THE MEDINIAN MM Ellen Nichol’s speaking ability we will to some fortunate Freshman — to be used in gaining victories for future M. H. S. debate team. Fred Herrington is willing to will his willingness to write wills to any one who will willingly make a will next year that will totally eclipse this will. Careful Study of all these bequests of such various natures must be the cause of carrying out our wishes. Neglect of this action will be the direct cause of the turning over in the graves of the entire Senoir Class of 1928. Therefore, we hereunto set our hand and seal this Twenty-first day of May, 1928. THE SENIOR — By Fred Herrington. Class Poem When High School days are ended And our lessons are not in a book. We will remember Alma Mater To her last teacher, class-room and nook. Or can we forget the friendships We have so firmly established here? And though newer friends may come our way Can they replace these others so dear? With warm hearts we will remember The faculty, who gave us a hand, To help in the hardest places That our young minds could not understand. Then in after years we’ll come back, And in great exultation proclaim That the hours of study expended here Were the stepping stones leading to fame. Ruth Smith. Twenty-Eight
