The first eight years were not highlighted so much and are not so well remembered. The last four, however, were filled with many events and now we suddenly realize they are over. In the fall of 1938, thirty-two small fry entered high school feeling rather lost the first week or two. Then came the initiation by the dignified Seniors, which few of us' looked for- ward to and most of us dreadedg but the whole affair turned out surprisingly well. Tha: first year we organized our class with the following officers: Jimmie Had- dox, President, Margaret Borgelt, Vice President, Betty Engard, Secretary-Treasurer, and Earl Peneton, Reporter. We chose as our class colors, blue and silver, our fiowers, rose buds, and our motto,, Always lead, never follow . Remember our three parties that year? The first was held right after Christmas at Mary Gazarek's. Then there was the one at Ellen Hanes'. Finally in the late spring we held one at Anna Mae Hector's. We gained one new member, Geraldine Plottsg and we lost one, Lena Heers. In May, our first year ended, only for us to return again in the fall as Sopho- mores. Anna Mae Hector and Geraldine Plotts were not able to come back with us this year. However, Bob Dillon, Pauiine Mettert, Bob Shafer, and Gladys Higbie joined our ranks. Again we chose Jimmie Haddox as our Class President. The others were: Vice President, John McCameyg Secretary-Treasurer, Rex Inbodyig Reporter, Gage Shreve. We became quite active that year. Bob 'Shafer was on the first team in boys' basketball and Norma Freed and Betty Engard were on the girls' first team. We also were starting in other activities. We held two parties this yearg one at Jeanette Rider's and the other at the schoolhouse. Along came May and summer vacation. In the autumn we returned with more enthusiasm than ever. We were getting more important. In September we selected our class officers: President, Jimmie Haddox, Vice President, Earl Penetong Secretary, Dorothy McQui'stong Treasurer, Margaret Bor- geltg and Reporter, Helen Lanker. ' We worked hard that year so we could banquet those worthy Seniors. We had charge of the candy office and gave the play, The Yeilow Shadow . We were sorry to lose Paulene Mettert and Gladys Higbie early in the year, but we gladly welcomed into our midst June and Margaret Miller. This was also the last year here for Helen Springer, Betty Engard, and Bob Dillon. The Senior girls held a farewe.l party, including a hamburger fry, at Norma Norway's followed by a theater party for Pauline Mettert before she left. That spring we again adjourned but were very eager to start again for the last lap of the journey. 6 The last year was the busiest one of all for most of us which included Interna- tional Relations and all those speeches to get . However, we somehow struggled through. New members of the class were Charles Worthman and Bill Hill. Class officers of our Senior year were Jimmie Haddox, President, Earl Peneton, Vice President: Rex Inbody, Secretary, Charles Worthman, Treasurerg and Joe Miklovic, Reporter. We held a barn party at Sam Shoop's and a surprise birthday party for Rex Inbody at his home. Our play, a mystery-comedy, was Hobgoblin House presented December 2. All in all we had a busy and wonderful time at McComb High and now are sorry we must say goodbye. 1 f

M. H. S. GEM Wal! WE, the Senior Class of 1942 of McComb know that our High School days are almost ended. Before we depart, we wish to make this our last will and testa- ment. We leave to our successors these qualities and quantities which they now need worse than we do. To the entire school we leave the use of the new electric score-board for which we so generously donated, constructed by the ingenuity of Mr. McVey. To the Juniors, we leave our most perfect manners, brilliant thoughts, and orderly fashion so they too can have a dignified rank. To the Sophomores, we will our good discipline so they can behave and stay out of trouble as we have. To the Freshmen, we bequeath our sense of direction and unreached goals to guide them through good old M. H. S. We leave to our teachers the following: To Mr. Parrett, we leave our foolishness and uncommon sense, hoping he keeps on correcting erring students. To Mr. Neiderhiser, we leave our humorous and interesting stories so he can fill the first period with something other than Civics and International Relations. To Miss Ruehle, we give our precious time spent in her classes. To Miss Tingle, we will all our old test papers, magazines, and card- board boxes so she can save them for defense. To Mr. King, we will all our de- flated footballs and basketballs for his future chiampion teams to practice with. To Mr. Henderson, we leave our best wishes that his Ag. boys become top farmers. To Mr. McVey, we present our ability to keep quiet in the assembly. To Miss Lind- enman, we leave all our knowledge about Shakespeare, so she can definitely prove whether or not he was the true author of his works. To Miss Moyer, we bequeath all our old song books and music sheets. To Mr. Pees, we leave our broken toys, worn out motors, clever ideas and inventions so he can have something to tinker with. 1. Sam Shoop Wills his army of girl friends to Bernard Little, providing Ber- nard promises to train them into army nurses. 2. Dorothy Dale McQuistion bequeaths her fine penmanship to Ned Bennett. Ned wants his girl friends to be able to read his writing. 3. Mary Gazarek wills her ability to get along with all the boys to Ruth Ann Graf if she promises to stop fighting them. 4. Earl Peneton leaves his apple judging 'ability to Paul Collingwood hoping for .another state winner. 5. Charles Worthman gives his power of oratory to Beverly Nusbaum. She wants to tell the world what she knows about love. 6. Bob Shafer presents his rank of captain of the basketball team to Abbie Johnston hoping he becomes next year's star. 7. Margaret Miller wills her long hair to Norman Rozelle. Norman must promise never to cut it. 8. Norma Freed gives her engagement ring to Rosemary Kersh providing she '..'LJaJusaJaaaau.wJuer ri wrnvmwvwrwvwrwrvrwvwi Page thirteen
