History of the Class of 936 When members of the sixth grades of 1929 came to M. H. S. to View their future Alma Mater, the faculty, having seen them, awaited with eagerness the addition of such intellectual reinforcements to the waning wisdom of the school. Upon our arrival the following year, we were greeted with the effusive M. H. S. spirit, not to mention the snubs and cold stares bestowed upon us. Two of our members were so outstanding as to rate special mention in the Original, that noble literary publication that died out because of lack of vitamins M, 0, N, E, Y. The title Queens of Sheba was given these two promising youthfuls, and they did much to further the Get your man spirit that has been so prevalent since our advent at this scholarly institution. Having attained the dignity of Eight Graders, we decided to rise above the motley crowd and bring attention to ourselves by giving a play. This dramatic production was The Red-headed Step-Child fAh-fond mem- ories are recalled as I write that namej. If you remember the hero and heroine, give them ample credit, but if your memory lapses, we had better let well enough alone. We climaxed this event by throwing an Eighth Grade party. I say throwing because everything was thrown from pop bottles to kisses. On becoming Freshmen, we began to realize the importance of our position and conducted ourselves admirably f?J throughout the year. Our class was greatly increased by the addition of much promising material from the rural districts. During our Sophomore year our youthful exuberance burst forth again. We spent our time and energy fhaving nothing else to spendl in sponsoring the picture Alice in Wonderland . , Since our main characteristic seemed to be sponsoring we continued it by giving a Junior Prom, the first in the history of the school. Full credit should be given those who labored tirelessly for the cause. Now, in spite of our sponsoring mania, we are Seniors, truly the pride and wonder of the school. In Scholarship, Athletics, Dramatics, Music, and all other departments, we have contributed our share, and graciously accept any bouquets coming to us fvegetable or otherwisej. As we bid a fond adieu to M. H. S. we beg of the faculty, when passing judgment upon us, to recall the ghosts of their own past sins fif we dare mention such a possibilityj and we hope they will emphasize our virtues fif anyb and soft-pedal our faults. The activities of our Senior year are still so fresh in our minds that it is useless to review them. The years spent in high school will ever be a sacred part of the memory of every Senior who will look upon the activities of the past six years as time spent in laying a solid foundation for future happiness and success.
