SENIOR CLASS HISTORY High School Graduates! Is it possible? We who, only four years ago entered M. H. S. were so inexperienced, so unaware of what the step was going to mean to us. How short our high school life has been and yet: how many things we have accomplished: how many good times we have had: how much experienced we have gained in various lines. Our Freshman year was spent in getting acquainted with the school routine, the students, and the teachers. Some of our boys were fortunate enough to be members of the basketball team and Lloyd was even considered a regular. The girls attended most of the games, of course, to boost the boys. We had our class party after semester exams—and such a success! Vim, vigor, and vitality belonged to the Freshie class of that year. As Sophomores we acquired a little more dignity—we were no longer poor victims of the Seniors’ condescension. In the popularity contest, con- ducted for the sale of annuals, six of the seven winners were Sophs. Our Junior year passed so quickly! Some of our girls took part in the operetta entitled “Miss Cherryblossom,'' and several participated in the play sponsored by the Seniors, “The Zander-Gump Wedding. Lloyd was elected basketball captain and Vasil, football captain, for the following year. We gave the Seniors a banquet in the school gym during the latter part of May. This last year has been a very busy one. Our class officers who were elected in September are President, Frank Wondra; Vice-President, Melvin Lee, and Secretary-Treasurer, Ermel Raney. We took part in the Stunt Night program, presenting a short play entitled, “Madame Princeton's Beauty Shoppe.” Some of our boys have remained on the basketball team throughout our high school life. This year the first team consisted wholly of Seniors with the exception of one player. Our boys have made splendid showings in all ath- letic contests. Many of our girls who were members of the Pep Club attended every game to support them. Yes! I suppose it’s possible that we are now high school graduates. We have gone through M. H. S. doing the things that other Seniors have done, experiencing the same difficulties, obtaining the same knowledge, and having our fun and frolics. Now we are leaving old M. H. S. other work to take up. other difficulties to overcome, and other associates to enjoy. We wish to extend our most sincere thanks to our teachers, parents, friends, and to our class sponsors. Miss Robison and Miss Michel, for the faithful support which they have given us. We cannot forget the wonderful interest and confidence which our Principal, Mr. Sprout, and Superintendent, Mr. Heob, have shown in our class, not only in our last year but throughout our entire high school life. Now classmates, let us keep in mind our motto that, It matters not how long we live, but how,” and I feel confident that we can by honest labor attain both success and happiness. Helen Kowalinski.
