CLASS HISTURY UF1945 At last that long anticipated year of nineteen hundred and forty-five arrived-our year. But our class began some years back in the ninth grade, That was the year that we really began to know each other and as the year progressed, we began to do things together, We elected Bobbie Ginter and Willard Shaw as our co-presidents to guide our wayward steps throughout the year. We also had a hand in the operetta, The Gypsy Troubador, the one acts, the spring play, Sing a Song of Sixteen, and practically all of us enjoyed Curtain Raisers. Even then athletics was a main spring in the school activities and we left Iunior High with an undefeated, untied, and unscored- upon football record. Then on to the mystery of the reknowned Senior High! Although we were very green We were Well represented in the plays, athletics, and Rose Window, and we enjoyed the Weekly Pebbles. Both of these latter features were later stopped due to the war. Gaining more importance as the year rolled on, we became juniors and elected Willard Shaw, president: Darrell Dunham, vice-president: and Mildred Pell, sec.-treasurer. Aided by our class sponsor Coach Kenneth Cook, we raised money for the Iunior-Senior Reception by selling tickets to the all-school play, The Fighting Littles. Due to floods we were forced to hold our prom at the Coliseum Where it proved successful in spite of the watery difficulties. Again our athletes helped to win many victories which brought about an undefeated football record and made M. H. S. winner of the Central Iowa Conference. But time goes on and soon we were the seniors. To lead us through the future year we elected Dave Meltvedt, president: Stan Olson, vice-president, and Betty Smith, sec-treas- urer: and Willard Shaw, president of the Student Senate. The dramatic club, The Mask and Dagger was organized and again we participated in plays and musicals. Bobbie Ginter reigned as Homecoming Queen and the football season ended in glorious victory. Then came basketball and our team won the Central Iowa Conference. Yes, the Bobcats will always be remembered. Then came the rush! Senior pictures, announcements, the class project, the Iunior-Senior Reception, the Senior Assembly, and all the rest of the busy activi- ties that seniors look forward to, On the evening of May 20 at the First Methodist Church, Baccalaureate services were held and Bev. Pieter Smit gave the address. Then, on May 24, 1945 with Dr. C. C. Bacon of the Methodist Church in Des Moines to give the graduates a parting thought, 161 students received their diplomas.
