On September first, 1935, seventy-six Soohomores drew a sentence of nine months and were sent up the river to the high school. The prisoners are confined to hard labor in the field learning, using their brains to break the huge boulders of English, geometry, history, biology, and foreign language. A few have been made trusties but the guards, Fleming, Turner, Seybold, Seybold, Bausch, Felts, Schroth, and Smith are still hired to shoulder their muskets and keep watch for fear some brave soul might try to escape the horrors of the M.C.H.S. prison. Mr. F.M. Peterson, the warden of our fair prison, was so kind as to let the Sonhs have a little party in the prison mess hall on December 6. Mary, UGuzzle-em-up-quickn Paul hauled in the vitamins. But when it came to the sugar for the lemonade, Ralph, Nwaldo-care-avi-atusn Bushes had to rush home to get it because Bonnie, WI'm-going-to-be-a-surgeonn Laurence forgot it, Louis, WWill-you-help-me-prove-this-theoremn Wagy led the minuet 50

On September the third, we, sixty-three courageous freshmen entered the doors of M.C.H.S. to seek further laurels in scholar- ship and athletics. When we became accustomed to the routine, the class election was held. The class of '39 chose C.H. Summers to lead them into the greater field of education. Verne Purcele was elected sec- retary and Frank DuBree was selected to take care of the finances such as they were. Some of us entered the speech class to seek recognition For our dramatic ability. Some of the boys were interested in football and basket ball. The girls interested in athletics Joined the G.A.A. and the M.W.O.L. After returning from the holiday vacation, we came in con- tact with our first real task, to pass the semester exams. When these were completed, we, the members of the freshmen class, de- cided we would finish our freshman career with high honors. 32
