Wlno's Who Of our High School we're very proud, .Our colors always flying highs The Orange and Black of M. H. S. Stream out in pennants toward the sky. The faculty has had in hand The shaping of our lives, you knowg Has taught us in the ways of life 0'er which we soon shall go. Mr. Thompson, our principal, Has been here through our high school years of four, And for the sake of those who follow us We hope he'll be here many, many more. In science Mr. Runkwitz shines, He knows science from A to Z. His subjects, Chemistry and Physics, Zoology and Botany. The fine way Miss Pergande teaches Must not be forgotten By her pupils, nor her subject, Which is nothing less than Latin. Miss Stockton teaches English And in this she does excel, She can quote from Shakespeare, Keats and Burns And Tennyson quite as well. Mathematics? Go to Mr. Speer, On your questions he'll throw light, And with Algebra and Geometry Helll try to set you right. Miss Mueller's line? Commercial work! Bookkeeping, Typing, Shorthand. She can keep books like an expert And type to beat the band . Miss Linkenhelt can sing quite well, And ranging up and down the scale, Her music makes you feel as though You are listening to a nightingale. Our athletic Coach is Mr. Floyd. He keeps the boys in trim, So that when they face the enemy They can do naught but win. And now that the faculty Has been defined as worthy, We will introduce the members Of the Class of nineteenfthirty. E233
