Mall' SENIOR CLASS HISTORY September 10 192-t twenty-two frightened boys and girls having passed the county examination entered high school and went by the name of green freshies. And we certainly lived up to our name. With tl1e aid of Miss Hiatt our sponsor and the other it 'ill and had much fun and happiness. As the other classes had officers. We decided to have a class meeting., and elect some too. Our oflicers were: President Ethel Adams' Vice-President Chester Baker' Secretary and Freasurer Herman Hankins. ll e only h-id 'i fevs class parties but enjoyed them and also others that we were in- vited to, immensely. One we will never forget is the one the Sophomores gave for us at Hallowe en time in the gym. They also initiated us but were not very severe because of our greenness. Two other parties one at Alfred Ebbertt s and the other at Ann Cooper s will not soon be forgotten. This year we also took part in the well known play Once ln 't Blue Moon. Upon .ntering our Sophomore year we were very unfortunate in losing four of our t'I'lS.1II'l'l.l9S' namely Herman Hankins Irene Marsh Chester Baker and Emory Hodson but in return gained Florence Lovett Clenn Ebbertt and I eonard Markle who have been very loyal and faithful workers. This year we were more interested in school activities such 'ts plays orchestra glee clubs 'md basketball. VVe surprised the entire student hotly faculty and boosters by winnirg the tirst class tournament in the history of our .rc-hool. Ar 1 result of the victory over the Seniors in the final game the girls of the Iunior and Sophomore classes gave a banquet in honor of the Sophomore boys. This was held in the gymnasium. A party at Virginia lewis vias greatly enjoyed that year too. Our class otTicers were: Pre.ident Ethel Adams: ViceaPresident Ann Cooper' Sec- lFi'1l'j-TI'9'lCllI'6l' Virginia Lewis. With the help of Miss Vtilliftms our spon or and Mr. Noland Mr. Ewing and Mrs. McCarty, we fini.hed our second year of high school. Our luuior year was '1 year packed full of work and fun and I know that none of the members will forget it. ll e were very sorry though at losing tvso more members Fred Chadwick and our pre.ident Ethel Adams. This left us only seventeen members. A large number of our members girls as well as boys were represented in basketball and we can truly say that our class helped to make the school a success for 1926 and 1927. Our teachers this ycar were Miss Pearson, sponsor: Miss Stohler, Mrs. McCarty, Mr. Noland and Mr. Ewing. Our class officers were: President, Glenn Ebberttg Vlce-Presi- dent. Velma Bond: Secretary, Myron Mitchell, and Treasurer, Howard Gale. A party at Gynethia Seward's was enjoyed by Juniors and Seniors. Some skating parties and pop corn parties were also held. Our Junior-Senior Reception was held in Art Room and Miss Haines' Room combined. After the bank's failure we had a very hard time getting enough money but as all class members with aid from other classes were VERY dutiful at selling Eskimo pies, candy, and pop corn we came out on top, and the reception was a great success. We were glad and yet sad at the beginning of our last high school days. We lost three more members, namely, Leonard Markle, who went to Ohio to live: Howard Gale, who moved to Middletown. and Maurice Rector, who is finishing school at Anderson. VVe certainly do wish these members back again with us as they had been with us three years and were faithful workers. However, we gained Virginia Seward who just hailed from Miami, Florida, and she has been a good worker and entertainer for the class. Mr. Ewing, our sponsor, Miss Pearson, Mr. VValker, Mrs. McCarty and Miss Stohler have been very good in helping us with our studies, entertainments and Annual. The class ofiicers this year are: Alvia Hayden, President: Velma Bond, Vice-President: Alfred Ebbertt, Secretary and Treasurer. The boys and girls had a contest in selling Annuals. The boys won, so as a reward, the girls took the boys to the New Kay-Bee Theatre at Anderson and on returning stopped at Ann Cooper's and had refreshments. Games and music were then enjoyed. Ask Milford and Virginia Seward for details! l ! Many more parties and gatherings are being planned and looked forward to before the year is completed. Although we fifteen Seniors are very sorry to think of leaving our dear old Markle- vllle Hi., as the time approaches for our departure, we are looking forward to the begin- ning of our lives out in this great old world.

I owned half interest in a college there and found great pleasure in originating plays. On this evening I was planning a plot for a most dramatic play but found great difficulty in concentrating on such. A vision seemed to come before me. It was a face of an old friend who went to school at M. H. S. when l did. Oh, what a great pleasure to recall those days! I knew what only one of those pals had planned to be and that one was Glenn Ebbertt. I won- dered if he really did become a lawyer. I at once seized the paper that I had just received from Chicago to see if I could find his name as a lawyer in any case. Undoubtedly such a thing could be possible. No, I could not find Glenn's name but to my great surprise, the second page WHS entirely devoted to a great ad which attracted my attention. Under a picture was writ- ten, Vote for Hayden,-a man of high standard and square dealings, for President. I fell back in surprise and amazement. Could it be my old schoolmate? Yes, I recognized the picture as his. I immediately picked up a pen and paper and wrote a few lines to his address in Kansas. How wonderful it would be for one of our members to be President of the United States! Two weeks went by with my curiosity still very much aroused when one morning the mailman greeted me with the letter for which I was waltlng. It was only a few lines. I-Ie merely stated that he was making a brief campaign trip through that part of the country and he surely would take time to find me. I became very eager for his visit and began to prepare immediately. It was at the noon hour of Oct. 1, when an attendant called me from my office to greet a gentleman at the door. I knew in an instant who it was. I met him with smiles and congratulated him on his popularity. He came into my oliice and admired it very much. We .pent the following three hours in looking at the school and its surroundings. At dinner we had a most interesting conversation. I asked him if he knew where the old classmates were and he gave a D683- tive reply. We both sat in silence for a few seconds when suddenly an idea came to me. Alvia I said if you became President of the United States Ill plan a Presidential Banquet for you next fall and Ill invite the members of our old graduating class if we can plan any way to get in contact with them. Oh my! he replied I really couldnt ask for all of that but I would like to see those old classmates. I was determined to carry out this plan if possible. So on Alvia s departure I asked him to keep in contact with me for I felt that he would be our next President. Election time came and in November I rejoiced greatly to hear that Alvia had be- come President for I knew that if it were possible I would get to see my old friends again. - The following spring he took his office and later in the summer when I thought that he had perhaps settled down to business I wrote him a letter to mention this fact to him and we made plans for the great affair. On Saturday september 'S we placed announcements in all important papers and magazines to see if we could get any response from the other members The thirteen members of the class responded within the next three weeks How uccessful the plans had been so far' We were elated when we found among the letters two unexpected ones of congratulation to the President from Mr Ewing and Miss Pea son Oh we wondered how everything turned out so well We set the date for the big banquet on Nov 11 1949 We had our invitations en graved and on them we invited the class members and their companions lf they were o fortunate as to have one We gladly sent one to Miss Pearson and Mr Ewing How eagerly we waited for the replies They all came at last and we were satisfied that all were coming A few arrived two or three days before but we easily managed to entertain them We had prepared a gorgeous banquet hall beautifully decorated Time brought us all together once more and Mr Ewing and our old English teacher were just as jolly and gay as in days gone by Each member to our great delight told ot his life since 1929 S 7 Y K f Y ,. , , ,, , , v K V ' y K - L' Q 1 , ' ' S T ff' . . . .
