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..

At first we were busy learning the way to our classes and the regulations we were expect- ed to follow. Our first activity as a class was to elect our officerse Billy Daley for presidentg Harold O'Connor for vice-president: Victor Nottingham for secree taryp and Carl Wilson for treasurer. Miss Outzs was chosen for sponsor. Then came initiation, happily for only one day, with costumes, bowing, and carrying books and especially cushions for the seniors. Kangaroo court was the climax of this with the seniors commending us for our sportsmanship and making us display our talents for singing and dancing. Later they entertained us with a dance and refreshments and then we felt we were full-fledged Oilers By several sales we raised money for our treasury and in April gave a party in honor of the seniors. All the school was invited and we served them ice cream and cake. Several of the boys in the class won letters in football and Victor Nottingham was manager for the tootball team. The class was prompt to buy its share of War bonds and stamps. So with still more plans tor the next year, we ended our year as freshmen.
