THE MEDINIAN Senior Class History By Idabelle Lackey As our school days come to a close, my thoughts drift back to the day when, the Seniors of ’28, started on what seemed to us a long journey. Oh yes! How well I remember, a group of smiling and half puzzled pupils, being ushered into “kindergarten under the guiding hand of “Miss Ella.” The time passed quickly, and one promotion followed another, until we entered 8 A with Miss Wheatley as our faithful and helpful instruc- tress. Our class had the distinction of being the first one in the new High School Building. The following September a group of “Green but not dumb Fresh ' ies” entered the doors of M. H. S. We did not receive any encour- agement from the haughty Seniors, but we kept our heads high, with the idea in mind that soon we too would be — “Seniors. The next year found (all those who had survived the battles of a Freshie) entering as Sophomores. This year was spent in study (?) and various activities. As Juniors, we participated in music, debate and athletics, edited the “Medinian,” and held the Junior and Senior Banquet. The following September found us — “Seniors.” It was with great anticipation that we began our Senior year. We organized our class, choosing the following officers: President — Charles Smith; Vice ' President • — Carrol McClure; Secretary — Ellen Nichols; Treasurer — Idabelle Lackey. We have found time for numerous parties and other Senior func- tions. We also presented a class play, “Daddy Long ' Legs.” At a recent class meeting, we, the Seniors, made the following ar ' rangements for our “Commencement.” Motto: “Deeds not Words”; colors, Orchid and Nile Green; flower, The Red Rose. As the time approaches for us to leave, it is a half glad and sorrowful adieu that we extend to the faculty and lower classmates. Seventeen
