MISKODEED 1914 It has also been since our entrance into High School, that the Social Club and the two literary societies, the Philosophian and the Adelphosophian, have been organized, and the present system of conducting morning exercises has been adopted. And while, perhaps, we are not directly responsible for these innovations, still, we have doubtless had an immense influence. We have made a pretty good showing in the athletic field too. In our Junior year the class was awarded the pennant for winning an interclass contest in soccer football. The basket ball teams that we have had during the past four years, have all been exceptionally fine teams, — but the one this year was so successful, — even defeating a choice alumni team, — that the school sent it to the state tournament at Bloomington. Last year, one member of our class received an M, for winning the silver medal at the Northern Indiana Oratorical Contest. The class of nineteen hundred and fourteen will present Oliver Goldsmith ' s comedy, She Stoops to Conquer some time during Commencement Week. In so doing, we are preceding the other classes in giving a classical play. We are glad that the girls of the class have set the example for a pretty and inexpensive Commencement by deciding to graduate in sailor suits. We believe the occasion will be made very effective by this democracy and simplicity. And now, we wish to express our gratitude to the teachers who have worked so hard for us, to express the sincere hope that if we have not raised the standard of the school, we have at least maintained it, and as sincere a hope that we have influenced the lower classmen to higher ideals and ambitions, as we were influ- enced when we were younger by our Seniors.

Motto:— NON NOBIS SOLUM NAT! SUMUS. We are not born for ourselves alone. YELL Yea-a-a-a-a-a-a-a 14! Yea-a-a-a-a-a-a-a 14! N-i-n-e-t-e-e-n- ! F-o-u-r-t-e-e-n- ! 19 14! Yea-a-a-a-a-a-aa- 14! Senior Class IT is indeed, with deep regret that we, the class of nineteen hundred and four- teen, bid farewell to our fellow classes, and the dear old M. H. S. Our last year has been filled with pleasure as well as hard work, and we leave our places as Seniors with genuine regret, — although we feel that the Juniors will fill our places nobly. However, our sorrow is not unmixed with pleasure when we look forward to the years for which our High School has prepared us; and we hope to succeed in such a measure that we shall do honor to the school which has trained us in our various occupations. During our Freshmen year, the new building was completed, and at the beginning of our second semester in the High School, we marched proudly to our seats in the new building, where we received detailed instructions from our prin- cipal. Miss Welch, concerning the care of the furniture. Since that time, many new teachers have joined us, and several new subjects have been added to the curriculum, — among them, vocational guidance, music and public speaking. And during the last four years the standard of the school has been raised inestimably.
