Senior Class History . . . WE were an awe-stricken group of freshies who stalked into the halls of learning four years ago, and after a miserable day finally found ourselves enrolled as members of old M. P. H. S. We were greeted by the sophomores with a never-to-be-forgotten initiation which was just about as much fun for us as for our executioners. After that first week we considered ourselves full-fledged high school students. Although we endeavored to rate high in inter-class sports we didn’t win much glory our first year. The next year our class, decreased in size upjn the enlistment in the service of some of our boys, had quite an eventful school year. One spring evening we piled into several cars and went on a skating party, which turned out to be so much fun that we went again a few weeks later. Everyone turned out to see Maxine Wilson and Bill Dayton in a gay, humorous pantomine, which constituted our sophomore assembly for the year, and was considered a great success. Our junior year we jumped up to second place in inter-class contests and one of our big successes was taking first place in basketball. About October if you had come into our halls and seen boys and girls scurrying in every direction with hammers, nails, crepe paper, and boards you would have known that something interesting was going on. Yes, you guessed it—the carnival! That was a gay hard-working time for everyone, and when the big night came it was well worth all the work. All of the concessions did a rushing business and our class came out second in inter-class points for this event. If you had seen a junior walking around the halls w'ith a little book entitled “Which Shall He Marry?” and mumbling to himself—no, there was nothing wrong, he was just a member of the play cast trying to memorize his part. It was a hectic, but enjoyable few weeks, when Ed Brown and Eloise Vadnais playing the lead, with Dolores Barkley, Ramona Francisco, Pat Overton, Betty an Doren, Evelyn Leeper, Bob Detlefsen and Johnetta Miller turned out faithfully to practice their parts, under the capable direction of Phil Ryan. The proceeds of the play went toward our last big event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. We juniors know what it is to scrub a dirty gym floor, for we are still wringing mop water out of our joints. From a bare, drab gym it turned into a dimly lighted blue and white ballroom with tables around the outside of the floor where refreshments were served, and those not dancing might sit and watch the dancers and listen to the music. To start the big evening we went to the Presbyterian church where we enjoyed a delicious chicken dinner. Later we all went to the beautifully decorated gym and danced to the music of Mfcdford Fuller and his orchestra. Everyone seemed to enjoy the occasion immensely and it was considered a great success. That ended our junior year and we looked forward to the responsibility of being mighty seniors. Agrin the halls were filled with the noise of hammering and sawing and preparations for the carnival were once again under way. The seniors had the gym for their concessions and the smoker drew the largest crowds. The carnival was an unusually good success, the proceeds going toward the installation of the football lights. We seniors took second place in this. That much whispered about day, of course we mean “Skip Day,” when “mum” was the word and everyone trying to find out where we were going, finally came. We left bright and early and after an exhausting day returned tired, but happy. May 2 the juniors honored us with the traditional Prom and Banquet. We thank the juniors very much for the work they put in on it to make such a good time possible and hope that they will receive as good a time. What a happy day was May 16 when we had our last classes. We felt good to know w’e were getting out of classes before the others. On May 18 we attended Baccalaureate Services which was a very impressive service in the beautifully decorated church. Then the biggest night of all camejmd we weere about as frightened as the day we entered high school. It was May 23 and we were leaving our school for the last time to make our own way in life. It gave us an odd feeling when we received our diplomas and knew we were leaving our old Alma Mater. We hope that the classes following us will have as may wonderful times as we did in Myrtle Point Union High School.
