N . - 01955 GBNBLZLCK 19 . Senior History Four years ago the doors of M. C. H.S. again swunglopen to admit seekers after knowledge. They came in great throngs from all over the county. But it is with the Freshmen of '15 we are concerned. We were the Freshmen of 'l5. Well do we remember our entrance day. We came in small groups, fearing to meet all sorts of dangers and pitfalls. Lucky was the Freshman, who had an older brother or sister to act as his pilot. Our greenness and bashfulness, how- ever, soon wore off and by the time we had reached our second year no one would have suspected us of either. We thought we were needed everywhere and never hesitated in offering our services. , The next year, our Junior year, was a red-letter one. Our country was at war and our brothers and friends, even some of our classmates, were leav- ing for various training camps. We who were left at home knitted socks, sweaters, helmets, etc., with vim. We took the chapel hour too, and boys and girls together folded miles and miles of Red Cross bandages. Only one other class ever had the honor of doing Red Cross work. And along with all this we found time to get enough credits to make us Seniors. We tried, too, to show the departing Seniors a good time. We hope the Juniors of this year profited by our example. And now we are Seniors. Although our Hnal year has been broken into by ban after ban, we are not a class who flew C iiu J in any sense of the word. We have hit the high places, and joyfully condensed and concentrated on our work in order to deserve our graduation credits. Our dreams are realized. I wish all our dreams could be realized as easily as this. We hope it may bring as much pleasure to us as the past four years have brought. Wherever we may be, we will always keep a warm spot in our hearts for our Alma Mater and try to live up to her expectations for the Class of '19 . -EDITH HENDERSON. illll - Aff, es, 28 L - A
