They did not know that she was going to be the good-looking, intelligent, and pros- perous young lass which she is today. Pearl does very well in all her studies. But you very seldom hear anything about her and the opposite sex. She intends to go to Business College in which we are sure she will be a success. We give you all the luck and happiness, Pearl. ROBERT CLINTON WAGNER Bob Hey, Fellows . VVhen Bob's dad discovered him in the grocery basket one evening, he was pleasantly surprised as they all were. Bob is now a good student, and an appreciated classmate. His main interest in the feminine line varies rather often but some day it will become tixed, and Bob shall have a very happy future. .

Q61 van f! X - IN ! l l BETTY ARLENE SMITH l Lene Like The Dickens Smiths received an unexpected but welcome Christmas gift when Santa left Lene there. Although she is fond of talking and giggling, her grades don't suffer. Lene is planning to take a business course, and we're sure that she'll make a fine and capable secre- tary. We're plugging for you, Lene. ROY DANIEL SWANGER Swanger No Stuff Another greatly talented and intelligent mem- ber of our class is Roy. His grades are always of the highest, and his musical ability is well-known. As the president of our class, he has proved himself to be an able leader. With his Little girl as co-partner, we are sure of his future being happy and successful. GERALD ELLSVVORTH KNEPP Gus,' Ah, You Don't Say. When Knepps discovered the blue-blanketed bundle on their door steps, they opened it to un- cover this blond-haired, blue-eyed boy named Gerald. He grew up to be a good student, and a well-liked member of our class. He is both attractive and greatly attracted to the members of the feminine sex, but has-as far as we know-made no definite choice. We donit know what his plans for the future are, but he will find it pleasing-if our hopes mean anything. JUNE ESTHER LUCILLE KNEPP Chime That's What You Think June is our farmer girl, and always ready to do her best when there is a task to be done. Since June has been in our class for only four years, we wonder how we did without her before that. Her main interest is in an ex-soldier and he'll he asking her to be his wife soon, we're sure. The best wishes of the class are yours, June. THE M H S 1946 CANDLEBEAM Page Eight

x'f -O.. f van 7 X -4- IN Class i-lisfo '46 Came the fall of 1934 and once more the annual invitation of the school bell rang out clearly over the countryside. This particular year the ambitious boys and girls immediately unified their energies for the success of the class of 1946, which was formed by their first meeting. Setting our aims and goals high, we plunged into the twelve year race which. if run successfully, would result in our receiving a very valuable price, EDUCATION. Setting a fast pace, we progressed rapidly and at the end of eight years we had successfullv cleared such hurdles as decimals, punctuation, and colon- ization. We proved this fact at the close of our eighth year by the remarkable manner in which we passed the High School Entrance Examination. So we looked forward eagerly to the next term when we should enter high school and begin the last leg of our long race. After waiting impatiently during the vacation for the school bell, it finally rang and off we started in grand style. VVe were fortunate indeed in having Mr. Good to direct the class during our first year in this advanced stage of the race, where the obstacles were becoming larger and more difficult and numerous. During the second week of the term we elected the following officers: President, Roy Swangerg Vice President, Phyllis Klingerg Secretary, Gayle Ewingg Treasurer, Norman Kline, Historian, Cloyd Solt. Our first meeting was a corn roast held on a hill on the farm of Joe Richard. It was later in this term that we picked the pink rose as our class fiower and maroon and white as our class colors. We also chose Semper Fidelis as our class motto. In crossing a hurdle named Initiation we lost a great part of our dignity plus our shoes and stockings. However, we took all the Seniors could offer in such a way that even they called us good sports. Having lost our green complexion during our Freshman year, we faced our second year in M.H.S. with much more confidence and poise. During the Sophomore year our officers were as follows: President, Gayle Ewing, Vice President, Roy Swangerg Secretary, Pearl VVagner3 Treasurer, John Hass- ingerg Historian, Cloyd Solt. Our activities during this year were concerned largely with the establishment of a larger banking account. This was done very successfully under the direction of Miss Musser. She proved a very capable advisor and we enjoyed great success in all our undertakings. The class began its Junior year with eighteen members. The class officers were unchanged except that Silas Dillman was entrusted with our finances and Charles Bingaman was chosen to make the history of our activi- ties. On Nov. 13th of this term the present Senior Class Quartette consisting of Charles Bingaman, Gerald Knepp, Norman Kline, and Roy Swanger, had its beginning. Since then it has developed into the outstanding musical attrac- tion of its kind in this region and our class is truly proud of its achievements. Our outstanding achievement as Juniors was the Junior Prom into which we put a great deal of effort. We were determined to make a hit with this party and under the direction of Mr. VVeader it turned out to be a very gala affair. Everyone departed after spending a delightful evening and the Seniors agreed that they were leaving M.H.S. in very capable hands. As we began our Senior year our class had decreased to 14 members but our lack of number was compensated for in spirit. Our class officers for the Final year were: President, Roy Swangerg Vice President, Norman Kline, Sqecretary, Gayle Ewing, Treasurer, Charles Bingaman, Historian, Gerald nepp. THE MHS 1946 CANDLEBEAM - Page Ten
