: . F! ll,- 8 New Record Cut for '49 f '50 As commencement brought about the end of the '48-'49 school year, everyone welcomed the summer vacation, and few were the thoughts of the next school year. But, as always, the doors opened again on September 7, 1949, and through the halls poured students. With the opening of school came the selling of books, the schedule confabs with Mr. Kurtz, and football pep sessions. A little later pictures were taken for the yearbook. The students were by then really settled down for school work, and the lunch hour was the only real break of the day. The new kitchen was finished and the home ec. and cafeteria classes enjoyed its many conveniences. Yuletide meant the decorating of the trees, painting the Christ- mas mural in the front hall, and the winter formal dance. The new year brought many events as college day, the sectional and regional tourneys, district and state band and orchestra contest. After spring vacation came the 1950 prom and senior activities for another class that had passed through MHS's halls for the last time. Lana Gose and Betty Pearson returned to school this fall with apparent enthusiasm . . . Bob Walters and Jack St. John discuss a schedule conflict with Principal Kurtz . . .
