Kevin McMahn Yes most of the classes give students extra skills. Dawna Westphal Yes for doing something in their leisure time but for the iob market it might stimulate a student for o career.

With four sections of band and all kinds of sports being offered, MHS became a more spirited school. Jazz, marching, pep, and symphonic bands led the Music Department to a good start. To add to the band were the awards they won participating in festivals and band days. Hosting the annual Spring Concert was a major part of the band activities. On March 8, six hundred band and choir students from the district performed MUSIC IN THE AIR on campus. Under the supervision of Mr. Robert Klevan, choir and guitar continued successfully in the music program. Independent study piano lessons and the Community Bagpipe Band were new additions to the program. Something really new in the PE Department was coed PE. Students signed up for any period of PE and then picked out what sport they would play for six weeks. Even with coed PE, segregrated groups of boys and girls were found in many classes. One problem PE teachers found with coed PE was that when the ten minute shower bell rang, students automatically left to change. Girls entered the locker room on one side and boys on the other side, and it was harder to keep all the students inside till the passing bell rang. Otherwise, PE teachers found the new facilities and coed PE suited their tastes. Mr. Robert Klevan bond MDS

Working with the hands was a necessity in the Agriculture, Industrial Education, Art, and Consumer Education Departments. Carving and crafting helped to uncover students' hidden talents. Independent study in the Agriculture Department became a new program. Observing animal subject matter such as sheep, beef, and swine was part of the course. Supplied with a new building, otherwise known as the combination shop, the agricultural building held the ROP Heavy Equment and Maintenance, Ag Shop for Ag Mechanists, Welding, and constructing classes. While the Agriculture Department received the new building, industrialists employed new teachers. Mr. James Capps in Motorcycle Repair took over for Mr. David Gale who transferred to LHS. Because Mr. Richard Bittaker had extra duty patroling the campus, Mr. Clarence Fritz acquired the iob of teaching the ROP Reinforced Fiber Glass class. Industrial Education Department Head Jim Westmoreland commented, We have a good Industrial Department this year because Mr. Harry Bartley is teaching drafting, Mr. Bill Ray instructs auto, Mr. Tom Evans directs machinists -trainings Mr. Richard Bittaker teaches electronics, and I guided the woodworking program. With only two teachers in the Art Department, class offering were limited. Changing Textiles class to Art Hangups was the only additional change to the department. On March 8, I977, the Art Department exhibited student artwork in the Student Center. This presentation to the public was also sponsored by the Music Department. Coeducational Consumer Education classes made students realize that the responsibility of home lives pertained to both sexes. Students learned new challenges in all the classes. Ms. Florence Kugleman felt that every young man and woman can benefit from the Consumer Education's program and that consumerism is everyone's business in today's economy. I.
