SENIORS This was the year that the class of 1965 assumed new responsibilities as it became the senior class of MHS. Fall and spring drew students outdoors, while, during winter, seniors gathered for informal after-game parties. Presiding at club meetings and doing behind-the-scenes jobs consumed much senior time. Foremost in many senior thoughts were studies, graduation, and plans for the future years. 26

Senior Class of 1965 Class Officers, Sponsors Lead Seniors through Final, Rigorous, Happy-Go-Lucky Semesters at M HS Unable to find an unlocked room, senior class officers Dee Velon, literary board; Scott Davis, secretary-treasurer; Louie Ainsworth, vice-president; Barry Bartlett, president; and Steve Steelandt, literary board; hold a meeting by the “M”. Combining time-consuming activities, and homework with the privileges of being seniors, MHS’s graduating class of 1965 became well aware of the duties and re- sponsibilities required of them in an adult world. Looking back, seniors recalled how Indian Summer added to the joy and excitement of fall activities which not only included Homecoming and hootenannies at Blackhawk State Park, but the national election as well. ACT and SAT tests were given to sleepy seniors on many an early Saturday morning with the purpose of sending the scores to their college choices for entrance requirements and for the purpose of indicating their capabilities. Seniors were able to become better ac- quainted with the regulations and customs of colleges through College Day, besides being able to travel to various institutions for a first-hand glimpse at them. Swimming, football, and basketball events were at- tended quite frequently despite the early snow in No- vember, which gave seniors the opportunity to indulge in numerous outdoor sports including skiing, sledding, and tobogganing. Christmas vacation proved a welcome rest and a time for parties that seemed long overdue. Spring arrived and with it spring fever, completion of finals, college acceptances, and the closing activities of the years. Senior Class Production and Senior Ball kept seniors unusually busy with the hope that the two events could be made even better than usual. As graduation came, and went, seniors were able to look back and say that their year was truly an eventful one. Senior Class sponsors Mr. Jack Coder, Miss Helen Anderson, Miss Carol Coin, Miss Barbara Garst, and Mr. Fritz Boom pause after making plans for this year’s final activities. 28
