But yet it doesn't seem possible, although true. lt seems only yes- terday we were green Freshmen, backward but eager to learn the ways of M. T. H. S. In ad- dition to our regular line of subjects during our Freshman year, many of us filled the remainder of our schedule with such activities as basketball, football, dramatics and music. Initiation was a gala event, we Freshmen being slaves on a galley ship. Up the next step of the ladder, to our Sopho- more year. The big event of that year was Fresh-Soph. play, Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The annual magazine campaign netted money to our treasure even though we did not win the con- test. The year 1949-1950, we have climbed another step on the ladder of education. Now we stand for the Almighty Juniors. We ar1Xi0uSly awaited the arrival of our long-awaited class rings. The poor fellows didn't wear theirs long but were seen on the fingers of the girls. One thing we can say for ourselves is that we worked hard our Junior year sponsoring skating parties, card parties, and the great success, the Junior play, Great Caesar's Ghost . We'll never forget that, will we kids? The money derived from these activities helped pay for the cost of the Reception given for the Seniors in the spring. That proved a barrel of fun also. We felt privileged that year being able to attend the Prom. Now as we recall the final year in complet- ing our high school education and having climbed the ladder, we wish we were still in school hav- ing fun like presenting the Senior Play The Big Blow-Up , getting dressed up in our best bib and tucker for Senior pictures, working on annual and school paper, going to dances and any other form of fun and amusement. No, these days spent in M. T. H. S. will never be forgotten by any of the graduating class of '5I. A few links in our chain of friendship during our four years have broken away. These students ares Floyd McCabe, Alvin Grieff, Dale Prindi- ville, Mary Ellen Gittings, Emma Hintze, Clyde Glenn, Helen McCormack, Anna Marie Struthers, Betty Babcock, Donald Underhill, and Gene West. But on the other hand we have added two links, Dick White and Rita Coughlin. 10 . . . . Roberta Hopkins . . . Margy Viner CLASS POE The end of our school life is passing so fast, Before we know it, it's all flown past. So let's sit for a minute and our classmates review, Their characters, their humors, quite mighty, though few. First Melva Benson, so quiet, so calm, For one with the blues, her jokes are a balm. So agile, so witty, so wide awake, Describes the person of Margie Blake. Then, Barbara Carey, always so gay, Small, but lively, the live-long day. Rita Coughlin, who is slender and tall, A born comedian, her laugh is not small. Now, Virgil Funk, who is a farm boy at heart, if a job's to be done, count on him from the start. Walter Glenn, an ambitious, outstanding boy, His role in athletics makes him the school's joy. Arden Hill, good-natured and loud, Wherever he goes, he collects a crowd. She's tall, she's pretty and always dependable, Roberta Hopkins is by no means, expendable. Howard Hyslop, old boy, you're next in the line, With your quiet ambition, we think you're just fine. Now for a boy who is really a peach, Good-natured, quick-witted, that's Donald Leach. Louise Long, a studious and jovial girl, To all her classmates she's really a pearl. So shy, so humble, a fine little worker, Jerry McCarthy is positively no shirker. For her brain and her charm, Myrtle Myers we all treasurer, Her athletic skill runs beyond any measure. Katherine Olson, kind-mannered, her voice and her smile Will live in our hearts, for quite a long while. LeRoy Ryan has, intelligence many do crave, And when a job comes in view, he is its slave. Easy going, athletic, Stan Schoen's very good Whatever his goal, reach beyond it he could. Petite Myrtle Stitt, with a trunkful of brains, When task is begun, it's perfection she gains. Dick White with his comical, laughing way, In later life, may have the devil to pay. She has'the brains, she's really a honey, Little Margy Viner is a girl for our money. Eleanor's personality matches her hair, Both gleam sunny and lasting far from care. Now to her companion piece, whose name is Jack Wray, He always has a smile or something funny to say. In American History, Walt Zingre's a whiz. He really shines when given a quiz.. Now you've met the class oi '51, Who always finish what they've begun. In later life we can look back and see, How truly wonderful friendship can be. We've had our troubles: We've had our fun: We've worked as a team, together as one. In a very short time, we'll pas through the door, The roads we travel, to cross no more. CLASS WILL We, the senior class of 1951, being of sound mind and senile body, do hereby declare our Last Will and Testament, thereby nullifying all previous wills. To the juniors we leave all the trials and tribulations we encountered in our senior year. To the sophomores we leave Mr. Kinman's tests. The freshmen we gladly leave. We also leave the following items: Rita Coughlin - her daily trip uptown to Dorothy Darling. Barbara Carey - her seat in study hall Qwhich she's never inj to Janet Bounds. Roberta Hopkins - her poetry to Ellen Davies. Margie Blake - her athletic ability to Marion Troxel. Arden Hill - his cautious driving to Dale Helling. Margy Viner - her sense of humor to Evelyn Baker and Ron- ald Benson. Myrtle Stitt - her scholastic ability to Ellen Bell. Louise Long - her ambition to Mary Briner. Virgil Funk - his seat on the bus to Gene Anderson and Juan- ita Jenkins. Melva Benson - her love for school to Jewell Wolfe. Myrtle Myers - her bookkeeping skill to Geneva Long. Katherine Olson - her anxiety for 3:37 to roll around to Pat Strum. Eleanoar Wray - her ability to get along with Mr. Feinne to Janet Bounds and Virginia Leach. Jack Wray - his ability to call signals to Mat Holmes. Walter Zingre - his wide awakeness to Pat Close. Stan Schoen - his interest in English to Lois Elam and John Snyder. Walter Glenn - his dramatic ability to Warren Wilkinson. LeRoy Ryan - his hair oil to Dick Sette. Howard Hyslop - his mechanical drawing ability to Jeanette Spandet. Dick White - his nonchalance to Mary Ellen Lee. Donald Leach - his report card to Pat Gilbert. Jerry McCarthy -,her saying, Isn't that funny? to Irene Greiff. In witness to the above we bus drivers hereunto set our hand and affix our seal. Don Foster Vic Laase Austin Isham 12 CLASS PROPH ECY This evening, I am broadcasting over WRAY on a hundred and eight- y motorcycles, here in the luxurious surroundings in the fabulous Hotel Waldorf Astoria. It is the twentieth reunion of the 1951 Senior Class. The year is 1971, and I am here to receive the guests as they arrive. Our first guest to arrive is Marge Viner. This name is now familiar to all, as the signature has appeared on the one dollar bills. We always knew that Marge would go places in offices. The next to arrive is that new vaudeville sensation, Marge Blake. She is famous for putting T. V. on its feet by staying off hers. The hat girl bats her eyes and smiles as she sees that new paramount star, Walter Glenn, who is now starring in Gone With The Toe. Suddenly I find myself staring into a bright belt buckle. As I look up the towering form, I see the smiling face of Stan Schoen who has set the world down long enough to come to our reunion. And now I see two of our class- mates -- LeRoy Ryan, a famed narrator and news broadcaster, discussing the new poison politics affair with our globe trotting re- porter, Barbara Carey. Entering now, in a long silver gown and with long glamorous hair, and boasting a good, long standing social record is Louise Long. Walking in now in full opera dress with her glasses on a stick and humming Chopin's When My Big Daddy Comes Home, is that wonderful personality, Eleanora Wray. I hear the gentlemen sigh as they see entering that world re- nowned leader of the Feminine Fiddle F1appers orchestra, Ro- berta Hopkins. Our new dancing star, Melva Benson, promenades in to the tune of Beat Me Daddy Right to the Bar. Who is that? Why! It's that popular T. V. dramatist, Katherine Olsen. I see now that successful engi- neer, Dick White, who has just completed laying a plank across the Johnny Run. We are honored by that new gracious song and dance team, Rita Coughlin and Walter Zingre. I see we are .honored by that re- nowned mechanical engineer, Ho- ward Hyslop. Next to the punch bowl stands a hugh pair of western boots cover- ed by a ten gallon hat. Somewhere beneath the hat and in the boots is Virgil Funk, that western sheep raiser. That brown eyed little girl running here and there with pad and pencil is Jerry McCarthy, the only secretary that can take a let- ter, seal it, address it, and run down thirty-five flights of stairs and mail it before her boss gets through saying Sincerely yours. I see that the Dean of Women at Barely Normal College, Myrtle Stitt, is here with us tonight. Myrtle Myers, the first woman pilot to fly down State Street in a C-47 without running through a red light, is here. I see now that the gathering is complete as in walks Arden Hill, last but by no means least, as he has accomplished what millions have tried -- complete and unin- terrupted relaxation twenty-four hours a day. One of our students has become a success as an efficiency expert. You all know I'm talking of Donald Leach who has a fine job that pays 5500 a month with a six month vacation twice a year. If this isn't efficiency, I don't know what is. Well, the guests are milling around, laughing and talking of old times. Our time is up so I'll have to turn you over to the restful music of Jack's Junky Jute Box put on by Plunkets Pink Pills for pale or purple people. 1 i Xxx. N X . t TF ?

Several weeks later we were for- mally initiated. During the year we participated in the Freshmen and Sophomore play, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. At the end of the year we had lost Harvey Jenkins, Stella Sanchez, Warren Grieff, and Donald Sennott. In our Sophomore year we had two new pupils in our class, Viola Halterman and Mary Ann Galanis. We worked that year on the return 15 party and in the cloak room at the prom. At the end of the year we had lost several pupils. They were Viola Halterman, Mary Ann Galanis, Jearme Nelson, Ted Hebner, Beverly West, Jim Hammen, Dorothy War- wick, Tarry Kingman, and Ralph Gebhardt. At the beginning of our third year as Juniors we had three new pupils, Matt Holmes, John Snyder, and Pat Gilbert. We look forward to the Junior Play and Reception. i f wukie , Ame f ui' -an Q N , A f- , .. far . da' 9 x N Ooh, La Lal I x H Little Miss Charming Posture, please l ,V in i I For Fire Only Flying Saucers Bombs Away J '!'Ffz R Pals Fa-rm Gal The Old Gang 1 r .,,, I , Q K 1 , f ehe an The Philosopher and the Homemaker Spider The Littlest Angel 4 IN MEMORIAM He is not dead - this friend - not dead, But in the path we mortals tread Got some few trifling steps ahead, And nearer to the endg So that you, too, once past the bend, Shall meet again, as face to face, this friend You fancy dead.

Miss Probst When the present Sophomores started school August 2.9, 1949, there were twenty-seven trembling Freshmen. We settled down and thought we were well under way, but on Octo- ber 6, one of the upper classmen stepped into the room and gave us a list of proceedings for the follow- ing day. This was D day! The Freshmen came dressed up looking very different. This ordeal proved to our fe.llow schoolmates that we were good sports and high spirited Freshmen. On the 27th of October the un- derclassmen gave a return party foir the Juniors and Seniors. The Sophomores entertained while the Freshmen were in charge of food. When school again took up at M, T. H. S. in 1950, there were twenty-eight pupils in the class of '53. The fluctuation in enrollment was due to the moving of Miriam Holmes and Jim Waller into our community and also the untimely death of Dick Male, a leader in the class. November 8, found almost every- one from the school at Muffler's Roller Rink. What's the occasion? A sophomore skating party, invit- ing anyone and everyone. aw W ' ltd W xg + ' V1 ., i f: ' l C t h h' 7 Slugger! rr- 0 ue, u, Who's who? 115,47 lp Repair the camera 1 1 f' 'J .

The Freshrnen looked forward with dread to September which was the Fresh- man Frolic Party. We were all good sports and came dressed as the upper classmates had requested us to do. Dale DeGrush was judged as the best dressed girl and Joyce Coughlin as the best dressed 'DOY- As we look back on it now, it seems ve ry amusing. This class then showed their appreciation by a Return Party on . . . . Billie Strum . . . Dale DeGrush . . . Mr. Elander November 21 which made a huge success with the Sophomores, Jun- iors, and Seniors as guests.

The work of the Council is based on ideas that will improve our school. Problems are brought before the Council, discussed, and adapted to the different conditions that have caused them. The members assist the Faculty in building up a reasonable amount of student participation in our activi- ties. This way we are able to pro- mote a better understanding and a better relationship between the stu- dent body and faculty. GREAT CAESAR 'S GHOST This play, given by juniors in the spring of 1950, was centered around a ghost who was to to have been the ghost of Caesar, an Inca Chief of South America. One didn't know where the ghost would turn up next and commence pestering people. The audience was on the edge of their seats throughout the play and classified it on the list of being successful.

The plot centered around four suitcases which became mixed up. Another incident that brought about the plot was the fact that a gangster, Mugsy Morris, was lodging at the hotel and had disguised himself as an old lady. All turned out well with the gangster being caught and the bomb being disposed of. Ellen Parker . . . Beans Parker . . Katie Lee .... Terry King .... Mugsy Morris . . Cora Johnson . . Melinda .......

The Girls' Athletic Association this year has been participating in a variety of activities toward the earning of points for their state and school association awards. They started off by going bowling at Mor- ris. Transportation was provided by the girls in the organization who have a driver's license and by the parents. Another quite popular activity was our volley ball intramurals. It seemed even after eight weeks of this activity the girls were still willing to challenge and play during free hours. Our other extra ac- tivities were badminton, table ten- nis, basketball, and softball. The President ..... . . . Myrtle Myers Vice President . . . . Jeanette Spandet Secretary ..... . .

A. to attend a Play Day last fall and enjoyed a day of sports, fun, and fellowship with girls of their own age and similar interest in sports. The Yuletide Season was cel- ebrated by a combined party with the F. H, A. We sang familiar carols, had a gift exchange, and enjoyed delicious refreshments. The girls did a splendid job of initiating underclassmen at a com- bined Mother-Daughter affair. Y -was Q How does the world look upside down, Pat? Watch the birdie, gals.
