sien aed Senior Class History.......... When we started out as the MHS ‘‘Green Freshies'' team in the fall of '46, thirty-six of us came to bat, Coach Leroy Brandt was in there pitching for us as we came safely to first base. Our Freshman year, the following team was elected: President, Jerry Elliot; Vice-President, Charles Crabtree; Secretary, Marjorie Leach; Treasurer, Patty Stoutenborough; Pep Committee representatives, Stanley Caplinger and Nancy Bolen; and Student Council representatives, Charles Crabtree and Rebecca Jennings, During this season Richard Lawler, Herbert Banning, Patricia Frank, Howard Kramer, Gloria Hambrecht, and Charles Reed left our team but Mary Ruth Ishmael and David Gardner came as substitutes. Like all beginners we had our troubles. We were sure the classrooms had been switched on us and our locker combinations changed. As we came to the second base of our career, Coach Brandt was again in the pitch- er’'s box. He did very well with our players who were: President, Rebecca Jennings; Vice-President, Nancy Bolen; Secretary, Marjorie Leach; and Treasurer Patty Stoutenborough. Our Pep Committee cheering for us was Janice Randall and John Agee. Sarah McCay and Stanley Caplinger sat in the scorekeeper’s box of the Student Council. ' Going around this curve we lost Jim and John Agee, Stanley Caplinger, Arnold King, Donald Wise, Charles Crabtree, Eugene Hensley, and Donald Hulsopple; but we headed for third base with Neil Cunningham, Bill McFarland, Sam McGee, Dick Tharp, and Dick Argo. ] ; U A Law — We we reached third base, Miss Rebecca Hughes took over as pitcher. With her help we elected the following to play for us: President, Dick Tharp; Vice-President, Nancy Bolen; Secretary, Marjorie Leach; and Treasurer, Patty Stoutenborough. This year our rooters were Jack Schwartz and Joan Warner. Rebecca Jennings and David Gardner were our team advisors on the Student Council. We lost Bill McFarland and Sam McGee. Margaret Liming and Joan Warner joined us. The high lights of the year were our play, ‘‘Small-Town Romeo”’, class rings, and the Junior-Senior banquet and prom, As we started toward home plate we once again elected a team to represent us: President, Dick Tharp; Vice-President, Gene Oldfield; Secretary, Marjorie Leach; and Treasurer, Patty Stoutenborough. Gene Oldfield and Janice Randall were on the Pep Committee. Nancy Bolen and David Gardner were sitting in the Student Council box and keeping our score, Our class float took third prize in the Homecoming parade. Now with twenty-eight of us coming into home plate, we have completed our tour around the diamond of high school life. 25
