Our high school days were finished many years ago, yet they are still ever present: we are carrying them with us, not only impressed upon our memory, but a very part of us mentally, morally and physically. In the years that have passed this school training has formed an important part in our experiences and achievements. The opportunities of the class room have passed, but the opportunity for making the most of what we have acquired in M. H. S. is still with us. Our ways are now parted, Our school days have fled, Thy halls and thy classrooms No more we shall tread: But often in mem'ry The fair scenes we view, And in dreams return, Alma Mater, to you.

The Reunion It's always fair weather When good fellows meet together- When autumn departs and the winter days follow, When we round up the year in a jovial way And pause for a moment from chasing the dollar To join the good fellows we knew yesterday, What a pleasure to find them, To slip up behind them With a slap on the shoulder, To call back our school days, Our glad days, our fool days At the grand yearly Banquet that's given by old High. Oh, we sit 'round the table, grown sadder, grown older, And talk of the glad days we didn't prize them: When each High boy went 'round with a chip on his shoulder And knew more of life than the wisest of men- We praise our professors, We once deemed oppressorsg We ask who has married and who's still girl shy- And we sigh heavy-hearted 0'er comrades departed Since the last Banquet given to the grads of old High. Oh, some have grown wealthy and some have fared badly, Some honored and some going fast down the hillg Some have lost the fair vision they once chased so madly, But all are the same honest school fellows still. So when all get together We see but fair weather And the cares and the worries of life we put by, And we toast as a starter Our dear Alma Mater At the Banquet they give to the grads of old High.

' fr 9 As we look back over the varied experiences of our high school days, with their buoyancy and pleasures, their rivalries and ambitions, their duties and generous friendships, their disappointments and triumphs, we cannot repress the pang of regret that comes when we know that those days are gone, never to return. There is one thoughlt however, that is uppermost in our minds, dispelling the shadows of sadness and casting a golden glow upon the future. The influence of ou' high school days has left a lasting impression upon our minds and hearts pervading the inmost recess of our natures, and destined to become a guiding principle through- out our lives. -Mrs. Georgia M. Goss. Class of 1911 ' Georgia t'Hendersonj Shaw Ina fHamilton7 Kestner Brownstown, Ind. Brownstown, Ind. Adda tGanstinel Schwein Blanche Fountain Medora, Ind. Brownstown, Ind. Ralph Goss Medora, Ind. Charles Ganstine Deceased Price Wray Indianapolis, Ind. Anna fGilbertJ Weeks Anderson, Ind. In appreciation of the education received in Medora High School:-Education makes us wiser, happier, and better. It expands the mental horizon, gives us self- confidence, strengthens character and opens new fields of thought. It is the hope and strength of youth and the support and resource of age. It is a permanent in- vestment which no disaster or misfortune can destroy, education is the means and life the end. -Ralph R. Ross. Class of 1912 Susie tFountainJ Holmes, Anderson, Ind. Fort Wayne, Ind. Mary fHargittl Martin Hansel Smith Medora, Ind. Bloomington, Ind. Nona! McMil1anJ Bennett Ada Roberts -, Calif. Although we have gone out into all walks of life we give fitting tribute to her who has given so much of her time to our mental and moral development. Yet each of us, no matter what vocation he may follow, will readily acknowledge that much of his success is due to the inspirations received in our Medora High School Days.

Lula Uobnsonj Mc'Dona1d Indpls, Ind Gladys Bergdoll Bloomington, Ind. Grace 1DixonJ Kolb Indianapolis, Ida fDixonl Mast Logansport, Ind. Ind Mabel KG-anstinej McClintock Bloomington, Ind. To the Class of '27:-As we trudge along Life's Pathway, the pleasant mem- ories of our High: School Days are a source of great pleasure. The Fraternal Spirit in which we worked, if emul-ated by the student, encour- ages ambition and makes of Life , one great school. So as Dickens would say with the Voice of Little Bob, To Our Alma Mater, God Bless 'er! -James H. Calloway, Pres. Class of '13, Class of 1914 Helen Carr Deceased Stanley Owen Lafayette, Ind.
