Senior History Our high school days will soon be over. We regret that we must leave our dear old school and separate from the many friends we have made. Our happy care-free life here has been most memorable and it is difficult to make an analysis of our feelings. We realize that the four years training has been the last stepping stone before journeying on to college. It was the fall of ’21 when we entered high school. On that bright September morning when twenty-eight of us freshmen surveyed the assembly room we little realized the fame we would attain in the pages of the Myrtle Point high school history. During our first two years we were well represented in athletics, debate and other high school activities. In our third year who but Barton Stemmier, a junior, should represent the school in the County Oratorical Contest. He proved himself capable of doing so by winning the silver cup. Marguerite Laird and Wanah Randle held positions on the debating team. The many social events of our Junior and Senior years were very successful and not only molded us in closer bonds of comradeship, but were a most happy medium in our high school life. Not one of us can forget the friends we have made, our teachers who have labored earnestly that we might be prepared to go on to college, or our debt of gratitude which we owe to the high school and to those who have made possible our coming here.
