Seniors HE. end of our fourth year in High School is at hand. Four years ago the Class of '28 was a big class. Many have dropped by the wayside but the fittest and the luckiest remain. Now soon we too will leave M. C. H. S., and we'll have but memories of this school. But they will be pleasant mem- ories and will bring back old classmates, teachers, and times. While we have remained in school, we have held on high our standards. We have triumphed in many fields and have been ably represented in all activities. We have obtained from this school exactly what we have put into it. If we have put forth our best foot, our best effort, the school has given its best. lf, however, we have worked only indifferently, the school has paid us in our own coin. But this is no time for reminiscences. The past lies behind us, the future ahead. Let us go on and each one strive to do his best always with the memory of our school driving him on to greater effort. And let us work as we have learned to work here for the honor of ourselves and our own Mason City High School. ln the past we have been wont to scoff at this institution, to express that we hated Latin or Math. But let us be honest with ourselves, confess, do we really leave this building with a feeling of joy? Has this building been merely a place where we have spent six hours a day, or has it meant more than that to us? For me at least, it means more than that. Mason City High School has come to occupy an important place in my memory. It has been the center of our lives for four years. Here we have formed acquain- tances, habits, and ideas. There will be nothing which can quite take the place of High School, once we have left it. No! It is not with a feeling of joy that we leave this fine old building, but with a feeling akin to regret. Most of us, when we have finished High School will conclude that our education is finished. This is untrue, our education is merely started. Cao on, go further, acquire more knowledge. The Class of '28 has talent and with proper training, great men and women will be developed. Great lawyers, and doctors, and poets, and artists, may spring from this class, for assuredly we have had talent, the foundation of such greatness, nourished and encour- aged in M. C. H. S. Here, in this school, we have developed friendships and acquaintances that will be a constant help and source of joy all our lives. Together we have worked our Math. and Physics, together we have scrubbed paint from our sidewalks. Each gave someone a helping hand, and in doing so learned the value of co-operation-the value of a true friend. But the end draws nigh. Soon we must leave th.is wonderful building where so many of our waking hours have been spent. But we shall always remember the good times we had here and when asked the school from which we graduated a touch of pride will creep into our voices as we answer: M, C. I-I. S. -VIRGIL SHOOK ...... ...... .1
