16 THE BITTER ROOT History of fhe Senior Class Year after year classes pour into M. II. S., and year after year the finished product rolls forth and on into the wide, wide world, endowed with wisdom and a goodly amount of self-respect and self-confidence. Thus our class, the class of 1929, is passing on after four short—alas, too short years here. Having reached our goal we may now look back upon our Freshman year as a necessary evil. However, after all, there was a generous measure of en- joyment, and like Samson of old, when our hair returned, we regained our lost powers and developed, we’re afraid, a distinct aptitude for getting into mischief and for doing much to hasten premature gray hair for many of the teachers. A year rolled by and, presto! we were Sophomores, entirely different be- ings—so much magic is there in a name. We were no longer the downtrodden, the humble, but the eminent and the proud, and as such we organized and with Miss Swearingen as our sponsor put on at the Senior Carnival a creditable sideshow entitled “Snapshots.” In our third year in high school with Miss Swearingen again as sponsor we elected Armon Glenn, president; Marjorie Mumm, vice-president; Forrest Schini, secretary; and Eileen Jennings, treasurer. A committee was appointed to select the class pins and rings, and after submitting their choice to the class as a whole, the order was placed with a local dealer. For a second time we gave a successful act at the Senior Carnival. Then we turned our attention to raising money for the largest social func- tion of the school year—the Junior Prom. We sold tickets for a show, gave a dance, had several sales, and co-operated with the musical organizations in presenting a program which was very successful financially and otherwise. The fact that a balance remained after financing a very enjoyable Prom is an eloquent testimony to the efforts of the sponsor and to the spirit of the class. We returned the next fall for the last time, intent on making a name for ourselves which would endure. With Miss Mann and Miss Ryon as sponsors we elected Marjorie Mumm, president; Harold Jacobsen, vice-president; and Margaret Mittelstaedt, secretary. The class elected Armon Glenn to edit the Bitter Root with Eileen Jennings as the associate editor. A staff was chosen and under the guidance of Miss Ryon they began their work. After putting on one of the best Senior Mixers yet given, the class turned its hand to planning the Senior Carnival. Bill Ritchey was chosen manager and with the help of Miss Mann and Marjorie Mumm, assistant manager, a very entertaining and profitable Carnival was staged. With our high school days drawing to a close and with Commencement approaching we can look back over the time spent here and truthfully say that it has been the most interesting and profitable four years of our lives. Though we must leave and pursue our varied ways, we will never cease to thrill at the mention of M. II. S. and the pleasant associations and thoughts which the word will bring back to our minds.
