TftewiMvMe ' rtyiy i. 06, 76o4e ' TTtettuvUe f As our senior year ended, we found ourselves thinking back over our four fun filled years at M.H.S. When we were green freshmen, we were lead by Bob Covaciu, President; Nancy Appleton, Vice-President; Patt Merritt, Secretary; Judy Showalterbaugh, Treasurer; and Melvin Greiner, Sergeant-at-arms. Our two main activities were our skating party and our Shamrock Shimmy dance. Then came our second year of high school when we chose black and gold as our class colors. This year Bert Stringham was head man, while Nancy Appleton, Vice-President; Warren Engstrom, Secretary; Sharon Marshall, Treasurer; and Margaret Sheets, Sergeant-at-arms were his able assistants. Again, we sponsored a dance with the theme Buttons and Bows. Grief was brought to the class by the passing away of our classmate, Barbara Bilious. As Juniors we found ourselves busily planning for the big event all Junior classes plan for, the Prom. We held our prom at the Croation Center, and the theme was Moonlight and Roses. Nancy Appleton and Steve Ratajec were crowned queen and king. Another big event of this year was the play, which was Books and Crooks. Our commanding officers this year were: Steve Ratajec, President; Tom Kokinda, Vice- President; Kenny Metcalf, Sec retar y; Richard Poling, Treasurer; Larry Nemeth, Sergeant-at-arms. Again grief hit our class as Yvonne Au- buchon was taken by the dreadful disease of polio. Our Senior year started with a bang as we presented Tish to a capacity crowd. We also sponsored a dance which was a big success. Plans for the baccalaureate and commencement exercises kept us busy, as did our Senior Trip. Leading us through this successful year were: Tom Kokinda, President; Bob Covaciu, Vice-President; Andy Pavlov, Secretary; Beth Burton, Treasurer; and Bill Nichols , Sergeant-at-arms. Memories? Oh yes, there are many of them! 29
