WHAT'S WHAT IN SENIDR CLASS Following a custom that originated in the dark past, someone has to put the high spots of the history of the Senior Class of 1931 in print, so if any of the following sound incredible, just remember that from 1927 to 1931 has been quite a long time. Anyway, regardless of what you remember, we entered M. H. S. a bunch of ninety-six green leaves huddled together in fear of those Awful Upper Classmen. After we had become inured to being Freshmen and had attended a school Hal- lowe'en party, we had a corn roast all for ourselves. To show the executive abil- ity of the class, we took charge of chapel exercises several times, and entertained the rest of the high school with a play at Christmas time. We returned the next semester, after Santa had been so good to us, fully aware that We had to buckle down to work to become the full-fledged Sophomores that we had looked up to heretofore. For class officers we elected Robert Armstrong, President, David West, Vice President, Elaine Baxter, Secretary, and Howard Cogswell, Treasurer. Sophomores! Boy, did we work hard that year? Our one and only recrea- tion all the time we were considered Sophies was the joy of nibbling the delic- ious I ?J corn from the cob on the corn roast held the first term. We showed our good judgment by selecting Willard Grubham, class president. Finals Dllt lT10St Of US in the Junior Class where we met some of our old friends from the second year Freshman Class. During the first part of the year we, as a class, became divided over the choosing of the Junior rings. We nearly had a revolution that would have put Central America to shame, but instead we had a private HalloWe'en party and forgot our differences. Our class has always been outstanding in athletics. We had an undefeated class basketball team and the boys and girls who were on the varsity teams received gold basketballs. We were unfortunate in that our Class President, Milton Birchard, was unable to at- tend school the last part of the term due to illness. Julia Hayes, our Vice Presi- dent, filled the position the remaining time. Our treasurer that year was Rolland Cronk and Elaine Baxter was Secretary. On the last day of school the Graduates were entertained, with plenty of food, at Elk Lake by the incoming Senior Class. Ain't it a grand and glorious feelin' to be a senior? We'll all say so! To start the year right, we plunged into activities at the Harford Fair, where hot dogs and pop were plentiful. This was followed by a food sale. Again we had to be original, so we had a skiing party. A great many of us were ignorant as to the use of these unmanageable pieces of wood, but with Mr. O'Brien along to take the bumps, a good time was had. We pulled an April fool's joke by going to Bingham- ton to look pretty for the Acta, Everyone seemed to more than enjoy him- self in spite of the rain. For some more excitement a class meeting was held and it was decided that the class go to Washington after school was out. We started raising money for the trip by an invitation dance in our auditorium. The decora- tions were in delicate tints of the rainbow. A good orchestra and a perfect crowd made the dance a success. Our next venture was a benefit movie, The Man Who Came Back , the result was so favorable that it was planned to have another, The Millionaire, which turned out beyond our expectations. We had another food sale that was more successful than the first. Again our athletic ability was merited by giving the varsity football team gold footballs and the varsity basket ball teams gold basketballs. Mr. O'Brien picked Skidding for the Senior play, with an all star cast featuring Elain Baxter and Rolland Cronk in the leads, Ida Very in the part of the mother, Smith Dodge, the Judge, Eleanor Vaughn and Marion Snyder, the married sisters, Audrey Roberts, the old maid school-teacher 16

GEORGE ARMSTRONG MUESELL Football Q2-3-453 Basketball C1-2-3-55, Baseball 13-4-515 Track 1333 Hi-Y Q2-3-453 Acta', Staff. George is one of our stars in athletics. With him holding down the position of first base, Montrose has twice won the County Cup. As Right End in our football battles he showed his speed,and ability at tackling his opponent. At center, he kept up his reputation. If you were looking for some one to pass the ball to, he was there. Every where at once, and when we were behind, his team work pulled us through. If he is as successful in his vocation as he is in athletics, we won't worry at all how he makes his way in the world.
