Mr. Harold Wolcott Mr. Harold Wolcott known more affectionately to his students as Prof, began his years at MA back in 1921. They were years of hard work in which he gave his time as business manager of the M, sales promoter, and a hundred and one other duties, so freely and un- selfishly. Prof was always willing to help his students when in need and had an understanding quality which brought him the respect and admiration of his students and fel- low teachers. We the class of 1954 humbly co- dedicate the '54 M to you, Mr. Wolcott, as a small token of appre- ciation for what you have done for us and the school during a lifetime rich in tangible work and intan- gible reward. Mr Wolcott at Work

Mr. John Wooley To the memory of Iohn Wooley we co-dedicate this 1954 annual. It was a great shock to all of us when Mr. Wooley passed away last Au- gust. Mr. Wooley was assistant prin- cipal at MA for two years and was to go to Murray as Principal this year. He received his B.A. degree at Macalester College and did grad- uate Work at the University of Min- nesota. After receiving his M.A. de- gree at the University of California, he taught sixth and twelfth grade students Social Studies, Biology and Science. Four years were spent in the Navy as a Medic and then a year and a half was spent as a vet- erans' counselor. He was an assist- ant principal for Five years-three at Murray, two at Mechanics. Those who had the troubles found that Mr. Wooley could al- ways find a few minutes of his busy schedule to talk things over in an understanding way. So to Mr. Iohn Wooley, we, the graduating class of 1954, sadly dedicate this M, Mr. Wooley of Work A M --f ru.or--a...,,N- A f

swf, . M Staff Presents Looking through this M now or after the years have slipped away, there will be many a smile, laugh- ter, or a tear perhaps of those memorable days at MA. October 9 was Homecoming the First big event of the year. Amid the suspense and cheering of the coronation we crowned our king and queen. Hang up Wash. was our slogan, and hang up Wash. we did. It was a thrilling game with a close score, I2-7, MA the victor. The game was followed by a dance in the school gym. February 19. Sno Day. Though originally sched- uled for February 5, we finally crowned queen Iudy Reiling and king Iim McGowan. Since the weather- man refused to cooperate with us, all activities at Como were called off. Again our day closed with a dance in the gym. Editor-in-chief .,... ,,., . . . ....,...,... Bruce Olson Assistant Editor ., ....,., ,.....,.,. .... S h erry Bambusch Sports Editors .. ,....

Through constant effort and hard work the play was a huge success. The Christmas assembly was put on with the com- bined efforts of the Music department, Speech de- partment and stage force. It, too, pleased its audience. Surely you haven't forgotten Valentine's day- with its fun and frolic and blushing faces. Or the Iunior Vaudeville either with all its entertainment. But then came the big event of the year. The I-S Prom. Girls scurried-boys worried. On the following pages we hope we have recaptured for you those memorable events. The M staff pre- sents the school year 1953-54 pictorially.
