3Uol|met History of Class of ’30 In September, 1926, we began onr eventful career in M. C. H. S., one of the largest Freshman Classes that ever crashed the corridors of old M. C H. S. We ended a year of activity in a remarkable way, winning the Inter-Class Track Meet, a feat unusual for a first year class. The following year as Sophomores, we came a little more in to the lime light. We were well represented in football, basketball and track, again winning the Inter-Class Track Meet. We more than took part in everything that came our way, and at the end of the year, were qualified to distinquish ourselves as Juniors. Ahem! And then we embarked upon our Junior year—to many, a year nearly as eventful as our Senior year We supplied more than our quota for the football, basketball, and track teams, and again won the Inter-Class Track Meet (Getting to be quite a habit, this track affair.) The Junior Play, “Am I Intruding,” went over with a howl, showing our class possessed actors as well as athletes. And then came the Junior-Senior Reception, and what a Reception! (Even if we do say it ourselves.) Under Miss Steer’s guiding hand, the Lower Assembly was decorated beyond recognition. One of the prettiest scenes you ever saw. And what food! It will live in the memory of every Junior and Senior forever. After the Reception the Seniors were invited to a dance given by the Juniors, thus topping off a splendid evening. Finally, as we entered upon the fourth and last year of our High School life, most of us could not realize how much it has meant to us. Here we had formed friendships with classmates and teachers that will remain with us through life. This year both the football and basketball teams were captained by members of our class, “Red” Miller and Raymond Neff, respectively. “Anne What’s-Her-Name?” the Senior Class play, was presented in the new Gym with even more success than our Junior Play. We captured the interclass track meet (can you beat it?) for the fourth consecutive year, thus setting a record for future classes to shoot at. This is really a remarkable feat. We showed our appreciation to the school and the faculty by presenting the high school with a fine curtain for the stage in the new Gym, for the benefit of oncoming classes. 1 4
