Foreword Looking back is a pleasure in which everyone loves to indulge at Various times throughout his life. In years to come every student of M. C. H. S. will recall some experiences through which he passed during his stay at school. Some will be pleasant, while others will bring to mind the fact that even then life was sometimes hard and exacting. The staff of the Silver Anniversary Masonian has attempted to capture some of the highlights of the year 1937-38, so that you may some day look through its pages and relive a few of your high school days. It is fitting that this volume, the twenty-fifth in the series of Ma- sc-nians, bring you a little of the history of M. C. H. S. and its organizations. Perhaps you have wondered, at some time or other, just when our various organizations came into being. When were our boys' and girls' clubs first formed? When did the band and orchestra come into being? When did an athletic team from M. C. H. S. first win a state championship? These questions and others will be answered on the pages of this book, giving you the opportunity to picture the growth and advancement of M. C. H. S. in the last twenty-five years-truly twenty-five years of progress. The product of a year's work is now in your hands and the staff of the 1938 Masonian sincerely hopes that you will enjoy and perhaps even be somewhat proud of this book.

Mr. and Mrs. Bagley at home. Dedication To a man who has been in a great part responsible for the fact that the Mason City school system is today as fine as any in the state, the class of '38 dedicates the twenty- fifth edition of the Masonian. A leader in the community, VVillis G. C. Bagley is known by many and regarded as a friend by everyone who knows him. He is known as a friend of Mason City schools, and for this reason we dedicate this Volume to him. Mr. Bagley has been a member of the Mason City school boa1'd for twenty-two years, serving first in 1915. Although Mr. Bagley has recently resigned as president of the school board, after holding' that position for sixteen yea1's, he is still interested in Mason City schools and the students who attend them. Since Mr. Bagley has such an interest in our schools, let us accompany him on a visit to M. C. H. S. and spend a day roaming through the halls of OUR school. Mr. Bagley at his office
