-N a X i -alix-SM N ' E' A Ulrnuhlvznme llunhrrh One day a fellow received word that his ticket had drawn one hun- dred dollars in a near-by town, and that if he could be there in fifteen minutes he would receive it. This fellow, being no exception, jumped in his Ford, which was wired together with almost one-half it's weight in bailing wire, and rattled off toward town. As he was nearing the village he almost ran over a sleepy old cow who took a notion to cross the road before he passed. but he man- aged to dodge her and ran over a log at the side of the road, bursting two tires and shaking the Lizzie to her depths, causing her to sigh and groan as though she would fall to pieces. Upon nearing his goal the beloved car balked, which. before this, was nothing uncommon, but at this time was very annoying. Forgetting his rheumatism, he leaped from the vehicle and sprinted the last hundred yards. He arrived on time and received the money. As he never liked banks very well and wished to boast to his wife, he went home that night, a tired but happy man, with the money tem- porarily safe in his vest pocket. Upon hearing this, his wife decided at once that they should buy some new clothes and two new tires with the money, but, needless to say, he had decided that they should invest in a home. All evening the battle raged with neither one gaining his point of view and when bedtime came, they decided, by common consent. to postpone the decisions until morning. The farmer, being afraid of burglars, placed the gun under his pillow and the money under the bed so he might watch over it. Since he was nervous, he was very uneasy and wakeful during the forepart of the night. but along towards morning he dozed off until he was awakened by a slight noise. Upon opening his eyes, he perceived a dark shadow lurking in one corner of the room. Without wasting time to investigate, he raised his gun and fired. The next moment he had leaped out of bed to perceive what he had hit, but upon arriving at the corner he saw that the moon-light shad- ows had fooled him and he had put a bullet-hole through the seat of his Sunday trousers. Sadly, he went back to the bed to see if his money was still safeg but, upon reaching to get it, he discovered only bits of paper- the mice had chewed it beyond all human help.

S. is about to broadcast the history of the Junior class of 1926. For the benefit of the former members of the class and others who are interested, we are broadcasting the history of our high school career. In September 1923, forty-two pupils enrolled in the Freshman class. At first everyone was timid and afraid to say or do anything for fear of the Sophomore's laughter. However. we soon discovered that He who laughs last, laughs best, and began to act like normal girls and boys once more. Demain Macey and Wyley Fasig were chosen president and secre- tary of the class, with Miss Bradbury and Mr. Apple as sponsors. Be- sides school work the class, following in the footsteps of the other classes, also enjoyed parties and Wiener roasts. However, not all the events of the year were pleasurable. We were very much saddened by the death of two of our members-Lelon Linn and Carlton Payne. September 1924 found most of us Sophomores, but the class was de- creased to a membership of thirty-five. Demain Macey was again selected as our captain and Miss Tucker and Mr. Apple as our advisers. We did our bit in the Carnival and showed the world-in the Stunt Show-that boys could be old maids as well as girls. Class parties, Wiener roasts, and other amusements also had their places along with our school work. September 1925 finds us beginning thethird lap of our journey with much enthusiasm, for now we are Juniors and hope soon to be Seniors. The class seems to wake up to its responsibilities. Demain Macey is chosen president for the third time. Miss Hartmann and Miss Thomsen are chosen as advisers. Everyone worked hard to make our three projects in the Carnival a success-The Radio Program, the Popularity Contest and the Fishpond. Adam and Eva has been selected as the class play. The class as aswhole aims to make both it and the Junior-Senior Banquet a success. oz- We'll plan for more than we can do And do it. We'll bite off more than we can chew And chew it. We'll hitch our wagon to a star. We'll keep our seats and there we are. This concludes our program for this year. But as a closing word, I wish to say that next year we hope to broadcast the further achievements and history of the class of '27. We thank you. Radio Station M. C. H. S. signing oif.
