Well seniors, we 've made it, and do you remember when we began our high school career in the fall of 1955. Now, it 's all over forever, and we found ourselves looking back to the four years with memories we'll always cher ish of good ol' M.H.S. We started our days in high school as bewildered Freshmen with thirty nine students. As our class officers we elected the following: President, Judy Sheidler, Vice President, Larry SpitnaleE Secretary-Treasurer, Russell Con- rad, Reporter, Charles Eberly, Historian, Marlene Mapes. Our advisor was Mr. White. We selected as our class colors mint green and white, and for our flower, white carnations. Our class motto is Where there's Victory, There's Harmony. We were glad to have with us Junior Miller, Wanda Osborn, Gerry Hines and Charles Harden as new members of our class. Our Sophomore year found us with thirty-three sophies eager to learn and be on our way. To guide us that year we chose as our Class officers: President, Russell Conrad, Vice President, Charles Cosnerg Secretary, Jan Brickman, Treasurer, Judy Sheidler, Reporter, Joyce Campbell, Historian, Marlene Mapes. Mr. Schmunk was our class advisor. We were sorry to lose Nancy Harden, Wanda Osborn, Gerry Hines and Bill Grogg, but were glad to have a new member, Grace Halsey. Phillip Davis moved to Findlay but returned after six weeks. We were all very proud of Marlene Mapes who had the honor of becoming one of the high school cheerleaders. We earned money for our treasury that year by collecting tax stamps. Our biggest moment was when we selected and voted for our class rings. Our half way mark in high school began with thirty four juniors and brand new, shiny rings. To lead us through the year, we elected as our class officers the following: President, Russell Conrad, Vice President, Charles Cosner, Treasurer, Judy Sheidler, Reporter, Connie Nagy, Historian, Marlene Mapes, and our class advisor, Mrs. Ensign. We were glad to gain Jean Shearer, Fran Cramer, and David Rupert as new members of our class, but during the year we were sorry to lose, Fran Cramer, Grace Halsey, and David Rupert. As our money making projects we sold Christmas Cards and had refreshments at some of the ball games. November, we proudly presented the play Come Out of The Closet which was enjoyed by all. We were proud to have Marlene Mapes as one of our high school cheerleaders. In May, we entertained the seniors with the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet. The theme was Af- rican Safari and the best yet, we think. And before we could catch our breath, we started our last year in high school with thirty one seniors. We were sorry to lose Jean Shearer but were glad to welcome Barbara Crego and Rosemary Coninelacob. To conduct us through the year, we elected the following officers: President, Russell Conrad, Vice President, Charles Cosner, Secretary, Jan Brickman, Treasurer, Judy Sheidler, Reporter, Barbara Cregog Historian, Sharon Doudt, We were honored to have Mrs. Ensign as our class advisor again this year. October l'7th,our mothers served a ham supper before the homecoming game with Van Buren. We were very proud of our beautiful queen, Judy Sheidler, who reigned over the game. We helped our treasury by selling Herald subscriptions and working at the concession stand during the ball games. On May 8, we presented a play Guess Again under the able direction of Mrs. En- sign, our class advisor. It was enjoyed by all who attended. The highlight of the year was our trip to Washington, D. C. and New York City whichl'm sure everyone enjoyed. We were proud to be the honored guests of the Jun- iors at the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 16. Then came the long awaited day, May 17, when we graduated from M.H.S. This was the grand finale of our high school days as the Class of 1959. W, l........., .
