SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On a certain balmy day in September 1919, a much bewildered group of fourteen boys and girls entered the realm of old M. H. S. At last, we had reached one goal in our journey through school,-we were Freshmen, show- ing all the traits that the name implies. Under the watchful eyes of upper classmen and instructors we wee, timorous ones recited, with knees knock- ing together and with voices trembling. As soon as we became more ac- customed to our new surroundings, we elected Mary Bartlett, president, we chose blue and White for our colors, and the symbolical flower, the forget- me-not, for our flower. It was during this year that our superintendent, Mr. Loyd Cohn, died and C. C. Covey took his place. The most thrilling event of the year was our initiation, which the Juniors administered. The next fall we returned not to M. H. S., but to M. C. H. S., for our high school had been made a community one. We were fewer in number, because six members-Harold Bartlett, Chester Stevens. Fred Carmichael, Ferne Vkfatkins, Clifford Wack, and Willard James had decided to go no further. However, we gained one member, Raymond Davidson, who had been our classmate when we were in the lower grades. As Sophomores, we were not so very meek and verdant, and we acquired a great deal of knowledge of Geometry and Caesar, under the supervision of Miss Strass- burger and Miss Pricer. VVith our reputation established as worthy of be- ing a class of M. C. H. S., we finished our second year of high school. and passed into another year of events. Next, we were Juniors-with the one event in sight-the Junior-Sem ior banquet. How eagerly. yet anxiously, we waited for the spring of '22'l After much effort on our part, we finally were ready for the night of all nights. Mr. and Mrs. l.. J. Cope kindly allowed us to use their home for our banquet hall. The affair was not exactly gorgeous ,but just pleasing to the eyes, as well as to the taste. This year we lost three of our members: Mary Hubbard, Zelda Ray, and Sophia Hendricks. It was with bounding hearts that we passed into the Senior class under the leadership of Harold Powell, our Senior president. Our greatest achieve- ment this year was the help we gave in publishing the Annual, of which you may be the judge. As time for graduation draws near, we wish to extend our thanks to the Faculty, who have always aided us in our difficulties, and to the Board of Education, who have made possible this new building, and to entreat the other classes to cherish the name of Senior, as we have done. NVith these last thoughts. we bid farewell to M. C. H. S. iw -Cleo F. Skeels. 1923
