SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Time is not a bird, but it surely lias wings. Since the clay we entered M. A. as “Freshies , time has flown as never before. A retrospective view of time spent here leaves with us a feeling of regret that our school clays should have passed so quickly; hut there still remains the joy of knowing that these days spent at M. A. have been happy ones. They have been filled brimful of the most pleasant memories we shall ever have had occasion to store away. That timid, but at the same time, proud and thrilled feeling with which we first entered Minnehaha as Freshmen cannot be expressed and will never be forgotten. In this class there was a feeling of unity as in no other class. The pluck of its members showed itself when they entered into a debate with the Sophomore class, upholding the affirmative of the question. Resolved: That the U. S. should not intervene in Mexico. The class at this time had to taste defeat at the hands of the Sophomores. As a diversion from that unsolvable Algebra, unfathomable Science, burdensome History with its dry dates, tiresome English, or other languages even more tiresome or difficult, the class arranged a pow-wow. Here the entertaining talents of the “Freshies” were brought out by their numerous stories, keen jokes, and c heerful singing. The following September brought us back to school as Sophomores. We now felt just a little as if we owned the school. Our greatest delight was found in watching those students who were to compose the class we had just left. The Sophomores showed themselves active in every phase of school life. A literary society was formed within the class, which proved very interesting and helpful to its members. Our class also took upon itself the task of editing an issue of the school paper. This issue was second to none. Feeling that the year would not be quite complete without a class get-to-gether, a picnic supper was arranged on May 20. 1921. No one would dare deny the good time reported by the “Sophs.” It is said that history repeats itself; so did the pleasures, exciting times, and even the exams of former years to us as Juniors. The vim of our class was noticed in every school activity or other movement within the school. Several gave a great deal of their time to the editing of the Quiver, one of the class members even attaining the place of editor-in-chief. On April 19, 1922. through the courtesy and hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. E. Swenson of St. Paul, who opened their beautiful home to the class, the Juniors gave the Senior class such a banquet as only this class was capable of doing. In the fall of 1922 we returned to our work, feeling that we were reaching the climax of our days at Minnehaha. The enlargement of the Quiver was the first noticeable act of the managing hand of the 1923 class. Ticaity-thrcc
