M H S ANCHOIA 1998 Salutator1an's Address To you our parents teachers and friends we extend a hearty welcome and with our welcome goes our heartfelt gratitude to you all to our teach ers who have so nobly strlven to plant our feet ar1ght 1n the path of learn mg to our parents who have sacrlficed so much that we may stand here tomght members of the Graduating Class and to all our frlends for the beauty and gladness of their fnendshlp that has made our llves so much brighter Someone has sald that Education is merely learning to live and I believe him Through the medium of Education we become mtelhgent human beings who really live instead of merely a higher type of animal who simply 9X1StS The few short years we have spent in high school are only a small portion of our lives but they are of lllfllllte importance for here where we are learning to live we are laymo' the foundation for all the years of our life Now that we have 1n some measure mastered our lesson we are on the threshold of l1fe and soon we will enter the doorway leaving behind us forever the carefree days of high school when w1ll1ng hands and klnd hearts were ready to help us over the rough places where sincere endeavor and good w1ll were teaching us how to l1V6 Now we must leave behind our dependence and make our own way we must put into practice the theory we have learned and test by experlence its val1d1ty In the l1fe which we soon w1ll enter we must make our own decisions and help ourselves over the rough spots And it IS but rlght that thls should be so for each of us has his predestined part to play 1n the plan of the Universe and our education IS but a preparatlon for this What lles before us we do not know I'or some there may be the path of Fame and Glory and for some the quleter existence that makes possible the glory of others But whatever path Fate has decreed that we must traverse we w1ll depend on our knowledge of how to l1ve to make us so accept what comes to us that when the end of the trall IS finally reached we may know ln our hearts that we have gn en to the world the best that was in us and that whether we are labelled Success or Failure we have lived as our Cod meant us to as nearlv as we might and fulfilled our mlsslon on earth as well as it was given us to do so And so 1n closlng 1 would agaln thank all those who have made It pOSS1bl6 for us to face Life equlpped to meet our Destiny and carry out our duty 1n a creditable manner This IS a very happy night for us for It marks a worthy ach1evement and recognlzes our fitness to cope with the respons1b1l1t1es ahead of us But our happiness is just a little tmged with sadness for we know also that thls n1ght w1ll forever stand in our hearts as one of our last gay happy gatherings as High School students We have loved thls place and all the friends who are here and therefore there IS something of regret mingled w1th the happiness that marks this sign of our progress But there IS always a llttle pam in the Joys of th1s world and so we may only do our best to l1ve out our lives in such a mannel that you who have helped us build our fOLlIlddt10I1 when the structure IS com pleted may say to yourselves and to us Well Done Agnes Ellsworth 4 u 1 Y y .

M II S ANCHUIA 1928 1928 Class History We the class of 28 have worked hard and have earned the right to graduate For twelve years we have been striving toward this goal so we L xn be justly proud of our attalnment Our hlstory dates back to nineteen hundred and sixteen when four ot our present members started school 1n the Kindergarten under the guid mce of Miss Severance The four pioneers were Clifford Smith Norml Barr Harriet Lasenby Fry and Otis Clipper In the second grade Thomas Royston Jolned us These five puplls and fm few others kept climbing untll in the fifth grade George Clinton Rhea Maclam and Betty H111 Jolned our ranks They formerly attended the second ward school In the year of nineteen hundred and twenty one when we were in the fifth grade our newly remodeled school burned down It was a great blow to the students who had to attend school in the basements of churches and other improvised places We spent one and one half years under these cond1t1ons In the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty two our present school building was completed We entered school as seventh graders We ll were very proud of our new buildlng and soon became accustomed to the large study hall Th1S year two members Elmer Corbln and Frances Barkway broke into our class and in the eighth grade Edwin Griffin and Agnes Ellsworth Jolned us In nlneteen twenty four we were 1n1t1ated 1nto High School as Freshies wlth elght more boys and girls added to our ranks Together we started on the road to graduation We reallzed the seriousness of the situation and we have learned a new meaning for work that is study The class kept Cllmblng' steadily and 1n the tenth grade Irene Smith Beth Housel from East Lansing and Lynette Beebe from Wllhamston Joined us In the Junior year the first of the important years for High School students Janet Valleau from Lansing Hlgh Grace Piggs from Stockbridge Nellls Bateman from Eaton Rapids Mary Burgess from Darlington Wls COHSIH and Frances Wllson also Joined us and helped to make the Junior year a big one We put on a very fine Junlor Senlor receptlon you mlght say one of the best with the help of Miss Tyner Then we became Senlors and entered a new realm of fun enjoyment and work The Senior Class as a whole IS small numbering but thirty members but it accomplishes whatever it sets out to do We gave our Senior play The Whole Towns A Talking Vll1lCll was 1 great success and drew a large crowd fl om Mason and vicinity We have published the Senlor Anchora as a printed memorlal of the achlevements of our school this year We are sorry when we thlnk that we no longer will be working and playlng together as a class but are departing on our individual ways May the spirit of cooperation and frlendllness that has been evident in our assoclatlon together and the loyal servlce we have attempted to give to oul school go mth us and help us ln our several llfe tasks Otls O Cllpper 1 , y n .
