VBMI Morton High School To You We Owe Thanks Hearing about the events and tra- ditions of Morton High School, we wanted to become a part of them. As entering freshmen, we found that a day without variety is rare. No single word can adequately des- cribe the unique atmosphere of Morton School. Social, intellectual, individual- istic, enthusiastic — Morton is all that and more. Memories will always linger of those deep searches into the foundations of truth, the fun of dances, the gla mour of homecoming, the thrill of winning, the people we met, and the teachers who have become real friends. How quickly these years have passed, leaving in their paths cherished memories of our years at Morton High School. With hope that this analysis may bring about a more vivid understanding of the basic elements that constitute MHS, we present the 1959 TOP HAT!

These are held every Monday and Wednesday evenings. “DON’T CRY; I’ll come visit you,” says Bill Carney (Laurie) trying to console Pat Dunn (Amy) after she discovers she must stay at her aunt’s house “Little Women” was presented as the 1958 MHS fall play.

Students cluster around senior counsellor Miss Groves’ desk to alter their program cards, enabling them to transfer from one class to another. HISTORY STUDENTS comprehend the fact that what we learn from man’s past ex- periences has double significance when traced beneath the present. Oral recita- tion gives students an opportunity t o de- velop good speaking techniques as well as absorb subject ma- terial, as Ron Anton is doing. Are Really Going to Study STUDENTS ARE A GREAT aid to the office personnel, for they are relieved by students who perform routine duties such as making a record of absentees and filling out admits. Roberta McGee and Rita Ko- vach offer assistance to Dennis Orr, Karen Pitzele, and Bill Banas. BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL this scene in the library is quite normal. Helpers, who put books in their proper places on the shelves and check out books, enable Miss Allman to attend to more complex duties. SHOUTID CREETINCS, bubbling conversation, and the click- ing of locker combinations characterize our halls each day as the semester progresses. Page Nine For Some, This Others, The ANTICIPATION OF A COOD LUNCH is evi- dent on the faces of these students. Morton students may either buy lunches or bring them to our cafeteria.

Judy Kominiak shows a notebook to Leonard Bissa, Martha Wolfe, and Alan Berg- FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL seventh hour is devoted to rigorous drilling and prac- ticing of formations by the band, in prepara- tion for football games. Comes Easy; For Pull is Hard The turning of the calendar to September rudely broke the lazy summer silence and once again woke us to the realities of a new term. Gone were the care- free, rollicking days of summer; school had come for another year. Then started the dreary but not too monotonous days of school life. We attended classes, lab sessions, and lectures that stretched our minds to encompass the most worthwhile thoughts of the past, present, and future. Our thoughts turned to reading, writing studying, and more studying. Day after day we fol- lowed a routine schedule, but with hardly a dull moment. Our lives will always be filled with regimen- tation, but no doubt the routine of our high school years will be best of all. WITH SQUADS drilling, bands practicing, and gym classes cheering their teams on, Ed Guzis finds it hard to concentrate in his seventh hour study hall. IT’S EASY to concen- trate on studies and at- tend to a monitor post as well, so Pat Weiss discovers. Monitors are required to maintain at least a C average. Pag e Eleven FOR SOPHOMORES spring fever incites “bug” collect- ing. Brenda Silkwood and Lucian Heacock have just added a Monarch butterfly to their accumulation of insects. Challenges of Demand More As late as 1957 Americans were lulled into a sleepy nonchalance, believing that we were the No. 1 nation of the world. The Russian’s launching of Sputnick I, in late 1957, shocked us into the dreadful reality that maybe we were not No. 1 after all — at least not in the field of science. This awakening caused Ameri- cans to look to the future and to today’s American youth. Science courses were stressed, scholarships were offered, and the vocational field of science was publicized more than ever before. Morton was no exception. So, because of the accelerated missile and outer-space programs of other nations, the United States has stepped up its program of science study in the high schools; and Morton High will continue to interest its students in the field of science. THE KNOWLEDGE OF the functions of the human body is very important to our every- day lives, and we at Morton are fortunate to have our own man of bones and organs, dub- bed Hector, to study. Bob Holloway, M r . Rasmussen, Bobbie Sue Yarbro, and Sharon Mieras are discussing the in- tricate parts of the human anatomy. Page Twelve a New Era of Scientists HEADS OR TAILS? Bill Schmid finds that heads and tails equalize as he demonstrates the law of probability. His science project automatically flips and counts coins. A BOTTLE OF HYDROCEN gas plus a lighted match equals poof! Chemistry can be dangerous, but usually is safe as well as informative. Mr. Wickersham, Richard Austin, Larry Irvin, and Mr. Frazee are attempting to free chlorine gas from its compounds. EQUILIBRIUM. FORCE A, force B, and either under- standing or confusion emerge from Mr. Came ' s talk on resultant forces. One of the interesting idiosyncrasies evolving from his lectures is. Will you please pick that up and drag it past again?” A Welcome Phrase ♦ ♦ . .. -H ' W7 ff ® W i f Pi i .....i J v; V- 1 1 MM ' Or n a - H M 4 DURING OUR FOUR-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM, the English Department utilizes these textbooks and novels to broaden literary scopes and impregnate correct grammatical usage into the minds of the student body. JUDY COTTERELL AND |UNITA BRADY concentrate on. the Kuder Preference Test, which, administered annually to juniors, enables students to choose on occupational field suitable to their talents and abilities. LEONARD KAZCKA’S LUDICROUS SMILE in Miss Davis’ English III class proves that English may be fun as well as educational. English courses enable students to appreciate the strength, dignity, and beauty of the English language. They give each student something to say and the ability to say it clearly and grace- fully; they give each student something to hear and open the pathways to the various means of acting upon it. Four years of English are offered at Morton, with three years required for graduation. Page Fourteen We Understand” MISS NARCISI TELLS her Spanish students about the El Camino Real, The Royal Road to Knowledge.” The first year of Latin acquaints the students with the grammatical funda- mentals, with emphasis placed on sentence translation and vocabulary study. The second year deals with the translation of historical accounts of Rome. Spanish students learn customs along with the study of the language. In the first year the emphasis is placed on gram- mar and vocabulary building. The second year is devoted to translation, and Spanish is spoken entirely in class to give the stu- dents practice in Spanish loquacity. THE WELL-KNOWN “X” helps remind Latin stu- dents who refuse to project their voices of the importance of good speech techniques in all classes. Mr. Ruff gives Ruth Luddy the “full penalty when she couldn’t be heard during recitation. Page Fifteen The World of Business is Ever Expanding POTENTIAL SECRETARIES need to know the technique of typing for use in future employment. Then they strive to increase both their accuracy and speed. Linda Sain is tran- scribing a letter she has taken in shorthand. LEARNING COOD CO-ORDINATION of the fingers takes time, as members of the clerical practice class soon discover. Students learn how to operate office machines in this class. IN THE SIMULATED ATMOSPHERE of a shoe store, Floyd MacDonald is selling a pair of shoes to Jill- Listen- berger, while Ken MacDonald looks on. Salesmanship V class presents general merchandising principles as well as teaching students good tech- niques of buying and selling. Pag S� xt n Training For Citizen Responsibility AROUND THE WORLD in two se- mesters is the theme of this geography class. Finding that locating places studied makes the course more in- teresting are Cary Puett, Frank Yates, Ed Heindricks, Sue Krohmann, Mari- lyn Mayden, and teacher, Mr. Nelson. IN SOCIOLOCY VIII Mr. Croucher guides students in objec- tive thinking about the relationship of people of all cultures to our society. THE GOVERNMENT CLASSES spent an afternoon at the City Hall to learn the role of various city departments in relation to the over-all functioning of our city government. Studying a map of the Hammond area are Jerry Francis, Judy Svenning- sen, and Ann Pecelin. Morton’s Varied Curriculum MUNCHING COOKIES sounds good to Pat Re- linski, if she can wait till Marlene Rosek and Bon- nie Scheffer finish baking them in M iss Martine’s foods class. WHILE MR. ROBERT FRASER wisely supervises, the lathes turn round and round under the control of the skillful hands of Alvin Travis and Andrew Marlow in shop. The enticing aroma of appetizing food filters through the hall as home economics students, male and female, learn the basic fundamentals of the preparation of meals. Meanwhile, in the sew- ing department, girls learn the useful art of making clothes. They begin with elementary patterns and eventually make more difficult gar- ments, including coats and suits. The home management and home nursing courses prepare girls for marriage, presenting the fundamentals of child care and other activities a young home- maker will encounter. The practical arts department offers courses in mechanical drawing, wood shop, and in job and trades to give students sufficient background knowledge to choose their occupational field in accordance with their abilities and interests. Provides All-Over Knowledge ART ISN ' T AS EASY as it looks and much time and effort is poured into the aspiration? of becoming a ' good artist. ,Ed Kliza, Joe Rossi, and Russel Boyle are working on drawings as Mr. Wauro scans their work. THE BLAZERETTES: accompanist Carole Eichelberger, Milly Tubich, Cail Zea, and Ruth Fisher are the first Morton choral group to have matching outfits. They entertained us at auditorium sessions and concerts, and sang at the senior- faculty banquet. SPEECH CLASS employs some unusual props, as Ed Johnston illustrates. He is demonstrating the recurve hickory bow. Page Nineteen 1 •« Kf. : . ' One of the proud praises told of Morton School is the co-operation and the unity of its student body. Without the unselfish giving of time and the efforts of many students working together, most dreams and ideals would never become real. Here we are given the chance to obtain satisfaction of service through our voluntary organizations which build morale, scholarship, sportsmanship, and offer career guidance. As well as being of service to others, we have fun and recreation in our clubs. Thus they are well-balanced and acutely regarded by all. We hope to sustain our fine reputation, for we shall forever be indebted to the clubs that have taught us qualities of leadership and service that will be invaluable in our adult lives.

FRONT ROW: Photo- graphy Editor Richard Austin and Editor-in- Chief Judy Thomas. “Will it be a success?” was the prominent ques- tion in the minds of the annual personnel. Time and talent were freely given for the anticipated result of a well-formed yearbook. Judy Thomas and Ken O’Neal attended a jour- nalism institute at Indiana University last summer for two weeks. Here they planned the entire annual, including layouts, copy, and picture ideas. Deadlines, layouts, and financial blues combined with photographic details and copy worries made time a precious gem. Occasionally someone ended up in the corner for not completing a job, but co-operation was the key word that kept the wheels turning and the printer on the job. UNDER THE DIRECTION of Business Manager Sandy Pelhank, these homeroom salesmen handled the sale of all yearbooks. BACK ROW: Linda Hart, Linda Klein, Sally McClure, Linda Liming, and Linda Schmitt.

The sharp crack of a gun, the shrill cry of a referee’s whistle, and the umpire’s words, “play , ball” all symbolize the tr aditions of an athletic event. Vital ingredients for these sports contests are — speculation, suspense, arf the eager expecta- tions of a cheering crowd as Biey pull together to encourage, ' our team on itsMorward march.

SCATBACK” MARTELL ROYER bursts through defense and stages a spectacular touchdown run. Gallant Morton Team A spirited Morton team fought its way to a 4-5 record this season, twice falling short of making it a winning season. The Governor eleven won their first two games from Clark and Tech by decisive scores of 18-0 and 26-6 respectively. In a rugged game with Thornton Frac- tional, they failed to make it three in a row by losing a close one 27-20. This was the first of two tight games which they lost. The boys made it 3-1 by defeating Whiting’s Oilers 20-13. A four game losing streak was begun by Morton with a crushing 41-13 defeat at the hands of Bishop Noll. A great second-half rally against a strong East Chicago Roosevelt team proved futile, as it fell short for Morton’s second straight defeat and second heartbreaker 37-31. With a 3-3 record, our our Governors traveled to Goshen, only to be tripped 21-6. The last of Morton’s drubbings came from un- beaten cross-town rival Hammond High. This power- laden team ran up a one-sided 52-7 score.

Three Governors who represented Morton in the Re- gionals were Martell Royer in the 880 yard dash, Ray White in the shot put, and John Bailor in the mile run. During the regular season our Governors won only one meet, beating Hammond Clark 60-49. At the Hobart Relays the two mile relay team of Royer, Tomsic, Fisher, and Bailor broke the standing record of 8:51.5 minutes. They covered the two miles in 8:41.7 minutes, almost ten sec- onds better than the record.

Though Morton’s grap- plers started slow, dropping their first three matches, they ended the season with a blaze 6f glory, winning all three of their final matches.

Page Sixty-nine Social life at MHS will remain vividly in the minds of many of us for some years to come. Our achievements reveal the story of gayiety and com- panionship that will leave a memorable impression upon us forever. The daily routine, continually being broken by some deviation of activity; the parties and dances, at which some of us seem to spend most of our time; the student center; fun night; auditorium sessions; the Washington trip; and the senior play were all bright spots in our lives as students. Our high school years will be recalled as the happiest of our lives, and we hope to pass along some joy and happiness to the future generations of Morton students. Morton’s Many Varied MORTON ITES spend some of their free time either dancing or watch- ing in the student cen- ter, and whatever the activity, there’s fun for all. The student center is entirely financed and controlled by the Morton School Student Associa- tion. A BREAK FROM THE ROUTINE of school is pro- vided in the student center where we can dance, watch television, study, play games, or just plain loaf.” Students often spend lunch hours playing table games, and here Bruce Kitchell, Flo Hart, and Richard Pollard are intent on a game of chess. Page Seventy-two Activities Add MARCH FROLIC, sponsored by the Senior Y-Teens, gave students an opportunity to use their ingenuity. Bob Morris and Maggie Lee appear o be enjoying the dance as two spectators display the latest fashions for tots. to the Whole A LITTLE FRENCH CAFE provided an appropriate atmosphere for the dance, EVENINC IN PARIS, sponsored by the biology club. Mr. Rasmussen acts as waiter to Bill Anderson. Pat Bloom, and Alan Bergman. MUSIC BY EDDIE SEARS and his band gave students a memorable evening of en- tertainment at the Second Annual Inaugural Ball. The Association adorned the hall with an enormous top hat, a familiar symbol to every Governor. Page Seventy-three Sno School ♦ ♦ Snow! SNOW-CLAD evergreens i n Morton’s courtyard fashioned a dramatic sil- houette during the win- ter’s worst snow storm. For the first time in almost twenty years, Hammond schools were closed be- cause of snow. A winter blizzard left many an awesome and breath-taking scene. At school the panorama of a sculp- tured snowcase was captured in all its radiant beauty and elegance. Forms and shapes intricate patterns and designs, clothed in a blanket of snow, dominated the landscape. Looking upon this winter wonderland, one could visualize perfec- tion, for each snow scene created a unique pattern! Page Seventy-four Lots of Work, But Loads of Fun POPCORN, PEANUTS, AND PIGSKIN PASSES add up to enjoyment at football games. Jim Hayden is distributing pop- corn at a concession stand. THE 1959 MORTON SCHOOL MARDI CRAS started with a cafeteria-style dinner, and everyone enjoyed the many games and contests of the evening. Martel I Royer and Bonnie Scheffer were crowned King and Queen of the Mardi Gras at the talent show. A dance in the gym provided a memorable finale for the occasion. At left are Terry Gaughan, Diane Bradford, and Larry Overstreet constructing props for the fish pond.

Page Seventy-seven Joy Became Tears at Sectionals THE “BIC AND LITTLE GOVERNORS” get acquainted before the start of the sec- tionals. Morton students made a good showing at the forty-eighth an- nual IHSAA sectional basketball tournament by donning red and white to form a colorful cheering block around an M made of athletes wearing their sweaters. Mums were provided the stu- dents by the Booster Club. Bob Hays, our “little Governor,” and Dennis Orr, our “Big Governor,” welcomed the team in the true Morton spirit and helped cheer them to victory and gayety dur- the Tech game. The final score was 79-61. EXPRESSIONS OF JOY were evident after the Tech game, but turned to tears after a loss in a close game against the Griffith Panthers. A PEP-O- METER recorded our cheering as we “made the rafters ring” with sectional anticipation. Page Seventy-eight A Lot Was Crammed Into Six Short Days DIPICTINC THE SPLENDOR and magnificence of the American way, the Capitol Building In Washington, D.C., stands boldly and mightly, illuminated in the night. Morton students learned that the flag always flies atop the Capitol Building, even at night and through storms, symbolizing the undying ideals of the freedom that we possess.

Spotlight On ♦ ♦ ♦ Little Women JO (SALOME BARTOSl RE- JOICES over Beth’s (Linda Hart) apparent recovery from scarlet fever. Beth’s death levies a morose de- jection upon Jo as the play progresses. The March family — proper Meg, tomboy Jo, helpful Beth, artistic Amy, understanding Marmee, and philosophical Father — were portrayed in the fall play “Little Women”. The joys and sorrows of the family are shared by Laurie, the boy next door. Crusty Grandfather Laurence is won over by Beth, to whom he becomes “guardian angel”. Laurie’s tutor, John Brooke, falls in love with Meg, but without the aid of crochety Aunt March he might never have won her. The rehearsal for the Christmas play, Beth’s death scene, Professor Bhaer’s proposal under the umbrella all combined to produce a story that was vivid and alive. The twins, Daisy and Dennis, contributed to the action! “TWINS, BY JUPITER Take ’em quick, somebody, or I shall drop them,” exclaims Lorrie (Bill Carney) in the fall play. Meg (Sarah Skelton) comes to the rescue as Amy (Pat Dunn) and John Brooks (Sam Flitar) express only open- mouthed apprehension. Page Eighty Seniors Present . . . The Thirteenth Chair HELEN O ' NEILL (Kathy Hindmarch) appears to be on trial, as Rosalie La- Grange (Salome Bartosl and Will Crosby (Bill Carney! try to influence the opinion of Inspector Donahue (Steve Hawkins). Helen is unwillingly re- strained by Sergeant Doolan (Jim Soltau) and Sergeant Dunn (Andy Marek) . The mystery production, The Thir- teenth Chair, was one of the highlights of the year for seniors, who worked dili- gently to make the play a thriller. Twelve members of a dinner party became involved in a mystic seance, over which Madam Rosalie LaGrange (Sa- lome Bartos), the thirteenth member of the group, presided. One of the guests, Edward Wales (Stan Batwinski), was murdered. Inspector Tim Donahue (Steve Haw- kins) arrived on the scene and was in- formed that all doors and windows were locked; one of the twelve people present was the murderer. Through a tense, un- easy sequence of events, Inspector Don- ahue concluded that Helen O’Neill (Kathy Hindmarch) was the murderess. Feeling that Miss O’Neill was unjustly accused, Will Crosby (Bill Carney) and Madame LaGrange set out to discover the real murderer. By playing upon fears and superstitions through mystic tricks Madame LaGrange uncovered the real murderer, Philip Mason (Bill Papier). INSIDE LOCKED DOORS medium Rosalie La- Grange (Salome Bartosl conducts a seance as the dinner party guests await the arrival of the spirits. Spotlight On Snowflake Fantasy ON THE SNOW-FLAKE DECORATED STACE in St. Michael’s Hall, Paul Louise and his band pro- vide wonderful dancing music for the Winter Formal. “Snowflake Fantasy” was the theme of the Winter Formal, held at St. Michael’s Hall on January 17, 1959. Students swirled under a canopy of twinkling blue lights and silvery snowflakes. Tables were decorated with miniature snowmen, and ornamented trees provided the setting for couples who wanted photographs as a token of a memorable evening. The decorations were so im- pressive that they were used by two other groups for parties. Everyone who attended will always remember the wonderful winter night for dancing. MRS. BONEBRAKE, one of the sponsors of the senior class, conducts the Grand March, in which all the couples par- ticipated. Page Eighty-two COMPLETELY INDUCED by the hypnotic suggestions of Dr. Morton Creene, Dennis Orr, Bob Russell, and Richard Florence react to an emotional movie at the after-prom party. An enchanting “Isle of Dreams” was presented by the junior class on May 16, at St. Michael’s Ukranian Hall. Lazy blue clouds looked down upon a misty blue island pool surrounded by palm trees. Boys in white or blue jackets and girls in formals of all colors danced to the music of Johnny Nowland and his band. The after-prom party, “Dreams and Memories”, was held at the Woodmar Country Club. The Diplomats provided dancing music. Tables were adorned with red tea roses. After dinner impressionist Gloria Alton presented some humorous impersonations. Dr. Morton Greene, in concluding the entertainment, used Mor- ton students in a fascinating explanation and exhibiti on of hypnotism. At the evening’s end everyone attend- ing was happy with lingering memories of the “Isle of Dreams.” Page Eightythre -e of Dreams” SWIRLINC AMIDST PALM TREES, beneath billowy clouds, couples are enchanted with the south sea island atmosphere.

Our Last Weeks Came All To Soon Climaxing four eventful high school years, the seniors designated the last week to fun and frollicking. Sun glasses and flashy clothes were worn on Monday. Tuesday kept the girls ‘ hopping” to open doors for the fellows in obser- vance of girls’ courtesy day, and co-operation was in- evitable because it was also silence day. Short white skirts and navy blouses adorned the girls on Wednesday, while the boys wore navy slacks and white shirts in observance of senior cord day. On Thursday the seniors took their final examinations. Friday the senior class presented their farewell assembly and donated a silver crown to be worn by the successive homecoming queens. Our last week came all too soon, and with mixed emo- tions the seniors marched from the auditorium to a final day of high school classes. The end of a memorable year drew rapidly to a close, and another class moved on to greater heights on the ladder of success. TOLD ME to ask you to the prom,” states Salome Bartos entitled, ' P M? ptace n inter e ' ° CIRLS; COURTESY DAY paid off” for Dennis Churilla and Jim Arcella, although Carole Eichelberger isn’t too happy with her delegated task. Since it is also senior silence day, however, she has to contend with the situation. Page The Senior-Faculty Banquet of 1959 was held April 8 at Teibel’s restaurant. Each table was decorated with a candle and a Japanese fan, and at the speakers’ table was a cen- terpiece of gold chrysanthemums. Mr. R. B. Miller, of the school board, was guest speaker of the evening. After-dinner entertainment was pre- sented by members of the senior class. The Blazerettes, the senior girls’ trio, sang two numbers, followed by a clar- inet duet with Sarah Skelton and Janet Baker. A humorous excerpt titled “My Place in Society” was pre- sented by Salome Bartos. A touch of humor was then added by fortune cookies, which predicted the future of some of the seniors. Later in the evening an oriental dance was pre- sented by Pat Bloom and Linda Johnson. Eighty-four Seniors Ascend the Ladder of Success With tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts, 183 seniors received their diplomas at the commence- ment exercises on June 9. For some it meant the be- ginning of future vocational training; for others it meant marriage or a career. As the seniors thought back to the gaiety, com- panionship, and educational opportunities of their high school years, they found memories that they shall carry with them for many years to come. As graduates they will al- ways cherish those memor- able moments; but they real- ize that greater challenges lay ahead, challenges for which they were adequately prepared by the students, teachers, and administrators of M.H.S. Ju McMoriam Flags were flown at half mast for four days when Superintendent of Schools Lee L. Caldwell passed away on June 1. As Hammond expanded the many complex prob- lems of school administration have grown more in- tense. Through these years of growth, Mr. Caldwell continued to devote his life to the building and expanding of our educational system. Many of us lost a close friend; all of us lost a leader to whom we could look for guidance and friendship. He possessed the dignity of a man of high esteem. We who remain to remember him are proud to recall the story of his success and to say, “He was truly a great man.” A schoo framework individuals are the bri learn; the active par learning fi sibilities i man; the their fina our respec dents go ( [s strength lies not in its structi 1 its symbols, or its equipment; but the foundation of Morton High.

The qualities of a true leader are found in Betty Sue Zitko, valedictorian of the Class of 1959 and winner of the D. A. R. award. She is a member of the varsity debate team and with Sheilia Virag, Kathy Hindmarch, and Gary Werskey won the state debate championship. The team will attend the national debate tournament in Florida this June. The Arion Award for outstanding service in the band was presented to Janet Baker. Jim Arcella is salutatorian of the Class of 1959.

Page One Hundred Two Juniors: A Step Forward In Intellectual and Personal Growth The JUNIOR CLASS launched their first year as upperclassmen with a ribbon sale that netted over one thousand dollars. This campaign served to finance the Jun- ior-Senior Prom, Isle of Dreams , which was presented as a far-off island of happiness. Students in Composition V class dis- covered latent potential talents as a result of the annual Kudar Preference Test. This test was a deciding factor in planning fu- ture careers. The juniors really sensed the prestige of being upperclassmen when their class rings arrived, and visions of their senior year served to enliven everyone as Father Time marched on. THIS YEAR’S JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS are Secretary-Treasurer Carol Pop, President Nancy Feldt, and Vice President David Wollin.

Being able to “boss” the freshmen gives them a feeling of distinction, but they are still friendly and helpful to all who seek their aid or advice. As the year progresses, their lives are bright- ened by the appearance of new friends, new faces and fun. They look forward to daily classes where current events and happenings are discussed. New sophomores become accustomed to classes, and school life becomes “second nature” to them. The monotony of study is broken by social life. Fun and merriment are first on the agenda of dances, sports, and interesting club activities, making the sophomore year an im- portant milestone in the student’s journey through high school.

Buy next year’s TOP HAT A record of your High School career Edited by your High School classmates Page One Hundred Forty-eight About the Top Hat Dear Reader: “Time waits for no man,” and so it was with our senior year. Time has forced an end to the all too short senior year of the Class of 1959, leaving us filled with knowledge of people and things and taking us on to broader fields. I have been privileged this year to represent you, the students, in the formation of a visible evidence of the wealth of experiences we have gained at MHS. I, however, could not have accom- plished this task alone. Realizing that effective publication requires co-operative effort, the annual staff worked un- ceasingly to produce a bigger, better yearbook, even coming to school on Saturdays, during holidays, and during the days that school was closed because of snow. The advertising salesmen sold over $2,000 worth of ads, enabling us to have a $4,800 budget. Miss Lynda Mertz kept all financial records for the yearbook, and the homeroom salesmen sold 140 more yearbooks than last year. The Photo Club, under the direction of J. H. Rasmussen, made most of the pictures for the TOP HAT, and was on hand at every scholastic, athletic, and social event. Our printer, Emerson DeLaney, permitted us to send in our pictures just a week before our book was distributed, so that we could include commencement and still deliver the TOP HAT on the last day of school. Mrs. Helen Stock was always ready to give us advice about copy, pictures, layouts, and finances. She was more than an advisor; she has become a true friend to. each of us. To those I have mentioned, and to all the other innumerable people who have helped make the 1959 TOP HAT a success, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation for your services and most profound congratulations for your achievements.
