The A arm Page Twenty-nine Freshmen Class History ONCE UPON a time, long, long ago (to be exact, in the fall of 1923) a freshman class came to M. H. S. to learn. At first they were rather timid, but they soon became accustomed to the ways of the school and fitted into their places. Miss McMorris was elected as class advisor and she was afraid she might have to do some advising the first thing, but Norman finally changed her mind by deciding that as it was Ruth’s last year in school, he would wait until next year to play with Marjorie. The next event of importance was the Freshmen-Sophomore party. Everyone had a good time. Mr. Perry reported that two boards had been skipped out of the floor. After the party, the class set to work with their studies. Martha Johnson, Elva McKune and Helen Edlefson proved to be fine mathematicians. Under Mrs. Anderson's supervision, Arvid Stonewall, Orlo Aumann and Karl Isaacson developed into fine English students. Karl tells us that he just loves to write formal invitations. When Miss McBride came back after Christmas vacation to inform us that she was Mrs. Ousley, the Freshmen were the very first to give her a wedding gift. After New Year’s Day, Marguerite seemed to take advantage of the fact that it was Leap Year. During the New Year, the class lost three of its members: Foster Hewitt, who wanted to go to work, John Gish and Clifford Stier. The class has taken an active part in the Literary Programs. Virgil Hayward and Doris Olson have shown a remarkable talent for oratory. Gwendolyn Czech and Ruby Mott are also good in this line. Claretta Lath-rop and Darlene Souser have very good singing voices and Bessie Hamilton and Nellie Hartz use their voices for speaking. And so, we hope, that every day in every way the class will grow better and better. SPEAKING OF ENDURANCE Lester: Just one more kiss before 1 leave. Jeanette: No; we haven't time. Father will be home in an hour. FINANCIAL NOTE Norman: What happened to your hair? No waves to-day? Ruth: “Low tide, honey.

Page Thirty The A arm Freshmen Class Prophecy IN THE magic depths of my crystal globe 1 see a bright future for the class of 192 7. As Sophomores, its members will make a brilliant record. Ella Swan and Arnold Olson will outshine their fellow classmen in geometry and if Mrs. Ousley is still teaching, Karl Draper and Kenneth Blackmer will prove to be wonderful history students. As Juniors, the class will carry away all honors. Karl Isaacson, Virgil Hayward, Arvid Stonewall and Orville Thompson will help to form one of the most powerful athletic teams ever known in the history of M. H. S. Marjorie Swanson, to whom is destined a quiet and domestic life, will perhaps take cooking. Doris Olson, with her dark hair and black eyes will be a real frenchy French student, if Stacey Dabler doesn't hang around TOO much. At the end of their Junior year, Viola Krebbs and Helen Peterson will leave M. H. S. and go to DeKalb. As Seniors the class will have the honor of being the largest ever known to graduate from M. H. S. The Normal Training class will include Claretta Lathrop, Ruby Adams, Florence Marshall, Martha Johnson, Viva Stier, Elva McKune and Lola Hunt. By that time Shorty” will have persuaded Marguerite to give up her plans for college and study Domestic Science. Glenn Swan and Orlo Aumann will be preparing to study for the ministry, after graduation. Gwendolyn Czech and Ruby Mott will be preparing to enter Vassar. Darlene Souser and Helen Edlefson will give the Seniors a Ball, and Bessie Hamilton and Lois Pierson will do a lot of entertaining. Eric Carlson will be Valedictorian and Marvin Miller, Salutatorian. Marie Elliott and Nellie Hartz will take the leading rolls in the Senior Class Play. Clara Heurlin will direct the Senior Operetta. There will be theatre parties and dances. So, with much gayity, the year will end, and the members of the class of 192 7 will go out into the wodd to meet their fate. £. J. J. '2 7 Oh My! Miss McBride she went away. Oh, my!
