FRESHMAN POEM The sun was shining bright and clear When Freshmen many gathered here To start the work of High School life, Resolved to work and win the strife. We came to school to gain a name, illi bashful hearts untold by fame Wc worked with might to win the strife, And now we've won it, wc‘ve worked with might. “Right and foreward. gets us through, Let it be our motto true, And by it wc will ever stand While inarching forward hand in hand. And when we think of our motto fair, Our flower’s fragrance in the air, Old mem’ries back to us come Of how our High School work was done. And when we're through with High School days We’ll pass out into a world of ways. Then our Freshman Class we ll praise For there's where all the honor lies. Kind readers and friends we’ll bid you adieu, All teachers and professors, the same to you. And now the end of the term is here So w'e’ll meet you again another glad year. —Benjamin Brooks.

FRESHMAN HISTORY (Essie M. Strickler.) On the morning- of September 2nd, 1912, twenty-six young pilgrims gathered at M. H. S. to be reviewed and initiated. We were received very warmly, and, in spite of remarks and nicknames, the remainder of the school acknowledged their appreciation of us by holding a reception in our honor. We soon left our bashfulness behind and began our work in earnest. However, as “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” we were still inclined to hold fast to our love of play. We struggled bravely through “hic-haec-hoc,” and the value of “X’s” and felt that our greenness had begun to fade into a softer shade of brown. Although the “13's” and “14’s” would not believe nor regard us as anything but “Presides,” we mastered our difficulties and proved to them that we were true to our colors. We at first changed the usual program by selecting a French motto for our aim. Later we were tagged industrious and enterprising and continued to keep up with our title. Wc hold regard to the faculty who have aided us in our work and who have encouraged us when our paths were darkened by obstacles too dark for 11s to fathom without aid. We also hold respect to the sympathizing and interested public who have praised our work. We hope in the years to come to complete our studies and work in harmony as we have done during the past term; to accomplish our aims, to cherish M. IT. S. and to be our Alma Mater's pride.
