HISTORY OF THE CLASSES The sun bathed the time mellowed bricks of the old High School Building in the light on a June day in 1913. The graduating class filed in tlhrough the wide door, clad in its best-long rustling skirts, lace trim- mings, ribbons, starched collars, and new squeaky shoes. Four years of work was concluded, and at the graduation exercises, a prominent man bade them go forth and be lights unto the world. That was twenty years ago, Since then there have been nine- teen graduating classes, and the twentieth will graduate this year. Mason City High School has carried on through the World War, several major depressions, and num- erous occurrences, world wide in effect. The building of the present High School was be- gun just before the United States entered the World War. After many difficulties be- cause of the times, it was completed. All the students who had been in many differ- ent buildings in the preceding years, were at last gathered under one roof, In the au- ditorium of the new building was placed a memorial tablet to those of Mason City High School who had taken part in the Great War.-Special tribute to those who gave their lives. Since the time when the new building was occupied. much progress has been made. Our school is famed, not only for the gen- eral excellence of the curriculum, but for fine athletic teams, forensic work, drama, class activities as measuring up to this schoo1's standard. Today is a new day and a changing one, We of the 1933 Seniors hope to take our places capably as gradu- ates of the previous twenty years have done, and to do as much credit to Mason City High School.
