Pres MIDST THE SWIRL of falling leaves emerged a happy, carefree group known as the sophomores of MHS. Their activities of the by-gone year have been many and varied. They started off by electing Larry Lau as president of their class with Harry Phalen as vice- president and Carole Truckenbrod acting as secretary-treas- urer. This 'iterrific trio led the sophs to untold fame and glory. The first task to be tackled was the never-to-be-forgotten Homecoming. Riding on their gayly decorated float was Queen Mary Hamburg, attended by Sue Schmitt and Norma Cotton. The satisfaction received from the beauty and excellence of their float made up for all toil and tears. The boys really proved themselves rough and ready on the gridiron. As members of one of the best Frosh-Soph squads in years, they fought for and won the N.C.I.C. Championship. They will make fine varsity material for next year's team. Equally as handy on the basketball court, the lay-Tees showed they were more than qualified to graduate to the Varsity. Also to be congratulated on his work is Dean Mosher who carried out a fine job as manager, Not to be outdone by the male members, the girls, too, made a fine showing in sports and were often seen battling in GAA tournaments. For the first time the sophs were given the privilege of choosing their class rings now, instead of waiting until their junior year. After several days of listening to the competitive salesmen and arguing which ring was the prettiest, they made their choice. ln the magazine drive they proved themselves also able salesmen and secured additional funds for their treasury. Chorus and band found many sophs competing for honors with the rest. Many unveiled hidden talent in the music con- tests and festivals. Marna Brewbaker was the only member to participate in speech contests. Next year she will have the task of leading more of her fellow students into this highly interesting and edu- cational field. Throughout the year this vibrant class of 'Sl was coun- seled by Mr. and Mrs. Doenier and Mr. Pourchot. flavlmpiomlagla all in the Same ear

Shoemaker ACK THROUGH the portals of MHS marched the class of 'SU - this time as jaunty juniors. From the first day this aggregation of eager fellows and girls worked toe gether to accomplish any and all undertakings set before them. Their first task, a joint one with the seniors, was the estab- lishment and management of the new broadcasting system. With the aid of their sales, traffic, copy, technician, and an- nouncing committees, the two classes made this public address system a success as well as a tremendous asset to the school and the community. Homecoming time was a gala affair for this class, and they will hold forever in their memories the blood and tears that went into the construction of their float, which was in the form of a shell with a huge star in the background. Homecoming queen was Arlene Rohs, and seated beside her were her ate tendants, Nancy Mathesius and leannine Dunn. This was the year for the selection of a class ring, which is quite a memorable occasion. Many ah's and oh's were heard before the final selection was made, a ring that will help to keep all these memories of school fresh. The juniors were by no means lacking enthusiasm for sports. Their male members Were seen in the ranks of the basketball, football, and track teams. The girls also excelled in the field of athletics. Many a good game was played in GAA by these vibrant misses, who always gave the seniors quite a tussle. The band and other music groups were filled with these busy classmen, into group and solo contest work trooped the happy throng, to bring home ribbons and honors for their school. ln speech and debate Work they were also represented and next year these orators and debators will again be back to strive for higher honors. The class of '50, it seems, was particularly endowed with theatrical abilities, for their play was a huge success and was enjoyed by everyone. The cast, committees, and the director, Mr. Pourchot, must be congratulated for their untiring efforts. And last but certainly not least was the job of arranging the annual prom. The task was a big one, but they handled it with extreme ease and made the event very memorable. Marvin Ehlers as president, Tom Faber as vice-president, and Nancy Blotch as secretary-treasurer, did a fine job. The sponsors were Coach Lewis, Mr. Rollins, Miss Dahl, and Miss Payne.
