Almost There In the fall of 1933, twenty-three of America's youth en- tered into that strange and bewildering life known as high school. After having been initiated and becoming accustomed to the general routine of the high school, we began a happy and successful year. The class met and elected the following officers: Nathan Geren, President, Angeline Lee, Vice-presi- dent, Raymond Hartman, Secretary, and, Dorotha Powell, Reporter. Realizing the truth of the old adage All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy , we had four successful parties. This year we lost six members, three of which had been with us for the previous eight years. They are Clara Hartman, Wayne Miller, Sheldon Hall, Edith Nique, Carl MISS SWAB Dukes, and Rex Shafer. Jll7l'i0'l'S1I071.S0'I' In September, 1934, we returned and welcomed as new members Wayne Westall, Maedonna Stout, Edwin Inbody, and LeRoy Thompson. This year Leah Mae Reese was elected President, Nathan Geren, Vice-President, Angeline Lee, Secretary, and Ruth Bowersox, Reporter. During the year four parties were held and all proved to be successful. In June we met at Mt. Blanchard and there had a swimming party. Again in the fall of 1935, a class of twenty-one assembled in the halls of old M. C. H. S. One new member, James Griffith, joined our ranks. Early in the year the class elected Nathan Geren, President, Dorothy McVey, Vice-President, Angeline Lee, Secretary, and Wayne Westall, Reporter. October ninth was a very exciting day for the Juniors and November twelfth a still more exciting one for on the former we picked our rings and on the latter received them. The class enjoyed three parties besides a Senior Hi party held on Hallowe'en. All three years in high school the class has been well represented in athletics as well as other school activities. Miss Swab, our sponsor for three years, has guided us safely through the trials of high school life. We hope that the next year will be a happy and successful as the past three years have been, and, if it is, we can look back upon the brief time spent within the walls of dear old M. C. H. S. with great satisfaction. -Louise King Standing: C. Collert, B. Steininger, L. Flath, E. Schwab, W. Westall, R. Hartman, N. Ge-ren, E. In- body, R. Crawford. R. Bowersox. L. Reuse. Miss Swub.

Twenty Oration TONIGHT WE TAKE OFF. WHERE SHALL WE LAND? Members of the Board of Education, fellow classmates, school teachers and friends: Tonight we take off. Where shall we land? This is a question that con- fronts each one of us tonight. This is a question that requires serious thought. It requires careful consideration from every angle in order to be sure that we shall not make mistakes. We have taken a twelve-year course in aviation. Tonight we have reached our first goal and each one of us is a pilot. During our twelve years we have had co-pilots. These co-pilots are our teachers who have gone with us on our flights into different fields. When weather was stormy and flying was difficult, our co-pilots were ready and willing to lend a helping hand and guide us to clearer weather. Tonight we are going to take oft' on our first solo Hight. Each one of us will fly his own plane. Our co-pilots will not be with us on this greatest of flights across the Sea of Life. No doubt we shall have to battle many storms, storms that will be much worse than we have encountered in the past years 5 but with undying courage and trust in God we shall be able to fly safely through these obstacles. May all of us, you who are now flying through life, and we who are just starting, consider God as our co-pilot. There are only two landing fields upon which we may land our planes. One is the field of Failure and the other the field of Success. There is only one course to each of these fields. It is up to us which one we are going to travel. The one that is the more difficult to travel leads to Successg but if we reach its destination we shall be rewarded. The other is the easier. If we are careless and indifferent we shall land in the field of Failure. For twelve years we have been building our planes. We have tried to mend the flaws and make them stronger. And tonight as we give our planes a last in- spection we believe that they are ready for the flight. We believe they are ready to start on the course that leads to Success. We shall all take oil' at the same time, as they do in races, but this is not a race. It is not a contest to see who shall reach the goal first. It is a flight that will take careful planning and we may, at times, have to slow down. But it will be best to go slow and be a little late, than to go too swiftly and drop into the field of Failure. Tonight we have come to the parting of the waysg and each one will go his own way. Some may go on for more schooling, other may notg but whatever we choose to do, or whatever vocation we may follow 5 if it is upright and respectable, if we have undying courage, and if we put our trust in God, our co-pilot, we shall land our planes in the field of Success. -Willis King

Learning Fast When we first entered high school in the fall of '34 we were, I suppose, as green as the Freshmen are this year. In our freshman year our class consisted of twenty-three members. Much to our disappointment we lost five of our members, Bernice Smith, Irvin Woodward, Esther Bergman, Carl Dukes, and Rex Shafer. This was a great loss but we were successful in gaining two new members, Helen Schnegg, and Tommy Coleman. This year as Sophomores we have been successful in selling pop corn at our hcme football games. Our class has been entertained by two parties, the first, a Weiner roast which was held at Buckeye Lake, Bluffton. The second was a Christmas party. We hope our next two years will be as successful as the first two, and that we will gain new members instead of losing them as we did in our Freshman year.
