I KCONTINUEDD When we returned to school in the fall of '47, we bore upon our brows the classic symbol of attainment ----- Seniors. Our fourth and crowning year of Success!!! How G?e'S'TwTa feel! Hpw GREAT we feel!! fDon't laugh, ---- Why, our dignity was even contagious. But, as the days passed, several mem- bers dropped along the wayside, leaving only 16 to graduate, being the same number with which we started when we were green Freshmen. My, what a busy day we're having! It seems as though a million things take place, for this year is filled with thrilling experiences, such as---A few days of hookey, a trip to a football game at Georgetown, tour to Lexington, having pictures taken, ordering cards and invitations fwhat a mix-up!!j, caps and gowns, pep meetings, plannings, plan- ning for class night, commencement, baccalaureate and Sr. trip. But most of all, we look forward to the Maroon and Gold folders---The contents of which puts the climax to all our M. H. S. efforts, Only a few more months of school and Minerva will close her doors of learning forever upon us, as a student, but will not fade from our memories. ------------ H-- The four years we have spent, have been happy and pro- fitable, and we wish to extend our deepest appreciation to the faculty for the many things they have done for us, and for overlooking the many things that school kids do, to torment their best friend, the teacher. With a feeling of regret ------ We bid our ALMA MATER farewell --------------- BY NORMA BOONE. 6

As I turn the pages of Minerva's life history, I find that it has always been in a class of its own. No doubt, we didn't realize, as the frustrated years have passed, that we are making more history to be recorded for '48. We are now bidding farewell to our M. H. S. students, and as we think of the sad time, when we shall leave, there nat- urally comes to us remembrances of the last year that we have spent, and upon a happy four years, we glance backward. It was a bright, sunny September morn in '44 when 16 little green Freshmen, nervously found their way into their rooms. ----- TIITEHS7 we hadknown of the numerous battles ahead to be won. Our Sophomore year was spent in earnest study. We were then mo ed with the other M. H. S. students, and with the new students from Germantown, which boosted our attendance. Our Junior year was a very happy- one, as we were no longer 'Ii'El'E'Insignificants ---- for we held a position to which came the student body for a council member, cheer- leaders, an outstanding speech student, and other assistance. The highlight of the year was our Junior and Senior Banquet, and under the guidance of Mrs. Kitson, we feel that we had just about the best banquet in the history of the school. We also gave a class play, performed by 12 members of the class, but we felt we became so rich from proceeds of the first performance, we refused to repeat lt. ------ Many plea- sant days' passed in May and we were no longer Juniors. ---- ----P. S. Rings were ordered and received in February. CLASS HISTORY fcontinuedl 5

xg! 4 FMMM -fs I am Destiny. Yes, I am inevitable.I know what you dream now and what you will always dream. Your fate lies in my hands. I am traveling a long road, but my path is light. I pause, rest, and my eyes grow heavy and lo, in my dream- ing I see an island, the only one of its kind in the universe. I see people. It is the year 1968 A. D. and the peoplel see are ones Ihave followed throughthe yearsbecause of their parti- cular talents and special abilities. These people moved to this island from a place called Minerva, which is in another world. From the highest hill of the island Ican see many things. The island is large, but by moving about one can see what great successes these people have made of their lives. Look- ing about, I see Goze's Opera House. Seated ata piano, play- ing to a vast audience is Miss Gloria Eads, who not long ago was married to Professor R. Johnson. She looks serenely happy. On the out skirts of a small village is a very prosperous farm. But, then no wonder, with the training the owner had while in high school, how could it be anything else? The farmer is painting the garage. Moving closer I see it is .Toe Bill Dwyer. He has great wealth. He is soon to embark upon a great journey to the other world: to China. On a high hill is a large, white hospital. Its name is Eisenhower Memorial Hospital. Dr. Yelton Mullikin, M. D. is staff superintendent. He is performing a serious operation, but he is a noted sur- geon and is successful. Another valuable member of the per- sonnel of the hospital is Barbara Hughes who is working with Dr. Mullikin. She is administrator of the anaesthetic. She is happy with her work. In alarge, office building located in the city of More stown, is an up-and coming stenographer, by name, Virginia High- lander. She is a very happy person, and believes that life has been good to her. A secretary for a large banking firm in the same city is Marian Fegan. Her employer contends that she is one of the best, and her ability for using short- hand is uncanny. Walking down the street, I see a huge build- ing and a sign in front reads, DAILY GAZETT. Something whizzes past me. Why, it is REPORTER NORMA BOONE going to cover a robbery of Mrs. I. VanDines jewels. Re- porter Boone is quite successful and has helped solve many case s.
