Hislnrg Early in September of the year 1940 A. D.. forty-six bewildered looking youngsters enrolled in M. C. H. S. as Freshmen. Following the example of the upper-classmen. they soon elected Doyt Romines, Jimmy Weldon. Wanda Richart. and Don Swope as class officers. and Miss Fisher and Mr. Bennett as sponsors. ln September of 1941 these same youngsters came again, to enroll this time as Sophomores. They now seemed very sure of themselves and looked con- descendingly upon the new crop of Freshmen. This year Max Daugherty, Letha Belle McFarland, Carroll Shade, and Wilma Miller were class officers. and Mrs. Galbreath and Mr. Case acted as sponsors. Philip Hurtz dropped out. leaving forty-Hve. Three new members. Betty Rose Hutchens. Durward Roten, and Harlene Kannmacher, entered the class in 1942. Under the guidance of officers Patricia Cunningham. Max Sweet, Jimmy Weldon, and Clayton Hammond and spon- sors. Miss Saiter and Mr. Boyer. the class finances flourished. A picked cast presented Everybody's Crazy, and the Junior Carnival was the best that had been held in years. Early in May the class entertained the Seniors to a Junior- Senior banquet. Another school year has rolled around and now they are seniors with four new additions to the class--Gayle Medsker. Roselyn Meloy, Lois Thompson, and Billy Moore. Officers this year are Janell Greenwell, Carroll Shade. Clay- ton Hammond, and Merlin Stanfield. with Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. l.aFief as sponsors. Early in the year Willard Thornburgh was called to the Army. Dale Wilson dropped out and Laritta Reed embarked upon the A'Stormy Sea of Matrimony. The Senior play The Antics of Andrew was well pre- sented before a large audience, and the class then settled down to work on the 1944 Blue Streak, its most noteworthy achievement. This year they will be the guests of honor at the Junior-Senior banquet, and Senior week will mark the end of their journey together, 7h 1044 mia- sfmik 1
