M. H. S. Participates ln Election Because the administration and faculty of M.H.S. know the importance of informed citizens, we students were allowed to partic- ipate first hand in this fall's elections. The history and government classes co-operated in covering the campaign in the classrooms. The highlight of the program occurred on a bright October day, when Moumee's citizens as well as the high school turned out to wel- come Mr. Richard Nixon and his wife who I were then campaigning for the Republican ticket. The student body, preceded by the band, adjourned to Conant Street at the Trail where the terrific job done by the band members was acknowledged by the V.P. who shook hands with Mr. Kiger. Mr. Nixon also talked to many of the l0OO people who came to see him. Certainly we shall long remember the event and appreciate having the opportunity to see our Vice-President. Soon after Mr. and Mrs. Nixon arrived at Toledo Airport, Senior Jim Nelson secured a personal interview with the Republican candidate. l-le noted views on several of the major issues which were then written-up for the Maumee Valley News and our own Static. To climax our participation in the '56 election, we were allowed to con- duct a mock election. Each class registered, established precincts, an elec- tion board, and ballots. Then, on No- vember tion, we also went to the polls and cast our ballots. The final outcome was as follows: Eisenhower -286 O'NeilI Bender Straub 24 6, the day of the national elec- Stevenson - -l lO DiSolle -- .J47 Lausche e-- I 85 Ashley .... 167 ,.---246 . -- ,207 so ,221 lr was a lucky day for Student Council President Sharon Eriksen, who was privileged to present Mrs. Pat Nixon with red roses on behalf of the Maumee Chamber of Commerce.

Physical Education Every day of the week the physical edu- cation classes are in session with boys' classes on Mondays and Thursdays, and girls' classes on Tuesdays and Fridays. Wednesday is co-ed day. Activities include everything from bas- ketball to ping pong. A new addition to the department this year was the trampoline which many students, athletically inclined and otherwise, had a lot of fun trying out. The physical education program is under the supervision of Mr. Conrad and Miss Dinkel. The classes not only give us an op- portunity to exercise ourselves physically, but also give us experience in good sportsmanship and in getting along with others. g i Mr. Clifford Conrad B.S., Bowling Green State University, M.A., Universi- ty of Michigan. li Z M .M U is ,ew W .. it z, W it 5 t ,- t i .f Miss Maryann F.

Our Fellow tudents Maumee High, as an institute of learning, is proud of the intelligence that can be found in the students who walk within the corridors and class- rooms of our Alma Mater. Many of its students excel in the various phases of scholarship that arise during the school year. It is the intent of your yearbook to present a few of these phases to the student body, for in Maumee we achieve success in scholarship as well as the other activities in which we participate. , wwf-x 'Q Q ,ig i J ,Jw Eli, ll ll -., l ,, l Q Q W - ' , 1 E - .
