Soon tl1e buzz of a now very familiar bell cut short all conversations and sent the young people scur- rying towards the rooms they were to call Home,' for the school year. There were many new teachers to be met, new friendships to be made, and new fields of interest and learning to be explored within the next three years. NVe, as sophomores, were taking our first nibble of high school life, and it seemed to agree with us. One of our first duties as members of the sophomore class-other than following the adventures of our old friend Julius Caesar in Latin class and hunting through swampy places to procure fat green frogs for biology experiments-was to choose our otiicers for the year. Kenny Bernard was elected president, and Jack Berwick, vice-president. Jeanne Johnson became our secretary, and Betty Moan, our treasurer. Barbara Keefe and Jack Hoelzel were our representatives to the Student Council. The ollicial hand of welcome was extended to us in November at the Sophomore Reception by Leon Bassett, president of the senior class. This party was a great success, as was our own Sophomore Party in March. The abundance of talent in our own class has always been an asset in planning party programs, and we appreciate the willingness with which our gifted classmates have shared their abilities. June came more rapidly than we ever dreamed it could. At Senior Chapel two of our members, Joan Verfaillie and Charles Pollard, were the recipients of the D. A. R. Good Citizenship medals, which are given every year to the boy and girl in each class who best fits the definite qualifications for such an award. Our Junior year was an extremely busy one. XVe again chose Kenny, Jack, Jeanne and Betty to serve as our otlicers. XVally Bahan joined Jack and Barbara as our third Student Council representative. The choice of a class ring was the next important item to be consid- ered. The class was almost evenly divided between a black onyx and a plain gold ring. All discussion was declared void, as the study hall fairly seethed with controversy, and a written ballot was used. Before too long we were the proud possessors of shiny gold rings-Aour final choice. These rings were the pride and joy of our lives and made us the envy of the sophomores. YVe forgot about our struggles with chemistry equations and the rule for the use of the subjunctivc in French long enough to call once more on our class talent to provide the entertainment for our Junior Party in January. They rose to the occasion splendidly. Joe Bradley, as master- 47 MHS of-ceremonies, also helped to keep things rolling at a lively pace. Danc- ing to the best bands in the land followed the program. Sadness came to our school in February of our junior year. One of our most beloved teachers, Mr. John D. Byrne, had passed away. His impartiality and willingness to help each one of us in his capacity as both teacher and track coach will never be forgotten by those ot' us who have had the privilege of working under his leadership. Early in June, at a junior assembly, Carolyn Day was awarded the XVashington-Franklin medal for excellence in American history. At Senior Chapel the D. A. B. Good Citizenship medals were given to .lean Ryder and .lames Skillings. Our class was further honored in having XVally Bahan win first prize of a Hltttt bond in a contest sponsored by a Lawrence bank for his essay on XYhat American Art Means to Me. A long awaited time had come. XYe were seniors! If our junior vear was busy, our senior year was one continuous whirl of activity! lt was time to eleet our otlieers for the last year of our high school career. XVe chose Don Pickies. presidenlg .lack Berwick. vice-president: Norma Sharp, secretary, and Betty Moan. treasurer. Don Baxter joined Barbara, Jack, and NX'ally on the Student tlouncil. The serious illness of one of our teachers. Miss Mary tiavitte. cast the only shadow on our last year. XYe were sorry that she was not able lo share with us this memorable time in our lives. and wish her a com- plete and rapid recovery. Our turn to welcome the sophomores had come. The Sophomore Reception was highly enjoyable. as was our own Senior Party in Novem- ber. lialph and .losie Spidale certainly made a hit with their guitar and mandolin combination. Between snatches of Macbeth and the lfrench Bevolulion. twenty- seven of our classmates spent many hours rehearsing for The Divine Flora, which was presented early in December. Audrey tlonnal did a superb job as Flora. 'l'he other members ot' the cast nmst also be given credit. llow they could AD l.lB! One of our biggest class undertakings was a magazine drive. Our parents and neighbors will be well stocked with reading matter for four or live years to come as a result ot' our etforts to defray the expense of our year book. liven though he tried to discourage us by sending snow. the weather man failed to dampen the spirits ot' the crowd that attended the animal Military Ball. This colorful event was one of our most outstanding social functions. A special senior meeting was called early in April. After a period of considerable suspense. the graduation honors were announced. .loan Verfaillie was selected to be valedictorian. and l'at Tearno. to be saluta- 48 1949 torian. Lois Hanson was chosen to deliver the Ivy Oration. .lean Ryder had earlier been chosen to represent our school in the D. A. Pt. Good Cit- izenship Pilgrimage. Plans were soon being made for the Girls' A.A. Delnonstration. An exceptionally large group of girls participated in the roller skating, marching, square and tap dancing, and tumbling. Miss Chadwick and her committee should be proud of the result of their efforts. XVe reserved Friday, May 20th for the annual Band Concert and Dance. XVe certainly can be proud of the excellent job our hand does either marching along the football field or performing in a crowded auditorium. XVith amazement we realized that the time for our own Senior Prom had come. As always, this event was one of the most prominent and beautiful of our school life. The girls looked like bright spring flowers in their dainty gowns, and the boys seemed unusually handsome in their formal attire. Now we are participating in our Class Day exercises. XVI? have paused briefly to review the events of the past three years. The time has come when we must look aheadeeagerly, hopefullyuever remembering our conviction that 'tHe conquers who conquers lllI1lSGlf.,, -Jean C.

The tender slip of ivy to he planted today will entwine with older, hardier green rmmers, and will follow their example. The laws of nature do not grant the ivy the power of choice between good and evilg but we, as human beings, nmst consider seriously any ex- ample by which we shall be guided. One hundred years ago our forefathers, the ,Forty-niners, were roused by the discovery of gold at John Sutter's sawmill in the valley of Coloma, California. Settlers from every part of the United States desert- ed ripe crops, shops, and families. to join the mammoth migration to- ward wealth. The desire to gain a share in the treasure of the gold mines hurried men over the routes of land and sea. The westward movement proved to be profitable for a fortunate few, but in most cases poverty, caused by unharvested crops, and the grief of lonely families were the outcome. As men began their homeward trek, they regretted that self- ishness had been allowed to breed wild dreams of opulence. The numerals of this graduating class have reminded us of that memorable instance just one hundred years ago. The custom of planting the ivy has suggested a comparison. Nothing can lure the supple tendrils of the ivy to grow in any path different from that of Nature, which wills that cautious green fingers shall test each crevice and protuberance for soundness. Once assured of security, the ivy attaches its runners with suction cups to the firm wall. The strength and energy of the plant are then exerted in the task of fos- tering new runners and nourishing the old. There is no limit of expan- sion, nor neglect of past achievement. These two examples, that of the ,Forty-niners and that of the ivy, are set before us. XVhich shall we choose as our pattern of life? Shall we, who might be called the namesakes of the original 'Forty-niners, follow in their footsteps to search for sensational power or glory? The value of succumbing to that desire has been proved uncertain. Confidence and poise are far more beneficial than wasteful impatience. Though the shine of ivy leaves is not so lustrous as the brilliance of gold, a life designed from the ivy's pattern of continuous development creates a beautiful tapestry of security and happiness. The young plant of ivy which we see today has been torn from the ground of its birth. As we leave the home of our education, we, too, share the ivy's fate in being transplanted. Our environment will be al- tered, and we must adapt ourselves, as the ivy will. Rich soil awaits the eager shoot. --Lois Ii. llanson 53 MHS CLASS STATISTICS Student who has done most for the school . . Prettiest Girl fQueenj Handsonlest Boy fliingj Most Popular Girl .
