Senior Class History Twenty-five happy-go-lucky youngsters enrolled at Mendon Union High School in September 1934. Referred to, by those dignified seniors, as “green Freshies” we even then set out to follow in their footsteps. We organized our class with Miriam Keeling as president. The outstanding events of the year were the Freshman Initiation and the Freshman party held at the Bethel School. Entering into “good old Mendon Hi” as Sophomores we faced another year which would bring us nearer our goal. Again we organized our class with Arch Law Lindsay as president. The outstanding event of our Sophomore year was a World History party sponsored by our Class Advisor, Mr. Burkholder, and our history' teacher, Mr. Porter. We attended the movie showing “The Crusades” and then gathered at Catherine Nolan’s home where we enjoyed refreshments and an evening of fun. Upon entering Mendon High School as Juniors, we were looking forward to a very busy but happy year together. We organized our class by electing Neale Hicknernell as president. The outstanding events were the Junior Class Play “The Jinx” and the Junior-Senior reception. Now as Seniors and after reaching our goal, we organized our class of eighteen members by electing Esther Jones, president. Pauline Hinton

Seniors! (Arch Law applying for a job as . . . grocery boy) The Manager wanted a serious-minded youth, so he put Law to a test. “Well, my boy, what would you do with a million dollars?” Law—“Oh, I don’t know: I wasn’t expecting to get so much at first. McClure—“You don’t seem very enthusiastic about my singing: surely I have some qualifications.” Teacher—“Sure. I. admit you have a large mouth.” Teacher—(To Dallas) “Dallas, sit down in front Dallas—“I can't; I’m not made that way.” “Dearest Catherine,” wrote Carl. “I could swim the mighty ocean for one glance of your dear eyes. I would walk through a wall of flame for one touch of your little hands. I would leap the wildest stream for a word from your lovely lips. As always your Carl. P. S. I’ll be over Saturday night if it doesn’t rain.” Farmer—‘Now, Mary Lou, I’m going to teach you to milk a cow.’ Mary Lou—“But, being a new hand, hadn’t I better start on the Emlyn—“When I dance with you, darling, 1 feel as though were on clouds.” Merle H.—“Don’t be silly; those are my feet.” Dale K. went into a drug store the other day and seeing a pay station placed a nickel in the slot and lifted the receiver. The Operator of course, inquired, “Number please?” Dale: “Number nothing! I want my peanuts.” Mazie: “Which travels faster, heat or cold?” Esther: “Heat, because you can catch cold easily.’
