HI-TIMES Senior Class Historic The fall of 1924 will always be known as an eventful autumn, for did not eighty boys and girls gather from Central Mercer County to begin their search for knowledge in dear old Mercer High? We were a very proud class even if we were supposed to be green. How we still remember the first day of our High School life! At the beginning of the year we organized as a class under the supervision of the Misses Esther Mabes and Ruth McConnell, and elected the following officers: President, James Bone; Vice President, John Stowe; Secretary and Treasurer, Kippie” Huey. This year we stayed somewhat in the back ground as most Freshmen classes do, but after having mastered all the different things offered to Freshmen there was nothing to do but tackle the untold mysteries that confront a Sophomore. This term our class was fewer in number, this being due to various reasons, but the still large class remaining set out determined to win honor and respect for themselves. We were well represented on the literary team and several offered their talent in the County Literary Round up. We also contributed several members to the High School Orchestra and Athletic Teams. In the fall of 1926 we entered this time as Juniors. This proved to be the most eventful year of our High School career. At a class meeting held at the first of the term “Billy” Whieldon was elected as our future Class President. Let us sum up the social events of the year; first, a Junior-Senior Hallowe'en Class Party, held at Sharlows, a sled load was enjoyed in mid-winter. On May I? we Juniors gave the annual banquet for the Seniors and a very lovely time was reported by all. Our Junior Class was strong in Athletics, and a very interesting contest was held among the class teams in Basket Ball. The Freshmen taking the championship after a final three game tournament with our Junior Boys. Yes we are Seniors. We are possessed of a dignity, self-confidence, intelligence, haughtiness, wisdom, understanding, in fact, all the desirable qualities a group of young people can have. We have had a wonderful time reading a few books, exchanging old ideas for new and above all forming friendships. We are about to set out on a long journey, full of new experiences, but we feel that our four years in Mercer High School have better equipped us for that great journey. And as through life we journey, Our hearts will oft confess, That we have loved you truly. Good-by dear M. H. S. Margarette Moore.
