CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1924, M. C. H. S. opened its doors to a new group of 9-1 students. They were as “green” as freshmen usually are, and were the objects of the same number of well aimed jokes from the upper classmen. They elected Clifford Kirk as their leader, were entertained by the sophomores, and in the course of time, became sophomores themselves. Clifford Kirk was again elected president, and, as was the custom, the class entertained the freshmen. In 1926 they became juniors, feeling their superiority greatly. This year they elected the following officers: Preston Calvert, president; Clifford Kirk, vice president; Irene Wendt, secretary; Bernice Stark, treasurer. A successful play and an equally successful prom were given. And then—seniors! This year the class was led by Harmon Green, as president; John Gardis, vice president; Richard Chubb, secretary, and Frank Heger, treasurer. Once more the class gave a very successful play. The members of the Class of 1928 have always been prominent in high school affairs, providing officers for most of the clubs, and being ably represented in debating by: Harmon Green, Mike Lahey, Edward Lay, Bernice Stark, Eugene Timbrook, and Arnold Wiener. In athletics they were also well represented by the following: Football: Richard Chubb, Louis Sass, Charles Beebe. Carl Erickson, Robert Grimes, Robert Adamson, John Gardis, Frank Kubik, Andrew Kubik, Edward Lay, Henry Root, Arthur Schultz, Ben Slavin, Ford Keppen, Bruce Martin, and John Paxton. Basketball: Frank Kubik, Charles Beebe, Louis Sass, Preston Calvert, Carl Erickson, William Flotow, John Gardis, Clarence Reick, Ben Slavin, Charles Trafelet, and Lester Cochran. Baseball : Preston Calvert, Arthur Christensen, Carl Erickson,, William Flotow, Louis Sass, John Gardis, and Edward Lay. Track: Roger Johnson, Ronald Johnson, Leroy Bartels, Frank Kubik, Carl Mross, Arthur Schultz, Ben Slavin, Lester Cochran, Fox'd Keppen, and John Paxton. Wrestling: Ai'thur Schultz, John Gai'dis, John Gleason, and Albei't Striebel. —Winifred Cooney 7
