working as unit seniors won trophy, ticket sales SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS, assisted by their advisors, try on their graduation caps and gowns in anticipation of the long-awaited night. President Duane Shaw is handed a cap by Robert Paul, advisor, while Peggy East, .treasurer, and Dwayne Fournier, sergeant-at-arms, admire their appearance in the new attire. Secretary Pam Furst is assisted with her collar by Mrs. Glennie Mae Early, advisor, as Vice-President Pete Tuggle prepares to don his robe. We are good and we are great, what'll you do when we graduate? Seniors, seniors, s-e-n-i-o-r-s-! This is what members of the class have been singing all year—not only at the last pep assembly when they worked together to win the trophy for yelling loud, co-operating, and for the original song itself. Being able to work together as a unit has been one outstanding feature of this class. It again banded together in full force to out-sell the other three classes in A.S.B. play ticket sales competition. Their effort was well rewarded with the right to their traditional section in assemblies. The fourth-yearers were envied by the rest of the school when they journeyed May 5, to Camp Merri-weather for a fun-filled skip day. The escapade, one of the many privileges that they had looked forward to since their freshman days, was spent in swimming, hiking and boating. The class play, the unforgettable story, I Remember Mama. ran for two successful nights. Two functions which honored the class took place in May—the junior-senior prom, and the junior-senior banquet. These festivities were given by the juniors for their superiors. The feminine half of the senior class was again feted, this time by the F.H.A. girls' before-school breakfast. The long-awaited last week of school began with Baccalaureate in the Baptist church, where Reverend Lawrence Guderian spoke. Dr. Roben Maaske. O.C.E. president, was the guest speaker for commencement exercises. Steve Taylor also gave an address as das-orator. He was elected to this honor by his classmates, who also voted the Peace rose, class flower; and coral and gray, class colors. Lillie Ralston and Betty Young-man served as valedictorian and salutatorian. respectively. for the class. Ending the year packed with activities, school work, and fun. the seniors leave behind their four years at M.H.S. with confidence in their motto. Believe in the past, act in the present, trust in the future. 16
