 T II E A R R () W—PAOH six SENIOR CLASS HISTORY At the beginning of the school year, Septem- ber, 1913, forty-three entered as Freshmen, the largest class that ever entered this High School, with the intention of making that class not only the largest, but the best that ever was graduated from M. H. S. and one worthy of honor and remembrance. In the Freshman year Erwin Keller won the gold medal and Stella McAdams won third place in the declamatory contest. The Fresh- man boys also won recognition in athletics. There were a few class parties during the year. Before the end of the term some of the members dropped out. In the Sophomore year there were thirty-six students. Three new students entered the class. The Sophomores gave the Freshmen a reception which was a great success. In re- turn the Freshmen gave the Sophomores a sleighride party and a supper. The Sopho- more boys played football against the other classes and tied. In the declamatory contest of 1914 Erwin Keller won the gold medal and Emmett Sheridan won third place. At the beginning of the school year, 1915- 1916, thirty-five out of the original forty-three were still with the class. During this year several of the boys became prominent in the football and baseball teams and helped make both teams a success. The most important social event of the Junior year was a banquet given for the Seniors in the school laboratory, which was prettily decorated with class colors and flowers. During the banquet toasts were given by members of both classes. When the class reached its Senior year three more members had dropped out. The Seniors were particularly successful in the de- clamatory contest, winning three out of the first four places. The first place, or gold medal, was won by Stella McAdams, and the third and fourth places by Emmett Sheridan and Mabel Hoeft, respectively. The Seniors were guests of honor at a prom and banquet given by the Juniors on February 9th and May 18. Athletics were greatly benefited by the good material in the Senior class and mem- bers of the class have at all times taken part in the High School plays given during their four years in the M. H. S. The class flower is a white rose; class col- ors, maroon and white; and the motto, “Im- possible is Un-American.” The members of the class are very grateful to the kind teachers who have helped them during their four years of High School life. —EMILY KIPPERS, T7. m--------► CLASS OFFICERS Emmett Sheridan .................President Emily Kippers ..............Vice President Bennie Peacock ..................Treasurer »-------- Colors: Maroon and White.
