FACULTY POEM A cheer for the teachers of old M. H. S. Just how much we owe them we never can guess. Miss Patterson down at the end of the hall, Miss Ruess who is loved and honored by all. Miss Brightman, the one whom the Freshies all fear, And now comes our teacher of Physics, Jess Beer. Miss Cotton who gives those dread tests of one word, Miss Jordan of whom we know you’ve all heard, Miss Connett so frank, so calmly serene, Mr. Lloyd, not tall, but exceedingly lean. Miss Schmidt who tries to make us all mind, Miss Finfrock who shows you how X to find. Mr. Bauer who teaches one the correct way to write, And helps you out of many a plight. Miss Moore so calm, so gentle and dear, Miss Shires who makes all she teaches auite clear. Mr. Kaiser, a man of notable worth. Miss Padgett who squelches all uncalled for mirth, Miss Aberle, who at the Seniors does rave And declares in time they’ll drive her to the grave. Muriel who is liked by all in the school, Mrs. Wagner, one person you really can’t fool. Mr. Ward who works with all his might, Miss Bowers who thinks every Sophomore just right. Then Patton, so famous in this M. H. S., A coach worth having, now this we confess. Miss Ort so friendly, our teacher of “Dutch,” Miss Leonard who teaches us English and such. Carmine who is capable, honest and true, Miss Bedgar who loves kindly deeds to do. Too much about Davis we really can’t say, No matter what’s wrong he will surely find a way. And last, Mr. Helter whom we seldom see, Exceedingly busy, I’m sure you’ll agree. So, a cheer for the teachers of old M. H. S. Just how much we owe them we never can guess. PAGE ELEVEN

Another year has slipped by and once more the Annual— ah—not the Annual but “The Red and White” makes its ap¬ pearance to witness the departure of the Seniors from that dear old school we all love so well. Many of us may never meet again, but ever will we be joined by a firm and lasting band, that of Friendship. Thus, if, as time rolls on the contents of this volume may recall to your minds a few pleasant recollections of your life at M. H. S. we, who have edited “The Red and White” will not feel our labors were all for naught. Oh, the joys and pleasures of a Staff consisting of a fine display of nervous chills, chattering teeth and furrowed brows with a hand wringing exhibition on the side? All these feats could have been witnessed free of charge by simply glancing at one of those fated beings of the Staff. Such a stupendous task none of us had ever undertaken before and few know better than we ourselves of the blunders within these pages, but we beg you, be blind to our errors and overlook our faults. Life itself is made up of mistakes. We have tried and done our best. How can we express our appreciation to those teachers and advertisers who have made this publication possible. Much we owe them, and very much we wish to thank them. Several new teachers were added to the faculty this year,. Miss Schmidt, Mr. Ward, Miss Shires and Mr. Lloyd. They have all proven their ability as teachers. We all pride ourselves as being true Americans. We are living in a history making age, will we prove that we are true Americans ? As we go forth into life let us keep before us some ideal after which we may pattern our lives: “Hitch your wagon to a star” is an old but very worthy quotation and should apply to the life of everyone. Let us, however, not think only of our own welfare. There are others in this world beside ourselves, many who often need a helping hand to guide them over some of the rough places in life. So often those who are ascending the ladder to the Hall of Fame care not for the ones upon whom they are trampling, in their eagerness to reach their own goal; but that is not the spirit of a true American. This old world is so full of wonderful things awaiting to be done. Let us get busy and do our share in helping make this age the very best in history. And by the way, isn’t it funny so many of the people who knock really couldn’t have done a single bit better them¬ selves !! Motto. PAGE TEN
