izvx: m s ID IE IE, ID Senior Prophecy O, Book of the Future, list to my plea. Wilt thou open thy pages a moment for me, That writ on the leaves I now may see The class of ' 16 ' s Futurity? As a Domestic Science expert, Hilda is fine, Doris is a Red Cross nurse near the Rhine ; Settlement work is Zena ' s line. And a reporter on the Enterprise is Leon Stine. Slowly the pages unfold themselves And I see on the not yet dusty shelves Many figures small as elves, All of the class of the four-and twelves. James Sweitzer, of course, is making cheese, And quack Dr. Schultz from policemen flees : While Hardy Sebbins never sees Why Ivy should cling to walls and trees. Josephine first does catch my eye The demonstrator of a blondine dye. Margaret is busy as she heaves a sigh, Oh, George, what is your favorite pie? ' Logan Emerson, on ten cents, still hopes To make a trip from coast to coast; An Anplex saleswoman is Alvah Close, Of married life Ruth ' s had a dose. Dema truly an Amazon, Is now the strong woman champion. Emmie is a Deutch comedian, And Grace on the trapeze the best under the sun. Milo with voice as loud and clear, Is doing well as an auctioneer. Playground instructor is Mary Eager And Lillie Fuller is a school teacher.

jzvy: it s T) D The Senior Class OFFICERS President - Vice-President - - - Secretary ... Treasurer - Class Colors - Class Flower Class Motto - FOUR years have passed; the class of 1916 is beginning to climb to the last step of Seniors in M. H. S., and as we realize the nearness of our last step, Commence- ment, may we feel that we have done justice to the school which has given us the wonderful advantages, which have helped to make us the class we are. As Freshmen, we did not decide on a motto, but we felt that it should be Originality ; as Sophomores, we were still undecided but could not think of giving it up for we saw that it applied to us more than ever ; then when our eventful Junior year came to a close, we all felt sure that we really deserved it. Our class has been a class of quality of quantity, brought about through our quality from the beginning, and we feel honored to have had such an increase in our Senior year of members of the Class of ' 17, which has helped to make us the largest class ever graduated from the M. H. S. Our part, in every place of High School life, has been well played. We have been represented in athletics from the beginning when one of the first team men in basket- Hardy Stebbins Dorothy Mix Lillie Fuller - George Eberhart Scarlet and White Richmond Rose Originality ball belonged to the Freshmen class of 1916. Xot only in Basket Ball but in Track and Soccer, have our men helped to win the big games, our class being awarded the pennant for the latter in our Junior year. Probably one of our major points has been a leader- ship in nearly all social functions, our class having devoted much of its time every year to making this part of the school a booming success. We are proud to think that members of our class were the originators of donating Civics books to the School Library, and we hope the following classes will do as much to help the growth of that department. Our annual, published in our Junior year was a grand success; may the future classes have as good luck in clear- ing debts as we did. And now as we leave our school, may we all realize the advantages we have had; namely, the path made by pre- vious classes, and the helpful guidance of the faculty. May we feel that we too, have done something for the better- ment of the school in entering the Alumni of M. H. S. to which we all hope we are now welcome. E. Schmidt.
