MORRIS-SONIAN Glass History We the class of '46 wish to take this opportunity to tell you about our high school days. Let's take an imaginary trip back through our high school days, and what do we see first? Of course! The Pioneers, the members of our class who have begun and ended their school career here. The Pioneers include such members as Louise Carroll, Ernie jones, Maxine Adams, Dale Coenen, Mary Clampitt, Harold Wininger, Thelma Howe, jim Draper, Nadine Glidden, Welcome Humbarger, Mary Lane, Myrna Gough, Earlene Gell, Margaret Hurry, Onalee Severn, Russell Durham, jack Keith, Bob jones, and Ross Cole. What comes next? We know that the class oHicers have had quite a job, so we will tell you about them. In our green or Freshman year as most people call it, we elected Maxine Yates as president, Dick Bramblett as vice-president, and Georgianna Edwards as secretary-treasurer. Miss Onalee Shaner was our sponsor. In our Sophomore year we elected Lou Lawson as president, Ed Simmonds as vice-president, Wendell Sullivan as secretary, and jake LaFurgey as treasurer. We also elected Miss Booth as our sponsor. The junior year we chose Ernie jones as our president, Rosemary Sheldon as vice- president, Dale Coenen secretary, and Thelma Howe as treasurer. That year we had as sponsors Miss Bonnell and Mr. Bowen. This, our senior year, we elected Ernie jones again as president, Dale Coenen as vice-president, jo Crocker secretary, and Rosemary Sheldon treasurer. This year we chose as our sponsors Mrs. Krause and Mr. Bowen. As we continue on our trip we run across some of the outstanding memories of our high school days, the plays. During our Freshman year it was The Mad Hatter. In our Sophomore year, Come Out of the Kitchen. As for our junior year we had a rather dramatic play called Letters to Lucerne and this year we put on the play The Whole Town's Talking. Many of the members in our class have participated in these plays and operettas, and they are Dale Coenen, Ernie jones, jake LaFurgey, Myrna Gough, jack Keith, jeanne Brewer, Georgianna Edwards, Margarite Daly, Thelma Howe, Maxine Yates, Margaret Hurry, Harriet Dodge, Pauline Graves, Don Werth, Idella jones, Mildred Unger, Ardis Munger, Nadine Glidden, jim Borton, Dale Conquest, Edna Richter, Gene Wooclbeck, Earlene Gell, Frances Potter, janet Powers, and Marion Van Norman. As we go farther on our trip we come in sight of a football, a baseball, and a basketball team. What does that symbolize? It means that we have had one of the best classes of athletes ever to come out of the school. In football we see jim Draper, Fred Greanya, Dale Coenen, Ernie jones, Ed Simmonds, Bob jones, joe Podoley, and Otis Tremain, who have won two or more letters in this sport. Also in basketball we have joe Podoley, Dale Coenen, Ernie jones, jake LaFurgey, Otis Tremain, Dick Carver, jack Keith, Bob jones, and Bill Berry, who have received letters. In baseball those who have won letters are Bill Berry, joe Podoley, Otis Tremain, jim Draper, Dick Carver, john Thom, and Ross Cole. We have also had a group of boys on the track team. Pertain- ing to honors that go with sports the following boys made all-county in either football or basketball: Fred Greanya, twice, Ed Simmonds, twice, Otis Tremain, and Dale Coenen. joe Polodey made all-regional in the state tournaments at Mt. Pleasant last year. Last year the basketball team won the district championship at Kearsley. In '44 the baseball team took the county championship undefeated. Of the girls in our class six have taken an active part in girls sports. They are Louise Carroll, Rosemary Sheldon, jeanne Brewer, Nadine Glidden, Margarite Daly, and Thelma Howe. I l l l l ,
