In 1937 we were forty-two Freshmen wandering through the halls of M. C. H. S. Glen Shade, Dale Hutchens, Virginia Wright, and Bill Downey were elected class officers. Miss Balmer and Mr. Reifsteck watched over us. In 1938 our ranks had thinned to thirty-seven members. Eleanor Atkins, Bob Ryan. Mary Hardway, and Bill Downey were oflicers, with Miss Gallatin and Mr. Easter as sponsors. In 1939, with the addition of Mary Munch and James Staniield, our en- rollment totaled thirty-nine. Roger Richey, Marjorie Ax, Faye Swope, and Phyllis Cunningham held office and Mrs. Galbreath and Mr. Powers were our advisers. We followed the usual Junior routine of giving a class play and a Junior and Senior Banquet. To top it all we staged the greatest Carnival ever known in M. C. H. S. In this year of 1940 we Seniors have numbered thirty-six. Mary Munch and Dale Hutchens left us before Christmas. Mrs. Galbreath directed Aunt Suzie Shoots the Works. The play was presented early in December. We were served at the Junior-Senior Banquet in May. The Senior Week activities included the principal's reception, a picnic at Turkey Run, a steak breakfast, baccalaureate at the Church of God, and com- mencement. Phyllis, Marjorie, Joan, Herbert, Miss Meier, and Mr. Hurst were the of- ficial family. MARY. The Blue Streak-Page eight
