Seniors Back row: Jim Neubauer. l.aura Hanson. Cathy Revore, and Nancy Moyle. From row: Mr. Cretsinger. Victor Wolff, and Mr. Williams. The Class of '78 landed in high school in the fall of 1974. We came in as most Freshmen, a bit nervous, scared of the new environment, yet full of energy. We started out to set the world on fire, but ended up getting singed when our Homecoming float crawled into fourth place. It was called “Cave 'em In. starring George Sanchez and George Hayward. We elected four courageous people to lead us through that perilous year: President — Gail Eberly. Vice-President — Pauline Saunders, Secretary Nancy Moyle, and Treasurer — Jan Brant. Mr. Hamilton reluctantly relented to be our sponsor that year, and we wish to thank him for his efforts. Summer came and went, and we again found ourselves wandering aimlessly through the halls of M.H.S. However. we were Sophomores and were suddenly older and wiser. We managed to elect four new officers: President — Vic Wolff. Vice President — Terri Wolthuis. Secretary — Cathy Revore. and Treasurer — Brenda Saidla. Mr. Grosser was our sponsor, lending support during our trials and tribulations. The big event of the year. Homecoming, was a bit more glamorous than the previous year. Our “Blast ’Em creation won second place in float competition. Throughout the year we improved our financial status and finally got out of debt. This set the pace for our glorious Junior year. As Juniors, we improved our attitude and became more responsible. Our Homecoming float. “Mirror, mirror on the wall. . . . designed by Jerry Cox. topped the field. We then set a new school record in magazine sales, beating the Class of 1977 by about $500. Leadership for this busy year was provided by President — Vic Wolff. Vice President — Sue Yonkers. Secretary — Leslie Dearth, Treasurer — Cathy Revore, and Trustees — Sue Johnson and Jim Neubauer. Mr. Cretsinger and Mr. Williams emerged as our sponsors, advisors, and friends. In the spring, we closed our Junior year by sponsoring the social event of the season, the Prom. This unforgettable Prom was held at Western Michigan University's Ball Room, and the theme was Images of Youth. The Prom committee worked long and hard to make Prom '77 the best ever. Our Senior year finally began. We elected the following officers for our final year: President — Vic Wolff (sound familiar?). Vice President — Jim Neubauer. Secretary — Sue Yonkers, Treasurer — Cathy Revore, and Trustees -Laura Hanson and Nancy Moyle. Mr. Cretsinger and Mr. Williams stuck by us as advisors through thick and thin. Our Homecoming float once again reigned victorious: “Jaws” destroyed all the other contenders. Class ranking revealed Dagmar Heib and Sue Ellis as academic leaders. Laura Hanson was chosen D.A.R. Good Citizen. Many individuals shined in their various fields, but unfortunately they can not all be acknowledged here. We would like to extend thanks to everyone who helped make our high school experience as enjoyable and profitable as possible. A very special thanks to Mr. Cretsinger and Mr. Williams for their exceptional patience and attempts to pour us all into the mold of success.
