45'Q'g, V 19 - 5 7 hiinrial Alas! Father Time has swept another year away from us. The activities in school have not been very numerous during the past year but the Honor Roll has grown considerably and the discipline has been exceptional. A great change has taken place in our Faculty. Some of last year 's faculty left us but their places were filled with new teachers. It was rather hard for us to lose these excellent people, but we soon became well acquainted with their successors, who have also proven faithful and admirable. Our recent Basketball season deserves much commendation, for our team has climbed nearly to the top in three tournaments. Good team work was a feature in almost every game. Let 's hope that next year will bring as good or better success. The M. T. II. S. Band, as well as the Orchestra, has made marked advance- ment. The Kiwanis t'lub presented uniforms to the School for the Band. The donation was generous and highly appreciated. Vile Seniors feel that we are undertaking a greater responsibility than any other Senior class of M .T. H. S. in editing this volume of the M,'? because we lack the exceptional guidance of our dear friend, Miss Coffey. Neverthe- less, all of us are enthusiastically working for the completion of the task. VVe wish to thank Miss Fickes for her infatigable assistance in editing our Annual. NVe highly appreciate the aid of Miss Hansen, the Art Class, the business men, and all who contributed to this year 's M, -VVayne Rex. Class of I 925 In all the land Go ye east or west, You 'll always say That this land is best. And this same rule Ne'er changes a bit, XVhen applied to our class Of knowledge and wit. For in this class Of the year '25 There are some brains, And all are alive. NINE

cm 6,6 EXT! -I ' Men are heroes In realms all their own But a school 's hero Stars in sports alone. There are heroes And heroines too In this great class, So brave and so true. If you are not In a class that ,S 'live Then join this class Of 1-9-2-5. -Mary Miller. Graduation The balmy air of June out poured Sings harmony in sweet accord With emerald carpet dipped in dew And birds and roses sent anew. That morning's hush of saeredness Dwelt deep in hearts of youthfulness Their care-free life would be no more As when school work was only chore. But on that day set grand and dear The boys and girls met their career. Their life had startedg in its prime Would they make good or bend to crime? Each life is lived alone. Our predecessors great adoring tone Can not be bought or earned in gold. But we our character must mold. -Grace Heiman. TEN
