We're leaving to future students, Who come to Meridian High: A chance to win, step by step, And hope they'll climb to the sky. We're leaving the scandals and secrets, That vvere whispcredAabout this yenr, Safe with the classes xn M. H. S. And to leave them we do not fear. Four years have we gone to M. H. S.

SECOND: We bequeath to incumbent Juniors our Senior decorum, privileges, polished manners and imperial prerogatives, together with the unquestioning servitude of the faculty and student body alike, and said incumbents shall occupy the Northern section of seats in the Upper Study Hall with becoming dignity, as has been our custom. THIRDLY: We bequeath to the incumbent Sophomores any and all retiring, unob- trusive, modest and supine characteristics that may possibly ibut improbablyj remain to us under our present vainglorious exterior, remembering with ditii- culty, the quiescent state of the Juniors, who have neither the mirth-provoking verdancy of the Freshmen nor yet the blatant sophistication of the Sopho- mores nor yet the scintillating supremacy of the Seniors, the said Juniors being only, merely, nothing else but simply, Juniors. FOURTHLY: We give and bequeath to the incumbent Freshmen any .humility that may not have been crowded out of our temperaments, and the faint hope that, next year, when you are Sophomores, you may be more modest and modify, be it ever so slightly, the supercilious demeanor to be a snare and pitfall to mental growth. Also we give and bequeath to said Freshmen all our never failing loving kindness, that said Freshmen, when they be Sophomores next year, may not inflict suffering past childish endurance upon the then Freshmen. INDIVIDUALLY: Eva Anderton leaves a large share of her superior knowledge Qslightly usedj to Flora Moreland. Detailed information on how to use said knowl- edge is included. Frances Baird leaves her HOOK to all suckers in M. H. S. Margarette Braye relinquishes her bad I-IABits to Hallie Sloan. Raymond Sager leaves his brother Harley his basketball prowess. The only reason he doesn't include Olive, he's taking her with him. Hazel May leaves her bottle of Mellin's Food to Avis Rea. DeWitt Keller wills to Denzel Collings his ability to aggreviate Miss Clark in English when most effective. Thelma Raines vacates her throne as belle of M. H. S. to Daisy Douglas, along with her booklet Secrets of Charm. Beulah Macham gives her love of orchestra music to Blanche Reese. fBlanche is drawing up a bill asking the official replacement of the sax with a trombone! Cecil Spencer leaves his teacher friends to Austin Huish. Edgar Tomlin leaves his girl friend Phyllis, to Austin Franklin and would like Austin to know he's taking Beccy. Terrell Jasper bestows his permission to the further pursuit of Nola's heart to Eugene Fritschle. ......................... ...............-.................................. - 18 - -. +.-..-..-..-......-.....-.....-......-...-......-..-.-..-..-..-............................-.-..-.....-..5.

D. I came in sight of the Delphic Oracle nnd, knowing that it was exceptionally cool inside, I entered. As I wus wiping the perspiration from my forehead, a beautiful maiden approached me and inquired whether I would like to ask her a question. Since I was Superintendent of the Boy's School of Delphi, I decided to ask if there would ever be a class that would excel ull others in athletics and intellect. She answered, Yes, I can see there will be such n class in some for- eign country not known to us. I think the name of the town is Meridian: yes, nnd the class is the Senior class of 1928. As first I was rather disappointed, hoping that this class might be my Senior class of 400 A. D., but after considering the matter I became inter- ested and asked her what the occupation of the students of this class would be in 1938. She immediately fell into a trance, and made known the following to me: Olive Manson will be washing clothes for her husband, Raymond Sager, who will be managing o profitable dairy herd on his fathei-'s farm. George Davis will be coach nt the Meridian High School for all athletics. I can see he will have winning teams in all sports. Orville Mayes and Ralph Madden will join a Lion hunting expedition to Africa, and will run only when they see bears, lions. cougars, and other dan- gerous animals. Edgar Tomlin will lead the expedition. Clystn Mayes will be known to the world as one of its greatest cartoon- istsg her success will he due to the variety and humor of the faces made by Clnrence McGuire, who will be her partner and model. In the wild days of his youth, Francis Huish will lose his warbling ability, but will still possess the knack of peddling milk throughout the town of Me- ridian. Doris Sugden will be traveling with a side show, entertaining people with her realistic kitten sneeze. Robert Kennedy and Spencer Forkner will form a law partnership in the city of Meridian, and will be known throughout the country as the loudest, fastest, and longest talkers on record. Cecil Spencer, as Marshal, will look after the city of Meridian in much the same manner as his father did. Glenn Dyre will receive immense royalties from one of his inventions, n stove that will burn air. Hazel May will be the Mother Shipton of the 20th Century, but her prophecies will all be doubted. Edna McNeal will be the second person to be converted to Hinduism. It will create quite a lot of publicity but she will soon tire of it and wish she had not been so rash. Daisy Davidson will join the President's cabinet as Secretary of Agricul- ture, because of her vast knowledge of farm conditions. DeWitt Keller will be assistant water carrier for the pitcher on the Ustick Bears baseball team. Thelma Rains will be posing for a noted sculptress as zu speed nymph for radiator caps. The sculptress, I believe, is Eleanor Scrivner. vb-...... -..-..-..-........-..,:,e+: 2-ee 11 :-..-.1 ee... f:L:..-eg:-ee.,e:.:.... -up -15.- ..,,.-1 Robert Cato, probably the greatest of all, will invent a metal which will, when changed to wire, conduct electricity without waste. Eva Anderton and Lucille Chipman will be teachers in the Meridian High School, receiving their pay checks through Thelma Rea, who will be Superintendent there. Frances Madden and Bertha Evans, not caring to trust men, will be pay- ing for a ranch on the installment plan. They will build a model farm. Ten-el Jasper and his wife. Nola Beery, will tour the world entertaining people with their banjo and piano solos. Opal Doane will be stenographer for Swift Ra Company of Meridian. Frances- Baird will be traveling on a. Chautauqua Circuit singing songs to vast audiences. Bertha Shaw will be teaching school at Amity. She seems to get very tired because she is required to talk so much more than usual. l Beulah Matcham will be pilot on one of the Air-mail planes between Boise and Salt Lake City. She will like it better than driving an automo- bile because there ure no stop signals in the air.

Centers The Meridian basketball girls present an almost unbroken record this year. One game was lost out of the thirteen played. The team was chosen as the winning team from this section to compete in a tournament at Weiser for the southwestern district championship. They won the First night against Weiser Institute, but met defeat the next night against Weiser High because they were too tired to repeat the iight of the night before. The first team wish to thank the many girls who faithfully attended practice and thereby helped in perfecting a winning team, and the community and students for their faithful support at all games. The efficient and successful team work was made possible only by the superior coaching of our beloved coach-Mr. Patch. Fifteen Rahs for Mr. Patch.

Elizabeth Jackson For several years there has been a Girl Reserve organization in ' the Meridian High School. There are now twenty-four girls belong- ' ing to this club. The national purpose of the organization is- to find and give the best. The local club purpose shall be- to create a spirit of i friendliness and service among all girls and to strive for perfection , -physically, intellectually, and spiritually. The Girl Reserve fall conference, held at Emmett, proved to be a great success. Ten girls and two advisers attended from Meridian. W Later on several girls attended a winter conference at Boise. A Spot Light Pageant, directed by Miss Kelley, Y. W. G. A. Secretary of the Southern Idaho District, was very beautifully pre- sented at the Methodist church before Christmas. Many interesting, as well as helpful, meetings have been held 1 during this year.

Then at a later date the following came: Dave Regan, Marion Regan, Hercules Young and family, John Wilburn and wife, Christian Zenger and family, Isaac Pfost and family, S. M. Burns, Frank Burns, G. W. Gess and family, and Mr. Rossi. These, people came in from about 1880 to about 1883. John Wilburn built the first house in the present bounds of Meridian. It stood about where Will Parmerls house now stands. The house was box type and built of rough lumber. Later it was moved by Jim Anderson and now stands on the west side of West First street, next to the railroad right- of way. It is now occupied by Howard Bashaw. The building, in addition to being used as a dwelling, served as a store and postoflice for the few in- habitants of the surrounding country. The station was then called Hunter, in honor of thc Superintendent oi the branch railroad from Nampa to Boise. Mr. and Mrs. Wilburn planted the first trees in Meridian. Christian Zenger built the second house in Meridian. It is located just north of the O. S. L. railroad and interurban crossing. It also served as a store and postoffice. The town was plotted in the early fall of 1892 by D. T. Stevenson and was called Meridian. It was so named because of its location on the meridian line. The original townsite was owned by Christian Zenger. Three names, Meridian, Pomeroy, and Hunter, were suggested for the village. The I. O. 0. F. hall was the first building built after the village was re-named. It was dedi- cated January 2, 1893. This building burned in the fall of 1923. The first blacksmith shop was built near the present site of J. M. Ander- son's barn. This shop was owned by C. C. Lovely. The first merchant who came to Meridian was D. M. Stokesbury. His store was located for some time in the Odd Fellows' building. Later, he moved into a building of his own. James A. Fenton was the first lumber merchant. , Doc. Reynolds was the first druggist and physician: hc also, was post- master for a number of years. . The postofilce was moved several times before it was located in the pres- ent building. From its first location it was moved to the south side of the railroad track. A few years later it was again moved and located just east of A. W. Whitely's shop: then it was moved to its present site. The first school building was erected in Meridian in 1895. It was a four-room frame building. This building was opposed by a great many of the inhabitants, because they thought it was too large for a town of this size. It was built near the present site of the band stand. In 1904 a new building was made to accommodate the increasing number of pupils and it is still in use. The abandoned building was later used as an overdow building until' the present High School was erected. Later the building was disman- tled by Harry Tolleth and Ed Hartman. The material was scattered to the four winds in buildings elsewhere. Some of it was used in constructing build- ings on Hartman's ranch on Succor Creek, by N. P. Nelson and Harry Tolleth. Much of the material was sold for kindling. The present Nazarene Church was built in 1896. It was then known as the South Methodist church. Rev. E. E. Eagle, now living near Nampa, was the first minister. Isaac Pfost and Mr. Bums were instrumental in the build- ingdof the church. Mrs. J. A. Fenton was the first Sunday School Superin- ten ent. The first paper which was put out in Meridian was supervised by W. A. Hamilton. It was a small paper and was printed in Boise. The first paper printed in Meridian belonged to R. H. Clopton. He opened his ofiice in the building where the Shoe Shop is at present. The Interurban line was built into Meridian in 1907. When it was first built it came to the corner of Meridian and Broadway streets, then it turned east and went as far as the Gem State lumber yard. Another interesting, though curious fact, was that the first sidewalk in Meridian was made of sagebrush. This sidewalk extended from the Odd Fel- lows' building to the railroad. At that time there was no station and the mail ..1-..-,-...-.1....-..-..-..-..-..-.-..-...-u-........-..-....?........-.-..1.-.. 141- had to be carried from the track to the postofiice. During the winter it was very muddy. For want of better material, they hauled sagebrush from the surrounding country and built a sidewalk. This was not a very elaborate affair, but it was very convenient and served the purpose. Several additions have been added to Meridian since it was first plotted. These are: Rowan's addition, Bower's addition, Cottage Home addition, Nourse's addition, and West View addition. I h - The Branch Line from Boise to Nampa, built by private capital, was started from Nampa during the fall of 1886 and comgleted to Boise in the early spring of 1887. It was purchased by the Union acific system in 1889. The Settler's ditch was put through in 1886 and 1887. The Ridenbaugh ditch was started in 1877, but water was not delivered in the vicinity of Meridian until about 1885. The first water was delivered to the Meridian com- munity through sloughs. It was waste water from the ranch now owned by J. H. McBirney. It was then owned by Mr. Rossi. The first fences in this community were make-shifts, made of sagebrush piled high around the reclaimed fields. - The following people served as postmasters in Meridian and in the fol- lowing order: Christian Zenger, John Wilburn, George Curl, Mrs. N. W. Bower, John Wilburn, Mrs. N. W. Bower, Doc. Reynolds, the served 17 yearsj, J. J. Caldwell, W. H. Peer fserved 15 months following the death of Mr. Caldwellj, O. M. Laing. The first creamery in Idaho was established in Meridian. Ike Daly was president, J. A. Fenton acted as secretary and treasurer. I Jim Anderson brought the first carload of lumber into Meridian. Mrs. I-larry Tolleth, nee Della Young, has the distinction of being the oldest native born Meridianite now living in this village. The first school house in the vicinity of Meridian was built on the farm of L. B. Griffith. It was located between the Grifiith home and the highway. The ranch was then owned by Ike Daly. The building was erected in the fall of 1882. It was a community affair constructed box fashion of rough lumber brought from the sawmill on Shaffer Creek. At a later date the district was bonded to weatherboard and plaster the building. This building faced the south. It was probably 16 by 20 feet. It was equipped with home-made dou- ble desks. Painted boards were used for blackboards. The room was lighted by three windows on either side. The traditional water bucket was used, asso- ciated with the usual events of passing the water at stated intervals. No doubt it was a great pleasure for the pupils of that time to go to the present site of the George White home and get a pail of water. It usually required the serv- ices of two pupils and was considered u fine bit of social service. This building known as Five Mile School, was probably the first school house on what was then called the Boise Bench. It was through the efforts of J. E. Daly, Hercules Young, and I. W. Pfost that the school was established. The building was used for both school and community meetings. The old folks speak with much pleasure of a great revival held under the leadership of Rev. Flenner, in the fall of 1885. Frank Burns taught the first and second terms of school. He was succeeded by Mrs. D. M. Regan. When the building was abandoned for school and community purposes the material was used by N. W. Bower in constructing the two houses south of the Idaho Equity Exchange building. One burned a year ago, and the other is now owned by A. D. Soucie. The first church in Meridian community was located on the Onwiler ranch north of Meridian. It was built in 1891. It stood about three hundred feet west of Boone Station, and south of the Interurban track. It was built en- tirely by donation and when it was dedicated it was free from debt. Rev. D. T. Monroe was the first minister. Rev. Morris was the second. The build- ing was moved into Meridian to the site of the present M. E. church in 1898 or 1899. It was through the efforts of Rev. Atkinson, pastor at that time, that the church was moved into Meridian. Later, when the present M. E. church was built, the material of the old building was used by Herbert Mersdorff in constructing buildings on what is now the Burkhart ranch. Another interesting place and one cherished in the memories of our pioneers was the Daly Grove north of Meridian. Joe DeBaun now owns the tract on which this grove stood. It was planted by Ike Daly.. The grove covered about five acres of ground. It was used extensively in the 'Q0's: picnics and celebrations of all kinds were held in this shady spot. Previous to that time the Gess Grove north of Cloverdale school house was used for community gatherings. g..........-.......-u-.-.-.-..-..-.... lf...-....,....-..-..-...-..............u-..---........- -f -+ 1 w w w r w , . 5... l w w 1 w w w H ax H w ll w ......-.-p-s.-.-.......-..,.-t:-te.e: f ::-ts......-.ezen-,Q.,:,:?::-fe-fs.-0-I..-..-I4, All-of-a-SuddenfPeggy-Junior Play Jimmy Keppel agrees to try to save his brother, Anthony, from mar- rying Peggy, an impulsive and lovable Irish girl of whom his mother highly disapproves.
