As the year draws to a close, Patty Quaken- bush, Norman Marshall, and Carmella Cascian reminisce over fond memories of their years in M.H.S. With the end of the year, payment of myriad fees and costs, the hustle and bustle of graduation, and the signing of release slips also came to the seniors. ITIMFo brings chance for leadership Four years ago, about 170 freshmen entered the halls of M.H.S. There was nothing particularly distinctive about them; they were just another bunch of freshmen to be quelled and brought under the authority of the seniors. In 1951 about 120 of those freshmen had risen to the rank of seniors and now ruled instead of being ruled. Along the way they had acquired the characteristics which distinguish seniors from underclassmen: exemplary conduct, sparkling personality, and outstanding scholarship. To the senior class officers fell the tasks of selecting commence¬ ment announcements, appointing committees for senior week, and leading the processional at bacca¬ laureate. Chosen by the seniors to perform these duties were Pat Ennis, treasurer; Marilyn McDan¬ iel, secretary; Jack Cragen, presi¬ dent; Carolyn Godsey, vice-presi¬ dent. 18

The Class of ’51 remembers their first act of importance to have been the junior class play, “Seventeen Is Terrific.” The members of the cast were, left to right: Jim Cragen, Mary Ellen Hammans, Marilyn Bennett, Har¬ riet Gregory, Barbara Anderson, Margaret Van Winkle, Phil Dunn, Patsy Ayres, Bailey Davis, Gerald Holmes, Bill Pauley and Anne Long. to seniors of 1951 Jackie Selburg, after due process of beauti¬ fication, is seated properly by Mr. Theodore McReynolds, in preparation for the business of shooting her senior picture. Half-time at a basketball game means a sudden rush of thirsty and hungry coke-and- hotdog consumers, who deluge these senior class members with their cries. Oliver P. Morton probably never spent a day like the one during which the seniors ravaged and roamed over the “Legislature City.” Here Larry Moore, Don Robinson, Max Pearcy, and Phil Dunn take advantage of the photographic possibilities of the statue.
