THE COMET ‘a NINETEEN THIRTY Senior Class Diary E, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty, have been raveled for four years, and now we are ready to sleep. But It SAL4 before oblivion overtakes us we shall again review our un- se usual achievements. In 1926 we began to master the untried field of high school. By Miss Mann’s constant and individual work with us we laid a solid foundation, and the next year we entered our Sophomore Class. The same year Mr. Kling came to P. M. Hi and was our home- reom teacher. Asa football coach, teacher, and friend we found him to be the very best. The next year he followed us as we joyously crowded into the Junior room. It was this year that our class proved itself to be one that enjoys the lighter as well as the heavier side of life. This was shown ” in our class play, “Cyclone Sally,” the high scheol minstrel, and the ball games. Our success in all these is due to none other than our ver- satile teacher. December 1—To the sorrow of us all, Joe Graybill accidentally shot himself while hunting. We shall always remember him as one of our best-loved companions. At the Junicr-Senior Banquet we separated for a long vacation. September 13, 1929——We are all back, and dignified(?) Seniors. Mr. Kling is with us again. In our play, “Creepy Crest,” our dramatic ability was shown. In March a great vacancy was left in our school as Mr. Bagby left. But soon Mr. Miller was here to carry on the work. May—Junior-Senior play, “Cinderella O'Reilly.” Hard work followed, but the majority of us were successful. And now we are ready to go out in search of harder and larger tasks. 20

THE COMET Rt’. +=NINETEEN THIRTY Junior Class History rae Ea N September 13th, 1929, we arrived at P. M. H. S. to take Big SK P E LGN vgs. up the task of becoming highly educated men and women. The first few days of our Junior career were spent in cempos- Ris oe BMS fe ing a programme of studies. Football was in full sway, and we attended all home games in a body and lent our vocal powers in support to the team. Thanksgiving brought holidays, and for a few days we did not have te spend cur time making excuses for unpreparedness. From Thanks- giving till Christmas was just existence. The week following the Christmas holidays was a veritable night- . mare. Examinations were but three weeks off and, for some, repre- sented nothing short of a calamity. Exams over, the class settled down to a few months of easy breathing. In basketball our girls played a prominent part, furnishing the main part of the team. Bessie Graybill, Ruth McKee, Frances Bagby, Mabel Cox, Linda Dold, and Belle Dold were our representatives on the team. With Spring came romance. We received our class pins, and very soon afterward the pins began to appear and disappear from the bosoms of the ladies. ‘Just the passing fancies of young men in Spring.” Baseball commanded the attention of those who were determined to obtain their numerals. The baseball seascn of 1930 opened with a majority of players from the Junior Class. The old routine of classes, holidays, and exams carried the class to a happy close on May 3i1st, 1930. Then the BIG EVENT of the season! Our Junior-Senior Banquet! What could sound better—cr be better? There’s nothing we can say to describe it. We can only heave a heartfelt sigh.
