Mars High School }e- DAVE ROBERTS (Dave) Football, ’20. ‘ Basketball, ’20, 721. Roberts is better known to his classmates as Dave. Dave is one of the good fellows of the class, and he is a jolly good fellow except when his temper gets away with him. He is a good man on the floor, grid, or still better, around the ladies. MARGARET KILP ATRICK (Maggie) We all love “ Maggie”, so happy and gay; Her smile and her dimples we see all the day. She plays the piano, dances and sings, And never a thought of sorrow brings. But some times her books she does neglect, Then she hurries and hastens about in a fret, But she really does beat some by far; Although she often misses the five o’clock car. a TT eee Page Eighteen

1 Mars High School “Ol VERA HYETT (Ve) Basketball, 19, ’21. Associate Editor of The Planet. “Ve” is an all around girl of the Senior class. She is always smiling and generally manages to let the smile burst into a laugh. She was never known to bother or talk to any one in time of school (?) She is one of the basketball stars but her favorite sport is ‘‘Skating.” Oh! what would we do without our ““V” when the rest have nothing to say? MILTON ELLIS (Milt or Axle) Captain of Basketball,.’20;.721. Football, “18,719 20; Athletic Editor of The Planet. “Axle” is a very accomplished young man. But it is mostly along the athletic line, for it 1s a sad but true fact that he doesn’t like the ladies, but they love him. On the basketball floor it’s hard to find his equal as forward, while on the gridiron he is a cool, level-headed quarter- back, indispensable in an aerial or running at- tack. All hail to you in later life as now, Axle. EDNA HILL (Eddie) Eddie” is very attentive to her lessons and some few members of our class. She is one of the smaller members of our class and a good pal. A quiet lass is she when the teacher ap- pears on the scene. She enjoys all athletics and amusements, particularly basketball and Ford riding. We may always depend upon “Eddie” being present and taking part in any social function, especially if the class president is there. Pia gem sav ent cen

af Mars High School Senior Class History 18 is the 6 of September 1917, the first day of our high school career. How well we remember the expression on Professor A. H. Forman’s face as he gazed upon the students, of whom more than one half were fresh- | men. But one should never judge a book by its cover for though we looked | green and incapable of learning at that time, we now leave M.H.S. as the | largest and best class which has graduated from this school. | We had fifty-three students in our class as Freshmen. Soon after school opened we had a class meeting and adopted Lavender and Gold as our class | colors. The first part of our Freshman year was spent in the Common School building with only half day sessions. On the eleventh day of February, 1918, | we entered the new High School building. Though basketball was suspended | for the season owing to the late completion of the gymnasium we arranged a | schedule of class games. The first game we played was with the Sophomores | in which we were victorious, the score bzing 12-3. The next game was with the Seniors in which the score was 13-5, in favor of the Seniors. The only | game the girls played was with the Juniors, our class winning by the score | of 4-3. | The next term, 1918-19, we had an enrollment of only twenty-six. Ata | class meeting we elected Loyal Purvis as President and Clarissa Crawford as | Secretary of our class. ' | When the war work was on and our class was asked for volunteers of | Victory Boys and Victory Girls we answered with our usual zest and patriot- ism, and our class proved to be 100% patriotic. Our class pledging one | hundred fifty-five dollars. This money could not be solicited from parents | or friends but had to be earned by the student. Many seized the oppor- tunity of earning this money at the time when school was closed because of | the flu bug. | During the month of September we enjoyed several trips to the fields () : of the dates which will never be forgotten by the faculty of 1917- | where we caught grasshoppers and butterflies. After we had caught and | chloroformed the grasshoppers we enjoyed ourselves dissecting them. ‘The | butterflies were chloroformed and then mounted. | This term our school was closed from Nov. 21 to Dec. 23 on account of the Flu.” On May the ninth our class with the Freshman History Class visited the Carnegie Museum. We went through the halls of Sculpture and Architecture and saw many fine pieces of art, gathered from all parts of the world. Through | the kindness of Mr. Hyett we saw some parts of the Museum which are not Bace iINivereen
