iI'lI'IIE NAUUTFIILIUS W1D'lZfMflI 'D NA IL 'E IU Il IDAN 'CIE In an attempt to meet the need in Vocational Guidance in our high school Misi Smith, Miss Genger, Mr. Musser and Mr. Stevens planned a course in Guidance for Iuniors and Seniors. 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. Musser Mr. Glenn Stevens Dr. C. H. Dimm - Mr. L. F. Lybarger. Sr. Rev. F. N. Schlegel Mr. C. W. Thompson Mr. Floyd Adams Mr. Samuel B. Miller Mr. C. A. Kniss Mr. W. Erdley - Mr. Harold W.

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

Iunie is the fun loving girl of our class, who is always so full of pep. Added to this, she is a very fine academic student. From her many amusing speeches we gather that she would like to be a dietitian. We hope you will be as popular in this as you are in school. ..Happy,.

Dot has just this year changed to the Commercial Course. We think she would like to be a secretary and we know she will be an ideal one, because of her many traits. She likes many of the surrounding towns, could it be because of her admirers living there!

S,, especially to one? of them. px
