ll H.S. PEBBLES IQ28 Page 31 Clary Hzktory N September 6, 1924, the class of 1928 entered old M. H. S. as Preps. Most of the outside activities, including athletics, dramatics, and musical concerts were given our whole-hearted support during the entire year. A good share of the athletic- ally inclined individuals went out for one or two sports. As a climax to the first pleasant year in high school, we had the Animal Prep-Frcshie Party, greatly enlivened by various contests and by a fast basketball game in which the Freshies were bested. The following fall when we returned to M. H. S., no longer could they call us green preps, for we were now classed as Freshmen. VVe soon realized this when we began to study civics, algebra, and Latin. The election of officers and a sponsor next called for our attention. Miss Daisy Lillie was chosen sponsor, XVilbur lNhfeler, president and Almyra Halverson, secretary-treasurer. Betty Shorthill and Eugene Empie were the only Freshmen on Pebbles Staff. Myrle Foster and john Hise received M's in wrestling and Leonard Ennis received a basketball letter. Many boys went out for football, baskftball, and track. This year it was our duty to entertain the Preps at the Prep-Freshie Party, and so ended the second year in high school. The ensuing autumn we resumed our studies as Sophomores. This year proved to be verv much like our Freshman vear. Music associations, Pebbles, HY , G. A. A, Normal Trammr and the manv other activities kent us well occupied. Manv more by .

Sam Trowbridfe, Harris Youn Mvrle l'oster and A rr - ' ' ls' ' Y 1 ' xx - Y Theodore Swedeber ' were 'M men in wrestling and ohn Hise the ' M man in track. . g . i Leonard Ennis won his second basketball letter. September 1926, found the knowing juniors once more in school. The following officers were chosen: Edward Miller, president: Jane Sieg, vice presidentg Helen Grimes, secretaryg and Fay liingshot. treasurer. NYC let Mr. Carney advise us as to what we should or should not do. On the hrst day of February the class play, The Wllole Town's Ta1king,'l was given as tl1e first performance at the Senior High Audi- torium. Hi-Y., G. Y., Student Senate, Music, Pebbles, and athletics occupied the -luniors' time when they were not busv studying. The Juniors who won letters in football were Captain-elect Gimre and George Vlfhitehead. ln basketball XVilbur VVheeler and Leonard Ennis were the M men. XN'il1iam Noid, Howard Gimre, and Sam Trowbridge were our f'star wrestlers. John Hise was elected captain of the track team for the coming year. About the first of May the juniors made their debut at the Junior-Senior Prom. The event to which the juniors and Seniors look forward with great anticipation is the junior-Senior Banquet. As Juniors we labored many weary weeks over planning and preparing for the great event. It proved to be the crowning glory for the Juniors' fourth year in high school. VVe returned to school in September, 1927, for our last year in high school, but this year we had the privilege of bring in the new building. For most of the Seniors it proved to be a very busy year. The results of the election for class oflicers, which took place shortly after school started, were as follows: Fay Kingshot, prrsidentg Elizabeth Browne, vice presidentg Elton Greenley, secretaryg and Charles Plander, treasurer. Floyd Hancock was chosen for sponsor. As in previous years sports occupied the time of a great many Senior boys. Captain Howard Gimre, Charles Plander, Edward Reese, Frank Hise, Perrin Drew, John Dooley, Murray jackson, Sam Trowbridge, and john Hild were the nine Seniors who won th'ir letters in football. Robert Tucker, Howard Gimre, and Edward Reese were the M men in basketball, while VVilliam Noid, john Hise, Harris Young, and Sam Trowbridge won their letters in wrestling. A great many Seniors were also out for track. Hi-Y, G. Y., French Club, Normal Training, Quill and Scroll, Glee Club, Band, and Orchestra were other outside activities which were well supported by the majority of the class. In January the Annual Staff began its work on the year book. A good share of us attended the Hi-Y and G. Y. banquets for the last time. The Senior Class Play, Nancy Ann, was chosen and the cast began work on it April 17. The Juniors entertains d the Seniors at the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet.
