The first senior headache, a source theme assignment, was due the day before Christmas vacation. Not being allowed to forget graduation in the near future, the “49ers” were measured for their caps and gowns in the auditorium. In lengthened sponsor periods college representatives from Pur- due, Indiana, DePauw, and other universities dis- cussed the different types of colleges. The seniors returned from a two weeks’ Christ- mas vacation on January 3, determined to settle down and hit the books. For the 33 seniors with enough credits to graduate, the end of the semes- ter meant the end of their high school careers. ‘The other 278 continued to enjoy their last semester at M.H.S. In May and June activities for seniors-only cli- maxed the ev entful high school days of the forty- niners. The day the senior name cards arrived, a flurry of little white papers descended upon the once uncluttered halls. On May 21, Cap and Gown Day, the prospective graduates wrote their last exams. Between tests seniors flaunted caps and gowns before envious juniors and took snapshots of each other for future reference. The end of the day meant the end of classes for them at M.H.S. On June 3 the seniors danced with their guests at the Junior-Senior Promenade in the Palais Royale. The following week they attended Bac- calaureate and Class Night. In the presence of par- ents and friends the forty-niners ended a four year career at M.H.S when they received their diplo- mas at Commencement.
