The A arm Page Thirty-one Literar 1 Societies 'Tv HE LITERARY activities have played a great part in the school life. I With the help of these the students will be able to make public speeches with greater ease. The Literary programs are given every two weeks, alternatively. The programs consist of instrumental music, piano and vocal solos, readings, essays, biographies, prophecies, and histories, newspapers, extemporaneous speeches. As yet we have had but one debate.

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!
