I Q SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1922, thirty-six chose to board the train of education and make a four- year journey to gain a high school education. The first year of the course was very tiresome, for we were a bunch ot self-made kids, fearing that we might do something wrong. The assembly was certainly a new place for we stood with our mouths gaped open ready to hear or see everything that took place, By the encouraging words of our faculty, Mr. Totten, Miss James, Miss Custer, and Mr. VVilliam,s, we held up our heads, used our will-power and traveled through the valleys, The class, subject to disappointments, had to make a stop, for Miss Custer was un- able to be with us the entire term, and gave her place to Miss Van Petten. As our new teacher was only a substitute, we made another stop in order to receive Miss Flannigan. XVe did not gain so much knowledge as experience: but finally arrived safely at our first stop. Then began the second year of our journey with the number somewhat decreased. The faculty this year were: our same old engineer, Mr. Totten, Mr. Williams, Mrs. Olson, Miss Sampson, and Miss Blakely. Soon Miss Sampson entered upon the sea of matrimony and Miss Mahoney was ready to take her place. This course seemed as though the Sophomores were never able to have any parties but, near the close of school, Mrs. Olson, our sponsor, decided we would have a hike and weiner roast. Well, we thought that was one of the most enjoyable happen- ings that ever took place. When the gang returned to school, we felt proud indeed to hear other classnien say, Wonder where the Sophomores have been? As we were gaining on our journey to education, we stopped for the second time for rest. ln 1924 the third division of the journey was started with thirteen old members, and to our surprise, a new one, Fred Rector iBushD hailed from California to help us. At the end of the first semester the call for recreation over came Florence Justice, so therefore making our number a lucky thirteen. We took the name of Jolly Juniors and tried very hard to live up to our emblem, HJ. J. This is a year to be remembered for no rugged rocks had we to climb. Our officials were Mr. Nuzum, who was ever ready to lend a helping hand, Miss Duncan, to whom we all looked forward to for information in our subjects, Miss Hiatt, who nearly lost her patience but, was always jollyg Mr. Arbuckle, the boys' man, also our sponsorg and Mrs. McCarty, who we all looked forward to for opening exercises. The kitchen was turned into a hospital and the Junior girls studied home nursing with Miss Duncan. We gained much knowledge from the course and hope some day We may make use of it. The Junior boys took a course called animal husbandry under Mr. Arbuckle's in- structions. Here they took special care in preparing hot beds and talking of minor discussions. Always having the desire to have a bob-sled party and many times planned for one, but the weather was always unfavorable. At last we thought the time had come, but to add to former disappointments, when we all gathered at town, the horses had strayed to some mysterious place. So we went to Josephine Ebbertt's in automobiles instead. 1926

ve' nf' 'ff Q ' J , 0 The class enjoyed another party at Wilma White's. VVe girls enjoyed ourselves most for the boys had to turn the ice cream freezer. Longing for excitement, the thirteen were seen strolling into the dear old assem- bly one spring morning, the girls wearing hair ribbons and the boys knee trousers. One more incident we shall linger over the fond memories is the birthday luncheon the class gave for Miss Duncan. Mr. Arbuckle and the janitor were chief entertainers. It being our hobby to spring surprises on other classmen, we marched into the as- sembly looking like our forefathers and mothers. lt being what we termed as 'told clothes day. A bunch of uuncivilized kids was what somebody classed us. During the month of April we could look far ahead and see a rugged hill standing in our pathway waiting for us to climb it. This being the Junior-Senior reception. At last the summit of the hill was reached with many hardships and the occasion was a success. During the year we gave our time and help to see the high school Vande- vi1le and the play, Once In a Blue Moon, a hit. On the 18th of April, as the brakeman applied the brakes to the huge locomotive, we regretted to see such a year over. 'Then we made a final stop to prepare for the last lap of our journey. Just a little remembrance to one of our fellow travelers, who stood by us all three years of the journey. VVe sadly parted with Helen Justice, who was called to the nearby town of Anderson. She will ever be remembered by the Class of 1926, for her faithful- ness and honor to her class. On the last day of August, 1925, the Juniors had to give up the name we loved so well and take up the name of Seniors. Again we thought of our motto, Climb though the rocks be rugged, for the crew was weary with three years of hard travel. We were growing older and seemed to lay aside some of our prankish jokes, for we had work before us. This year we had parties at Josephine Ebbertt's, Wilma White's, and Myron Haynes'. Also a few Seniors slipped into some of the other classmen's affairs. Two interesting events that took place were the High School Vaudevil1e under the auspices of the Senior class and our class play. Our boys this year were unusually active in basketball. Bush, Ben, Raw, Ralph, and Mus representing the class. We also have some good students that like to talk and have their fun. Considering us as a whole, we think the daily dozen is a honorable bunch. Let's let Mr. Noland comment on that. Many hardships with great handicaps had to be overtaken as the wave of life roar- ed on. By the encouraging and sympathetic words of Mr. Noland, the daily smile of Mr. Ewing, the everlasting patience of Miss Williams, and the cherry voice of Mrs. McCarty, the twelve finally passed over the rugged rocks. As we approach the end of our Senior year at dear old M. H. S., a feeling of sadness overcomes us. We just began to realize that the happiest days of our lives are drawing to a close, Thus we find ourselves stepping from the train, which took us on our journey to gain a high school education, out into the world. 1926
