GLASS fH15ToRu The Pioneers of '28 CHAPTER I. Early in the fall of 1924, a band of seventy-three courageous stu- dents led by Carol Foster, set out to explore the vast dark wilderness of High School life. Would our adventures net ultimate successf-or hopeless failure? It was for us to find out. Though our green-clad forms couldhbe readily detected against the brown walls of the great forest of M. C. H. S., we soon learned to ad- just ourselves to our environment. Our brilliancy in scholarship was soon self-evident, our industrious nature asserted itself when we held a bakery sale to increase the amount in our treasury. We entered so- ciety by the well-known road of a Freshman Reception. Sad to relate, however, we lost a few of our fellow-men in the semi-annual conflict with Semester Examinations, while a few others fell by the wayside- vict-ims to the arrows of Flunker's lists. CHAPTER II. In September of the following year, we set out again, this time, as befitting a group of fifty-eight Sophomores, hoping to conquer the mysterious realms of Geometry-and Caesar, of course! Under the guidance of Martin Kratz, we proceeded a goodly way on our journey, successfully evading the Flunker's List most of the time. We became quite proud of ourselves, some of our band having' attained prominence in the field of athletics. But not all of our pride was justifiable, as we discovered at the end of the semesters, much to our disappointment. Geometry, in the form of examinations, was taking its toll. But in spite of all discouragements, we struggled on, though our little group was diminishing from time to time. CHAPTER III. The fall of 1926 found forty-eight experenced pioneers entering upon their journey, with Winfield Holmes as a worthy leader. No more did we fear Semester Examinations. Our place was well estab- lished in School Activities. Our feeling of responsibility was not over- estimated. The fate of the Junior Play and the Junior-Senior Ban- quet depended on us alone, and we may say, with the correct degree of modesty, that our efforts were received laudably, and that our work was carried through to a creditable finish. Success was within our reachg our Senior year would decide whether we were to win or lose. CHAPTER IV. We, the pioneers of the Class of '28, are well on the way toward our goal. As one exemplyfying' the spirit of our class, we chose for our president this year, Heath Bumstead. The Seniors, comprising a group of forty-three members, are noted for scholastic ability and ath- ietic superiority. The Senior Circus, proclaimed by many the best ever has come and gone. We are now looking forward to the presen- tation of our class play, and, after that the end of our journey through lligh School-graduation. But the Great Adventure is yet 'vo come. Let us keep that pioneer spirit-so essential a part of the Class of '28-with us through life. Let us continue to cherish that spirit-that dauntless courage, that ability to surmount all obstacles which arise before us-as one of the priceless possessions acquired while we were students in M.
