May this Year Book serve as a partial rec¬ ord of events of the 1925-26 school year. Twenty- live years have passed since the first year book was published by students of our high school, and we sincerely hope that this volume will compare favorably with previous publications. The pre¬ paration of every section of this book has been prompted by a spirit of loyalty and good will. In¬ sinuations of a personal or malicious nature have been avoided. We hope that you will enjoy this little volume. The Monesse 1926 Staff. Not the same as last year. The Monesse Page 5 N. P. Jensen The W. W. Chipman P. J. Cleary 1926 I. F - Hertz E. G.

With idle fancy I fell asleep And dreamed a dream peculiarly deep. A white ship dropped anchor near Swiftly in my dream self without fear I walked? the deck of this white ship, ‘Destiny I heard an unseen lip Call out her name. ‘Destiny that wonder ship of fame. But what of her passengers and crew Of whom there seemed to be so few? As I sauntered along the sparkling deck, Looking here, searching there, craning my neck, I came at last to a man at thei wheel; I advanced a step closer and began to feel That I had known this man before. Ahd just as I moved from my place So as to see plainer his face, He shouted, ‘What’ This! ! !’ in my ear. With that shout, vanished all doubt. My Memory became instantly clear, Intuition and experience said, ‘Mr. Munson is near ’ About this time fragrant odors my nostrils assailed My stomach its hollowness loudly bewailed. Upon an open door at my left or north would be better Was printed the word, “GALLEY ’ in large, gxdden letters, I put my head through the opening, what a sight met my eyes. There stood Miss Coontz baking cornbread and pies. Recovering somewhat I explored some more Until I discovered another door. Half afraid, half in awe I looked into this cavernous maw. Lo and Behold!! At a desk I had seen before Stood Miss Hardy teaching English II, III and IV. Reconciled now as to the feebleness of my mind I was about to walk on and find what I could find. When my attention was arrested by shouts and laughter near I whirled around, my eyes belching fear. Down the deck came a group of girls, Miss Palmer in the lead Chattering apd laughing having a great time indeed, They were taking a ten mile hike you see, But having no land must take it at sea. Excited no more by the sights that I saw I will of each for you a clear picture draw. In, the first to which I came surrounded by globes, telescopes and flowers Stood Mr. Hungerford teaching a science class the meaning of magnetic powers “Steger has something else than pianos ’—Bernice Martin he Monesse Page 15 Xext was a room from which) music issued forth, In it was Miss Brown winding- a victrola for all she was worth; This was a class in musical history Although to students who took it, it was always) a mystery. In. the next, in which a class learned bookkeeping tricks Miss Mauritzson was patiently explaining that two and two make four, not six. In the room next to it came the clash, bang , b ang of typewriters in action Telling 1 of the efforts of students to clip thedr records a fraction. From here we go to the bottom of the ship The part to go under first should the ship tip. Here fitted out in aquarium style That is, fishes in tanks an� d some dead a while, Here in front of him samples in dishes Stood Mr. Moore talking on the nutrition of fishes. This then was what had been the Ag. room of yorei, But who would recognize it as such, any more? And now directly across from this room Comes the sound of saws and hammers making an awful boom, Upon looking into this room we are surprised to see In place of Mr. Liberty stands Mr. Lee. With a frown on his face He is sandpapering a certain place On a table with care As though, someone had been and gone but left his mark there. Looking around us we see a troop of boys in sailor suits dressed Going through drills made to expand thedr chests. Standing on one side with an authorative air Is Mr- Liberty, criticising here, encouraging there. No sooner hjad these marched off leaving me alone) When I was attracted by a jabbering in some tongue unknown. Entering the room from whence came these sounds My eyes met a sight with reason out of bounds, Miss Stone and a language class were exercises doing While from her mouth a strange jargon was ensuing. Leaving this room for one more inviting We come to one in which a woman is wrting And drawing geometrical polyhedrons on the board, As she suddenly faces us we feel like one stabbed by a sword For there stands the Miss Britton whom we knew Convincing a mathematics class thpt x equals 2. Suddenly I felt myself falling through space, Fear gripped my soul, sweat formed on my face, Abruptly with a loud bump, bump, I awoke from my sleep To find myself lyinlg on the floor in a heap.—Charles Krueger. “I wish I had Clarence Graves’ dimples.”—Nita Wefcer Page 16 The Monesse ( «« iigj m it “I wish] I was as tall as Raymond. 1 ”—Henry Beaupre _ he Monesse Page 17 SENIORS T.KfLM “The chief is ‘me.’ ”—John Cole Page 18 The Monesse SENIOR CLASS Marcell Hall, President M.

The programs which served also as place cards were! novel in design and had been prepared by Miss Margaret Irwin and Miss Irene Hardy. The Year Book Banquet is one of the traditional social events for the high school students and is possibly enjoyed more than anything else during the entire school year. After the banquet Mr. Lee led in community singing, and Ethel and Les¬ ter Kramer rendered some popular musical selections. Anthony Mazur, a mem¬ ber of the Senior Class, proved a very witty toastmaster and humorous responses were made the following: Delorah, Godess of Victory_ Richard, the Lion 1 Hearted_ The Monesse ’26_ The North Seats-- The Divided Class_.__ The Cradle Roll_;_ The Kindergarten _ The Spirit of ’25-’26- The Faculty, a Collective: Group The Village to the North__ Arkansas, the Wonder Land_ What the Girls Accomplish_ My Army Ancestor__ Storer, My Good Man Friday_ A Descent From Above_:_ Why and Where I Hang My Coat My Country Friends___ Why I Admire Independence_ French and Fresh Aii_ The Changing World- Being Above the Rest_ Is Every Balance a Trial_ Music and ! !___ The Last Introduction_ The Last Response- _Richard Baker _ Delorah Storer ..

The supper consisted of duck and every¬ thing else that goes with it to hglp make, it good. (At least the boys thought so.) Virgil Denton and Gook Hart were in very poor circumstances as both had the misfortune to have their collar bones broken. Both of them made out fairly well, especially Gook, as Floyd Storer sat beside hime and assisted him in eating his supper. But overlooking t ' hesei unfortunate facts, the boys departed each saying that Miss Coontz was the best ever. Senior Party Yes! The Seniors had a party. It was given at Park’s restaurant March 29, at 7:30 o’clock. s (In the eventing—not morning.) The chaperons present v, ero Miss Hardy, Mr. Hungerford, Miss Palmer and Miss Stone. The main diversion of the evening 5 ' was playing progressive “Bunco” but many other games were al¬ so played which everyone seemed ' to enjjoy. The refreshments that were served were as follows: sandwiches-, pickles and coffee. All departed at a late hour, each reporting a good time.
