Junior Class History On the ninth day of that immortal month of September, 191 1, fif- teen verdant Freshmen wended their way up the narrow but straight path which leads to Fame and Knowledge. After we had become lost several times, a Senor was kind enough to direct us to the assembly room (the sight of which took our breath), where we were met by a faculty of three instructors who were very delighted to see such a large bunch of intelligent-looking students. Well, somehow we managed to keep up courage and spirit enough to live the entire year. After a dark year vacation days approached with all their wonderful pleasure. But alas! when vacation was over only eight of the ‘ ‘honorable fifteen’’ returned to the pleasant task of another year’s study. The missing seven thought the course was too hard and the world too bright, so ? But the remaining eight of us set about the difficult task of keeping up the good name of Sophomores. But such was not to be, for one of our classmates after a shght misun- derstanding (Sophomores all understand what) with one of the in- structors, decided school life was not a path of roses, so he also depart- ed, leaving us to say, ‘‘ We are seven.’? Now for the third time our class met in the assembly room and this time as Juniors. Seven we were with brilliant hopes of a great, happy future. All went smoothly until one of the fairer sex decided ‘Home, Sweet Home and Homer’’ were the best things in this world. So after two weeks at home she decided to retire as a member of our Junior class, but nevertheless we are still seven, for one of the Seniors joined us later. But we believe in the old proverb, ‘‘Survival of the Fittest,’’ so we are looking forward to the year of 1915, when we shall have the intense pleasure of being ‘‘Seven Dignified Seniors.”’ So seven Seniors we stand just the same, Seven great pillars in the noble hall of Fame; And may He above have merey on us And uphold M. H. S. with honor and trust. We are— OTTO BECKHART, HELEN BUCK, MARIE BROWN, HELEN CRUM, RUTH SHIELDS, JENNIE VAUGHN, MINNIE TOZER,
