i l Orange and Black .- M 1 E .A blosl' Successful Your , EDi'roR. M. C. H. S., the past year has experienced what is probably the miost successful year in it's history. This success has been along varied lines, athletics, debate, music and declamation. At the time of the writing of this article, before the Verdigris Valley League Track Meet, M. C. H. S. has four cups-three league cups and one cup for the Third District championship. The cups won are: one for footballg one for declamationg one for the District Basketball 'Tournament and one for the league cham- pionship. Of these cups the girls won two, the boys two. In debate M. C. H. S. Went into the finals with Neodesha and Labette County High School in a triangular meet and we were beaten by Neode- sha. The decision was very close, however, M. C. H. S. getting four out of the nine judges. In the music contest we ranked second, being beaten only 53 to 49, while our nearest competitor got third with 25 points. The girls' basketball team ranked second in the League, Cherryvale being the winner of the cup by a close margin. The track meet is yet undecided when this article is written. In addition to this success in interschool contests, M. C. H. S. has not neglected her scholastic reqtirfrnerts which leave always been of a high standard. The faculty this year is the largest in the history of the school, being composed of twenty-three members and is of the same high standard as in previous years. 'Iiie members of the various teams maintained their class standing, as it was necessary to have passing grades in three subjects in order to participate in the interschool events. Harmony between the student body and the faculty has reigned throughout the year. No time has been lost through epidemics and the course of study has been covered as required. Whatever fate the future may hold for us, the fact remains that the twenty-two years of our existence thus far have been yearsiof usefulness. One characteristic will long be remembered, the fine spirit of the insti- tution. This has ever been a school which stands for fair play, for thor- ough class work and clean sportsmanship-a school of high moral stand- ards. Its thousands of students are scattered far and wide, laboring in varied Helds of honor and usefulness. Wherever they go, whatever they do is largely determined by the training they received while members of this student body. The spirit of such a school will long endure in the hearts of its children, and the old Montgomery principles still be dominant. Nine l. -.l I921l
