H. S. The first days were trying ones for the inmates for we were compelled to hie ourselves around the building as fast as we thought befitted our dignity for the purpose of letting the several tutors inscribe their initials upon our schedule cards. We were represented in all activities but the big- gest event of the entire year was the prep-freshie party where every boy who was so sure of having a date was surprised to find himself Hstagging it. The most ex- citing moment of the evening was when someone for- got his position and shattered a window, thereby mak- ing the event a huge success. The next two years we spent as freshmen and sophomores, all the while preparing ourselves for the tasks which we were to perform in later years. Be- ginning to become acquainted with our likes and dis- likes we gradually branched out into the several extra- curricular activities and became a truly integral part of the high school. While some turned to the sport- ing field-football, basketball, wrestling, track and tennis-many others were engaged in musical and lit- erary pursuits. Our biggest triumph came during the sophomore year when the first Student Senate was organized and our able representatives were permitted to sit in meet- ing with the high and mighty juniors and seniors and to tell them just what was what. After that we were always looked upon and regarded by the upper- classmen as equals. As Juniors On September 6. 1927 the class of '29 was corralled into the new high school. Herbie Leech was appoint- ed chief keeper on October 27. and had as his part- ners-in-crime, Myrle Foster as vice-president, Margaret Dahley as secretary. and Roland Rhiner as treasurer. The first important business was the choosing of War- ren A. Dickinson as sponsor and the selection of pins and rings. The girls all waxed bold and asked their hereto- fore suppressed desires to the G. Y. banquet on the ninth of December. Basketball now required all our attention and we succeeded in winning from Waterloo by only one point. u All this time one group of juniors had been labor- 1ng diligently U1 more or less in private. Finally their work was rewarded with the presentation of Seven- teen on the thirteenth of December. Being a more or less superstitious crowd we knew there was a catch in it. We repeated the play during the following month. Having much renown on account of his basket eye Dick Arney was chosen to lead the basketeers in the following season. V The Girls Glee Club was also keeping itself busy. After winning in the district music contest they jour- neyed to Iowa City and inveigled the judges into giv- ing them second place in the state contest-all due to the Juniors, of course! At the Hi-Y banquet all the boys crashed thru and asked their best girls for dates. After this the boys found it necessary to elect new officers and Myrle Foster was chosen to lead the 1929 Hi-Y. We reluctantly fed the seniors at a banquet in the form of a circus. Instead of using animals for decora- tions we seated the seniors at tables labeled Don't Feed the Animals. After we had weathered many a class picnic, Com- mencement drew nigh. On June 1 we had the oppor- tunity to envy the Seniors-they looked so individual and cool in their caps and gowns. Then the class of '28 passed out entirely, leav- ing only a few conscious ones to partake of summer school. Our Senior Year The day after Labor Day we began to labor in school. But what a change had come over this class! Were these the meek little Juniors of yesteryear? In- deed not. The lofty countenances were those of Sen- iors who, as everybody knows are the most all-power- ful people on God's green earth. Roland Rhiner was elected head chaperon, with Fred Long assisting. Elizabeth 0'Bryon writing the notes HJ and Lucille Lindstedt working the cash register. With these officers the illustrious class be- gan its high-hat career. The football season had its ups and down, fortu- nately the ups had the majority. Kenny led a good team. Christmas vacation allowed us to get our breath and our gifts and when we came back wefsome of usb pulled through the exams by a hair's breadth. Why did everyone stop eating and look at a cer- tain group of girls who insisted on serenading the cafeteria-ites with Just then around the corner came Ollie? We can't guess either! , VVith the new semester and basketball growing more interesting the class took on new life and shook off old steadies. One of the most brilliant basketball seasons in several years was played by a crack team of Bobcats with Arney leading. One Saturday we heard a lot of rumbling. After inquiries had been made, we found out it was the shouting at Ames where our band, orchestra and glee club had taken seconds and the string quartette first. Don Nielsen was chosen to head the Annual Staff in publishing this book. The track season proved considerably helpful to those who took the country air under faculty supervi- sion. However, some of us got the instruction with- out the faculty. A score of 17-6 ended the class scraps when 17 Juniors exercised the pedal extremities in little fresh-air walks. Our flag flew triumphantly over M. H. S. while the Juniors' lay inl shreds and dis- grace. The proceeds of Quality Street helped all the Seniors to a free meal. Outward Bound was presented to a capacity house. For a dead cast it was remarkably life-like. For the first time in their lives all the Seniors will actually go to church. No wonder, it is Baccala- ureate! The rows of upturned faces hold a spiritual light wholly foreign to this group heretofore. Commencement makes us really begin to think seriously of life and to like school. We are really re- luctant to leave the halls of M. H. S. so lately echoing with our voices fand the noise of chewing gumj and it is with heavy hearts that we leave, no longer Sen- iors, but Alumni. 'llIll H!
