THIRTY-SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE JUNIOR CLASS ARE READY TO CARRY ON IN 1938-39 It was in the year 1935 that 44 of us enrolled as Freshmen to climb the hill to the '39 graduation. C. H. Summers received the honor of being our first president, Verne Purcell, vice-president, Frank DuBree, treasurer, and Albert Mohler, secretary. During our Sophomore year, after the opening of school, we again voted. This time C. H. Summers was re-elected president, Mary Townsend, vice-president, Payne Harris, treasurer, and Robert Clapp, secretary. Some of us helped serve at the junior- Senior Banquet to see what it was all about and get some ideas. The fall of 1937 found us re-entering dear old M. C. H. S. as Juniors. In the annual class election we chose Albert Mohler to take the throne of president and guide us through our most difficult year. Sally Phillips, as vice president, Ernest Lohr, treasurer, and Blossom Bacopulos, secretary. Albert, The Great, called in his prime ministers, Felts and Fink, and after some discussion proclaimed that we could have a masquerade Halloween party. There was everything present at this party from ghosts to clowns, but it was Mary Ellen Cox who hobbled in Cpoor old ladyj and walked away with first prize. Under the supervision of Miss Hussey and Miss Turner we gave our Junior Class play, Heart Trouble,'l on Friday December 6, 1937. We had a capacity crowd in spite of the weather, and we were all very proud of the chosen cast. We are now in the last lap of our junior year and are looking forward with great anticipation to the junior-Senior Banquet.
