ear idfg! Looking forward, we juniors see one more year of school before we're out on our own. Then as we leave, we'll have all these wonder- ful memories of our junior year - homecom- ing, the junior play, the prom. Let's reminisce over that first year as an upper classman. Much of the credit for the success of my junior year was due to the line leadership of my class officers. Those serving me that year were Glen Fischer as president, Debby Helt- ness as vice-president, and Sandra Montagnoli as secretary-treasurer. Don Buck was added to the list of student council members representing my class. Those who were already on the list were Elaine Lar- son, Madra Montagnoli, Walter Klinge, Delbert Piller, and Lynn Truckenbrod. The junior advisers, Miss Kimmel, Miss Pot- tinger, Mr. Le Marr, Mr. Mann, and Mr. East, found themselves very busy supervising the junior activities. We can be very proud of our advisers who were behind us all the way, especially when it came time to put on the junior play and the prom. Madra Montagnoli and Glen Fischer were elected to represent us as homecoming attend- ants. Various members of the junior class did a fine job entertaining the student body with a homecoming skit on Famous People . Re- member Ross Childers as King Farouk, loanne Wilhelm as Flo Nightingale, and Walt Klinge as Red Grange? Debby Heltness did the mod- erating for that hilarious skit. Plenty of rahs were enjoyed by the fans at the basketball and football games under the leadership of Sharon Biers, also one of my class members. Successful basketball and football seasons were enjoyed by MHS that year and a number of my class made me proud by doing their share. Twenty-three boys were on the varsity football squad. R. Childers, I. Faber, G. Fisch- er, C. Harmon, W. Klinge, and D. Krenz earned their major award in football. On the varsity basketball team were six juniors who were D. Piller, W. Klinge, D. Schwingle, C. Harmon, W. Lemmer, and C. Truckenbrod. Bob Cas- stevens served as team manager during the football season. Dick Smith, Sharon Biers, Dorothy Lau, Deb- by Heltness, Myrna Kilrnartin, Don Buck, Doris Skaggs, Elaine Larson, and Bill Gorman were JUNIOR OFFICERS 5. Monfugnali, Sec.-Treas. - D. Heltness, Vlce-Pres Glen Fischer, Pres. lNo7 Pictured, librarians. Nancy Gove also collected all the fine money and did a fine job as library treas- urer. loanne Wilhelm was the junior attendant to the Queens Court at the Gamma Phi circus. Many junior girls continued their interest and participation in GAA. Nancy Gove was sec- retary, Marjorie Boyle, treasurer, and Debby Heltness was a member of the official board. Many junior girls were preparing for the future when they joined FHA. As well as learning many useful things, the girls had lots of fun at their parties. Many juniors found fun and enjoyment in band. Members from the junior class were R. lackson, C. Bauer, N. Kratz, R. Childers, I. Sauer, R. Herman, M. jacobs, R. Amfahr, D. Krenz, P. Bierwirth, and N. Frizol. Some of the boys have already gone into their various fields of work. lt seems as though Bob Casstevens, Edward Edgecomb, Bill En- nenbach, Glen Fischer, Richard Lucas, Glen Mann, Dick Morrow, Leon Schlesinger, and Gail Sibigtroth want to be carpenters for they took up building trades and helped build MHS a nice little home. Other junior boys showed interest in farming and participated in FFA. Lynn Truckenbrod served as president of the organization and Iohn Fassig as vice-president.
