Hee Ne ine OA. all of the Flyers could be seen. However the Flying Class of ’21 took the greatest flight which any students at M. H. S. had taken for years when they presented ‘‘The Poor Married Man”’ at the Maroa Opera House, Dec. 18, 1919. While this was probably ' the longest flight so far, we took one almost as important in May when we enter- tained the Seniors of ’20 at the Junior-Senior reception when we proved ourselves to be able to entertain as well as work. In September, 1920, for the fourth time we returned again to the Maroa High field and with us one more member, Beatrice Miller. This year we stood highest at the school. Our boys were becoming wonderful Basket Ball players. Thomas and Milford both held the highest offices of the athletic association. Milford was presi- dent of Kappa Rho, literary club; Thomas was vice-president.and for three years Ruth had been high school pianist. Milford, Thomas, Alfred, Fremon, Wayne and Ruth were in the orchestra. So the Class of ’21 was indeed important. We staged another play this year ‘‘Brother Josiah’? which was repeated in Ma- roa and then taken to Wapella. This year we were the guests of honor at the Junior- Senior reception. On the 3rd of June we graduate from Maroa C. High with highest honors as com- petent flyers. As we have gone along our way five have given up the struggle and two have joined our ranks. We are now given our planes and can fly wherever we try. At the Track Meet this year Thomas proved himself a wonderful dash man by breaking the record of Macon county.
