- resent the class as the Junior member of the Cactus board. Outstanding events during the Junior year were the Sadie Hawkins Day, and the Junior Prom, which was held in May. The class elected Lynn Buchanan as Prom Queen. She was crowned by the class presi- dent, Roy Vogel. The successful Junior candidates for Easter Parade attendants were Jane Land- rum, Deanie Jeffrey, and Donna Coffman. After some cramming, over 250 persons survived the first two years, and we then were far advanced along the well-known road of education. Ours was a class that promised to be outstanding from the first with these officers: Jack Kightlinger, presi- dent, Phil Trostel, vice-president, Rebecca Gallion, secretary, and Elizabeth Jensen, treasurer. Miss Gladys Lewis served as class sponsor. Maud Scherer was chosen as the editor-in-chief of the yearbook, the Cactus, which the Senior class of 1942 was to pub- lish. True to tradition, another Cactus Erolic was held at Memorial Coliseum in order to furnish funds for this book. The Senior party was given the appro- priate title, The Heartbeat Hopf, where the King and Queen of Hearts, Bud Laven- good and Deanie Jeffrey, elected by members of the senior class, reigned in their House of Love.',
