lfIl'1 IE NA IU lf II IL 'US During our Senior year we conducted many activities such as: food sales, selling candy, and that never-to-be-forgotten Searchlight Minstrel at which over 1500 people were in attendance. With excellent cooperation and interest in these activities the class raised enough money to go to the New York World's Fair. Much time and hard work was spent in making the Nautilus. Our high school career came to a happy ending when we were given a splendid banquet by the Iunior Class and the annual Alumni Dance. The Class of '39 had many enjoyable times together. Several members of the class were dominating in Sports, Commercial work, Music, and F. F. A. work. Our class was the first class in the history of M. H. S. to take a trip such as the one to the Worlds Fair. Life is good because of the friends we have made And the things which in common we share. We want to live on, not because of ourselves But because of the friends who are there. It is giving and doing for somebody else As our path over life's highway wends, And the joy of this world, when you've summed it all up. Is found in the making of friends. PAGE NINE

SIE N ll 'D ID 'C ILASS lI'lllSlf1DIl2Y The present Senior Class began their education in the fall of nineteen hundred. twenty-seven, and under the guidance of Mrs. Ringler we learned the A, B, C's and the other fundamentals of learning. We shall not forget the brief years spent under the guiding hand of Miss Anna Lincoln. In the third grade, Clair Yagel and Lois Reeser were added to our ranks, and re- mained with us until these, our graduating days. In the fourth, fifth and sixth grades we were schooled by the capable teachers. Miss Kline, Miss Lodge, and Miss Mensch. These three years were spent in the Academy Building. We were the only class to spend the entire fourth, fifth, and sixth grades in that old building. A big step was taken when we entered the seventh and eighth grades, where we got our first taste of high school life. We had considerable trouble adapting ourselves to the new methods and rules, but we soon overcame these difficulties. Clair Yagel and Eugene Cook, our great mathematicians, won First and Second place respectively, in the Union County Eighth Grade Contests. Lois Reeser lost out in the spelling contest by failing to spell suite, In our Freshmen year our class was greatly increased by the addition of our out- of-town pupils, The first few months of high school developed among the pupils a feeling of superiority. However, we soon discovered that we were still greenies. As Sophomores we began to take an active part in all school activities. A few of the boys were already playing on the varsity soccer and baseball teams. There was much excitement when we chose our class rings, an event which we had long looked forward to. The Iunior class became divided into three groups, namely, the commercial group, the academic students, and those interested in vocational work. During the year we conducted a series of food sales and sponsored a dance in order to raise money for the prom. The class, through its fine cooperation, gave a very successful and enjoy- able banquet and dance. PAGE EIGHT l

These groups met each Friday morning to listen to speakers from town and near-by communities who were experienced in their fields and brought information to the groups concerning their line of work. The objectives in offering this course were: 1. To impress upon the student the need for selecting a life work. 2. To give direct knowledge of the essentials for entering certain vocations. 3. To help to find the kind of work each would enjoy. 4. To find out what opportunities are open. 5. To meet outstanding personalities, and hear them tell what traits of character and industry helped them succeed. The following speakers spoke to the boys during the course: Mr. T. M.
