Editorials For a long time the students of M. H. S. have been asking for a form of govern- ment in which they would directly help to make and execute the laws. After much hard work and conscientious effort on the part of those appointed to formulate some plan of student government this dream has finally materialized. As is the case with any innovation, there were many objectors to the system offered. Those in favor of the plan, however, greatly outnumbered the objectors and soon many of these were appeased or at least ceased to object so emphatically. Everyone appreciates the fact that this was a great step in advancement and we are glad that 22 has had the opportunity of furthering such a project. The subsequent classes will be able to carry out in detail the system merely begun, and we wish them success in their work. What student has not benefited by the advantages of our library? There is hardly a person in the whole school who has not profited by it, for there one can easily and quickly find just the right thing. It seems unbelievable that we were ever able to get along without this very important and necessary part of the school. During the past year we have added to our collection new books, which are all classified and looked after in such a way that we are justly proud of our library. But do we often think how all this came about? We must not forget our friend Mrs. Neumann, who was willing to take care of it so that we might have access to the books which we so often find necessary during our high school life. Three cheers for Mrs. Neumann! The Bond Issue and the New High School were the topics of the day when we were Freshmen. As such we had great visions of ourselves enjoying the advantages of a beautiful new high school building. Much to the disappointment of all, these proved to be only day dreams, for as Seniors we are now leaving the same old M. H. S. which we entered four long years ago. Each year conditions have become a little worse, and if those who wish the advantages of a high school education are to be properly taken care of something will have to be done very soon. Our dreams at one time seemed near fulfillment when we heard with excitement that a site for a new building had been chosen. Our hopes dropped to the depths again when nothing came of it, as was to be expected. But we are still as hopeful as when we were Freshies. Perhaps some day we may be influential in enabling Mansfield to boast of a High School perfect in every sense of the word. This has been a year in which many new things have happened. Among other things was the organization of clubs, which is another advancement that has come to old M. H. S. These clubs were of such varied character that everyone was able to find one in which he was especially interested. Those who belonged to these clubs and in their programs know that this new venture has been interesting as well as educational, and certainly a complete success. The Staff wishes to thank Mr. Whitehouse, who has so kindly given us advice and helped us at all times. We owe special thanks to Miss McClure, without whom we should often have bsen lost. She was never too busy to look after us and see that we kept going in the right direction. We are also grateful to Miss Patterson for the val- uable assistance which she gave us, and to all the teachers who have in any way helped us to publish this Annual. It would seem that the busiest people are the most willmg to help, and the most capable. This is especially true of Raymond Winters, to whom much of the success of the art department is due. It was only necessary to ask Ray- mond and the thing was done most willingly and in the best possible way. Donald Speiser also should receive credit for the work which he has done, for a glance at the Athletic headings will prove his skill. Last, but by no means least, we thank Ruth Miller, who has made very fine drawings, among which are the class headings. We indeed appreciate and thank all who have contributed in any way toward the success of this Annual.
