Why, they ' re alright. Getting along tine. They are the best the Seniors have known in a long time. They are all here tor business, and each tends strictly to his or her cwn business, when not tending to that of someone else. It might be hard for one not acquainted with our faculty to learn much about them through this writeup, on account of it ' s not being entirely authentic. But, however. I might say of our super- intendent that he is just like some little kid, although dressed in man ' s clothes, coming to school with his pockets full of peanuts and candy. Always sharing with those poor needy ones who come to the office. He is a very busy man, but always has time to talk (his main occupation). He is always equal to the situation, and in general quite clever. If you need any help or information, ask him. He is our walking newspaper, encyclopedia, calendar, dictionary, and in general an informa- tion buieau. He luiows most everything. Handy? He certainly is. He saves us lots of time in searching for things we don ' t know. He is the leader and stand by of the Senior class, and he tries to see to it that they know all be knows before xhey graduate. What is his name? Mr. W. W. Curfman. Physics? Oh, yes, Mr. J. A. Glover teaches that. He is our principal. He also teaches some of the minor classes, such as Freshman algebra. Where does he get his world of knowledge? Oh, I suppose from the same place the other teachers get theirs, THE ALMANAC. Is he helpful? Yes, indeed, we couldn ' t get along without him. Athletics? Yes, that is where he shines, and also with the Junior girls. He is our football coach. Yes, Miss Ruth Meeker teaches English. Faithful? Well. I guess. She is doing her very best to impart her knowledge to us. German is also one of her specialities. She is especially helpful to the Freshmen, those poor downtrodden creatures. She takes pity on them and helps them over any of their troubles or difficulties. Strict? Yes, that is Miss Edith Campbell. Maybe some of you knew it before, but she is just as jolly as can be (outside of school hours). She has been here two years, and the pupils have learned to toe the mark in her classes. Helpful? She certainly is. She will do most anything for you except tell you the examination questions. She is a product of M. H. S. and we are proud of her. She teaches mathe- matics and history. More? Yes, just one, last, but not least. Did you know she was making some good cooks? Yes, she teaches domestic science. I expect she will get me for telling you this, but if you don ' t know it, you will soon find out that strict is her middle name. She ' s got ' em all beat. The high school orchestra would suffer without her helpful guidance. Our faculty is the pride of our school. We wish to thank the school board for using such good judgment in selecting our faculty. We wish them all success in the future and a position in M. H. S. next year. Ruby Canaday — Ask Cecil. Page 9 ”

Four short years have iln spenl within her borders — years of mingled toil and pleas- ure, preparing for a future life of usefulness. Their tho ' ts, no doubt, are regre - centering about friends and classmates so closely associated with the near past — so soon to be widely separated. Very little thot, if any, do they give to the Alumni family into which they have just entered, ' out at some future day they will awaken and feel with pride and realization that they aie sons and daughters of the Mulvane j high school. Every year brings a welcome increase in our membership and to this class of 1!U7. lb. Alumni Association extends hearty greetings and welcome. It is our wish that the dreams and hopes which have come to them in the happy years of preparation just past, shall, in this commencement of their life in a bioader realm, prove an inspiration that shall grow stronger and better with each passing year. That you may know just who you are, as a member of the Alumni Association. ;. few words as to its history and purpose will be in older: From the time of the graduation of the first class of six graduates in 1889, until the present time with a total of neatly two hundred and forty members, the spirit of sociability has been fos- tered and developed into the form of an organization. The officers are elected annually and consist of president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Regular clues are not collected and unless you attend the annual banquet, there are no expenses to meet. The reception and banquet given at commencement time each spring is per- haps the most enjoyable affair. The preceding year ' s graduating class has charge of the program and here it is that the timid young graduates are bro ' t before the Alumni and subjected to the most trying and severe initiation ceremonies. If they withstand ihese bravely, they are invited to the banquet ball where a program, consisting of class histories by representatives of each class, letters from absent members and something to eat besides toasts are given. This may not seem to be a proper time and place to drop a just criticism, never- theless, it is a rather noticeable fact that as an association, we are not well enough. united with, and supported by, a good many of our members. Resident Alumni mem- bers are usually present and the Mulvane high school has no more active and help- ful friends than seme of the Alumni. Yet it has not done as much as it might do as an association in promoting the interests of the school, were it a more avtivo and attended organization. What a splendid thing it would be if at least a majority of its more than two bundled members took an active part. The Mulvane High School Alumni Association stands for a greater influence in the promotion of educational spirit and resented by people in all walks of life. As a school is necessarily judged by its graduates, we as individuals, are representing our high school creditably or not, in many parts of our great nation. Now, as wo pause reminiscently and look back on the members of the vaiiotts graduated classes, we cannot but feel that our Alma Water is fulfilling her mission most nobly in making the world better. —LOUISE BLAIR.
