Senior Class History. It was on the 16th of September, 1912, that twenty-five bewildered Freshmen enrolled in the M.H.S., but unlike the ordinary Freshmen we were modest and dignified and were not noisy. We soon got the reputation of the class that does things . We organized our class quite early with Ernest Griner as president and Esther Teters as secretary and treas- urer. We also selected our class colors at this time, lavender and purple, which harmonized quite well with the design of our banner. The design of the banner was strictly original as we designed it ourselves. This, our Freshman year, was the most peaceful year of our course, as we were not mixed up in any class scraps and made peace with the faculty. Several of the the class dropped out and we finished the term, with twenty-two members. Vfe started the second year with nineteen members but before the year was over we had but sixteen. As our president, Ernest Griner, moved to Bristol, we elected new officers. This time Vernon Shoup was elected presi- dent with Edith Farver secretary and treasurer. Our Sophomore year was not so quiet, as we could not get along with the Juniors and were continually having scraps with that class. We had two scraps with them that year and it has generally been considered that we got the best of the deal. That year we lost our modesty and made as many business trips to the library as any class except the Juniors. lt has bee11 said that every class has its Hoff year and the second was our Hoffi' year. However the third year we began work in earnest and regained our lost reputation. We re-elected the same officers as we had had in our Sopho- more year. Shortly before Christmas we decided to give a class play to raise class funds and practice was soon started under the supervision of Supt Cassady. On March 11 the class was entertained by Helen Hout and Gar- land Roth at the home of the latter. This w'as the first class party w'e had had of any kind. On Feb. 26, we pre- sented HA Country Commencementl' to a capacity house and realized 369.30 from the same. We understand that we took in more money than any other class before or since. On the 14th of May we banqueted the Seniors at the Parkview Hotel and a good time was enjoyed by all. Our final year started with sixteen members. This year we elected Esther Teters, president, Merrill Messner, vice president, Ralph Steele, secretary and Florence Allison, treasurer. Edith Farver and Vernon Shoup represented the class on the Student Committee. Early in December we selected our class pins and rings. We also selected Vio- let as our class flower and retained our class colors of lavender and purple and took our motto B2. The most interesting work of the year was placed in the work upon the t'Original . Early in February we an- nounced that we would give a banquet in honor of the class that sold the most copies of the Original and We held an entertainment on March 10 to raise funds with which to banquet them. We took in 4511.45 at this entertainment. The banquet was held on Tuesday even- ing, April 25 in honor of the Freshman class. We had several class parties during the latter part of the winter. On March 7, Helen Smith and .Leota Luke entertained the Seniors and their friends at the home of the former. On March 16 Esther Teters entertained the Seniors and their guests at a Si. Patricks party. Viola Messner and Edith Farver entertained the class and their guests at an April fool party. The Senior class presented a large bronze shield to the High School as a remembrance. We have been very busy this year and all our spare time was put into lilo 'tOriginal . We are at present work- ing on our Senior play, 'tFree Birds Cagedf' which will be given on Friday evening, May 19. Wednesday evening, May 24, we will give our class night program and on Friday night, May 26th, we make our last appearance as a class when the Commencement exercises will be held at the Auditorium. Supt. J. A. Wiggers of the Elkhart schools will deliver the address. EDITH FARVER, Class Historian.
