M ARGAlil'If1' .IQHNSON 1 IJVV XRD LANGIC The Senior Class TUITH Commencement, the one-hundred thirty-one members of the Senior Class of 1941 finished the last lap of their journey alon the pathways of M. V. H. S. Their capaile advisers, Miss Lucille Axelson and Mr. Ray Cowell, assisted the class officers, Chuck Valentine, president, Pearl Neff, vice- president, Bea Christiansen, secretary, Tiny T utt, treasurer, June Murray and Leif Rin- dal, student council representatives, and Bob Ingman, yell leader. Margaret Johnson and Ed Lange led the Class of 1941 in scholastic standing, being valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. Gertrud Crtgies and Bertha Sluis also deserve honorable mention as they finished their high school work in three years. Drama proved to be an outlet for acting talent. Ralph Beringer, Cliff Massar, Ed Lange, Lloyd Nyhus, Doug Allan, Guy Hughes, Margaret Johnson, Helen Hedlund, Lura Davis, Bea Christiansen, Eileen Wil- lard, and Rhoda Blair proved their ability in the Senior Play, Mollie O'Shaughnessy,H which was a big hit. Pat Cameron, Shirlee Tholstrup and Roland Thomas had major parts in the All-School Play. Most of the play casts were members of the Thespians. Ten seniors in the band, six in the orches- tra, and twenty-eight in the A Cappela Choir showed musical talent. Brains are not the only requisites in order to get along in life. Brawn is one of the oth- ers. The senior boys showed this mainly along the glory roads. Dennis Dobson, Vic Brown, Doug Allan, Ralph VVilson, Ed Walker, Cal Hopkins, Ed Harnden, Bill Hildebrand, Lloyd Nyhus, Chuck Rhoades, and Harvey Prutzman, who was chosen the inspirational player, played their last game of football for Mount Vernon this year. In basketball, Victor Brown, Dennis Dob- son, Jimmy Johnston, and Irvin Tennyson represented the seniors. Some of the track fellows along the glory roads were Bill Shea, Earl Lind, Ed Walker, Cal Hopkins, Robert Hurley, John Blattman, Willard Iverson, and Ralph Wilson. Vic Brown, Ray Brandstrom, Dennis Dob- son, and Lloyd Nyhus represented the class in baseball. Bill Jackson and Frank Valkenburg were outstanding members of the tennis team. In sports, Patsy Cameron, Tiny Tutt, Marian Floe, Florine Anderson, Mary Lou Hull, Mary Jean Brandstrom, Topsy Hen- shaw, Edna Goodrich, Althea Moa, Anna Eliason, Pearl Neff, Helen Hecllund, Alixe Ingman, June Murray, Doris Thomas, Max- ine Raabe, Betty Hutchison, Janet Boynton, Anna VValtner, Margaret Johnson, and Lu- cretia Sullivan were active participants. All of these girls belong to the Girls' Green M. One of the outstanding characteristics of this class was their ability for leadership. The seniors went to Birch Bay for their annual picnic on May 5. They presented their senior program on Campus Day. On May 24, the Junior girls honored the Senior girls at a tea held in the home of Betty Jo Spratley. Reverend Carl Lund was the speaker for the impressive Baccalaureate services in the auditorium June 1. Commencement was held June 5, in the gymnasium with Rev. Wendell Eifield as main speaker. The gymnasium was cleverly decorated with the class colors, red and white.
