Senior Class History Here we are, a noble group of seniors standing on the threshold of fame with torch in hand eager to rush out into a cruel, hungry world and set a goal for our allies to follow. Little did we think four small years ago, when we were but humble, brow- beaten freshmen, that we, by any fate of Nature, could aspire to such fame. We have proven without a doubt, that through a willingness of spirit, an urge for better understanding, a desire for the best in life, that we, as a class have labored to- gether through sunshine and rain, gladness and sorrow, undaunted by the many difficulties which invaribly arise and have won our victory with colors flying. Let us turn backward to the fall of '33 when we as a band of lO6 freshmen launched out upon our voyage in quest of education. Even though full of vim and enthusiasm, we indeed felt as travelers in a strange land. Had it not been for the guiding hand of our most splendid faculty to steer us through our trials and tribulations, it is indeed doubtful that we would have ever attained our goal. Therefore, Hats Off to M. H. S. Faculty! The fall of '34 found us with a new title, Sophomores. Though fewer in number, we plunged into the ranks with renewed energy and an amazing amount of confidence in our ability to do big things--and we did them. The fall of '35 found us--Juniors-with our shoulders to the wheel again, spurred on by the incentive that our goal was nearer and nearer. Considering our years work successfully done, we finished in great fashion by giving the Seniors a grand and glorious banquet and prom, which will always be a cherished memory. The fall of 36 finds us courageously striving on, our tasks growing more difficult, but we struggle on with chin up, taking the bitter with the sweet. On and on we plod with our daily burdens, but with a song on our lips for our prize is Oh, so near. One more effort and the trophy is ours-ours for the asking. At last we have lt. Something the whole world cannot snatch from us. May we look back upon - our dear old Alma Mater days with a feeling of satisfaction and understanding, knowing that it was a battle well fought.
