TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE FORWARD CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES HUMOR ADVERTISEMENTS AUTOGRAPHS i CLASS HISTORY An empty ship slowly drifted into the harbor, unmanned, with as yet no cargo and lacking all officers. The remainder of last year's crew eyed her in cool disdain, but with increas- ing interest as the new men crowded aboard her and each took his separate place. Not a ghost ship now--her crew was eager and enthusiastic and soon her decks were laden with the promise of a great deal to come. That first year was rather uneventful, spent almost entire- ly in learning the ropes, and 30 the crew of MHS � 37 steered a clear course under the guidance of Ben Lind, Skipper; First Mate, Gladys Ray; Quarter-master, Bessie Baker; Chief Engineers, Cecelia Olson • nd Jack Webb, and charted by Mrs. Young and Mr. Trail. As evidence of good seamanship and strict adherence to duties they were presented with the citizenship cup at the end of the journey, and all hands took shore leave, a few less than had been signed and a few more picked up along the route. The journey of the second year was more or less prepar- atory. During shore leave a party was given exclusively for the crew, and the voyage ended in a picnic wherein we bid fare- well to our charters, Mr. Howell and Miss Dietrich. Under the Captain, Harry Bound, with the aid of First Mate, Jack ..ebb; Second Mate, Cecelia Olson; Quarter-Master, Vivian Main; and Chief Engineers, Marian Murray and Russel Odell, they docked after a voyage filled with the usual squalls and fair weather of high school ship-mates. Second class seaman tool: the helm of MJIS ’37 in the years '35 and '33 and showed their mettle. Skipper, Vance Curtiss took the wheel for the beginning of the voyage, but was called to a distant port. 1st mate, Irene Jenkins, took over the helm and was unfortunate enough to be blessed with mutiny. Premed- itated mutiny it was, with an inevitable outcome for all who took A.V'.O.L. Six hours in the brig with reduced rations and withdrawn privileges. Undaunted by this upheaval and with the assistance of 2nd Mate Charlotte Keech; Quarter-master Vivian Main; and Chief Engineers Frances Biderbost and Russel Odell, we were allowed our class clay, and presented Climbing Roses which was followed by the farewell banquet in honor of the mem- bers leaving ship. The MH3 '37 was brought to the close of the course charted by Mr. Summers and Mr3. HacDougall. After trials and tribulations we were ful 1-fledged tars, then, with a yen for the open sea. Set in full sail and manned by the best crew ever to brave a monsoon, the MHS '37 was off to a flying start. '«Vith an old hand at the wheel, Skipper Harry Bound, the vessel was bound to conquer the heaving sea. Despite a racing tide and freshening gales the worthiness of 1st Mate, Gordon Donovan; 2nd Mato, Cecelia Olson; Quarter- master, Ban Lind; and chief Engineers, Leonard Monoske and Marjorie Axelson, brought high honors to the ship and crew. The course set by the charts of Coach Bates and Miss Faulkner brought the vessel through all storms on schedule. In return for our service we were given a banquet and we in turn gave a ball 33 a last meeting of our crew before dis- i embarking. Toward the end of the voyage wo gave Seven Iveys to Baldpate for our final dramatic presentation. As a reward of worthy seamanshin, the 1st class seamen received their decorations of Irmor for Valor at Sea. t Betsy Alexander Hi-Tye Art 4 Library Marjorie Axelson M Club 3-4 Board of Control 4 Annual Bessie Baker Student Body Book Store Mgr.

At the fir3t meeting. Boh Dennis was elected president; Bud Streisguth, vice-president; Arlene Hathaway, treasurer;and Dorothy Steffen, secretary. Tom Sawyer, the Junior play, was a great success. In May a banquet was given in honor of the departing Seniors. The caf- eteria room was beautifully decorated in keeping with the Deep Sea theme. Members of the class have been active in school activities. Six girls were on the M Club, while several of the boys have earned their first team letters in football and basketball. Mr. Summers and Mr3. MacDougall were class advisors. SOPHOMORE S For the year 1936, sixty-six students were enrolled in the Sophomore class. The officers elected for the year were; President, Neva Martell; Vice-president, John Whitaker Secretary and Treasurer, Margaret Clarin. The class advisors v.'ere Mr. Richardson and Miss Robinson. This was an accive group and they had many activities, in sc.j-ool ac well as out. During their class meetings they enioved several speakers, and presented programs for other classes as wen as the Student Body. Somo of the students also appeared outside of school and were very successful. The class was also well represented in snorts ipated in football, basketball, tennis and track. ' and partic- FRESHME N The outstanding ambition of the Freshman’s life is to re- ceive his diploma, and most of the Freshmen are well on their way toward that goal. Many are looking forward to becoming mem- bers ox the Torch oociety, but still tno upper classmen think thorn deserving of the phraso just dumb FroshJ Their class meetings have been enlivenod by fine programs 3resented by various entertainment committees, but the upper 2lassos Lave had nothing to fear from them in athletics, although Dutstanding individual work has boon done. If they wore to take inventory of things they have acquired .n the past nine months, they would probably find that altho-- h -hoy have had a groat deal to do with the lighter side of life -hoy have also achieved enough to send them on toward their goal. Desolate and lone All night long on the lake Where fog trails and mist creeps The whistle of a boat Calls and cries unendingly Like some lost child In tears and troubles Hunting the harbor's breast And the harbor’s eyes. Carl Sandburg BOARD OF CONTROL The Board of Control, which is the governing body of the Monroe Union High School consists of twelve members. The Board supported all the activities of the school.

Max Clemens, John Sjolander, and Leonard Manoske. In this first edition it has been the earnest desire of the staff to include an account of all the major activities, events, md p ctures of the past year, to serve you as an accurate and .nteresting reminder of your classmates and friends. The Hayu Saghalie is entirely self-supporting, as well as ;he newspaper, and both enterprises have a group of enthusiastic students, eager to ensure its continued success. The Hi-Tye, the school newspaper edited by the Senior English class, was a new project just started this year under the supervision of Mr. Summers.

The plot deals with the trials of a younger sister in a home, who has to take the brunt of everything tho older daughter chooses to give her. Tho manner in which The Patsy finally wins the man she loves, and comes into her rightful place in the family, works up to a fitting and delightful conclusion.

Plans for the new manuscript are impeded greatly by myster- ious visitors in tie dead of night, murciers, and the final in- volvement of a great deal of money, but the manner of the com- pletion of the important novel brings about a unique and entirely different ending. In order to obtain the proper effects, it was necessary to arrange the stage setting in an entirely different manner and to provide many adjustments in the sound and lighting properties. gS I J I ' 1 I;� ly y,1 ['■ t § fi iisji I s i VOL XIIIIII))76 MONROE UNION HI March 41, 1957 Ho: (Praising her poetically) Darling, you look like an old Rombrar.dt, Sho: is that so.

Jane Anne: What are you doing----proposing? [PADDY HAD NO WIFE. All his life he had been the miserable outcast orphan of a miserable outcast family of river rats--shunned, despised, and puffeted by everyone. I Naturally misshapen and grotesque in appearance, little Paddy had never had a chance, and starvation and hard usage had taken their toll upon his character, if ho ever had one, as well as upon his physical appearance. As a little boy, paddy could remember the other children of the squalid shanty houses turning from him in disgust when he tried to join their games, and the townspeople staring at him when he talked down the dirty streets. All his life he had been a human curiosity—mocked, jeered, scorned, and feared, but never loved--no one wept for Paddy. Of course the inevitable outcome of such an existence 'was to seek the company of people so distorted in mind and morales that they didn’t find anything grotesque. Life was just a haze and fantasy to be flung arfddo when so thoroughly misused that its very thought was a gnawing cancor; cheap, gawdy, and filthy, and Paddy was the worst of sill. At any time of the day or night you could find him frequent- ing the bars of the public houses. He never worked. He didn’t have to, for ho always had plenty of monoy, although no one knew from whore it came. Finally the day arrived when business didn’t go so well— Paddy was a rat, a squealer, and gangs have a way of attending to phom. Ho was driven away from his usual haunts and life went on us before. No one missed him or knew that he was gone. They wouldn’t have cared if they had, and ho sank to even lower depths Phan before. Unable to govern his own weak mental capacity, he was never u loader of others, and gang after gang rejected him as unfit for ven their lowly refuges. He could not long exist alone in his hady pursuits and remain free of blame, and it was not long un- til he finally peered at his quoer, warped world from bohind the Ipars of tho stato prison. Paddy began to loarn. There were Eon thoro, hardened crim- inals, who wept in their colls under the sheltering cover of darkness—there wore wives and swcothoarts that hauntod tho rot- unda wook after week, until it was of no use to como again. There wero days upon days of the dreary halls echoing with the steady sound of worry foot, tho watchful guards, moss, and tho work providod for every inmate. And at tho end of tho day there was a cot in a lonesome coll, behind tho locks reserved for this typo of human degeneration. Men came in as cell-partners, and v?ere paroled, leaving no impression on tho monotony of Paday's life, but they brought pictures with them. Smiling photos of pretty girls, the innocent face of a baby, and portraits of loving wives. Thin one day a nervously-joyful boy came eagerly back from the parole office and announced that he was leaving soon. Paddy could stand it no longer, and as tho time dr -w nearer ho grew more reticent and morose than before. Thoro was a photo on the table by the boys� cot...a tinted picture of a lovely girl. Her head was tilted back to expose tho rounded softness of her throat, and as ho watched it Paddy thought ho could almost soe the pulse boat gently thoro. And she was smiling--not laughing at him or turning away in disgust, but smiling a little mistily and tenderly as if sho understood and would havo liked to help him. Ho couldn’t boar to part with hor. That night when tho cell-block was still and tho inmates wore supposed t bo asleep, ho carefully gathered the picture to him, and socrotod it down in tho covers of his mattress. He had nevor dono things in any other way. The next evening tho lad was gone, and a new one soon took his placo. This timo tho photo was of an oldorly lady—grey haired and a. little trembly, but Paddy didn't mind. On the other end of tho table stood his picture, bearing tho simple in- scription Lovingly, your wifTT7’’ --Bessie Baker PATRONIZE YOUR ADVERTISERS Select the Graduation Gift here � Beet Wishes Per Graduating Class NELSON, THE JEWELER NEWELL'S Lowest Prices Available Freezer-Fresh Ice Cream Complete Optical Service Distinctive Tailoring Laundry Service DR.
