Marysville High School students participated in a wide spectrum of community-related functions this year and at the same time gained both independence and responsibility. Whether working for their own purpose or for school sponsored ROP classes, MHS students showed an interest in community affairs. Many students earned a little extra spending money while being employed at the local fast food chains-Jack-in-the-Box or McDonalds-or by participating in ROP classes in several down-town business. On the other hand, students took part in community matters for enioyment. Along with being a counselor, a week long stay at Woodleaf beckoned many iuniors and seniors. Another facet of community involvement were charity projects. Serving as Peppermints at the Rideout Hospital, girls performed volunteer work such as distributing newspapers and flowers, selling candy, or iust cheering up the patients. The annual Walk-A-Thon sponsored by the March of Dimes and the new Rock-and-Roll-A-Thon sponsored by The American Health Care Association sent many students into the community asking for helpful donations for a worthy cause. Informing the community of current MHS experiences through the Independent Herald, Kathy Mikkelson composed a weekly column appearing in the local newspaper every Saturday. At other times, Marysville students were invited to speak at community gatherings such as Rotary Club meetings and AFS International Dinners. Summer jobs also involved students with the community as students were employed at local stores and businesses, produce and harvesting corporations, or CETA programs.

With the traditional election of Mr. and Ms. TOMAHAWK on January 7 and January l l, six well- known finalists were voted to reign as TOMAHAWK royalty. Three girls Ueannie Cameron, Vicki Hill, and Nancy Petersonl and three boys iLon Hatamiya, Ted Melden, and Jim Givensl were elected in the final election by a predominantly senior vote totaling 204. More pressure was placed on the students in this year's elections concerning the familiar popularity vote. A set of requirements devised by members of the TOMAHAWK staff were given to students before they cast their votes, hopefully encouraging MHS students to eliminate the popular vote and vote for the most qualified candidate. Problems surrounding the so-called popularity contest involved the under- classmen's limited knowledge of the candidate's accomplishments. Rules included the scholastic stand point and school and community service shown by the candidates. Students were asked to vote for the candidates who were involved in a combination of student government, sports, clubs, and class duties while displaying helpfulness and friendliness to teachers as well as to other students. ln the preliminary voting on Friday, January 7, only seniors were allowed to vote in electing the eleven candidates. Preliminary voting results for Ms. TOMAHAWK were Jeannie Cameron, Vicki Hill, Nancy Peterson, Kathy Stephenson, Gigi Reggi, and Linda Mizogami, while Mr. TOMAHAWK candidates were Lon Hatamiya, Ted Melden, Jim Givens, Steve Stassi, and David McQuay. On January 1 1, the school-wide final election was held for Mr. and Ms. TOMAHAWK to six finalists. Although the selection of Mr. and Ms. TOMAHAWK took place in January, the identities of the winners were kept secret, and students waited with anticipation until yearbooks were distributed at the end of the school year. llnvallvements Lon: football, basketball, track, Debate, Freshman Class president, Block M VP, CSF, CSF Historian, Band, Speech, SA president, Boys' State, captain of frosh and varsity football, 2nd team All SFL Football I976 Award, MVP-frosh football and basketball, MVP JV basketball, MV offensive back-1976.
