3 making Twenty anxious little tots were brought to the doors of old and battered M. H. S. in 1937, not realizing what we were getting in- to. With the kind guidance of Miss Irene Bruns, we endured the first year. Miss Evelyn Peery took over Miss Bruns iob for our second year. The class consisted of the original twenty. ln our third year, our class increased to twenty-four. We were still under the super- vision of Miss Peery. At the beginning of our fourth school year, we lost four of our classmates. Our class was divided with seven members in Mrs. Bohling's room and thirteen in Mrs. Wulff's room. During the year Anna Lou Bliss and Virginia Adams moved away leav- ing us with eighteen members. Our class was divided in our fifth year between Miss Welsh and Miss Sockman. Maurice Dull came at the beginning of the year making the total nineteen. Mrs. Helen Travis took us for our sixth year. The class number remaining nineteen. On entering the seventh grade, we were invited down stairs with The High School Classes. Miss Hibler helped all twenty of us settle down after making this important change. Mrs. Bokerman was our teacher for our eighth year. Our class then consisted of nine- teen members. Nineteen Green Freshmen started on the long journey in 1945. We elected the fol- lowing officers for the year: President, Melva Booth, Vice-President, Maurice Dull, Secretary, Frank Weaks, Treasurer, Jim Good, and Class Sponsor, Mr. Middleton. During the year Joy L. Crom, Rosemary Henninger, Sheldon Pres- ton, and Frank Weaks ioined our class. James Naveau left. We were initiated by the Sopho- mores on October 12, and gave them a re- turn party soon afterwards. As Sophomores we started with twenty- two members. We chose as our class officers: President, Charles Shepard, Vice-President, Paul Richards, Secretary, Joy Crom, Treasurer, Naomi Farison, and Class Sponsor, Mrs. Mc- Clure. We initiated the Freshmen, and be- cause they were so grateful, they gave us a return party. With the goal of a successful school year in mind, our class of seventeen elected Doris Jean Fryman as President, Naomi Farison as Vice-President, Betty Wagner as Secretary, Paul Richard as Treasurer, Doris Jean Jennings as News Reporter, and Miss Hatcher as our Class Advisor. During the year Virginia Adams left. By selling refreshments at the basketball games and subscriptions for maga- zines, we increased our treasury a little. On April 30, we presented a three-act play, The Adorable Age under the direction of Miss Hatcher. The Seniors gave us the game sup- per on November 18. To return the honor we gave them the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 14. We entered the last and best year, our Senior year, with sixteen members. We elected for class leaders the following: Naomi Fari- son, President, Paul Richard, Vice-President, Betty Wagner, Secretary, Melva Booth, Treas- urer, Doris Jean Fryman, News Reporter, and Mr. Neiderhiser, Class Sponsor. On October 22, we presented the Senior Class Play, Take Your Medicine. We gave the Juniors the game supper on November 17. They are now planning to give us the Junior-Senior Banquet sometime in May. This Class of '49 has taken part in sports, music, scholarship tests, and other activities throughout our high school years.
