JUNIOR CLASS The Iuniors began their third year in MHS confident that with the knowl- edge and experience they had gained thus tar in high school, and with the help of their sponsors they would continue to be successful. At their first class meeting they elected class officers and sponsors. Sher- burne Blake became president: Bill Bieg, vice-presidentg Harlan Daugherity, secretary, and Fred Schultz, treasurer. Mrs. McWhinnie and Mr. Ray were elected sponsors. The first money making project was a Halloween dance. They also sponsored a turkey raitel and a show. These activities garnered enough so that their time was then tree to make preparations for the Prom, May 5, in honor ot the Seniors. The theme was In a Little Dutch Garden and the dance was a great success. One oi the year's greatest thrills was receiving their class rings in early February. Ot course, they thought them the prettiest yet. As ushers for the baccalaureate and Commencement exercises, they ended their l944-45 year. ..12..

SENKDR CLASS HIISTQIW CCOMJ At last we were seniors with Iake Wiloth, Betty Ierman, Betty Lorene Stephens, and Vernon Stephens as officers. We finally elected Dorothy Camp- bell corresponding secretary to help with the additional-letter writing that the senior year called for. The sponsors, who had been with us two years, were Miss Repp and Mr. Banish. The class at last attained satisfaction on initiation day: and the freshmen deserved special recognition for their sportsmanship, which was given by a special and successful party in their honor. They gave us a return party in April. Christmas wreaths and greenery were again sold successfully. In the spring we gave a three act play, Brother Goose, with Vernon Stephens as Ieff, brother goose : Carol played by Betty Hill: Wes, Glenn Babcock: Hyacinth, Marion Esp: Helen, Shirley Peoples: Peggy, Betty Stephens: Eve, Shirley Chambers: Sarah, Mary Frances Puder: Lenore, Lois Ealy: Mrs. Trimmer, Wyoma Dietz: the truck driver, Marion Bergin. Iake Wiloth and Ron- ald Paden acted as prpoerty and stage managers. Lucille Iarisch was the business manager. In the play Vernon took up sewing and Glenn acted himself as a teen-age Don Iuan. Marion did an excellent job as a ten year old girl crazy about football. We frantically decided at the last possible minute to publish an annual. As a result, everyone worked madly to get all the necessary material together before the dead-line. We also sponsored a show to make money for our big project, the annual, and our gift to the school. The juniors honored us with a prom, In a Little Dutch Garden, which was held May 5. Our return favor for the fun We had was a Sneak Day at which we furnished refreshments-if the juniors could find them and us-in Kaycee on April 20. Baccalaureate was on May Z0 with the seniors looking very handsome in red and white caps and gowns. The following Wednesday, May 23, climaxed our career in Midwest High School: Mr. Don Bolt delivered the Commencement address. Betty Hill was awarded the scholarship to the Uni- versity of Wyoming. -11-.
