SENIOR HISTORY It was in September of 1936. during the great depression that it happened. Yes. the volcano Mt. Elementary, again repeated its annual eruption and deposited twenty-six Freshmen, as green as possible, into Mendon Union High School. We were invited, as is the custom, to a Hallowe'en Party given in our honor by the Seniors—and were we honored! In ’37 a group of “brilliant” Sophomores entered the doors of M. H. S. to complete the year which marked the “half way point. By 1938 our class had arrived at the “Junior” stage— the most critical of our high school life. “To be. or not to be” is the question. We “were”. Then—Flash! “The King Rides By ! ! And did he ride! Our class play was a mystery-comedy, full of laughs and action, directed by our English teacher. Miss Eleanor Freeman. According to the tradition of M. H. S. the Juniors honored the Seniors with the Annual “Reception”. Contrary to tradition, the banquet was held in the high school gymnasium. Now, 1940 brings the climax of a highly colorful high school career—our Senior year. The highlights of the year include: the class play, reception, our Commencement, and the Alumni Banquet. Of the twenty-one Seniors two have spent their entire school life at Mendon— Mary Ellen Dutton and Alice Rawley—and fourteen have spent their four years of high school here. The remainder have been added since 1936. In all, we have established a high school record of which we can be proud. We have been well represented in all fields of the curriculum, and our boys have done exceptionally well in athletics.
