Daughter of a schoolteacher, Marja is the oldest of the seven children in her family. fife ' slmfzi .. 'Sinai lx.. Moving from a building full of tradition to a school where new traditions must be started was one of the changes the class of 1960 experienced. Rooms and hallways of the new school were transformed from unfamiliar places to scenes of gaiety and activity. There the class applauded the tense courtroom drama, The Night of January l6th,U selected as the senior class play. Walls rang with shouts of 'fFightl', and Go Maroons Goin at pep assemblies in preparation for the big game. Peals of laughter sounded through the building in appreciation of ADC antics. High spirits were not the only quality of the class as shown by its 65 members of the National Honor Society. These students have maintained a 3.5 or above average all four years of high school. First exchange student ever to attend MHS, Marja Laakso of Finland, initiated the exchange program this year by attending school with the graduating class. Through the efforts of school or- ganizations and by means of an International Scholarship, Marja traveled from her home in Rovaniemi, Finland to live with MHS senior, Karen Tracy. Each day found senior students spending school time away from the building preparing for vocations. Cadet teachers from FTA as- sisted grade school teachers in nearby schools, while members of the Distributive Education Club were employed outside the school as part of their business training. The Senior Ball, then baccalaureate and graduation seemed to come all too quickly for members of the class. Memories of the gay times and knowledge gained in both the old building and new made parting sad. 24 Q .- as ' wi s ,.

Seniors The most important tentacle on our Com- pass is that of the actual classroom. Each of the other parts play major roles, but it is here that the students receive the first hand knowledge to be used in later life. l w 4 l l 1 i
