We, the Seniors, will to the faculty our proficiency in long argu- ments that do nothing but kill time, and also a quart of aspirins, after putting up with us for four years. To the Freshmen we will our good times at M. H. S., and our neat- ness in appearance. To the Sophomores we leave the right to throw paper wads, and also our accuracy. To the Juniors we will the ability to be good-looking, and not let it go to your heads. I, Joe Newman, will my physique and also my ability to make 19 consecutive free throws to Teddy Rausch. I, Daryle Tegeder, assign my baseball ability to Tony Simon. I, Jacqueling Looman, leave my bangs and a bottle of hair dye to Marilyn Mayes.

I, Tommy McDannold, leave to Bill Watkins my technique of teasing Ruth Berghaus and all the other girls. I, Jacky Vanhyning, bequeath my record of skipping school to Dick Simon. I, Betty Heitbrink, will leave to Bonnie Lee my ability in FHA work. I, Marilyn Hobbs, present my English grades to Petie Gregory. I, Winston Lacey, will my “bashfulness” with the girls to anyone who needs it. I, Vernon McDannald, confer on Wayne Tegeder my brains for graduating in three years.

I, Leland Alhorn, present my photography equipment to John Miller.

There were twenty-seven of us, each with the typical freshman spirit, eager to make the most of our next four years. Those answering to roll call were Leland Alhorn, Donald Allen, Stanley Allen, Joanne Allen, Bobby Joe Barth, Patsy Coulson, Lillian Dennis, Marion Dawson, L a w r e n c e Floyd, Vernon Floyd, Billy Joe Gregory, Loretta Gregory, Romayne Gobel, Ella Mae Hall, Betty Heit- brink, Marilyn Hobbs, Winston Lacey, Jacqueline Looman, Joan McDaniel, Tommy McDannold, Joe Newman, Wanda Nortrup, Bobby Rausch, Harold Surratt, Daryle Tegeder, Jack Vanhyning, and Pauline Watkins. In 1947 we are sorry to say we lost six of these students. The urge to marry seized Joanne Allen and Loretta Gregory. Lillian Dennis moved, and Romayne Gobel, Bobby Joe Barth, and Lawrence Floyd grew weary of books and teachers. We added three new students, Anna Brown from Peoria, Phyllis Moulton from Florida, and Roger Henderson from Lewistown, Illinois. The girls were with us only a short time. Phyllis married and Anna moved away. During this sophomore year we pre- sented the one-act play 10% Tommy . We were now Juniors, upper classmen, we felt we were really important! Those not reporting this year were Billy Joe Gregory, Vernon Floyd, and Patsy Coulson. Patsy moved to Versailles and Billy Joe and Vernon grew tired of the Brain Factory . During the course of the year Pauline Watkins and Ella Hall dropped out to marry. This year proved to be quite a hectic one. We gave a three act comedy entitled Crazy House which took much time and effort. Then we tried several other money making schemes to finance the annual banquet and dance in honor of the seniors. This aforementioned banquet was a Plantation Party . Just before Christmas vacation we received our class rings. We were very proud of them and like every other class, we thought ours were the prettiest. In the fall of ’49 we started our last trek on the High School road. Vernon McDannald entered our class. He took extra subjects in order to graduate in three years. We have a total of fifteen seniors due to the loss of Joan McDaniel and Roger Henderson. Joan changed her name to Deter and Roger moved to Hickory Hill Ranch in Mexico, Missouri. This year we presented the play What Anne Brought Home which has a cast of nine characters. At the time of printing we are planning a boat cruise on Lake Michigan from June the first to the fourth. We feel it has b e e n a very successful four years at M. H. S. and know the experiences will never be forgotten. 11 Juniors MARY BROWNING President BUD HYATT THEDA HOBBS WAYNE DARYLE NORTRUP Secretary WANDA JOSEPH TEGEDER BEVERLY GREGORY Vice-President ROBERT WERRIES ALENE HULETT RAYMOND McDANNOLD SCHLICHTING RUTH BERGHAUS DICK SIMON Treasurer PATRICIA RUYLE, Rep.

MODERN APPROACH TO EDUCATION BOYS LEARN HOMEMAKING The basic goals of the homemaking education program of Meredosia High School are to help individuals to — 1. Become better citizens through understanding and assuming responsibilities and privileges as members of the family and of the community. Z. Make more efficient use of available resources through wise planning of expenditures; through wise selection of food, clothing, housing, furnishing, and equipment; through learning how to save money by home production and preserva- tion of food, construction and repair of clothing, and care and repair of tools and equipment. 3. Guide children wisely through understanding their physical and emotional needs. 4. Acquire skills in managing a home and in performing necessary housekeeping duties. 5. Establish a wholesome attitude toward other people through satisfying exper- iences with them and their families. 6. Adjust to changes in their personal lives and in the social economic order. 7. Improve their health through an understanding of what constitute good health and the practice of habits which contribute to it. 8. Appreciate beauty which already exists in their environment and to make their homes, clothes, and food more attractive. 9. Enjoy social activities through gaining assurance by participation in family and community recreation, hobbies, and other activities. 10. Experience a sense of accomplishment through knowing how to do work well, and through acquiring skills and interests that enable them to express creative ability. 19 Calendar SEPTEMBER 1 Welcome Dosh Hi!

Football The students of M. H. S. are happy to welcome 6-man football in our school. This is the first time in the history of the school that football has been played. About sixteen boys reported to Coach Savoie for the first practice. We are in the newly formed 2-C Conference. This first year proved to be a successful venture with a record of four wins and two losses. We, the Indians, won our first game of the season from Franklin by the score 26 to 18. The starting lineup was: Nortrup-left end, Walker-center, Tegeder-right end, Newman-halfback, Tony Simon-halfback, and Dick Simon-quarterback. This lineup was used through out the season. We then came back and won our first home game of the season beating Chander- ville 36 to 8. We didn't click against Routt on foreign soil and suffered our first lose of the year 16 to 6. To round out a successful Homecoming we Indians took a 24 to 7 decision from Arenzville. After leading Franklin the first half we came back cold after the intermission and couldn’t stop Big Bill Rawlings—Result 36 to 22 in Franklin's favor. The team then traveled to Chanderville for their last game of the season and bested the Comets 31 to 19. This marked the end of a successful season for the Indians with a four and two record which was good for a second place tie with Frank- lin in the 2-C Conference. The Indians were proud to have Daryle Nortrup placed on the 2-C Conference first All-Star Team, and Joe Newman and Daryle Tegeder on the second All-Star team. 26 BASEBALL FRONT ROW: L. to R.
