S ' 014444-4l1L1.l'oa4f Four years ago a group of eighty we-haven't-learned-to-put-our-hair-up-yet, girls and ''we're-the-toughest-kids-in-town,'' boys, tugged at the big white doors of M. H. S. till the teachers came to our rescue and the class of '41 pulled open those doors of learning, stuck already , and entered upon our high school career. ' Our years as freshies passed somehow and already we were beginning to be given recogni- tion in debate, football, music and dramatics. For our freshman year, Christ Troupis served as presi- dent, Doris Blair as vice-president, LorettafZolper as secretary-treasurer, and Margaret Huss, Kathryn Kramer, Wayne Spenader, and Marion Ellingen, as Student Councillors. Fred Wagner was our cheerleader. ln our sophomore year with the help of our advisers Miss Breese, Mr. Zimdars and Mr. Fisher, and our class officers Clifton Bader, Harriett Quandahl and Doris Blair, we showed the new fresh- men and the upper classmen we were not to be ignored. One of our members, Christ Troupis, won his major letter in debate. Glen Harjes, Frank Seno, and Donald Cromwell received majors in football. Seno and Larkin received their track letters, and Seno his major in basketball. But we weren't all great athletes and long-winded orators. We had our musicians too, and maybe more than our share. Clifton Bader had the male lead in the operetta Blow Me Down, and Margaret Huss was accompanist for the same operetta. Kathryn Kramer was accompanist for two choruses of which ten of our classmen were members, as well as pianist for the girls' sextet and boys' quartette. But soon we were juniors and this proved another year of advancement and recognition for us. Seno, Larkin, Krenz, Harjes, and Cromwell had key positions on the football team, and six of our players were lettermen on the basketball team. As juniors we chose Robert Woolley as president, and he was aided by Christ Troupis and Kathryn Kramer. With the help of Miss Hanson the junior class play June Mad was presented and received a huge ovation from the audience. Our Hawaiian Prom, on June 5, won much recognition for our class's artistic and creative ability. This year as seniors we elected Christ Troupis, president, Clifton Bader, vice-president, Loretta Zolper, secretary-treasurer: Robert Woolley, Student Council member: and Fred Wagner, cheer- leader. We presented our senior class play The Night of .lanuary Sixteenth, which because of its spectacular subject matter and splendid acting and production, was an outstanding achievement in M. T. H. S. dramatic history. lt was a credit to our class and to the student management which sponsored it. During this year Loretta Zolper acted as G. A. A. president. This organization with the senior class presented the annual Senior-G. A. A. Carnival on April 25. This carnival was different from its predecessors because of a new act, The Faculty Follies. This skit, which was much publicized, drew townspeople and students alike to see the instructors cut-up. Again the basketball and football teams were composed largely of senior lettermen. We were prominent in the music department with four of our girls as members of the state winning octet and three seniors members in the mixed quartette. Lois Feik, as well as the brass ensemble and clarinet quartette, which contained three of our members, entered State Contest and received second division. Now, as our four-year sojourn draws to its inevitable close, we are presenting our final en- deavor to you who will follow in our footsteps. We hope you will accept our ATODNEM as a remembrance of the class of '41.
