In 1917 the senior class voted for an annual to replace the older editions and thus the Warbler was born. It continued serving as a memory book to former graduates until the severe shortages during World War II neces- sitated stopping its issuance. With shortages again relieved, the students voted unanimously in 1945 to begin the first of a long line of post-war Warblers. Our yearbook has earned many line awards, especially to be noted are several All State ratings and an All-American honor rating in 1946. We've been workin' on the Warbler ? as sun b g V Sonna.

phyN yN 'B C d ll M413 eww New M sed, Wm of I1 Peering into the deep, dark past of our beloved Crocus. we found that it hasnit al- ways been exactly the same year after year. No, indeed! The original Crocus. published in April of 1910 by the junior class, formerly used advertising of various Mitchell business concerns to help finance it. The issuing of the school paper was partly a business proposition, for single copies sold for 15 cents at first. This price was later reduced to 10 cents per copy or a year s subscription for 75 cents fSeems as though they were bothered by high prices just as we are nowj Issues were printed monthly This ancestor of the Crocus of today came in the form of small magazines with v rious decorations on the covers If you wished, a volume of about 30 pages could also be purchased. The highlight of the Crocus year, how- ever, was a fancy yearbook editiong bound with purple and white ribbons, it included pictures of the seniors and a summary of the yearis doings. The name probably originated from the fact that the state flower of South Dakota is also the Crocus. During World War II, the Crocus also doubled as a yearbook be- cause of severe shortages Each yearbook contained a copy of every edition of the past year The present Crocus is published every three weeks by the MHS Journalism class and is printed by the Daily Republic and the printing classes H Ab sq d dC Mg Shly yl. d P Me 9 , . . . , . a . . .
