SENIOR PLAY The Senior Class of M. M. H. S. presented Life Begins at Sixteen at the High School Auditorium, November 18 and 19. The story is centered around the trials and tribulations of the Hollis twins and other members of the Secret Seven. There was a capacity audience each night. The proceeds of the play after all debts were paid amounted to about $102. The Senior Play cast enjoyed working with Miss Kelly, the director, and hope she will direct many more plays in the future.

CLASS HISTORY Looking back at us as Freshmen, We smile and nod—ah, yes. We were some bunch of greenhorns And prettv scared, too, I guess. We blundered, we fell, and stumbled, But perked right up again, For we were undaunted and nimble And you can’t lick determined men. Then Sophomores! Ah, we were elated! We were getting important, too. Many were out for all our sports To fight for the White and Blue. New Hi-Y’s, more C. R.’s, More social affairs for 11s. Geometry wasn’t so easy— Less real work than fuss. Juniors. We were already accustomed. Taking each task in our stride We steadily worked and succeeded, Accomplished with modest pride. That year was full of crowded events For all the girls and boys, But the biggest event was the Prom, Revealing its secrets and joys. Ah, Seniors at last! We’re as wise And old as them thar hills. O’er rock-strewn ways and vallies wide We’ve learned through knocks and spills. We’re almost there. Our nearing goal Is bathed in a great white light. We re trying, e’re striving to safeguard Today, And do for Tomorrow what’s right. [22] Lila Alanko
