Memories 0 ummer Fade HE CALL of the first bell for classes abruptly ended sum- mer vacations for the students of MHS. The soft green grass and the pleasant summer sunlight beckoned temptingly as textbooks were again opened. Teachers found it difficult to keep the students from mulling over the fun of the summer when they should be returning to the intricacies of algebra, history, or chem- istry. Sun-tanned physiques gleamed in the sun as the boys' gym classes played touch football behind the gym- nasium. ln the afternoon, blue-clad girls would rush past the school With hockey clubs in their hands, heading for the hockey field. Eruised shins and sprained fingers were the topics of con- versation in the locker rooms. elf Eewl School Aetiafitzer Begin One of the community activities ii which the school participated was th Sweet Corn Festival. This Was spor sored by the Mendota Chamber c Commerce and was held on Septernbe 23. Each class nominated a candidat for Sweet Corn Queen and the finc vote was taken by the whole studer body. Betty Mathesius Was electei queen with Genny Weiss, Mary Ham burg, and Marilee Wagner as attenc ants. Classes were dismissed early Wit everyone momentarily forgetting thc school had begun in the excitement c the carnival and big parade.
