Jeannie's future plans included attending a iunior college, taking courses in secretarial skills, finding a iob, and then settling down to marry. Among Jeannie's interests were water skiing, sewing, swimming, gymnastics, and camping. Jeannie felt that she accomplished many things during her four years at MHS. She was glad she met many good friends and teachers. Jeannie's cheerleading and gymnastic abilities showed her to be active in a very important facet of school activities. Lon Hatamiya's involvement in student government, athletics, and academics led him on to the title of Mr. TOMAHAWK. Lon planned to go on to a four year university, either Princeton University, Stanford, or the University of California at Berkeley. His ultimate goal in life was to receive the best education possible and to accomplish any other self-set goals. Lon felt that MHS provided him with an excellent all-round education, and he believed that MHS could be enormously improved with better facilities, more school pride, and a better community image. Lon's interests included participation in student government and in football, basketball, baseball, and track. Lon felt that his extensive involvement allowed him to broaden his accomplishments and experiences by working with fellow students, faculty, and administration. TOMAHAWK maidens were Vicki Hill and Nancy Peterson. Vicki planned to attend Chico State University and maior as a private gymnastics instructor. She felt she achieved her set goals while at MHS by her involvement in sports and academics, and she hoped to obtain the goals she set for her future for the satisfaction of her and her parents. Nancy looked forward to attending the University of California at Davis in hopes of becoming a doctor. She showed her love for gymnastics and student government by participation in both. She thought girls' sports should be given more attention, and that students should become more involved in clubs and student government. The elected TOMAHAWK braves were Ted Melden and Jim Givens. Ted intended to work for a year at McDonalds after graduating before attending a college to obtain a Fire Science Degree. Ted felt he met all different kinds of people at MHS, and believed this fact would help him in his future iob as a fireman. His interests included water and snow skiing, hiking, and camping. Ted wanted to see the educational standards at MHS brought up for incoming students. Jim planned to further his education at Arizona State University. His interests centered mainly around football and baseball. . . and girls! Being a standout in both baseball and football, Jim was recognized as the i976 All League Player. Jim felt that he had accomplished the goals that he had set for himself during his four year stay at MHS. l.

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.
