A. 1, 2 May 28 May 19 Iuly 2 Little did we dream when we entered, that four years later we would be enveloped in a global war and that many of our teachers and classmates would have joined armed forces, as Mr. Hunt, Mr. Piehn, Lester Dance, Iim Davidson, Lovel Liles, Dick Shields, and Moose Schiable. The war has taken not only these people from us, but it has taken also our dearly beloved gum. Yes, gum is so scarce that certain seniors scrape it off the underside of desks. It tastes almost as good as new, they say. And just look at what gas rationing has done! Fewer cars parked at the MHS curb and much less joy-riding up and down Liberty Street. The young fry are even finding enjoy- ment in home-town amusements instead of seeking them some sixty miles away, while their mothers lic awake and hope they don't get into a highway collision. 4 4 4 Page Thirteen

1945 ' qddfd and ' ' Gone is our freshman inferiority complex, gone is our sophomore sophistication. We have cast aside our junior over-confidence to enter into our senior year, an older and far wiser group fwe hopej. And as the time draws near for us to don our quaint, monklike outfits and gOOSCStCp up the aisle to the strains of the processional graduation march, we feel as a canary must feel when the door of his cage is opened. He is eager to get out, yet a little frightened at what he may find in that realm of so-called freedom. Sometimes we have felt that MHS was a cage, hampering our fun, hut now We look upon it as a protecting structure, and often in the time to come, We will realize the happiest days of our life were spent there-the theatre of many happy events and incidents. Time marches on. Ushers were teachers of 1939, as Kasik, Benoit, Whiteside, Bickenhack, Town- send, Iim Myers, Turner, Lamal and of course Mr. Newsom. Page TI4f'l'Il'C

And Gloria Allen is going to become immensely rich for her thesis on the post-war world. Also Goat Frey is going to be right in there in the RCAF giving all he's got and putting into practice everything he's been dreaming and studying about these past four years. Yes sir, he'll be Ace Frey when he comes back. Same for Melvin Terry. And Marguerite Munts will be an ace jeep driver. Barbara Wood is going to turn the First idle gas station into a riding stable. And there is Iohn Maunder who will frame a new con- stitution with mahogany wood. Iohn Penn will soon be joining the Hollywood players, now that so many of the stars are in service. So will Pat Starke become a famed dramatic actress of stage and Hollywood-a real box oflice attraction. Then there will be Harry Daily's big-name dance band Page Fourteen
