Page Forty - - 5132335 f Haw Senior Class History In order to convince the public that the Senior Class of '21 not merely existed throughout four years of High School life, we, the Senior Class, do hereby set down in black and white a few words which we hope will prove that such a class took part in all school activities physically, mentally and morally. NVe were enrolled as Freshmen in the fall of the year nineteen hundred and seventeen. In january, seven more entered, making a total of seventy- eight. The upper-classmenn hazed us to the full extent and we mildly took it all as most Freshmen End it wise to do. The first year dragged by, for to a Freshman it is the longest year of all four. He wants to do this and be able to do that, and at the end of the year as he looks back and thinks' he has accomplished nothing outside of his regular school work, but, he has. He has fitted himself into the cog wheels of M. H. S. and during the next three years his part in turning the wheel becomes greater by taking part in all school activities, keeping up a genuine class spirit and, above all, working for the honor of M. H. S. Then our Sophomore year. Ah! that year of peace and bliss when you are not pestered by upper-classmen and do not take things to heart and ponder over them as juniors and especially seniors are apt to do. We still retained some of our freshness with which we tried to mix too much of Senior Dignity and the result was that we exploded, But at the end of the year we found ourselves up another step on the ladder which leads to graduation. In the Junior year we began to show our true colors. We took the Seniors down a notch in an indoor tournament and all were making their ability known now, if not before, in football, basketball, track, baseball, radio work, declamatory, the junior play and in school clubs. VVe were right there to boost everything and there was always something to boost. As the third time is the charm, so it is said, so was our third year in High School a success all around. The boys now dated the girls quite frequently and had the repu- tation of getting by with it. XVe ended the year successfully by giving the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet. XYe knew that the next year would find us on the home-stretch to graduation and we became thoughtful, which, in turn, is the mother of the forming of hopes and desires of the coming year. Lastly, but absolutely the best of all four years, comes our Senior year, when dreams of a High School pupil come true and you begin to think of the future and realize that your High School education serves only as a founda- tion for whatever you plan to follow in life. The class now has hfty-six members. Some have dropped out during the past four years, others have joined our ranks. Members of the Senior Class were well represented in all activities. VVe easily won the hare and hound chase from the Juniors and the Seniors that ran as hares all agree that Mr. Hilliard, who led us, is a good sprinter on cross-country. Good times have been had at parties of the class and different clubs. The junior-Senior Banquet was a splendid success and we feel sure that th Senior play will be more so. Friends have been made with everybody, and, if it were possible, we hope that some day on in the future the Class of 'Zl could gather around a table with the faculty and Prof. Beals and commemorate the four years of Page Forty-One PARCEN ' our High School life. Before adjourning, we would sing our High School song- VVe're loyal to you, M. H. S. -and we would sing it with as much pep and loyalness as we have sung it during the past four years. As we leave M. H. S. we want to ask the faculty and all persons who have known us personally to overlook our bad points and to try to see our good ones only. NVe admit our having faults, that we have made mistakes, and might have done better if we had but tried harder. But try to see us as we really are, not what we could or should be. Memories, which shall never be forgotten, we take with us and not one of us will live to regret our High School days so: M, H. S., here's to you Vlfe are leaving you true-blue. CG 97 Apercu VVe cry, VVe drink, VVe talk, VVe eat, VVe laugh, Play cards, VVe walk, And treat, Our mother's pride and joy. The fellows claim us now we iight, 'we love, VVe swear, We're led, And pants We woo, VVe wear, We wed, Gur father's little boy. At leisure we repent. VVe dance, 4 'We work.

We have been piloted thru the variable seas of Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior life by Dewain Thompson, Margaret Graham, and Huberta Cle- mans, respectively, who served with credit in the capacity of class presi- dents. At the beginning of the year we selected Elizabeth Evans for the of- fice of secretary-treasurer. The ho-nor of the class and school was upheld in all s-chool activities by various members. lille were represented in both football and basketball teams by Clarke Byam and Lloyd Hockaday. In all branches of athletics the loss of Clarke Byam will be deplored, but Lloyd Hockaday will prove a com- pensating factor because of his natural quickness and pep, Huberta Cle- mans, Ruth Ho-ckaday, and Ola Norris were members of the extraordinary girls' basketball team. In declamatory work, too, some of those who aspired to transcend the limited sphere of their studies attained honors. Nine of the class partici- pated in the different contests. Of this number Huberta Clemans, Margaret Graham, and Fred Stevenson received places in the ,preliminary contests thus entitling them to- speak in the final contest. Fred Stevenson secured first place in that contest, received first place in the Sub-District Contest at Postville and won third in the Pre-District at East Waterloo. An added ir centive for declamatory work next year will be offered bv the fact that the District Contest fwhich includes- all of the schools from Northeastern Iciwal will be held at Manchester. The winner of the hnal contfst will not be re- quired to speak at the preliminary contests requisite to attain a place in the District, but will be entered directly in that contest. Next fall the class will assemble for the last time. NVe hope that inter- est and enthusiasm will be exhibited in sufficient quantities to faithfully, cheerfully, and efficiently discharge those obligations incumbent upon that respected and dignified body,-a Senior High School Class. fl Page Forty-Five W PARCEN D Q 55155 SOPHOMOKES YY fi- glib ,5g,QX ' PARCEN . pa - 1 B tg Eight D ' QYFFQX-ssl7S'E -H- af Hs. The'Sophomore History In the month of September in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and nineteen, sixty of us Freshies found ourselves climbing the golden QD stairs to that marvelous goal-the assembly room. Otherssaid we were as green as the greenest of them, and we had to admit that we did not know as much as they did or pretended to know. The boys received more initiating than they deserved but bore it gra- ciously. VVe chose Lloyd Keiser as president to declare war and peace and to carry on all the other numerous duties of such a large republic. VVe enjoyed ourselves at several parties and were ever ready for another. Our class was well represented in athletics, contests and even the Bol- shevist element. Last fall when most of us answered the roll call as Sophomores, we found a higher goal to seek than M. H. S. 4 VVe selected Lodusky Kaster for our president and Eoma Clemans as Secretary and treasurer. Our girls' basket ball team distinguished themselves by defeating the Freshmen. The Sophomores are very proud of themselves because Eoma Clemans and Winnie VVork are star players on the varsity. We were well represented in the Glee Club's and Declamatory contests. Eoma Clemans was chosen to speak on the final contest. Many of us are now despairing in the last hope of safety after meeting Julius Caesar. Some of us were unlucky enough to have an introduction to him both in English and Latin. Our first Sophomore party was held at Porter's, and everyone reported an excellent time. For interesting details , ask Lloyd Keiser and Earl Derry. Our parties were few and far between, but we will try and make up for it next year. However, the next one was enjoyed at Faber's home. The whole school was well represented, but the cars failed. Everyone had a very good time Comitting the unspeakable pleasure in finding the way, the lack of chaperones and also the early UH hour of departurel. The third party was given at Frances VVright's home. Our fellow stu- dents of the High School attempted to join us, but for once the Sophoniores were hard hearted and refused to letthem in. VVe were very observent to school rules and regulations because we departed at 10:30. A As we depart to the different zones for vacation, we will look forward to a big and prosperous year as juniors. l Page Forty-Nine if , VAN PARCEN P g Fifty w ' 'X ? ff!

If you don't believe it, you should have been around after school and seen the poor Freshies,' running around with hair stream- ing down their backs or the -boys, trousers full of leaves or almost anything. When they had hazed us enough we had our first class meeting. Marion Blair was elected president, Kenneth Coltman, vice president, and Ruth At- water, secretary and treasurer. Our First party was held in the Congregational Church social rooms, Miss Klaus as chaperon. Of course, it couldn't be a party without upper class- men having their share in the fun. XN'e had prepared for them, though, for Windows and doors were all locked securelyg we thought so any way. just as the refreshments were being served, some Seniors came down the stairs and could only be persuaded to leave by their share in the Heats. When football season came around the Freshmen were well represented. In basketball the same. In the class games the Freshmen boys played the Juniors. Of course, the Juniors won, which was all we expected, but later the boys played the Sophomores and won. The girls played with the Juniors and lost. The girls then challenged the Sophomores to a game and lost only by one point. Miany Freshmen took part in the Declamatory Contests this Winter with one of our number winning the medal in the Humorous class. NVe had many members in the Glee Club.

He is full of fun and always has a pleasant word for all. He was well liked by all the boys on the team. He knows football from start to Iinish. He always had faith in the conduct of the team. Considering the material he has had to work with, Mr. Carter has put out some good teams during the time he has coached Ath- letics in Manchester. M. H. S. should be thankful that he will be back next fall to continus his good work. 1920 Football Season XYhen school started last September the big question was: VVhere is our material for football? There were only three men left from the squad of 1919. This did not make us down-hearted, for we called a meeting of all the boys at all interested, pumped up the old pig-skin and went to work. It was no easy task to build a strong team out of unexperienced and light men. llut with thc steady work of Mr, Carter, the enthusiasm of the boys and the help of the lllclieag llrothers, a temporary team was ready for business. After the First two games the team grew stronger and more exper- ienced. From this time on we only lost one game. During the season we lost to Greeley, Cedar Rapids and VVaverly. XVe tied with Epworth and were victorious over Monticello, Central City, Hop- kinton and lndependence. lYe can call the season of 1920 a very successful one for we defeated our old rivals, lndepcndence, on Armistice Day by a score of 26 to 0.-H. D. C. Page Fifty-Seven . VAN PARCE We . . HAROLD CORELL- EBBlE Left Halfback, Captain- Cap cannot be given too much praise for his football work. His playing during the past three years has been of such a quality that honor seemed to come to him as a natural consequence. He was the backbone of the whole team and when the moment was crucial it always fell upon Cap to do the heavy work. He was never out of the game and his excel- lent work on both defense and offense has won him the praise of the students of M. H. S. Cap will leave M. H. S. this year with the distinc- tion of being the best captain and all-around athlete that V M. H. S. has ever graduated. WILLIAM MCKEAG- BILLIE Quarterback-4 Billie was the one that led the way. He picked the weakest places in the oppon- ents' line and called the plays ac- cordingly. When playing defense he played the end position. He would take the run out of end- run. This is his last year in High School. DONALD DORMAN- DONNIE Fullback-Don was always on the job. When he was called on to carry the ball you could count on a gain. The strength of the opponent's line made but little difference to him. At defense he was a stone- wall support for the line. He will leave his position for someone else to fill next fall. Page Fifty-Eight CLAIR KLAUS- DICKIE Right Guard-When the ball was snapped he was the first man in motion. Guard was his position and guard he was, At defense he played end for he sure could smear the interference. His opponents us- ually went into a game with a smile but Dick would get it before the game was over. This is his last year to play for M. H. S. RONALD PRIDE- LARRIE Left End-A plucky chap with more nerve than a government mule. He was a whirlwind at end, gaining his position by his ability to catch forward-passes. He is one of the men M. H. S. will miss on the old gridiron next year. CLIFFORD ROBINSON- CLIFFIE Center-Clifford was a heady player. At offense he passed the ball with accuracy and speed and always to the right place. When playing defense he kept the oppon- ents guessing to tell where he was going through. I'll get him first, was his motto. They will look a long time next year to find a better man for that position. Page Fifty-Nine , VAN PARCENT ' CLARK BYAMf CLARKIE Right End-Clark had red hair-you know the rest. At offense he played his part to the best advantage. On defense he played Halfback, for he sure could smear forward-passes. He has one more year in which to play and should make a star player. .1 , . HOWARD BOXWELL - HOWDIE Right Tackle -f-Howard played football as though it were fun, and it was fun for him. His hobby was to tackle the man behind their own line and he seldom failed. He has two years left to keep up his good work. CHARLES DENTON -f CHARLIE Right Halfbaek- Charlie was troubled with weak ankles at the beginning of the season, but after fixing them, he soon made up for lost time. He held the rec- ord for throwing passes and was a constant ground- gainer. This is his last year to defend the Orange and Black. Page Sixty '55 oz T f-,, ff HSMC' -E -Q 49 , QQ, ' ' SZQQZ : RW LLOYD HOCKADAY- - HOCKIE Left Guard-Lloyd was as effic- ient a player as there was on the team. His lack of weight was not a handicap to him for his courage did away with that. This was his first year in football and he will be a valuable man next year. DURWARD GIBSON- GIBBIE Right Halfback- Gibbie started the season with a downhill pull till he sprained his ankle and had to give it up. He was a valuable backtield man and M. H. S. should feel thankful that he can play next year. CLARENCE MILROY- CHAUNCIE Left Tackle-Clarence was but a freshie both in High School and in football. He made his best show- ing in the Cedar Rapids game. He has the idea and in the next three years he should make an excellent player. Page Sixty-One PARCE ERNEST MCKEAG- REDDIE Sub. Centerf Red was a good player and filled his position well. He played the full game with Cen- tral City and one could plainly see that he did not disgrace the color of his hair. He hasytwo more years to play. ERNEST SHEPPARD- ERNIE Sub.-Ernest never knew what position he did play for they put him in any place they needed a good man. He was inexperienced when he started last fall, but he can't say that now. He has one more year to play on .the old gridiron for M. H. S. The Scruhs The quality of the first team depends largely upon the second team. They have to take the hard knocks night after night in practice. This is where you get your best training. Experience is our greatest teacherf' There were several of the boys on the second team given the opportunity of subbing on th first team in several games. The team of 1921 will be taken from the scrubs of 1920. H. D. CO. I Page Sixty-Two .

For the second time in school his- tory our girls' basket ball team was given the chance to show its excep- tional ability by entering the North- Eastern Iowa Tournament. This year, as in the past one, the team made an enviable record. The Tournament of 1921 was held at Monona in February. Fifteen of the strongest teams in this part of the State contested. Beside Man- chester. the teams entered were In- dependence, VX'aukon, Osage, Oelwein, Shell Rock, Luana, Decorah, New Hampton, Colesburg, Monona, Rockford, Cresco, Postville and Elkader. ln the preliminaries, Manchester drew Osage and played the second game in the Tournament, winning by a score of 24-6. Friday evening the team won over VVaukon 2l-6, Vilaukon having defeated Independence in the morning 7-6, Saturday morning Manchester met their old rivals from Oelwein and defeated them in the semi-finals 12-9. The other two teams still in the Held at this time were Postville and Monona. In the game following ours, Monona won by the close score of IO-9, leaving Manchester again to play the finals with the home team. Nothing daunted the girls went on the floor be- fore a huge crowd of spectators, and, after one of the best games ever played, lost by the close margin of 13-'l2. The Manchester team does not feel that the game should have been given to Monona. It is hard to lose a Tourna- ment by one point, but it is a credit to the sportsmanlike spirit of our girls the Tournament, which was also the close of the season, we can honestly say we are proud of our girls' team. that they took their defeat with a smile.

At the same time, she must figure out their good points and strength and find out where and how this strength can be used to the highest advan- tage. Of this latter, the player hears very little during the season, but it is constantly reminded of her mistakes and shortcomings. These gentle reminders are more ef- fective and to the point when given orally and spontaneously on the gymnasium floor than they would be were they tabulated and presented to each girl periodically. It may not be out of order to say something commentatory about the work of the indi- vidual players during the past season. No two girls are exactly alike in ability or temperament, neither are two basketball players exactly alike. Some have wonder- ful natural ability and talent, and though it is to their credit to do good work, a great deal more credit is due to the girl of only mediocre ability who, by conscientious work, perseverance and stick-to-it-iveness does even more for the team than the girl who stars. I might say to begin with, that I have never been connected with teams where there was a better spirit displayed all around, than by my girls this year and last. Each player had confidence in the team as well as in herself. No one played for self glory, but everyone was ready to sacrifice for team work. Every girl tried to do her part well as a part of a perfect machine. This is the spirit that counts in athletics and makes for winning teams. Unless a girl is willing to forget herself and sacrifice her own interests for those of the team, she has no right on that team. Taking up the work of the girls individually, I will first consider the ones who have played their last game of basketball for H. S. These girls will be greatly missed, leaving large holes to fill, but their work should be a spur to those who must fill their places next year. Captain Peggy McRoberts was undoubtedly the star player of the team. She made 169 points of the 194 scored by the team this year, outside of the tournament. As captain, she was fair-minded and impartial, and she knew the rule book from cover to cover. Dick Fletcher was an ideal center, for she was a tower of strength, lending con- fidence to the rest of the team. Her indomitable spirit gave the team lots of pep. Ida's place at guard will be a hard one to fill. Never out of condition, she was al- ways reliable in the game. Doris was probably one of the best guards that Manchester ever had. She was sure at catching the ball and had the strength and control to throw it exactly where it should go. Aside from this, she was a wall of defense, preventing anyone from get- ting around her and it was impossible to put her out of the way. Loraine was unfortunate in being injured during the greater part of the season. Had it not been for her lame knee, this would have been a banner year for her. She was a very keen-minded player. Huberta was a very fast guard. Her work was not showy but of the consistent sort that is the delight of coaches. She was quick, accurate at receiving and placing the ball and used her head every minute of the game. Shorty was an example of real basketball spirit. Always on deck, full of pep, never complaining, never missing a practice. She was absolutely fearless, and this com- binedwith great speed and unselfishness-always sacrificing self glory for team work- made her a good forward. Undoubtedly the surest foul shooter we had was Bob, Another year will put her second to none in northeastern Iowa, as a forward. There was no greater fighter on the team than Ruth Hockaday. Whether in a practice or a game, she played hard. One of the most faithful girls of the bunch was Ola Norris. She was a hard worker, out for practice early and late. M, H. S. is fortunate in having left such a good center.-F. K. K. ' - l Page Seventy , I5 WA Qi' ' fW'Nh . ' xv 4 V .

' C RTW Commercial Department The Commercial Department in the Manchester High School is of the highest grade of ebusiness training, containing departments in Spelling, Pen- manship, Bookkeeping, Gregg Shorthand, Touch Typewriting, and Com- mercial Law. Palmer Method of Penmanship is taught in this course. The training is so thorough that almost all scholars qualify as experts in rapid, legible pen- manship. The system of Bookkeeping taught in our school promotes economy, or- der and management. In Shorthand and Typewriting, a great many advantages are offered to those taking that course of study. The amount of speed required for gradua- tion is 120 words per minute in Shorthand and 40 net words per minute in Typewriting. Pupils who have graduated from this course in the Manches- ter High School are doing well in all sections of the State. No one can carry on business relations now without dealing with some form of property. Consequently a course in Business Law proves a very val- uable asset to everyone regardless of his occupation. The systems taught in the Commercial Department of the Mkanchester High School undertake to present the elementary principle, teaching ordinary business transactions as simply as po-ssible. The Commercial Department aims to lit all' students taking this course to be good citizens, as well as good business men and women.-I. M. Page Seventy-Five PARCEN fbi . -3. S fi -f- gff M-H. T - ' 'dawg Normal Training Department This department is comparatively new in Manchester High School. lt has been here as a side department for several years, but only for the last two years have special teachers been employed for this branch of work. Last year Mrs. Hilliard piloted us through the tangles of the junior Normal Courseg this year Mrs. Hinsdell has been with us. . There are lifteen girls who graduate from this department this year. They are Leone Aldrich, Miabel Dorman, Leona Elsbury, Helen Faust, Helene Hockaday, Alma Jewel, Maude Johnston, Inez Lernrond, Marion Mangold, Mabel Preussner, Emily Reisner, Helen Smith, Gladys Swenson, Zella Sill, and Ida Trumblee. We have had a very thorough study of School Management and Teaching the Common Branches, under Mrs. Hinsdell. We have also had an opportunity to observe the teachers in the grades and to do practice teach- ing in each grade. Some of us have been observing and practicing two sem- esters, others only one, but all of us feel that we have had training that will help us very much next year. There are quite a number of junior Girls enrolled in this department also, NVe hope that they will keep up the high record that they have started. And now since we are almost through with our High School days we wish to thank our friends, especially the grade teachers, Mrs. Hinsdell and Mrs. Hilliard for the help and suggestions we have received.-H.

The Glee Club was one of the largest there has ever been in High School, comprising 36 in number. Miss Hilda Madgsick, of Charles City, who was 'with us last year, was able to return again in the Fall, much to our satisfaction. Manchester High School was very fortunate in being able to secure such a competent instructor as Miss Madgsick has proved to be in the past two years. The Glee Club sang at the declamatory contestss and were well re- ceived at all other functions in which they participated. Some of the num- bers given were: My Honey .... Frank Lynes Night Sinks in the Vlfave . . Henry Smart To a Wfild Rose . . MacDoWell Carmen ....... Unknown Cantique De Noel .... Adolph Adam We are hoping that the girls will be able to further their training. The Glee Club and Miss Madgsick were very fortunate in having Miss Mona Goodwin as pianist. Miss Goodwin's clear understanding of music and her capability as a pianist has helped to make this year's Glee Club a great success. , Octette The Girls' Octette consisted of a Hpeppyu bunch of girls, always alert. Those who were fortunate enough in being chosen to .sing in the Octette were: First Soprano- Second Soprano- Zella Sill Margaret Graham Marie Hennessey Lela Wright First Alto- Second Alto- Huberta Clemans Fern Fletcher Hazel Seymour Clara Mclieag The Octette sang at various places, including the Coun'ty Institute, W.

They were very unfortunate in losing sixteen of their members on account of graduation. some moving away, and various other reasons. Miss Madgsick took new material and has developed a Glee Club that M. H. S. may well be proud of. Since their organization they have met every Tuesday night and have worked faithfully and diligently.

On October 4th the juniors, Seniors and Faculty met at the Fish Hatchery to settle the class supremacy by a Hare and Hounds chase. The teams were chosen and as far as possible basketball girls and boys were picked. The Senior team- Margaret, Loraine, Virginia, Ethel, Alma, Ronald, Russell, Harold, Cliff, Dale and Mr, Hilliard-started on their cross country run, scattering pieces of torn paper as they went. After a certain length of time the juniors started. Their team consisted of Huberta, Ruth, Ora, Margaret, Clark, Lloyd, Harris, Qrville, Arlo, Carl and Mr. Carter. The Juniors failed to find the Seniors in the time given them, but both teams enjoyed about a seven mile run. Dur- ing the chase there had been smaller races and contests held among the other class members and in these also the Seniors triumphed. VVhen we saw the teams returning we despaired of not only not having any basketball teams. but even feared for our Coach and Superintendent. However, two big fires and a wienie roast seemed to revive everyone and we all enjoyed it immense- ly, even the juniors, Hard Times Party To fit the times, the Seniors decided to have a Hard Times party. What could hardly be recognized as our class met on November 19th in the High School Gymnasium. The usual refreshments were served, but instead of the ordinary methods of entertainment the amusement was afforded by simply looking around. Miss Riddell, Bill Durey and Dick Klaus carried off thc honors.

Small groups of Seniors would collect in the hall flowerj and on the approach of a lower classman would cease talking, thereby arousing no little curiosity. In this manner the dee tails of a class surprise party on Harold were settled. Although the weather seemed against the party, on November 29th about ten cars filled with Sen- iors managed to somehow slip and slide along the Delaware, where their efforts were repayed by the surprise and the party as a Whole. VVe feel sure that Miss Riddell enjoyed herself as she didn't seem, in the least, to tire of biting.-H. Ay C. To Miss Riddell As we go from M. H.

S. for a student committee of some sort that would represent in condensed form the student body and aid in producing a school spirit. So last year the P. E. P. Club was formed as an experiment to try to really aid and boost M. H. S. The people elected tc- membership were to be the most enthusiastic of the four classes. They were chosen largely because they had shown abil- ity to lead and to push things among their fellow students. ln other words, the purpose of the Club was to guide the students in working for the best interests of the student-body in an earnest desire for a greater school spirit in M, H. S. The Club, under the leadership of Miss Klaus and Mr. Carter, proved to be a success and from time to time the membership has been in- creased, although it does not and could not embrace all of the peppy students. So it was decided to make it a permanent organization. This last year the club has added to its membership Margaret McRoberts, William Durey, Har- old Corell, Clifford Robinson, Charles Denton, Harris McGee and Harold Putnam. The club gave a banquet for the football team, which was the greatest feature for the year. Although this Club will lose many of its best members who are Seniors, they will be replaced next year by recruits from the classes. The responsibilities and opportunities of this Club are, indeed, great, but the members hope, in time, to raise thedstandard of school spirit to its uttermost.

Clair Klaus The Krazy SH Club was formed and duly organized in the fall of 1920, by eight football players, who, having shared together the trials, tribulations and pleasurs of the football season, wished to continue their relationship throughout the school year. Thus, the forming of this club was considered by themselves a just compensation for their efforts put forth on the gridiron for the honor of M. H. S. The first social event staged by the Club was a 'Turkey-Banquet at the home of Lo-raine Bradley. Mr. Carter and his wife, Miss Riddell and Miss Klaus were invited as well as the lady friends of the members of the Club. Not a word shall be said as to where the turkeys came from, but to go on, a most pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. Cigars were passed and all the boys took one Qlater gathered up by Miss Riddell, by the wayj. Coach Car- ter capped the climax by presenting Captain Corell with a watch-fob consist- ing of a miniature gold football engraved Captain IQ2O,,, and of which we are all proud. Everyone departed homeward in the best of spirits. Next to come was a picnic which was a booming success. The members again invited their lady friends and, well, you know, halls' well that ends well, Say! Gang, did we ever meet together down in McKeag's bakery and have regular stag partiesn all by ourselves? Did we? ----T Sh!! Not so loud. All in all, the members of the club have been as one all this year. The Seniors, especially, who are leaving this year, will, some day, as they read this annual, wish they were back in dear old M. H. S., with the same fellows and the same girls they used to invite. But to come back to the present, the members have attained their end in a better understanding among themselves and have made themselves worthy of each other's fellowship.
