,, Y. THE MARooN AND GOLD -1930 Senior Class History lmagine yourself in a reviewing stand, watching a great parade go by, that of the Class of '30, VVatch closely as the yearly events march along and you will not wonder more why the Class of 1930 leads all others in athletics, debating, acting, speaking, promi- nent students and society leaders. Here comes the year '26-27. A group of two-hundred freshies are marching. lm- mediately there comes to the front our athletes. We have a godly number out for football and several get numerals as their reward for hard work. VVe are reprsented by three boys on the High School second team in basketball and we shine in the cross country runs, out- doing the juniors. We also have many intelligent students in our midst for on that first year's honor roll there are many, many freshman names. Our great social success of the year is the All Freshman Party on Feb. 18. But wait, here is a still greater year coming, that of 1927-28. We have a large number of our group on the football squad of this year and several of them receive letters. We there is Andy. Hammie, Teyro, and Vang Shook. Hamilton and Van receiving letters. Homer Van Tine is free thrower champion of this year. Andy leads us in govern- track. Homer Van Tine is free thrower champion of this year. Andy leads us in govern- ment, being elected Student-Body Vice President. Our class party March 16 is a huge social success and we feature a grand climax for our year with a picnic at Monmouth Park. And then appears our junior year, 1928-29, which we believe everyone should agree proves us the finest junior class that ever topped the horizon. Gordon represents the school in a very fine manner at Galeshurg in declamation. In football Hammy. Shook, VVetterling. Windy, and Van all make letters and Hammie is elected captain for 1929-30. Shookie is captain of our basketball team and leads us through many a hard-fought game. He is small but fast, In this season Shook. Van, Hammy, and McBride receive letters. and Andy is elected co-captain of the 1929-30 team. In track Andy breaks several records for the quar- ter mile run, Windy and Oswald in the high jump. and lrey in the distance runs. O11 the debate teams of this year we have VVindy on the negative team. Our class play, Tommy is proven to be one of the best ever staged with such a large attendance that it has to be shown for two night. To finish our successes our junior-senior banquet arrives in all its glory, modernistic to the extreme on May 11. After the marvelous dinner served by Hawcock's we all enjoyed a toast program unique and clever interspersed with musical numbers and dancing and then the floor is cleared for the real dance of the evening. And last, but not last, nog by far the most prominent and greatest of all years arrives. Senior year! We feel sure such dignity never was portrayed before. Andy is elected stu- dent body president, Camilla Cannon and James Henry represent M. H. S. in declamation with two of the bets readings ever delivered in our school. And here comes the big football cli- max. With Hammie as captain and VVetterling, Smith, Andy, Shook, VVindy, Patton, Van, and Fernald as veteran players we help win the Big Nine Football Championship. lNe cer- tainly are proud of those senior boys who are on the team that wins the championship. ln basketball we helped to close a successful season. Successful indeed for we win the Dis- trict Tournament. Roland Oswald is captain of this year's team and we are proud of his work. Our Freshman-Senior Party held in the gym is proclaimed a success by everyone and we think our senior day program was one of the funniest and best. indeed future classes will have to go far to better our May breakfast. Again Camilla and Gordon repre- sent M. H. S. in debate with two other seniors, Harold Murk and Edith Kyle. Thus, the long parade endeth, one that will be the envy and goal of many a future class.
