Behind the glitter of school activities, lies a deeper more vital reason for our being at MHS. The purpose underlieing our broad curriculum is to instill in us a desire for knowledge that will fol- low us through future education, into future ca- reers, and into our everyday lives. ln our search for knowledge the classroom is our laboratory, teachers, our guidesg and our own inquisitiveness, our inspiration. It is this inquisi- tiveness that leads us to seek additional knowledge through outside reading and study, and to explore the uwlhyisn behind principles. We recognized, in plowing through the four year academic program of high school study at MHS, the minute size of our limited information in comparison to the vastness of man's learning. Through our steady progress we soon see the actual proof of the axiom Wllhe desire for knowledge in- creases ever with the acquisition of itf' It is the academic curriculum that shows the worth of a school-its worth in uquenchingv the studentis thirst for knowledge.
