Senior Class fflistotg K On August 31, 1925, twenty-six green and frightened children started a four- year term in Markleville High School. Noticing that the upper classmen were holding class meetings and electing officers, we decided to follow suit. We called a class meeting, and elected Maurice Conner, president, and Lucy Wilkinson, secretary and treasurer. We enjoyed the Hallowe'en party given us by the Sophomores at the High School Gym- nasium. Here we were initiated and became firmly established members of the M.H.S. Parties were also enjoyed at the homes of Glen Johnson and George Earley. By the en- couraging words of Mr. Noland, Mr. Ewing, Miss Williams, and Mrs. McCarty, we successfully completed this year and were passed on as Sophomores. That is, all except Josephine McKinnsey, James Crosthwaite, and Willis Pendigras, who fell by the wayside. The next year we were twenty-three, but we gained a jolly fellow, John Guenther, from Middletown. It fell to our lot to initiate the Freshmen, and we certainly did it up brown. A party at Warren Addison's country home was enjoyed, especially by the boys. The teachers this year were Mr. Noland, Mr. Ewing, sponsor, Miss Pearson, Miss Stohler, and Mrs. McCarty. We elected Eugene Cole, president, Oliver Walters, secretary, and Maurice Conner, treasurer. When we came back the third year we found we had lost Alberta Hartzell, Alice Begley, Olga Bennett, and Eunice Keesling to Dan Cupid. Having lost Arthur Odell and Vaughn Neff the year before, this made our number only sixteen, fourteen boys and two girls. We chose John Guenther, president, Glen Johnson, secretary, and Maurice Conner, treasurer. We had a rousing old party at Lucy's with all members present. This together with the two skating parties at Mounds Park broke the monotony of our school work. At the end of the year we gave the reception for the Seniors in the Y.W. C.A. at Anderson. We were guided over the rough places by Mr. Ewing, Mr. Walker, Miss Pearson, sponsor, Miss Stohler, and Mrs. McCarty. In the fall of '28 we came back, fourteen boys and two girls to Hnish our course as dignified Seniors. We chose Lucy for president, Robert Cooper, secretary, and De Loss Cole, treasurer. We had a long-to-be-remembered weiner roast at the old flowing well one cold night in December. Mr. Ewing, Mr. Walker, Miss Pearson, sponsor, Miss Titus, and Mrs. McCarty helped us through this year. We are beginning to realize that our happiest days are drawing to a close. Having mastered all difficulties, we find ourselves on the last round of the ladder, ready for whatever fate hands us. - Page Twenty
