rMISKODEED CLASS POEM For many years we ' ve lived and learned. And toiled toward goals as yet unknown. And found the place that study earned. Or mastered hated tasks alone. The years that brought us friendships dear, And gave us countless hours of joy, Bring with their close ideals sincere And mem ' ries nothing can destroy. And tho ' the time has come to part. For each a different life to lead, Our law Be Square will rule each heart. And be itself sufficient creed. Carolyn Smith ' 24 [Page 24]

MISKODEED Class Histor IS y K. Ge It is within the walls of Mishawaka High School that a Golden Treas- ury of memories has accumulated for the class of ' 24. As we turn from page to page, we see recorded in that great memory book of our class, only the sunny hours. Each leaf seems fragrant with the sweetness of those four happy years. Our eyes close, while for a moment, we again dream over a few of the days that will be long remembered. It all seems to have begun on the last day of August in 1920, when Father Moran sent out from his fold, one hundred twenty-five seekers of knowledge, and bade them proceed southward to the seat of higher learning. The first day was the most difficult — especially for the boys who suffered because the Seniors tried to scare out their greenness. As time passed, the class became more accustomed to the ways of the school. Merrit Farrar was elected president. After the election of the class officers, an even greater event took place. A Halloween Masquerade was given, to which the Seniors were invited as guests. The sophomore year revealed the great possibilities for the class of ' 24. Vincent Robinson, as president, proved a wise choice. He has always been an enthusi- astic and capable booster of ' 24. In addition to a loyal president, helpful sponsors were chosen. Through their aid The Xew Lady of Bantock was successfully dramatized. The play was coached by Miss Heimbach, while Miss Doyle, and Mr. and Mrs. Mueller assisted with the other phases of making the one night presentation a great success. In the ' 21- ' 22 athletic season, the Sophomores showed promising mate- rial. Kenny Gerard was captain of the varsity basketball team, and also played first team football. Tom Fuson, Francis Kraus, Louis Dennis, Ros- coe Marker and Virgil Reed were future possibilities in the realm of sports. The Sophs, with Tom Fuson as captain, won the interclass basketball tourney. Buster Stearns and Kathryn Stout represented the class in the oratorical contest. The Sophomore party of the year, which was virtually speaking a dance, was held in February, in the high school auditorium. The Juniors of the class of ' 24, reveled in their numerous activities. The policy of frequent get-to- gether parties was adopted. At Christmas time, an elaborate party was enjoyed, with the Seniors as guests. Miss Doyle showed her ingenuity in devising clever decorations and in planning the event. We were not to enjoy her long, however, because she was wiled away to Indianapolis. On March 8 and 9, the class play, Daddv Longlegs, was presented with Mary Burnett and Francis Kraus interpreting the leading roles. The proceeds were carefully saved to help publish the Mis- KODEED the following year. V. Robinson [Page 25]
