We can all remember the first day of our f shman year when 72 freshmen assembled to begin the first of four years of high school. W, were evenly divided with 36 girls and 36 boys To lead us this year, we chose as President, Jim y Davis, Vice President, John Coyner, Secretarv Bill Johnson, Treasurer, Lee White, Reporter, Bo. Mace, and Cheerleaders, Betty Landis and Alma Pennybacker. As sponsors we had Miss Moore and Mr. S naberry. Everyone was nice to us that year. Most of us still remember the delightful party the sophomores gave us on October 18. But. of course, who could forget the initiation!!!!! But, all in all, one of the most memorable o Were WE important? I remember the seniors T KNEW we were important; and that M. H. S. cou when we looked at our scholastic standings, we s’ between faculty and students concerning our stat spirit of the thing. Some students participated i other extra curricular activities. We were under t Anderson. This year, we chose for President, Le tary, Jim Davis, Treasurer, ..John Coyner, Report and Pat McNeill. our years in high school was our second one. OUGHT they were important, but we sophomores In’t get along without us. Sometimes, though, pected that there might be a difference of opinion This was the year we really entered into the athletics, others were active in club work, and e guidance this year of Mrs. Moore and Mr. White, Vice-president, Rose Ellen Kellison, Secre- ”, Bobby Dean, and cheerleaders, Betty Landis is year it was our turn to initiate the in oming Freshmen and we made the best of it. We parted that spring with a smile and plans for the next year. Yes, how dear old M. H. S. could have survived without us during our sophomore year is debatable. One of the most progressive years we had w is when we were Juniors. As Juniors we had been in high school long enough to know our w y around. We had become well versed in the traditions of the school and had acquired a seme of responsibility toward maintaining these tradi- tions. By this time we had reduced the big head dness of our sophomore year to about normal AT ' cu m T- T 6 he CrCam ° f the Cr ° p - We ACCOMPLISHED things. Mrs. Reynolds and Miss Shinier advised our group this year, which numbered 61 and to lead us we elected as Presi- dent, Lee White, Vice-president, Jim Davis, Secretary, Barbara Moses, Treasurer, Alma Pennv- backer, Reporter, Arlo Alderman, and Cheerleaders, Pat McNeill, Betty Landis, and Alma Pennv- backer. This year we entertained the Seniors with a banquet and the Junior cast presented the annual Junior Play to the student body and patrons. Realizing that education is not acquired from the printed page alone, some of our members participated in various athletic, scholastic, and religious programs, thus bringing recongnition to our class for their endeavor in these fields. Standing at the gateway to our Senior year, we were impressing the underclassmen with an ex¬ aggerated picture of our importance, fn truth, we were just beginning to realize the value of our education in its’ relationship to our future. We feel, after having spent 4 years in attaining our goal, we are standing on the threshold of another challenge. Only if we have spent our four yea rs preparation profitably can we meet this challenge: “If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.” This sobering thought emphasizes the importance of our educational advancement.
