Edith Wagner. We Lose Our Leaders This year of 1920 is of a little more moment in the history of the M. T. H. S. than any before. It is more of a breaking up than any of the preceding ones since our new building was completed. We have had a faculty that sticks for the students and the students for them. But this year we are losing our leader, K. M. Snapp. We have never had a superintendent who has made so many lasting friends as has K. M. The fellows don 't hold him in awe for he is one of them and all for them. The news of his good work in Mendota has spread and he leaves to take charge of a school system which we are sure is still too small for his abilities. Another privilege that the class of '20 has had is that of working under the administration of Mr. C. C. Hanna. Besides standing first for good school work, he has aided greatly in the social functions and in basketsball and track. In fact, Mr. Hanna has taken more interest in athletics than any Principal we Twenty-seven

have ever had. He also leaves for a larger field and we are sure that he will more than do himself justice. Besides losing our superintendent and principal, many of our best teachers are leaving. We regret their going and Wish them all kinds of success. Mr. Beebe, the man who comes as superintendent, needs no introduction as he was formerly our principal. He will stand by the same high ideals as have Mr. Snapp and Mr. Hanna. We welcome him and only wish We might be back and help him. ' Guess W ho There was a little Freshman, He sits in the first seat. Altho he is so very small, It 's not true about his feet. We have a handsome Sophomore, Who aids the football team.. I think his name is Harry, But the girls think he's a dream. A tall and lanky Junior boy, Loves colors very bright. He never stops to think of us, And how it affects our sight. We won't forget the sweater That 's in the Senior Class. The brown is like the 0Wl16I',S hair, The green is like the grass. Twenty-eight
