The Ropes Of The Past ICont'd1 three of our thirty members dropped out, and one moved to another school, thus, leaving us twenty-six members for the remainder of the year. One day at the very beginning of the year we were quite excited because our symbol of unity , the class rings, had arrived. Of course we were quite proud as everybody said, My, how pretty they are! During the year we sold refreshments at the basketball games and in the noon hour to increase our class treasury. In November the Seniors entertained us with the annual game supper, after which they took us to the theater in Bowling Green. We all enjoyed the evening very much and appreciated the efforts of the Senior Class. ln May after many hours of practice, we gave our first play, Almost Summer , which was very successful. In return for the Game Supper, we gave the Seniors a Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Much interest was mani- fested in the Banquet and Prom, and it certainly met all expectations. This year, again, our class was quite outstanding in athletics especially intramural basketball. Both the girls and the boys won first place in the class tournament. A few of us had the honor of serving on the McClurean staff as assistant editors. We took part in many activities this year such as the following: sports, F.H.A., musical organization, Latin Club, G.A.A., Prince of Peace Con- test, and student council. Exams over, the usual number of flunkers and quitters and we are Seniors. Twenty-five grand old seniors came back to the dear old M.H.S. to finish their last year. As our officers we elected: President, Virginia Johnson, Vice President, Jane Alspaugh, Sec- retary, Georgean Titusg Treasurer, LaVonda Reimund, Historian, Marilyn Jennings, News Re- porter, Donna Shaffer and Advisor, Mr. Neiderhiser. We started our year by working on our McClurean and we hope to have a good publication. We also chose our school paper staff and have already published a number of issues of the Indian Legends . We have a good start and hope to carry on as well throughout the year. On November ninth we pre- sented our class play Papa Says No! Although it took many hours of practice, it was a big hit and we had a good time along with the work. We gave the Juniors a Game Sup- per November twenty-eighth. We only hope they enioyed it as much as we enioyed plan- ning it for them. We are now looking forward to a grand Junior-Senior Banquet in May. Many of our boys played on the basketball teams this year and although our school wasn't very successful our players were always good sports. We had our Senior pictures taken in October and have received the outcome. Most of us were quite well satisfied. POSTLUDE Now we are looking forward to Baccalaureate, May fourteenth and Commencement, gladness or sadness , a three day trip on a May nineteenth, either with this year. We are planning traveling on the Great Lakes one of the highlights of our anticipation. those others behind the To all our teachers and sincere thankfulness for everything they have done to education.

In a days we shall see that it was then that we laid the foundation upon which we will rear our structure of fame and fortune. Shall we fail? No, we shall not fail. With our motto With the ropes of the past, we will ring the bells of the future, ever before us, we shall hurl aside all obstacles that lie in the way of true happiness and reach our ideal -success in noble living.
