upid Strikes Again .-'z'-we-f. 'Q-'W 4' -,. rr . Valentine's Day is a time for love. According to legend, this holiday was brought about by St. Valentine, an early Christian who made friends with the children. He was imprisoned by the Romans because he refused to worship their Gods. The children missed Valentine so much that they tossed him loving notes between the bars of his cell window, thus starting the tradition of sending valentine cards to loved ones. M.H.S. students had a variety of ways of showing their feelings to their loved ones. Kevin Nelson commented that a kiss from that special someone would be all right. Tina Phelps wanted a ring, but adds that love was the best thing to give. Karen Crawford slightly grinned and commented her gift isn't printable. When asked what's the best thing about Valentine's Day, Scott Weber and Brian Coleman gladly replied, Partying! Students weren't the only people interested in this holiday. Art teacher Ms. Anne Richbourg thought of valentines Day as a time to receive flowers and as a gift, something arty would be nice. English teacher Mrs. Martha Baker believed this day brings out all the positive aspects of peoples relationships. As for a perfect gift, she insisted a diamond dinner ring will do.

Many students felt that schoolwork took up all of their free time but some students filled their free time with outside involvement. Activities included the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Dale Carnegie Courses, Greenville County Youth Orchestra, Carolina Youth Symphony and Junior Achievement. Some people said that scouting is like a game, and like all games, it has rules to follow to be a member. A true scout is one that follows all the rules. Another organization was Junior Achievement UAJ Only high school students were permitted to participate in JA. The students met once a week, for fifteen weeks, to organize and run their own company. As a result of participation in JA, many students received individual awards and scholarships, but the student had to earn these awards. Two groups that accepted musically talented students were the Greenville County Youth Orchestra QGCYOJ and the Carolina Youth Symphony CCYSJ. Membership into these musical programs was through audition only. The GCYO was for students who were involved in the music program offered by the Greenville County School District, but CYS was opened to anyone who wanted to audition. CYS offered young people weekly full orchestra rehearsals, under the direction of Dr. Robert Chesebro. It also offered sectional and individual coaching. All the hard work paid off when the students performed successful concerts in the fall and spring. Each of these activities took up a lot of time and required hard work but the students participated because they enjoyed them. Ellen Stevens Did you hurt yourself?
