Dear Diary: Do you remember September 19. 1941. when a fine bunch of Freshies first made their entrance into M. P. H. S.? Both girls and boys did well in athletic showing and we also won the Inter-Class Yell Contest, followed by the winning of the Inter-Class Cup in our Freshman year. Again in our Junior year we took first in the Yell Contest. Remember putting on the Junior play. The Ugly Duckling.” with Beady Miller and Ben Dement playing the leads? Remember the fine job Lavarre Ramey did in frying the chickens for a supper one night? We really had fun the Friday that we skipped school and went to Ban-don. Brave, weren't we. especially when we kidnapped two of the teachers and took them along. First aid wasn't so bad. though! But staying in at noon was! Then came our great Prom and Banquet. The gym looked really swell. Remember the fun in cleaning the floor on our knees? Our banquet turned out to be quite a success. Our last year found us short of men since Lavarre Ramey, Hubert Deav-ers. Lee Zinn. Bob Dunn. Bill Williams and Ralph Caffey are in the Navy, and Edmond Bargelt and Ansel Northup are in the Army. We will always remember what a swell guy Harold Reed was and how we all missed him when he joined the Marines. We were all shocked to hear that he was killed on Saipan. The Senior Play turned out fine, with Beverly Haynes. Colleen Goodman. and Harold Belloni playing the leads. The Juniors gave us a swell banquet and dance. Didn't we have fun on our skip day? Oh, that sunburn! ! Well, dear diary, you realize by now how fine a bunch we were and we shall go forth and prove to be worthy of mention on the immortal pages of history, as established for good old M. P. H. S. I. Bill Sumerlin. will my curly locks to Jack Anderson. I, Willard Lucas, will my shy. quiet ways to Gene Wells. We, Fern Nickason and Irene Detlefsen. leave our inseparable comradeship to Donna Floyd and Donna Ward, but take with us our lads from Coos Bay and Coquille.
