Class History We entered McAdory High School in September 1919 in a class of about twenty. Today we stand as a class of seventeen. How well I remember our thrills as we entered the Freshman Class. The first week was spent in acquainting ourselves with the schedule and selecting the line of study that would lead to the greatest success. With the lca t work. At the end of our Freshman year, our reports showed that without a single failure we had advanced far enough to enter the Sophomore Class. Which prove? that we were not as green as Freshmen are sometimes said to In . Each year we climbed, still achieving greater success, and striving to reach our goal. We found our work difficult, hut had some fascinating incidents which strengthened us and gave us courage to press on to the goal. We also found experience a wonderful teacher. We now entered our Senior year with much vim and pep. Our treasury was exhausted. and we l cgan hy getting up our Senior Play. In this and various other ways we raised funds necessary for a Senior Class finalities. We had numerous meetings from which much joy was derived. We placed our responsibility upon Thomas Deaderick. as president and Elizabeth Nabors as Vice-President. Needing a Secretary and Treasurer, we conferred the honor upon one with a mind equal to our finances. Susis Rosser. Our Geometry was always long and difficult: also our English and Chemistry required a lot of study and had we not had such enlightened minds we would have probably failed. We were loyal and true and now leave an example and record at old M. H. S. that will live on and on. Many of us will go to college and represent the product of M. H. S. Others will engage in business, some in love affairs and some probably matrimony. What cv er we do and where ever we go we will remain the class of 23. Pleasant memories of our association with teachers and pupils will ever dwell in each heart. We shall ever be loyal and hold up the standard of old M. H. S. So that the world can see from whence came the inspiration to make each profession or selection a recognized success. JOHN KENDRICK. 23 27

Stialtistics If it were not for the tact that I have a well established reputation for telling the truth. I'd hesitate before making the statements I am atom ft) make. True it i- that some of the remarkable qualities, which I must in justice attribute to this class, are ones which would seem preposterous if applied to any other. However, relying on my before mentioned veracity and njK.ii the good fame which my class enjoys. I venture to make public the remarkable statistics which can l»e proven by exact mathematical methods. Our remarkable intellectual powers cannot be denied when it is shown that the head measures 441 inches in circumference. This statement will prepare you for the next statement which is one that concerns a most distressing subject to many j coplc. but owing to the present styles we feel that we should not worry, namely, our waist measure i 489 incite-. Our great ability i«»r taking things in hand and mani] ul;ttiug them so skillfully will no longer he marveled at when I tell you the size of the glove of this class is 120. Glove- suggests shoes, so we confess here though with some hesitation that this class wears a 77 3 shoe. Our understanding is superb. One of our teachers continually insists on our laying good foundations and from this fact it would seem that her udmnni tions have been heeded. Up from this 77 yj -hoc we rise to the imposing height of 92 feet, or more accurately 1004 inches we stand supreme. Hut not mere length slenderly thrusting half through the atmosphere distinguishes us. In addition we possess good substantial avoirdupois as may be proved by our authentic weight of 2098 j.ound-. But while all this development may astound you. you may consider that we arc constantly improving and as our age is 306 years and for all those years wc have lieen improving ceaselessly, why what else could you expect? PAUL LETSOX Class of 1923.
