QQVUQ, enior 661.44 X ' 'E .j'fli4t0 ?f .- ' mm Four years ago twenty mischievous little frosh entered MRHS, with bright eyes trained toward that wonderfuldlplomain the seemingly far distant future. They were led into the halls of learning by President Danny Chandler, Vice- President Pat McDermott, and Secretary-Treasurer Alva Smith. Being well re- presented in glee club and chorus, they also sired a flrst stringer in foot- ball, Danny Chandler, with Chuck Proffitt taking lettering honors in basket- ball. Plentycf pep and vlgorvere supplied by Betty Norris and Jennie Hayden, cheer leaders. Their second year saw them growingmp and no longer taunted as uGreeniesF Some of the old faces were missing in the crowd, and Gene Gulson, Alberta Stacv, Glen Cooper, and Pobert Hale were seen amoung the group. New class leaders were President Dave Henderson, Vice-President Betty Norris, Secretary Jennie Hayden, and Treasurer Billie Lanning. Again chorus and glee club was swelled with the lusty voices of the sophles, with Jennie Hayden tahing part ln drum corps. The year 1911.7-118 saw Chandler and Profflttlnlhe pigskin parade, with Alva Smith, Gene Gulson, Joe Godin, and Dave Henderson taking reserve letters. Sponsors that year were Mrs. Ruth Doty and Mr. Jack Broadhurst. How the time flies. Take out a sheet of notebook paper and sharpen a pencil, and the little people have grown up, regular juniors too. Two new faces, Florence Parrish and Robert Tarter, appeared, with Chandler and Napier leaving before the end of the year. In the reins were President Dan Chandler Vice-president John Grasso, Secretary Florence Parrish, and Treasurer Robert Tarter. The entire male population, it seemed, turned out for sports, with Cooper, Thayer, McDermott, Henderson, Guison, and Proffitt starring on the first string and being ably supported by substitutes Morey Grant, Joe Godin, Earl White, Alva Smith, and Robert Hale. Those receiving honorable mention in the League included Guard McDermott and End Proffitt, with many congrats being tossed their way. Basketball hustlers Gulson, Cooper, and Grassoverew awarded first team letters. Ffficient subs McDermott, Godin, Smith, Grant, Hale. and Tarter warmed the reserve bench. The boys of the long deep breaths in track were Guison, Thayer, and Tarter. The highlight of the year, as always, proved to be the junior-sen1orlnn- duet, which followed an Indian theme, even to a center teepee and Indian braves and maidens serving the wonderful food. Earl Jam1son's Melodic King Band provided the dream music for dancing. Mrs. Nellie Good and Mrs. Treva Geler were sponsors of this grand event. At last the caps and gowns loom just below the horizon, justteyond reach of the eager hand, and the solumn day of 'Pomp and Circumstancen is fast ap- proaching. And a new face will be marching down the aisle with all the old buddies in the form of Eugene Walker. Boys playing their last game for dear old MRHS and lettering were Grant, Gulson, Cooper, Henderson, Tarter, Smith, Thayer, Proffitt, McDermott, Godin, and White. Dribbling the all-important ball down the court were Guison, Cooper, Smith, Grasso,-and Proffitt, all first teamers, with Grant and Godin receiving reserve tags. Jennie Hayden turned actress with her role as nMarmee' I1 'Llttlehbmenf Chorus saw Hayden, TB-Pier, BGVDCOCX. and 0b6FZ3l'l exercising the vocal chords, md Hayden again ex- ercising the legs in Drum Corps. The most triumphant victory of the four gruelllng years proved to be the election of Queen Norma Brenner, and King Bill Thayer to reign over the yearbook. Mr. Jack Broadhurst was sponsor dur- ing this eventful and fun-filled year. 'fyaasaaafwaffw t X : , -e' - J Q, 's
