,6q MANICHIGAN ra6, Senior History The night was cold and frosty, and all the world was wrapped in a heavy mantle of white snow. just the night to be sitting before a glowing hearth, which casts its shadow across a rosy-lighted room of cozy and soft furnishings. As I sat dreaming and gazing into the f1re's depths, behold, before my eyes, in the flames, passed a parade of figures. Upon closer observation I found it to be the Senior Class of 1928 in review. What a bevy of thoughts and memories I was able to recall. The first few weeks in the halls of old M. H. S. in the fall of 1924 were but a nightmare. We were then filling the bill as Freshies. But we soon learned how to act and how to conduct a meeting, electing the following officers: President, Philip Lilljingren, Vice-President, Susanna Anderson, and Treasurer, Roy Grill. The crowning event of the year was a picnic at Orchard Beach, ended by a dancing party in the gym. The first year finished with many sighs of relief on having passed through the f'Freshie stage. The Sophomore year of school began as always, but not for the Sophomore Class. The class election was held almost at once. We displayed our good choice by electing: President, Douglas Linderg Vice-President, Warren Ketchamg and Treasurer, Mamie lyfcfiaw. Our second year was crowded with every kind of activity, reaching its grand climaX4tne Sophomore hlay Pele Dance and party. Our queen, Donna VVexstaff, greatly honored her class and made the picturesque scene a huge success. The same night, the May Party was held at the Elks' Temple. Another year gone, and we found ourselves the proud Juniors of the school. Our new elections called to action: Ernest Kihnke, President, Douglas Linder, Vice-President, and Evelyn Radtke, Treasurer. Plans were immediately begun for raising money for the J-Hop and banquet. A junior Carnival was held in May for two nights in the old high school building, which proved successful. The banquet, in honor of the graduating Seniors, was held at the Hotel Chippewa. On the fol- lowing night, the I-Hop was held in the high school gym. The gym was beautifully decorated with thousands of colored streamers. When the Vear ended, the Juniors began to realize that their high school career was rapidly flying away. The Freshmen of four years ago have now become Seniors! Under the super- vision of Mr. Bendle, we held our election: President, Douglas Linder, Vice-Presi- dent, Ernest Kihnkeg Secretary, John Nelson, and Treasurer, Emanuel Sheras. We enjoyed the banquet and Hop given us by the Juniors, who will loyally bear the Senior name next year. Now the Class of '28 bids M. H. S. adieu and goes forth to gain success and happiness! 654 DQ 13
