MYRTLE WEST TAYLOR Angel's eyes are like the starlight. The ebon shades of night match her hair. Although aesthetic in taste Myrtle possesses the “Go and get done” spirit of this class. She is an athlete, being an exceptionally good runner. But we predict that some day an Apollo will carry her off to his Olympus, even if he does have to use a “Ford.” Myrtle recently took the first prize in a beauty contest. CLARENCE ALBERT WEIRELI Upon Clarence’s entrance within the walls of historic M. H. S., his democratic friends, not liking his lengthy cognomen, rechristened him Butts.” He is a promising photographer; as a chemist he can not be beat, he is the general advisor of the Freshies,” and boss of the “dinner brigade.” His ever present, sunshine-radiating grin rivals that of the Cheshire Cat. All herein join and unanimously declare, J. C. A. Weideli is a jolly good fellow.” JESSIE OLIVE THOMAS “I chatter, chatter as I go.” Had Jessie belonged to Juno’s court, she, too, must have met with Echo’s fate. She is the proverbial woman, never quiet. The reticent find her an excellent companion until she enters into an interrogative mood; then all scatter as before,a rapid fire gun. This abnormal curiosity has caused her to become a hard student and adept in answering class room questions.

THE M U N H I S K O • s J istorp of tfie Class of 1918 In 1! 14 tlie Junior Class made its first appearance in the High School. e were a jolly bunch and no “greener” than the usual Freshies. We showed remarkable ability and were distinguished in all school affairs—the boys in athletics and the girls for school spirit manifested in other ways. hen at length we ascended to the Sophomore year, more interesting things began to happen. The girls energetically practised and gave a play in which they all appeared at their best, although a trifle shaky. How old they tried to look with their powdered hair and quaint gowns. The boys loyally assisted them both silently and otherwise. Our male quartet dolefully chanted to the long suffering audience some popular songs which contrasted strangely with the atmosphere of the play. Other events too numerous to mention have passed, and now we must realize that we are in the much coveted role of Juniors. We still maintain our enthusiasm and support of athletics, though we have given up other infantile pleasures. Many of our members have developed qualities hitherto unknown to them. Our reserved woman hater of previous years has softened in both head and heart, and may frequently be seen at school functions with a voting lady of the Freshman Class. 'Pile boys quite outshine the girls in the supposed femimine traits of vanity and curiosity, each one possessing a small pocket comb, which accounts for the smooth and glossy appearance of their hair. e even suspect one youth of sleeping with a stocking top over his pompadour. 1 hey have also organized an original form of orchestra which consists of a human thumb and the surface of a desk. The dull thud which accompanies it is intended to relieve the monotony of the various recitations. However, one quality which is possessed by all our class alike is what is commonly called “talkativeness.” This is shown in many of the classrooms where our future orators and lawyers talk long and strenuously, whether they have ideas of the subject under discussion or not. Our class meetings are conducted in the most dignified manner except, of course, when discussions are in full sway. Then indeed, in the case of our long enduring president, patience ceases to be a virtue.” One item to our credit this year is our play. “Green Stockings.” for which we all so diligently (?) strove to sell tickets. There were scenes in that play which some of us will never forget, assuredly none who took part. I am sure you can still see Aunt Ida violently taking hysterics with Celia nearly frantic over the predicament. However, it is not for ns to praise our accomplishment, but from all reports it seems to have upheld the reputation of the school. Since then there have been many social functions, but the one highest and brightest object which stands out above all the rest is the Junior-Senior banquet. This long anticipated event was an unrivalled success and will be remembered long after our school days are over. Now, we all look forward to next year when we will carry all honors, athletic and otherwise and when we are graduated there will be left a vacancy which will be hard to fill. Marian Fisher.
