M. 8z M. High School Page Twenty Five Senior History By Gwendolyn Hambleton The class of '24 knocked for ad- mittance at the doors of M. gl M. four years ago and was greeted by our genial superintendent, B. F. Fulks. Upon being questioned as to the qualifications of the class seek- ing entrance, we answered without hesitation and with firm convic- tion that we were the most intel- lectual, enthusiastic, c o u r t e o u s class, possessing the highest ideals of any class that has come to the portals for admittance, at least that was truly our feeling at that time, but alas, and alack, our first report cards proved us to be as green as the general run of fresh- man classes. Our first class party was a masquerade held at the high school auditorium. Many were cleverly masked to bring out the weird spirit of Hallowe'en. The peak of Mt. Rainier was to be our goal but we seemed to be forever struggling and slipping. Eventually our first year passed but we had a firm foothold on the rocky slope to begin our second year's ascent. In the fall of '21 we again took up our climb. We found the slope very steep but just a little less stony. The upper classmen seem- ed a little more like friends and less like grizzly bears than during our freshman year. We found a little sadness creeping into our hearts as the year drew to a close but also a little gladness as our up- ward climb was just a little easier. Then came our junior year. We all had new spikes on our shoes and aided by our beloved superin- tendent, faithful principal, and lov- ing teachers we made our ascent with a little less exhaustion and at times we felt we could almost get a glimpse of the peak. Our junior activities including Carnival and Junior-Senior Recep- tion were decided successes. We now close our junior year with some reluctance. Now as seniors the happiest and saddest year of our life is here. We can now see the peak, our goal is in sight. We have taken up extra work and activities, but our ascent has not been hard. The team work in our class has been wonderful and the good fellowship carried through the four years by this class cannot be surpassed. Lend me your ear and I will whisper to you some of the good things about each member of our class. . First, we will take all of our Athletes from both football and basketball. Captain Leonard Tavenner led his men to victory in many hard battles. He has been a worthy member of our team for two years. Ronald Benjamin is one of the members of the two football teams which have represented M. 8z M. on the grid. Harold Davis is our senior class president, Unonian Sales Manager, football player, scholar in lan- guages, and an ever-ready friend and helper. Delmar Glenn, one of our foot- ball players is interested in Agri- culture and all that deals with farm life and is slightly interestegl in some things concerning the City. George Hooper, bashful George, is treasurer of the senior class and a fine class basketball player. John Kile has achieved success as a football player. Edgar Northrup, young Doc, is our Advertising Manager, regular athlete, musician and quite an as- set to the class. George Ritchey, another mem- ber of the football team, is an ever faithful, student. Leonard Smith is a class basket- ball player. He is little but mighty. Charles Lindsay, another basket-
