De, Vint ee, | ase CLASS HISTORY In September of 1929, freshmen entered into the life of Maroa Community High School. We chose Melbourne Lazelle as our leader, with Doris Pride to assist him. Don Hayden was elected treasurer. Our advisor was Miss Witt. Early in Oc- tober the upperclassmen gave a weiner roast in our honor at » the home of Evelyn Stoutenborough. Several of the boys were —— initiated by dips in the water tank during the evening. During the year, the class flower, class motto, and class colors were chosen, The flower was sweet pea, the class motto “Build for character and not for fame,” and the class colors, blue and silver. The rest of the year passed quietly. Our sophomore year passed quickly. Evelyn Dash was president, Doris Pride, vice-president, and Mildrcd Hobkirk, secretary and treasurer. This year Miss Flug.m was given command. The most important event of the year was the mov- ing from the old school building into the new, in March. We spent the rest of the year getting acquaintcd with the building and the changes made. We entered our third year determinecd.to make it out- standing. Our president was Tim Crouch, with Curtis Morgan as vice-president. George Stein acted as treasurer. Mr. Norton was appointed our class advisor. The Junior Play, “Intruding on Horace” was given Friday, November 13, in the auditorium. In spite of bad weather, it was well attended. Early in the spring we began planning a reccption in honor of the seniors. This event took place on Friday, May 13, in the gymnasium. On June 1, Mr. and Mrs. Norton entertained us at a party in their home. Thus another school year ended. On September 5, 1932, we returned for our last term in the M. C. H. S. There were thirty-seven students, nine of them coming from Decatur and vicinity. Our officers for this year were: president, Curtis Morgan; vice-president, Franklin Cap- linger; secretary and treasurer, Walter Wheeler. Mr. Norton was again our advisor. On October 5, the class rings and pins arrived. We decided we needed a holiday, so on May 11, twen- ty-five of us skipped school and went on a picnic at Weldon Springs. Then on May 19, the Junior-Senior Banquet came. The Senior Play, ‘““The Whole Town’s Laughing,” was given, May 23, before a large: audience. During the year our class has been represented in almost every extra curicular activity. And now high school days ar over. We shall receive our diplomas on June 1, and shall depart forever from the active lice of the Maroa Community High School. Senior Class Presents Play . The Senior Class of M. C. H. S. presented the play, “The Whole Town’s Laughing” on May 23. A large audience was present to see the performance.

Orchestra. Argenta Wins Macon Co. Championship Led by a speedy youth named Garriott, Argenta High came through to win its first Macon County track and field meet in the event held at Blue Mound. The champs finished with 36% points to their credit. — Warrensburg High, after a close battle with the winners, placed second with 27 5-6 points. Blue Mound was third, Mt. Zion fourth, Maroa placed fifth, then Macon and Niantic. Due to the strong winds during the day, all teams were checked in their progress. Garriott, coming nearest to a new record, broad jumped 20 ft. 2 in. Waller, the champion of the pole vault, reached a height of 9 ft. 9 in. Maroa also placed first in the 880 yard relay. Masters, of Warrensburg, won the individual honors of the day by winning the 100 and 220 yard dash events and also the 220 yard low hurdles. PEACE What is peace, that we hold it so dear; Is it not gone in the passing years; And when we are gone, will our children say; That we once lived and blazed the way, That they might carry on eternal peace. I give to you the torch of peace; And may it’s light never cease: And so when men of the ages go by; The flame of the torch may be seen in the sky; To remind them to carry on eternal peace. Then let us bui'd the Nation’s pillars strong and tall; Tht they may rise and never fall; And in the tallest pillar stands The torch of peace in Liberty’s hand; To remind them to carry on eternal peace.
