The Monesse Page 3 THE FOREWORD Fifty years have passed since the first high school class was graduated in this community. The Class of 1877 has the distinc¬ tion this year of celebrating their fiftieth anniversary. Conse¬ quently the Editorial Staff of the Monesse 1927 is anxious to honor the Class of 1877 in an appropriate manner. We have therefore, given special recognition to the Class of 1877 in this volume. The Monesse 1927, is the twenty-sixth year book that has been published by the high school students from Momence and the surrounding community. During the first nineteen years a new name was selected every year for the book. However, during the 1920-21 school year, the name “Monesse” was selected and this name has been used during the past seven years. The name is of Indian origin. According to both history and legend, Moness or Monesse,! was the name of the old Indian chief from which the name Momence was derived. In other words the name Momence is only a modification of the name Monesse. We hope that this Year Book will serve as a partial record of the 1926-27 school year. Every section of this book has been prepared in a spirit of loyalty and good will and insinuations of a malicious or personal nature have been avoided. We hope that you will enjoy the volume as a whole, both pictures and reading material. The Monesse 1927 Staff. “I wrote the FOREWORD.”-—Raymond Mullady.
