'Jo ns on, ANNUAL STAFF Since a student year book invari- ably becomes an ,authoritative permanent record of school life, the staff has been especially anxious to represent all types of activities. Because we feel that in- formal pictnres arouse keener memories, we have, wherever possible, depicted our daily life in its most familiar setting. We are Well aware that our work would have :been unsuccessful without the wholesome cooperation of all the students and it is this traditional M. H. S. spirit that has made our work a pleasure. The 2i2 persons, wh'o, early in Jan- uary, undertook the responsibility of building this Year Book did not realize what a task they h-ad undertaken until about the middle of March when they learned that the copy was to be com- pleted by early April. On February 11, at a s-ge-cial convocation which featured an original take off on a Red Skelton program, the sales campaign was begun which netted a total of more than 275 books to establish an all time record for year book sales. We were too busy to have many parties, however, we ,did manage to have one outstanding social event--a slide down hill party which ended at the junior high school lunch room with a chili feed.
