In the fall, 1 17 seniors found themselves again in the cockpit—this time Operation Graduation. Piloted by Bob Wells and co-pilots Marilyn Lanz, Judy Madden and Sybil Blumer, we set our sights for the first stop, that of Homecoming. Reigning over the victorious game and dance were Gwendolyn Shaffer and attendants Marilyn Lanz and Barbara Schultz. Co-chairmen of Homecoming events were Sybil Blumer and Francis Thorpe. As in her junior year, Donna Wenger was cheerleader, with Donald Timm the other senior squad member. James Forbes was elected president of the Student Council, and Eugene Masshardt and Jacqueline Treloar were chosen as Council representatives. Carol Schindler was again president of the Angle. Our other Angle council members were Sybil Blumer, James Forbes and Francfs Thorpe. The Bulletin was successfully published under the co-editorship of Sybil Blumer and Carol Schindler. Mrs. Gruenewald was the advisor. Our plane needed no radar to see what was in store. Time was flying by and carried with it responsibilities for the M-Book, our class play The Male Animal by James Thurber and Elliot Nugent, and of course, the end of the flight— Operation Graduation. Mildred Cotherman was chosen to edit the Annual under the guidance of Miss Roehl ,along with help from the various department editors and their staffs. R. W. Witt directed the class play The Male Animal, with the cast including: Cathy Hartman, Carol Schindler, Francis Thorpe, Thomas Goetz, Lois Burgy, David Ruehlman, Mildred Cotherman, Gordon Orians, Mildred Krauss, William Schmitz, Joel Solomon, James Hardell and Hollean Schilt. Nathan Marti was chosen as business manager. The class voted for the red rose as its flower, with crimson and silver as class colors. The class motto: Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising everytime we fall. With this in mind, the class of 1950 prepared to emerge into a new and unfamiliar world. The unfailing help and interest of three outstanding teachers, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Colder and Miss Jones has sustained us throughout our years in M.H.S.
