Q PTIKIST Gertrude Price, Adviser J. F. Winkelman, Adviser Senior Class History Seniors! Three happy years have gone and now we are going. Wfhere? Only time will tell. Some will go to halls of higher education, some to positions in the business world, others to form homes of their own, but be it as it may, we go. We go with joy mingled with sadness, with high expectations for the future and with happy memories of the past-the days spent behind portals of M. H. S. Our class of '34 was the First to have but three years in the Senior High School, entering as sophomores, having spent our freshman year at the new Junior Highs, McKinley and Roosevelt. These three years have been filled with hard work and achievement as is shown by our high scholastic standing. Our athletics have been of the best and the success of this year's football team was due mainly to the splendid work of the seniors on the team. Our debaters have shown great ability and our actors have excelled in dramatic art. Many happy social affairs will live long in our memories. The Hi-Y parties and dances, the Junior-Senior and Senior proms all have made the way brighter and the road easier to climb. To the principal and faculty we owe much, for it is because of their untiring efforts that we have at last gained the long-desired rank of Seniors7'. ln the years to come their influence will still be with us to guide us and lead us onwa1'd. And now as we, the Class of '34, part to go our different ways, we hang on our wall of memory the pictures which will never be forgotten of the three happy and successful years we spent in Middletown High School.
