"High School Hoboes" invaded the homes of Midland residents during the early years of MHS history. A warm spring day, near the end of the school term, ushered in this "big event." Towns- men were warned by advance notices stating the date of the "invasion." Students and faculty, equally enthusiastic, entered into the spirit of the day. Sometime before noon, these hoboes dressed in rags and tatter., visited the homes of the villagers to find delicious ' hobo fare" ready and waiting. Assembling in a shady area along Bad River, the picnickers spent a wonderful day, shared a bounti- ful meal, and departed with pleasant memories. The "best dressed" were awarded prizes for their efforts. This traditional event was abandoned near the end of the 20's and other activities took its place . "Hark, hark! The dogs do bark! The hobos are loose in the town . Some in rags, some in tags, And some in velvet gowns." .A47A065-.j6lfLg:5- ULQQVLJ . . . WLGLVCA 6!0bUlfL dA? 190985 .fi idlfory. Carnival day with merrymaking and booths, started in l932, is now an annual MHS activity. Held since then, during the autumn months and somewhat changed in form, it has come to be a gala event that is anticipated by stu- dents and community. Per- haps one of the more important modifications is the election of royalty. In the fall of l935, Clara Fosheim, now Mrs. Roy Roseth, became the first car- nival queen. The following year a king was elected for the first time.. ln l958, Sonia Meyers and Jerry Nemec, Jr. reigned. It is interesting to note that Sonia is the niece of Mrs. Roseth . jf
