Reminiscences o Four Years In M H S When twenty'two freshmen entered high school in January nineteen twenty' two it was the beginning of the famous class of twenty-six. In the class was the flirtatious Juanita Mary Sue the pianist Clarence Alice Frances Mary Ball Wahneita Childers Morri. our basketball player Hugh Frank' lin of the famous Pickens Coupe' Eckie Paul Kelly Otha Fletcher Opal Conley Grace Lowery Ellen White Mattie Short Vetrice Bonds, Tommy Smith John Junior Emmet Ramey Fred Brinkworth Ruth of many romances and Rozetta. Then in the fall of nineteen twenty'two some still greener freshies entered high school. Among these were conscientious Bertha busy Burl Kathryn the mimic the two Helens, Johnnie the II Arthur Mabel Bowers Hazel Barnes Nova Scotia Rex Isom Doodle Clarence Walker Johnnie Bundy Robert Keane Menlo Miller Bur' lon Lewis Jim Root Lowell Wright, Delo Moore Irene Hill Grace Greer Belva Jones Hilda Tranter Alberta Mitchell Tony Jenny Mary Cutsinger Helen Shanks Evangeline Lewis and myself. Before we had hardly started on our long joumey to the gateway of the World of Men and Women, Paul Kelly, Grace Lowery, Vetrice Bonds, Tommy Smith, Em- met Ramey, Clarence Walker, Johnnie Bundy, Robert Keane, Menlo Miller, Delo Moore decided to leave and go to work. So when we reached the Sophomore year, the first stop, many had dropped out. Then Belva Jones decided to get married, Mattie Short and Alberta Mitchell moved to Indianapolis, Jennette Qjenny as we called her thenj moved to Bedford, and Ro' zetta decided it was too hard for her and got out and started walking. But we had some additions to our class in Lysle Hackler, who is quite a long asset, Louis Beas- ley and his little brother, Augustus, and Stanley Smith. When we made our next stop,'the junior year, a few more familiar faces had disappeared. Doodle had gone to Bedford Business College, Mabel Bowers went to work, Hazel Barnes moved to Mt. Carmel, Illinois, and Olive Erwin moved to Wash' ington. During this year we published the school paper, the Hi Herald, and beat Bedford. We did both up in fine style. Then Minnie Naugle and Mary Sue de- cided to rush on, and they grabbed the bus that the class of twenty-five was on and graduated with them. At last we reached our last stop, the senior year. We published an annual which we tried to make worth while, upheld the standards of M. H. S. and bettered ourselves. At the beginning of this year Solon Coyle moved to Bedford, and Helen Shanks and Irene Hill dropped out. But Leland Bryant decided to join our famous class, and with this force of thirty'nine members we passed through the gateway to the World of Men and Women, h .M HE. .1-Mm XID l KN-Jlf I MXN I LIIIJN I I Y NX 4 N I YV I I' If' l . . f . . . , , 1 3 ! :D Q . . , .,,. .
