THE 19-4-3 ILLOHMET THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class is now composed of seventy-three of its original one hundred and thirteen members. The membership was greatly reduced because of the war. The class was represented in basket ball by Douglas Helm, Gale Adkins, Karl Kotter, and Lavelle Schnieder. Barbara Neff represented the class as cheer-leader. The Junior Class play, “HIS LOVING NEPHEWS,” presented on November 6. 1942 was well received by the community. The proceeds were larger than those of any other Junior Class play in M. C. H. S. history. The refreshment stands were managed by Delbert Cox, Vernie Barnett, Jo Nelle Miner, Harriett Evers, Norma Jean Wiseman. Doris Jean Pansing, and Joe Evers, under the excellent supervision of Miss Bess Atwell and Mrs. Ora Hush Farmer. The proceeds went to the class treasury. The officers for 1942-4 3 were: President ..................................Vernie Barnett Vice-President ..............................Tommy Frink Secretary .......................................Jeannette Bolton Treasurer ............................................Gale Adkins Our sponsor was Miss Bess Atwell capably assisted by Mrs. Ora Rush Farmer. SOPHOMORE CLASS In September, 1941, ninety-three grade-school soldiers stormed the gates of Fort M. C. H. Si, but were defeated by the mighty Trojan warriors. For their punishment they were given one year of slavery, in which they had to serve their upper classmen. Although they were downcasts, they were allowed to send representatives to all activities of the school, and this they did. One important thing they did was the sponsoring of a popsicle sale at school to pay for their pictures in the year book. Another was the selection of their leaders as follows: President .... Vice-President Secretary .... Treasurer .... (Continued On Next Page) Kenneth Girtman ....Roy Moorman Imogene Burkhead ........Dan Rush
