MANA HA SA ...i. Senior Class History Perhaps it is best to ac uaint my renders with a geographical sketch of the land marks which will liorm the setting of my story. This is neces- sary because the same thing might happen as that which happened when Miss Brown gave the M. 6 M. istory Class maps of the United States with each state correctly outlined and only requiring its proper label. It was- fgund that a great many states exchanged names with their neighbor or sis r. Somewhere in the southeastern part of Idaho, just a few miles from the State Capitol, is the village of Meridian. This town boasts several business concerns, almost as many churches, the Public Grade School, and a Rural High School. Of course the dear citizens of Meridian say that all the greenhorns, which a casual passerby sees there, come from the country. Well, this may he true or may not, but we will pass it byg how- ever, we will say there are some two score or more of Freshmen who cause a great disturbance wherever they go. We were all Freshies once and sympathize with them and also applaud them at the ducking holes. There are two ducking pools in Meridian and each is plentifully supplied with water. These serve as a great attraction, for at one time or another each Freshman hay will have an informal introduction to it. But it would he best to let them tell their own story of their trails and hardships through school. It has been almost four years since we started to High School. The first week went off with just a few Freshies losing their way or getting into the wrong pews, but of course they had plenty of guides to set them right. The second week, a few upper schoolfellows started the fun when each seized an unsuspecting Freshman and introduced him to the ducking pool. Some fought sry but in the end succumbed, When this was over we felt like we belonged to Meridian High School. Later the Sophomores gave us a party-or shall we say a formal initiation? On the whole, I think we were not a very green group, for after being Lion Tamcrs we emerged as Sophomores, As Sophomores some of the girls and boys began to lose interest in their lessons and gain more interest in each other. lWe may say princi- gally the opposite sexi.. Mr. Goodell was free with adivce, but I think he id not take a geometrical survey of our heads, or if he did the equation did not form equally. As Juniors we chose the fastest runner on the faculty for our advisor. Was it this that caused the Junior boy's cars to go so fast and far on Senior Sneak Day? We started a new fad on Class Dav which shocked the faculty dreadfullg, For this we were humbly sorry, but we did have a delightful time. onie girls and boys experienced the first stages of puppy love, and Mr. Miller, who is usually so against such, aided them greatly in the Junior play. ' Each year everyone greeted our Country Gentleman with much enthusiasm. ls it realistic? After due consideration on the part of the faculty we emerged as full fledged Seniors. Full fledged are the wordsg we gave advice to everybody, especially the Freshman, so liberally that the still stand in awe of us. Miss C ark especially urged us to set examplyes for the rest of the school, I trulg' think we did, even to styles, One day the Freshies all came to school ressed as little childreng not so many years ago we did thgfame. So we say, Keep on imitating and we are sure you will succee . By FLORENCE AUXIER '27 ......n,u-u.............mn....... ........u:n,nn-...-nnnrn.rnu1n1xm.-....nuxnmn1.. lfll
