Our idea of high school was. thai it was. a place when we could do anything we pleased, anywhere we pleased and nobodj would object. It represented freedom npared with the grades. As soon as our careers as Freshmen were started, we began to realize our situation, and set aboul al once to carrj out our idea of high school life. In our teacher ' s estimation there never was and never could be another (lass as bad as we were. The signs of a Freshman having been in any room were some thing [ike the effects left by a cyclone passing through. Of course we were the brightest and healthiest bunch of Freshmen thai ever entered M. H. S. We were noted for our athletic ability. We had a basketball team to be proud of, on account of their victories over I ' dall and also a close game with Derby ' s firsl team. Basketball wasn ' t our only achievement. We had three members on the regular track team, one of which broki the county record in his event and carried home one of the gold medals. The final examinations found us all prepared, and we ended our first year with many new ideas and achievements. The fall of 1914 found us in the Sophomore class, under a new faculty. Nev arrangements had been made, and we tried to settle down a little, but before the school year was half over some vandal had to spoil the reputation we had made with our new teachers, by painting Sophs. 17 on the assembly doors. A little later, on hallowe ' en night a cow found hei wa. into the school house. Our class was well repre- sented in the office the next week when the judgment day came. We tried to he good al year, hut from all appearances we failed. At this time we began to have various ocial ' Vents between the Sophs and the Freshies, which seemed to hind those classes closer together socially. Athletics was not slighted in the least this year. We won first place in the inter-class track meet, and also carried home our share of medals 1 1 din t he county meet. The Junior year found us in still another arrangement. This year we began to study in earnest, hut it did no good. We were shown by figures that we were the dumbest (lass in school. We were below the average, and It seemed that the harder studied the worse we became. However we held our own in athletics. Out of the fourteen sweaters given to football players, seven were claimed by Juniors. A Junior was also captain of the football team. We again won the inter-class track meet. The night after the track meet we gathered at Canaday ' s house and made up some yells. Some members of the Sophomore class stole them, and gave them to the Seniors to yell in chapel, because they didn ' t have the nerve or backbone to do it themselves. This year we carried heme two gold medals and others too numerous to mention, from various meets. We were the only class in high school that possessed gold medals. This, our Senior year is the most exciting and prosperous that we have had yet. We started in with a rush and intend to keep it up the entire Mar. We have attempted and carried oul more things than any other Senior class in the history of the school. ave put on a class play, and are publishing the fiist M. 11. S. Annual. Athletics was nol neglected this year. We started seven men on the regular football team, but on account of the injuries and moving and various other causes we were not able to finish the season with more than four, which was as many as any other class had. .Miss Campbell- You ik i I laugh at. such foolish things. ■ LG

Delta •Senior (ttlass |3ocm On a clear September morning, in the year nineteen thirteen, Came a class into the high school, very young and very green. On the track and in our classes, we worked hard a name to make. Some have left us and some have joined us, till we number four to There is Dean, our jolly member, whom we honor and obey ; Sy, the president of our class, to the seventh grade doth stray; Jerry, who cannot be good, if his life depended on it; And our little, brown-eyed Martha, whose mind is prone to flit ; Doris is our studious member, who always likes to tat; Dewey, our great politician, yes he is a Democrat; The prospects for Rolland are very bright we see, For his motto, Now or Never, is as fitting as can he. Then there is Ruby, whose greal fault seems to he her lack of brain, Karl has a noble mission, that of running everything, And Floyd our farmer man, will he married in the spring. K.
