Jenior Class Diary Sept. 1925— May, 1929. Dear Diary: This has certainly been one wonderful year. But for that matter the first year of high school is always wonderful, from the day of enrollment to the last day of school in the spring. The first days of school we made mistakes and were laughed at for being green, but we gradually became accustomed to the strange ways of high school and the Seniors actually began to realize that we Freshmen were on earth. Were we not in the heights of glory when SENIORS spoke to us in the hall? This year we supported all school activities and a few from our class were noted for their ability in football, basketball and debate. We tried to uphold the standards set by former students, even to the buying of annuals. Sept., 1926— May, 1927. Dear Diary: Somehow there seems to be nothing to write this year. Everything seems merely a repetition of last year. Of course there were diversities when new cases began and old ones ended. Those who were noted for their ability in athletic or scholastic activities be- came more proficient and others joined their ranks. Sept., 1927— May, 1928. Dear Diary: The most important event of this year was the Junior-Senior party to which we had looked forward since Freshman days. Both classes were well represented and everybody (including Mr. Croy) had a hilariously good time. Sept., 1928— May, 1929. Dear Diary: Every Senior has been so busy during this year that there is hardly time to write, and not nearly enough room to tell everything. Of course the most outstanding events must be mentioned. Our class officers were elected early in the year and we are proud that they proved themselves worthy of the honor. Soon the Annual Staff was elected and it is certain that our class has the best Annual ever published. The play given for the benefit of the Annual was next in importance to the Class Play given in the spring. And now Commencement makes our thoughts turn from the present to the future. We hope that we may become the most illustrious class ever graduated from M. H. S. —Maude Quails.

Seniors Out of childhood into manhood Now had grown my Hiawatha, Skilled in all the craft of hunters, Learned in all the lore of old men, In all youthful sports and pastimes. In all manly arts and labors.
