M. E. STEELE l Principal lfllf' .lac 8725 IAQ 80,0 Q Believe iT or noT! This amazing TacT has been discovered aT MT-TS in The school monThs oT 47 and 'l48l'. This was discovered by The sTudenTs and noT by Ripley and is here being released Tor publicaTion Tor The TirsT Time. In This school year There has been a closer and more inTimaTe undersTanding beTween The TaculTy and sTudenTs. The duTies OT The TaculTy weren'T enTirely devoTed To assignmenTs, TesTs, and home- work. ln The long hours spenT on exTra-curricular acTiviTies, Tor insTance, a sTudenT oTTen geTs To know The Teacher as a person and To see him ouT oT The classroom siTuaTion. The Teachers ioined in The assembly programs wiTh The sTudenTs To produce some Tine perTorm- ances. The TaculTy men parTicipaTed in Two hilarious beneTiT games, one wiTh The all-girl Team, The Red- heads, and The oTher, The annual Old-Timers game. One oT The mosT enjoyable evenTs oT The year was The assembly The TaculTy puT on as a pep session be- Tore The PrinceTon game. lT was a skiT OT a mock Tuneral Tor The PrinceTon sguad, wiTh Owen Madden giving The oraTion lall apologies To Mark AnThonyl. An eTTigy oT The opponenT was carried To The sTage by Tour oT The TaculTy llmuscle men in a - and you'll pardon The expression - reTrigeraTor box. Dressed in appropriaTe gowns oT black, The enTire TaculTy mourned The Terrible loss. Every member oT The TaculTy Took parT in This serious aTTair and played The parTs wonderTully. They kepT The sTudenT body in laughs all The way Through and iT will al- ways be an occasion ThaT The graduaTing class will look back To wiTh Tond memories. Mr. Bryson added a Touch oT The Service To sTudy hall wiTh his Army slang such as Hknock iT oTT . Many oT The TaculTy members ThaT were in The Service enTerTained Their classes wiTh TirsT hand in- TormaTion on The war. Mr. MaunTel relaTed quiTe a Tew oT his experiences To The U.S. l-lisTory classes while Mr. Morris Thrilled The agriculTure sTudenTs wiTh his Tales. Coach Lewis also broughT back his liTTle biT Trom The Service - Army calisThenics. The Teachers' humor in class and Their abiliTy To Take a joke, even if iT is on Them: All These Things add up To The TacT ThaT Teachers are really human and are people, iusT like us aTTer all. IT is These Things ThaT all seniors will remember aTTer gradua- Tion besides The knowledge ThaT The Teachers have imparTed To Them. They will recall noT only whaT They have TauqhT buT Their personaliTies as well. Ml-TS has one OT The TinesT school sysTems and TaculTies in The sTaTe.
