Administration Lasting Impression Leading The Way For MHS. How did you feel when you came to MHS for the first time? You may find this question easy to answer. but how do you think Principal Marilyn Hendrix felt her first time at MHS? Mrs. Hendrix came from Hill- crest High in 1973. It was the school's opening in 1973 and Mrs. Hendrix was appointed the school's first principal. She was under a lot of pressure because she had never been principal. It was a new school, and even more impor- tantly, she was the first female principal in Greenville County. Mrs. Hendrix said, I wanted the challenge. Of course I was scared, but the opportunity was so great. I had a lot of decisions to make such as the school mascot and colors, courses to offer, and I had to hire a staff. Even though Mrs. Hendrix had the odds stacked against her, she prevailed over them to bring MHS to what it is today A MODEL FOR THE NATION. Gregg Wyatt 4 .v. 4--pa ffl ff' is No Hank Pank . Vlrs.

How true this was at the beginning of the year but to- ward the middle and the end of the year a freshman was not a beginner. Instead this novice became a seasoned student of high school life. A freshman was an indi- vidual who experienced a whole range of emotions from excitement to total in- security. This type of stu- dent entered a whole new as- pect of life. With this new part of life came more re- sponsibility and freedom. Expanding knowledge was an important part of the freshman year because the future rides on how produc- tive one can be in high Just hanging around.

Learning how to write great essays how to take exams and take good notes were just a few things learned by freshman. Even though expanding intellect was an important part of high school, social life started to play a larger part during the freshman year. Going to sports events, be- coming a member of a club and just down right partying were just some of the things which crossed the freshmen's mind. Being a freshman was a temporary state of mind which all people must en- counter and endure in their lives. Leif Busby said, Al- though it sometimes seemed painful, being a freshman was very exciting. I will probably look upon it as one of my best years. Gregg Wyatt Freshmen
