28 THE MUNHISK O Class J)ocm The time has come when we must leave the walls Where we have spent so many happy days; With sorrow must we go from out these halls Tor now has come the parting of the ways. Our eager eyes would pierce the misty cloud That shrouds in dimness all our future life. Shall we of glory and of fame be proud, Or shall we weaken in the coming strife? In answer, then, this voice I seem to hear-. Tor liberty and honor ever seek, Strive till a just and worthy goal is near And ever with thy might uphold the weak. Be to thyself and others always true Then will the Master praise bestow on you. Eleanor Parker, ’18.

THE M UNHISKO 27 Senior J tstorp “THEN ANI) NOW” Then:—a thousand memories come flooding into the mind of each of us Seniors as we in turn ponder over this word-memories of long, happy, carefree vears spent in M. II S. When in the fall of nineteen fourteen our large energetic class entered the front door of high school life, little did we dream what was in store for us. We all had brave smiling faces and heads held high; nevertheless, we were at times abashed at the stupendous tasks which opened constantly before us. However, the class of 18 was not one to be easily daunted. It worked together, became strong, and won a wide reputation for accomplishment, not always the orthodox kind. Our boys particularly were noted for their love of a good time. The girls thought Time was given all the love. I Iowever we won’t go into that. Many were the parties, socials, and dances arranged, oftentimes on a day’s notice. Our first year’s credit established us well into the trench of school life. Our Sophomore year was one intermingled with leisure, excitement, and hard work. Certain irresponsible ones broke out at intervals like measles and caused an epidemic of pranks. After this scourge the teachers would be left weak and shaken. The third year found us settled down into the dignity of upper classmen and attempting to win a grand and glorious reputation. The clever ones of our flock presented the best Junior play ever given. The historionic ability of the cast is recorded in the history of the drama. The next event was the annual Junior and Senior banquet, which will ever remain with us a happy memory. Let us pass from “Then” to “Now”. We are Seniors, some may not believe it possible, but. notwithstanding, the office cards certify this to be a fact. Our unsophisticated class of Freshmen has developed into broadened young men and women—if others see us as we see ourselves. No one will deny that we have tried the patience of our teachers, although they excelled Job in this quality; we have upset well laid plans, and have countless deeds to answer for. But these trials and petty grievances have drawn us into closer bonds of understanding and sympathy. Soon our “Now” will be “Then” when we go out into the world of real problems. We have meant to give dear old M. 11. S., our best efforts and she in turn has given us of her abundant store of knowledge. The future only will reveal where the balance stands. Margaret Menke.
