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

THE 104-3 ILLOHMET (Sophomore Class Concluded) With the coming spring we were found to be more capable of accepting our new position as Sophs. Although the new year found us with only seventy-two enrolled (a loss of twenty-one), we gained a fewr new students who entered school sometime during the year. Officers for the year were: President .... Vice-President Secretary .... Treasurer .... .. Hoy Moorman Virginia Farmer .... Don Owens Lois Eckenberg On December 9, 1942, under the direction of our class sponsor. Miss Glady Wice-carver, we presented a successful play entitled, “The Case of Matthew Mattix.” Although we had no football this year because of the war. we had basket ball, and were represented on the squad by Jim Foreman. Jack McCurrie, Donald Owens. Donald Dyer, and Bob Pansing. With the closing of the school term we found that we were capable of filling our upperclassmen’s shoes next year as Juniors. THE FRESH MAX CLASS On the first day of September the freshman class marched into M. C. H. S. with one hundred twenty-two members proudly bearing the name “Green Froshies.’’ During the first month, under the capable leadership of their sponsors, Mr. Dever and Mr. Sullivan, they elected their officers to lead them through their first year of high school. The offices were all filled by boys. Several of our freshman boys came out for basket ball. Of those who came out we are proud to have C. E. Alliston. Sonny Comer, and Bob Wilcox make the first team. In the future wfe may read about these boys as all-star players and be able to say that they were class mates of ours. The freshmen showed their talent by the presentation of their assembly program November 20. President......... Vice-President ... Secretary ........ Treasurer ........ Sponsor ..........
