now Mrs. Don Smith, was our class
advisor.
We really began our social &C
tivities that year, for we we're in
itiated into the upper classes at
Hemio.
In the fall OF 1899. we again as
sembled to resume our studies.
Three new members we're well
coined: Richard Bordine, Donald
Bird, and Harold Holmes. We lost
several members OF the class, how
ever, namely: Earl Aiken, Calvin
Anderson, Ruth Pennington, Fran
els Johr, Harold Landon. Leonard
Mangus. Louise LeDuc, and Waun-
tia Hathaway. Two members,
Chester Godzina and Edward MUIR
laugh, became seniors by complet-
ing their required courses in three
years.
At our first class meeting we
elected the following officers: pres
ldent, Anne Heath; vice president.
Dorcas Paddock; secretary and
treasurer. Dawn Knaggs; and class
advisor. Mr.. Fry.
Our Junior Class play was given
December Z, 1889. "Icebound" by
Owen Davis was thoroughly en-
joyed by the students and towns
people alike. Its cast included Rose
Dunn, William Squires, and Rita
Libbey in the leading roles, ably
supported by Juanita Wiley, Donald
Prielipp, Laura May Grassley. Ag-

Seniors Work
i'm Journalism

Many OF the seniors OF the class
Of 1941 have assumed responsible
ties in journalism. Although jour
nalism Is not offered as a course
in Milan High, 1t is one OF the
outstanding extra-curricular activ-
tiles in the school. The Journalism
Club, active since 1887, has as its
main duty the editing and publish
ing OF the milan High Life"
The various issues contain news
OF class and club activities, bits OF
humorous philosophy, editorials,
and, recently, short stories by Senior
English students. Excellent artistic
designs and cartoons for the paper
have been contributed by Marjory
Evans and Kenneth John. The ad.
vertisement section Of the paper is
generously contributed by local
merchants. This patronage has been
greatly appreciated, as their support
through the purchasing OF advertfs-
ing space has helped to make the
publication possible.
Mrs. Ora Muter. sponsor OF the
paper and instructor of the COM
mercial department, has whole
heartedly devoted much OF her time,
and to her we owe the success of
our Journalism Club. With the
money earned through the sales OF
our paper. the club has expended
S12S on a new Burroughs adding
machine and calculator, which is
used by the bookkeeping classes
and students taking office machine
courses.
The seniors who have taken part
In editing the MILAN High Life"
are: editor. Dorcas Paddock; as
sistant editor. Dawn Knaggs; bust
ness manager. Ann Heath; assist
advertising manager. Rita Libbey;
staff artists. Kenneth John and
Margie Evans; sports editor, VIII.
liam Squires; joke editor. Juanita
Wiley; senior class reporter, Jane
Auten; typists. Hazel Meyer, Rose
Dunn, Richard Plasters. and Ru-
dolph Koczman.
In conclusion. the Journalism
Club OF 1941 wishes to express its
appreciation to all who have made
the club success. and to wish the
Club Of 1941-42 the best OF luck.

good advantage. changing the gym
into a Hawaiian Isle. Favors and
music were in keeping with the
tropical atmosphere. We realized
only too we'll that within another
year we would be at the gates Of
the world also. and the occasion,
though gay and cheerful, could not
help making some of us a little sad
that such days as these fleet by so
quickly.
Fifty-five seniors gathered at the
high school on Sept. 7, 1910, ready
for the home stretch. At the signal
from Mr.. Mackey, class activities
began. Two new members were cor
daily greeted: Philetus Spear and
Francis Gaines. Many of our old
classmates were missing: among
them, Kaylor Howell. Harold Man
gus, Florence Monroe. Winnifred
Plummer, Russell Wortkoetter,
George Tucker, Mary Studnicka,
Virginia Wilson, Pauline Chase,
Opal Storl. and Elizabeth Smith.
At an early date class officers
were elected. Richard Bordine was
chosen president: Anne Heath, vice
president; William Squires. secre-
tary and treasurer; and Mr.. Mac.
key, class advisor.
Throughout the year the class has
sponsored public dances known as
the Sweater Swirls.' An April
Frolic" dance affair was another
activity backed by the seniors this
spring. A beautiful spring garden
was depicted in the gymnasium,
and a fairly large crowd attended.
April is, 1941 was a day Of leisure
for seniors. That was the date OF
Senior Skip Day. A large portion
OF the class motored to Island Park
In Ann Arbor for a day OF hiking
and picnicking. However, a down
pour OF rain turned the group into
an afternoon theater party instead.
On May 2S, 1871, the senior class
play was presented. Young ApriT'
by Aurania Rouverd and William
Spence Rouveral was a gay COM
edy sequel to Growing Pains" An
elaborate stage setting was pro-
vided. Rita Libbey, Kenneth John.
