Teachers, pupils and all those who have in any way assisted us in making this year-book a success have our heartiest thanks. Unity and co-operation are necessary in any endeavor of this kind for you know, ' United we stand. ' We hear a lot about M. H. S., but little about the Commer- cial class. This suggestion was offered by one of our Seniors. Among the students who are taking this course we find some of our very best, most loyal and steadfast workers. They have the desire to enter the commercial world and they are prepared after Graduation, to fill good positions. This department of the High School is well equipped and has excellent teachers and we recommend it highly. Do we appreciate our opportunities, our blessings of health and youth ? Sometimes we tire of our lessons and our school life, but the parting of the ways comes all too soon; then we will be separated from these friends mth w hom vfe have been in such close touch for four years. It may be weeks or months or even years before w e see them again. May vfe realize the fact that this is the happiest period of our lives, and enjoy it to the fullest ex- tent and make good use of its golden opportunities. A High School debating club was organized in the fall, and the foUovifing officers were elected: President, Earl Kochheiser; Vice-president, Robert Remy; Secretary, Arthur McBride; Treas- urer, Edgar Wycoff. The purpose of the club was to train it ' s members in oratory and the topics for debate were popular questions of the day.

U:l%% iiU.L It was with doubt and trembling that w e entered upon our duties as members of the staff. We each had numerous ambitions and plans by the score but w e soon found that to plan was much easier than to do. We hope that the contents of this book meet with your approval for we have tried to do our best. We were sorry to have Mr. Goldsworthy leave our High School. He had proved himself an efficient teacher of mathe- matics and a loyal friend to the students during his stay in Mans- field. It is our hope that he may find his new field oivforh. very agreeable. Although Miss Mary Bushnell preferred Mr. Baker to us we extend to her our heartiest congratulations and best wishes for happiness in her new home. We know that our loss is someone else ' s gain. Miss Dorothy Bushnell fitted admirably into the place, in Study I left vacant by her sister. But soon she left us to become the domestic science teacher, after Miss Beck ' s resignation. A desire for more thorough and more interesting work along scientific lines led to the organization of the Science Club, v ith Paul Hoover as president. The meetings held were very bene- ficial to those who attended them. The Shadow Club, introduced into the High School by Mrs. Loren Jones, with Miriam Gugler as president, has been a siic- cessful and helpful organization. Meetings have been held on Wednesday mornings from 8:15 to 8:50, under the leadership of Miss Chalfant and Miss Jordan. A chapter from the Bible was studied each vireek. This Club has been a potent factor in influencing the girls of our High School to lead better lives. Preparedness! That is the great question before the nation today. We are being prepared daily in our High School work, not to die; but to live for our country. We are in training for good citizenship and usefulness to mankind, and surely that is the best kind of preparation. PAGE FIVE
