cLAss WILL We, the Senior Class of 1954 of McComb High School know that our days in this school are as numbered as the hairs on Coach Finley's head. Being of weak mind,weak body and totally incapable of concentration, in accordance with the laws of M.H.S., we make this our last will and testimony. To the entire school we leave the example we have set as excellent scholars and blameless students. To the Juniors we bequeath our Government textbooks, providing they hold a bonfire early next fall, using these instead of firewood. To the Sophomores, we do bequeath our intelligence, our good behavior, and ability to carve desks. To the Freshmen we leave our sympathy and regret that they will be re- quired to struggle along somehow without the advice, help and direction of a truly remarkable group of Seniors of 1954. To the faculty we will all the things we should have learned,but still don't know, all the things we should have done, but didn't do, and all the weary hours spent in the detention hall. I, Dwain Augsburger, hereby will my sleepy disposition to Melvin Peter- man, providing he can keep his eyes and mouth closed at the same time. I, Jack Pickens,hereby will my convertible to my brother Dick,providing he keeps up the Picken's tradition of having the sharpest convertible in school. - I, Wayne Spitnale, hereby will my main attraction to the girls, which is red hair,to BillClevenger so he can geta date for the Junior-Senior Banquet.

CLASS HISTORY 1950-1951 In the month of September, 1950, the history of the Senior Class began. Twenty Five eager, but frightened children made that bold step from junior high into senior high. We started the freshman year by electing the following officers to lead us: President, Jack Finley, Vice President, Lois Martens, Secretary-Treas- urer, Bonnie Shoop, Reporter, Janet Deerwester, and Historian, Helen Keck- ley. We chose as our motto, Tonight we Launch-Where shall we Anchor? Our class colors are scarlet and gray,and the white rose was chosen as our class flower. We lost Ronald Perkins and Charles Parish to Van Buren,and Gene Niede- meyer, who moved to Findlay, however, we gained two new members, Bob Beam from Centerburg, and Phyllis Wagner from Hoytville. We held two enjoyable class parties our freshman year, one on December 16, and the other in the spring. To raise money we held a bake sale. 1951-1952 Our sophomore year started with Twenty Eight students reporting on schedule for the 1951-1952 school year. To lead our class for this year we selected these officers, President, Bob Beam, Vice President, Robert Barker, Secretary-Treasurer, Rosemary Leader, Historian, Lois Martens, and Re- porter, Janet Deerwester, Mr. Burt was named our adviser. We gladly welcomed three new members to our class. They were Dwain Augsberger and Sharon Greene, both from Findlay, and Sandy Chapman mi- grated from North Baltimore. At the end of the year we picked our class rings. 1952-1953 ' We had Twenty Seven members when our Junior Year began. We were sorry to lose Janet Deerwester, Barbara Sudlow, Mary Sterling, Sharon Greene, and Margaret Coakley, but with great pleasure we added Wayne Spit- nale from Liberty and Sarah Spence from Deshler. The following officers took charge our Junior year: President, Helen Keckley, Vice-President, Lois Martens, Secretary-Treasurer, Rosemary Leader, Historian, LaDonna Myers, Reporter, Janet Deerwester. Our ad- viser for the year was Miss Sloan. A big boost was given to our treasury by having a successfulbake sale early in the year. The sale of pop corn at basketball games didn'thurt either. 23
