We appreciate the ways in which both he and his wife have shown so much patience and willingness to help. We also appre- ciate his good-natured ways. THEME Construction is the theme the Meteor staff has chosen this year. Our new addition has brought out this idea, and the staff has tried to capture the different phases of construction in the pages of this Meteor. SUPERINTENDENT 0. J.

Those receiving a perfect attendance record are Dennis Hill and Ronnie Rohroback. Thomas Moore and William Ries received all A's during the year. Merlyn Tripp, Carol Crockett, Gretchen Geer, David Pifer, Classle Scott, and Dennis Hill had birthday parties and their parents treated the boys and girls in our room. The second grade took part in one of the P.T.A. pro- grams and the school Christmas program. During the year the boys and girls saved sales stamps and bought a record player and records with the refund from the sales stamps. A trip to the Toledo Zoo and the Toledo Municipal air- port was enjoyed by all. The year ended by having a joint picnic with the first grade at the local park. Holiday parties were held at Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines Day. The children entertained their mothers in May for Mother’s Day. THIRD GRADE NEWS There were thirty-two third grade pupils to start the school year. John Earhardt, Rose Ann Bugg, Linda McKimmy, and Suzanne Shadle left. We welcomed one new boy, Rex Bent- ley from Michigan. Elaine Adams, who had polio three years ago in Detroit, Michigan, had a series of operations and is now able to walk unassisted. William Hallett had an operation for appendi- citis. Eight boys joined the Cub Scouts. The only member of the third grade to have perfect attendance was Richard Hassen. The lucky children who were able to take trips were Jerry Burroughs, who traveled to California and gave us help in understanding the United States; John Rice, Jr., who flew to Florida; and Betty Lou Parsons, who went to Kentucky with her parents by automobile. They all enjoyed their trips very much and saw many places and things which will later help them in school. The third grade would like to thank Mrs. Naomi Mossing very much for the very good job of teaching she did for eight weeks while their teacher, Mrs. LaVerne King, was re- covering from an operation. The last of the year the children enjoyed a trip to the zoo and Art Museum. THIRD GRADE 1. Linda McKiiraqy 2. Richard Moore 3 Betty Lou Parsons h. John Rice 5.

Hifft —--- SIGNET SENIOR PROPHECY At the ripe old age of 27 I decided to tour the United States to visit my old classmates. As I climbed aboard my jet plane I saw at the controls of another plane Jack Lud- man, who finally realized his ambition as an air force supersonic jet pilot. My first stop was in New York City, New York. There I met the President of the Last National Bank, Mr. David J. Roznowski, and Daryl Mossing, Governor of New York, who pre- sented me with the key to the city. I was really overjoyed to find my classmates prospering so well. Then I retired to my hotel suite to watch tele- vision. The first program happened to be sponsored by the Eisel Soup Company. Representing the company was its presl- dent and manager, Marie Eisel. I always thought sure she a be a good cook. Making her first appearance on 3-D tele- vision was Bernice Davis appearing in Old Ma Davis,' a re- broadcast of Old Ma Perkins. These M. H. S. graduates were really making something of themselves. The next afternoon I attended the boxing matches in which the champion, Biting Betty Kllppel, was to fight. Presiding at ringside as commentator was Victor Langender- fer, head sportscaster at VRI television station. The same evening saw me as guest of Barbara Iffland at the Stork Club where she was head chorus girl. Continuing my tour I stopped in Nashville, Tennessee, and ran into Duane Sullins. Duane now had 1,530 acres of land in the Ozarks. Ranching alongside Duane was Jayson Gleckler. Jayson was still chasing pigs'. Why? Because there were about 300 pigs running around his property. On to Denver, Colorado, I sped to visit a college pro- fessor at the University of Colorado. Teaching advanced physics was my old classmate and rival, David Vrooman. SENIOR FROPHECY In California, I was reunited with a world-famous heroine, Anne Sell Anne was now head nurse at Smith's Sanatorium. One of her patients was Peggy Fuller who was recovering from the shock of losing her fifth husband. Continuing my solo trip I ran into Bob Hudik, and I do mean ran into him. Both our planes were demolished. Bob was on his way to the moon to call on his harem. After purchasing another jet I continued homeward. Outside Berkey there lived a huge family. The woman of the house was Pellla Stutzman. When I called on her and her nine children, her oldest, Douglas, Jr., ran forward and bit me in the leg. I finally had to return home and nurse my aching bones. I returned to old M. H. S. to continue my teaching job. After all, I, Joan Sanderson, have been teaching English for 6 years. SENIOR RHYMES PEGGY FULLER Peggy is the only engaged girl; She keeps everyone in a whirl. With Peggy only one thing is the matter, Changing not her first name but the latter.

FINDERS CREEPERS The junior class presented their play, Finders Creep- ers, in the school auditorium Friday, November !+, It was directed by Mrs. H. A. Rush. Hercules Nelson's uncle and aurt had wanted him to spend a weekend with them. They even said he could bring his pal, Wilbur Maxwell. The boys arrived at Uncle Bob's, set for a big weekend. Hercules knew his uncle had taken a new job, but what he didn’t know was that uncle was a mortician. Needless to say, the boys were terrified. They were all for heading home, especially when they found there was another guest in the house, Jason Quigley, whose funeral was to be Monday. Mr. Quigley, the guest, walked around, read the paper, and climbed into bed with Hercules. Mr. Quigley wasn't really dead. Someone tried to do away with him while he was asleep, so he evolved a plan! He’d make his family think he was dead, thon show up at his own funeral and trap the guilty party. No doubt Mr. Quigley had a good plan, but there were two things he failed to reckon with: Wilbur Maxwell and Herc- ules Nelson. They set out to solve the case. Hercules tipped off Nina that her grandpop was alive, she tipped off her family, and everything was messed up. Uncle Bob was im- plicated and mistakenly cprted off to the clink, and the boys finally came face to face with the culprit. The boysfi- nally escaped with their necks, but not before one of the wildest finishes ever. Nr. Quigley and Granny decided to elope and the milty party was soon found out.
