EXPERIENCED WORKERS The members of the faculty, with patient and personal understanding, have successfully guided the student body through another year. Their unseliish attitudes of spending many extra hours tor the stu- dents' benefit, provided much aid to various clubs and classes. They found responsibility to the greatest extent with the coming of each new day and were able to solve the many problems of the student body. Shaping today's students into tomorroW's good citizens kept these industrious individuals Working to- gether as a team throughout this year, as they have in previous years at M. T. H. S.

SPARKLING The Class of '59, consisting of eighty stu- dents, took their place as freshmen of M.T.H.S. in the fall of l955. These freshmen displayed mixed feelings at the beginning of the school year. It seemed a mighty jump from junior high to high school, but they soon adjusted themselves to high school life and became an active part of M. T. H. S. After a rough initiation day, their class, which contains a bit of brain matter, felt prepared for any obstacles which might con- front them in their high school life. The Stu- dent Council had them dressed in everything from diapers to boxes, and at an assembly later in the day, each freshman had a certain task to perform before the student body. As full-fledged members of M. T. H. S., they looked forward to entering their float, Catching a Victory, in the homecoming parade. The freshmen chose a cold, Windy night in October for their class Weiner roast at Kennel Lake. After their fill of hot dogs, cokes, potato chips, and ice cream bars, they hiked around the lake as a means of keeping Warm. The frosh social hour finished the special events of the year.
