jammed Hall- ways Open School On August 28, nearly 600 students all filled with trepidation and bewilder- ment returned to MA after a lazy summer of 3 months. The jammed hallways showed friends meeting for the first time since last yearp strangers with unfamiliar faces and everyone in total uncertainty. With a new untouched year ahead, many changes were introduced to MA. The most significant alteration was the addition of a new head- master, Mrs. Taylor Hostetter. Wher. addressing the student body, Mrs. Hostetter informed all the students of the new rules and policies at MA. Walking around in a daze behind their mothers, the first graders faced the unknown everywhere they turned. The other more experienced elemen- tary students reported to their teachers. After the high school students took roll, they went by classes to the gym for registration. With a choice of nu- merous subjects, each student care- fully arranged his schedule. Seniors especially took care in selecting sub- jects to insure enough credits for graduation. 22 jane Rainer, Pres. of Student Council, warn welcomes the Student body to the first day school.

Homecoming '74 Massacred Scott With immense enthusiasm and willing minds, the student body worked in unison' to produce a most effective and spirited homecoming week. The Student Council combined ideas and hard-working effort in order to effec- tuate an ideal atmosphere for Home- coming 1974. In the Room Decorating Contest, all the doors were brightly papered and appropriately lettered. Red, white, and blue were coordinated in all as- sortments of clothing on Wednesday as each MA student exhibited his Knight Pride on School Colors Day. Which class has the most spirit? The relay races on Thursday were held to decide this issue. Winning four out of the five races, the Seniors were de- clared the victors and decidedly the most school spirited. During the entire week, certain stu- dents engrossed themselves in prac- tice of all sorts. Cheering, twirling, and marching were all done in preparation of an exciting game. The football players scrimmaged while the home- coming court practiced for the presentation. On Friday each student realized all the frustrations and laborious work had been well worth the effort. Cli- maxing the pep rally was the captivat- ing moment when Meg Graham was declared Miss Homecoming 1974. Af- ter a thorough massacre of the Scott Patriots, MA students relaxed and danced to the ultrasonic sounds of Moccasin Flatt. '24
