Senior Class Officers President Robert Lay Vice-President Edward Baggett Secretary Ernest Morgan Senior History IN 1924 we started our rough and rugged climb in the M. C. H. S. a large and eager Freshman class. We embarked on our first year as glaring, staring and wild-eyed Freshmen do at the beginning. Our first social function was a Freshman Starlight Frolic, which after the usual punctures and lost cards, was a rousing success. We took part in the various programs sponsored by the Booster Club and showed ourselves to be a ripening group. The first year passed and many received the blessings of intellectual and athletic ability and on the whole made an unusual start. After a year of hard studying and showing our ability to rise, we attained the honor of being named the Sophmore Class. We were well represented between the goal posts and on the basketball and track squads, winning one of the highest places in the interclass track meet. We took part in all allowed us ai d at the end of the year we felt qualified to take the world in our hands. As Juniors we came back to the dear old M. C. H. S. with high expectations and we lived up to them. From below our path appeared long and rugged. for we saw only the dark side of our obstacles. Now as we were nearing the top our way seemed much brighter and as we look back down on the trodden path it is transformed by our efforts and we are more and more determined to make our last years even brighter. Under the leadership of Miss Harris we ably demonstrated our dramatic ability in the production of our Junior play “Honor Bright.” The Junior-Senior Banquet was an unusual success. On entering the basement of the Methodist Church we found it transformed into a beautiful fairyland of apple blossoms and leaves with a refreshing air of spring. This year the Juniors took the first place ir the inter-class track meet. Now, entered upon the fourth and last year of our High School life we began to realize how much it has meant to us. We have formed many friendships, both among the students and teachers, which will last through life. This year the captain of both football and basketball squad was a member of our class. Herschel Devers and Rosalie Chauvin, the King and Queen of the Sphinx, won their crowns in many phases of personality. The senior play “The Kangaroos” was presented with the same rousing success that accompanied the former year’s Junior play.
