MHS SALUTATORY Welcome, friends, to the last appearance of our class as a whole. This commencement is the culmination of twelve years of work under the guidance of a capable staff of teachers. We are thankful to these people for the help they have offered us, help which we have at times foolishly dis- regarded. Only time itself will make us realize how inter- ested these teachers were and are in our personal welfare. Through the advice and guidance of our teachers our petty problems have been successfully straightened out whenever they presented themselves. We feel that we also owe a great debt of gratitude to our parents and the people of the com- munity who through their encouragement and financial aid have made it possible for us to obtain an education. Through the community's desire for the finest education possible, we have an educational system that we may be proud of, one that is improving more and more as time goes on. Our school years will probably be the most enjoyable years of our lives, much more enjoyable than any of us will realize for some time. It is not that wo have purposely dis- regarded this happiness, nor have we been ungrateful, but our lives have been occupied with striving to fill these speedily passing hours with as mnny activities as is pos- sible. We have never fully grasped the full extent of our happiness until these last few hours of our senior year. After our graduation we face a whole new world--a world that is over changing, one which challenges us to become citizens of which our teachers and friends may be proud. If we have the courage to make 4 place in the world for oursel- ves and are ever striving to do our best, we will in some respect be able to repay our friends for the aid and kind- ness they have given us. Our aim in the future is to set up high our goal. When we gain our goal we hope to be citizens worthy of having graduated from Montgomery-Township High School. I thank you, parents, teachers, school board and friends, for the help and encouragement you have given us in all our activities and achievements. ----John Swihart .n-mln,

These, Our Juniors N the year 1938-1939 the present Junior Class started making preparations for a four year climb with thirty-two eager and ambitious students. The following oHicers were elected: Bill Ohler, Presi- dent, Ray Ward, Vice President, Phyllis Heminger, Secretary, Richard Riley, Treasurer, Doris June Hedge, Cheerleader, Don Babcock, Student Council. The American Beauty Rose was chosen as our class Hower, and Knowledge Is The Gateway To Success was chosen as our motto. Our class poem was as follows: There must be something which we build Outlasting treasure lost or gained, So if our dreams be unfulfilled True character may still remain. Knowledge, the gateway to success, As taught within Montgomery's walls Will never fail to meet the tests That life brings to us one and all. So we the Class of '42 Though we may not win wealth or fame, Will build our character on truth Knowing success is thus attained. Two of our members received second in the scholar- ship tests held at Bowling Green. They were: Betty June Guard in Biology and Ellen Shaffer in Algebra. Others taking the scholarship tests were: Margaret Phillips, Algebra, Doris June Hedge, English, Hester Overmyer, Latin I, and Mary Crawfoot, Biology.

Early this fall the class enjoyed a hayride followed by a wiener roast in Overmyer's woods. Late in October everyone was happy to receive his class ring. Many of the students were in the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs contests held at Bowling Green State Uni- versity.
