March came and on the fourth we held Senior Day. Rumors were that ours was the best ever. While all these things were going on, thedifferent staffs that were to turn out our yearbook were working furiously. As editor-in.chief, Betty Lou Ehlers had matters well on their way to the press. Another committee which was workinv very hard was the point system committee Russ Masci and his crew were putting in order all the points each person had earned toward the Washington ri Today as we are nearly ready to leave the halls of M H S we do so regretfully However X X because of the experiences and training w'e've had here, we feel we will be able to face whatever may come our way. We have fond memories of class. mates, teachers, friendships, auditorium programs, dances, parties, bond fire rallies, and football and basketball games. In these four years weve shared joy, sorrow, hard work, disappointments, and finally success These will help us to become better citizens in years to come And so in bidding our farewell knowing well never forget you Alma Mater we hope you ll remember us The Class of 1950 RUTH MooRL ccllevalior 5101: T F My in and Qye n page fofly llnee .
