Ol coursewe were sorta quu?l our first two years because we were getting acquainted but now.. Because he was such a good leader, John Ohlcr was elected president both our Freshman and Sophomore years. And then to that Junior year when Gale Sharer was elected president, Bob Riggle, vice president, Carol McCullough, secretary, and Eleanor Crow, treasurer. The sign DANGER HIGH 'EXPLOSIVESH was the term in use, especially after the Junior Play which was DYNAMITE, lt was one of the biggest hits ever produced at M. H. S. The play was Snafu or Sit- uation Normal-All Fouled Up. The money from the play was used for the simply wonderful Junior-Senior Prom. VVe are well represented in sports. In fact one of i OFFICERS BOARD OF DIRECTORS the boys who always comes through with at long run in football is Dick Hanson, a member ot the Junior class. He wasn't the only one who could make the opponent DE'l'OUR as there were also Don Brooks, Dick Fos- ter, fl.ynn Jenks, Cappy Sharer, Jlitjllll Mobnrg, john Ohler, Reuben Bigger, Bruce Bailey, Dave Fetherston, and Mike Gardner. Several boys on the basketball squad were also from the junior Class. The juniors are well represented in all organizations. VVe can give a lot of thanks for the GREEN LlGH'l ' class to our adv,iso1's, Miss Mae Anderson and Mr. Raeburn Rehn. So there you have. Chief, 2,1 sorta idea of our class and the reason for our going through a stop light. Hope we don't get a ticket. ' Signed, 'I' nic jumons,

CILASS 1D lf ll QILMI 1 Hugh Moffet Nancy Burdens C ass History Following the signs along the way so as not to get lost, one hundred forty-three Freshmen joined the slave gang' at old M. H. S. One outstanding characteristic of this wonderful, up-and-coming class is that the girls outnumber the boys by only one! At the start of the year Hugh Moffet was elected president, Nancy Barclens, vice president, and Betty Armstrong, secretary-treasurer. Under these lenders, the Frosh have tied the Seniors several times for high honors on the Honor Roll. Honorable mention was given the Freshman girls' float which was entered in the Homecoming parade. Out of the twenty-three Freshman boys out for football, two of them made the varsity, which is an honor in any man's language. Another ten of our class participated in basketball and brought more honor to our class. . Of course we hate to brag .......... but the super- duper class of '49 has just lots of members in Pep Club, Girl Reserves, G. A. A., Debate, Home EC., Hi-Yi, and how would the Clipper get along without all of those green freshies with their noses for news? just you watch, you upperclussmen, pretty soon all you'll see of us will be dustl
