JANUARY SENIORS In January, 1943, a group of seventy-odd freshmen entered the portals of M. H. S. to begin their four-year career. The class organized in their sophomore year under the direction of Miss Hubbard and soon gave the Shamrock Shindig, a huge success. Numerous other dances followed: the Huba Huba Hop, football dance and the Senior Prom. All were successful. The class also sold football and basketball pencils. Their senior year arrived with Joyce Haviland as the president; Joe Solosky, vice-president; Dorothy Finken, secretary; and John Shade, treasurer. Soon the class was being measured for their caps and gowns, and they realized their stay at M. H. S. was coming to a close. Looking back, the homework and tests were forgotten, and the Class of '47 was very unwilling to leave their kingdom to future generations.
