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 .......... Assistant Sponsor OFFICERS ...............Lindell DeJarnett ....................Sonny Comer .....................Carl Stoker ..................Jimmie Searles ......................Mr. Dever ....................Mr. Sullivan
