THE ANNUAL EDITORIALS A fact to be deplored is the lack of a proper room for our dinner pupils. These people are entitled to a separate room and a comfortable place to eat their dinners. Instead of this they have to leave their dinner boxes with their coats and hats in the various cloak rooms of the building, none of which are too large, then at noon they are sent to the study rooms where they spend the noon hour in uncomfortable seats and in the same atmosphere that has been breathed over and over again by the pupils occupying the room in the morning. Is this healthful and is it fair to the dinner pupils ? Thus, notwithstanding the fact that they must eat cold lunch, they are compelled to remain in comparative discomfort dur¬ ing the entire dinner hour. The Literary Societies of M. H. S. seemed to have dropped below the horizon of their local record. The rhetoricals of the separate classes are carrieJ on the same as when under the head of a Literary Society, and the plan of the program has only digressed a little from the old rule, so on the whole we are able to see no depreciating effects of its departure. The fifteen commencement speakers were chosen by the teachers from the thirty elected by the class. The names are Hazel Hipp, Emma Warring, Marie Brunk, Ruth Hursh, Samuel Garber, Vulah Greenlee, Helen Webber, Donald Willis, Walter Schlegel, Leo McCollough, Charles Stevenson, Carl Oberlin, Mary Dunham, Howard McDaniel Valedictorian, and Edna Swartz Salutatorian. A great many numbers by the Glee Club quartet, together with solos both instrumental and vocal have been arranged. 1 he theme of this years commencement which is to be held June nth will be on the noted centennials. We wish to thank our Advisory board Miss Holland and Miss Feldner for their cheerful and valuable help given to us, the staff, in the publishing of the Annual. We also are very grateful to Mr. Beckett and members of the commer¬ cial department for their assistance in typewriting the various manuscripts. They not only aided the staff but showed their effeciency and materially aided the printer who will remember them with the kindest of thoughts. Owing to the state law, fire escapes have been provided for every room in the building: although they are a great improvement over the old way of exit they do anything but improve the appearance of the exterior of the building. — 8 —

THE ANNUAL During the year the different classes have assembled in the auditorium to lis¬ ten to many noted speakers many of whom gave us rare treats a fact which ought to be appreciated by us all. Among the most eminent were Gov. Hanley, George R. Stuart, Dr. C. C. Miller of Lima College, Rev. J. C. Roberts, of Wapakonetta; Dr. M. E. Bates Pres., of Hiram College and Mr. Weston the world famous walker. Rhetorical exercises of the different classes are no longer held in the auditor¬ ium but in room No. 24 which was the girls basket-ball room. Seats have been put in and here Miss Swaim holds sway. For this reason girls’ athletics have been discontinued. A new social feature of the Senior Class is the party which we are giving to ourselves at the Masonic Hall on the twenty-eighth of May. Considerable attention has been paid by the board and by the Superintendent to Manual Training and Domestic Science. We hope that it may be of some con¬ sequence and that at some future time not far distant that this useful and impor¬ tant branch may be established in our Public Schools. Athletics this year have proven to be a great success and we are indeed proud of ourselves. The board so kindly gave their consent and now that we have shown them how excellently we can do, we hope that they will favor athletics the coming year, for since we have been able to do it once we can surely ' ' keep the good work up.” Were there a rule of the Board of Education compelling girls to wear their hair in that style commonly seen about M. H. S., necessitating the going without hats, a greater excitement and opposition would be raised than that caused by the Whitla Kidnapping Case. It has been said,” To some men happiness means three meals a day and a place to sleep. To others getting the proper shade on a meerschaum pipe.” But we all know this does not apply to Mr. Hall. To come upon him some day dreaming of a nice quiet little stream where they bite good, radiates happiness even to the sorrowing mortals who stand aside patiently awaiting excuses. We wish to call attention to the contributions of our advertisers, to whom we are very thankful for their monetary aid. Also, we wish to thank the teachers and pupils for their advice and kindly interest which has so materially aided us in our work. The teachers who were here last year have written us from various places: Miss Carson is teaching Mathmatics in the High School at Duluth; Mr. Holmes and Mr. Blankenhorn are in the west, Mr. Holmes having charge of the commercial de¬ partment in the San Diego High School, and Mr. Blankenhorn teaching English in the Pueblo High School; our Science teacher Mr. Agler is Superintendent of Schools at Kingston, Ohio; Miss Waugh is a teacher in the grades in - 9 -
