We are happy that we had a chance to put together a yearbook that will bring back memories to former students of MHS. During the past fifty years, the enrollment of the school has grown from a small handful to well over six hundred students. The faculty has increased to thirty-six members, and a ileet of buses brings students from surrounding areas to school each day. Our class of '61 consists of 138 students. As we spend our final days at MHS, we look back at the accom- plishments attained by former classes, During our four years of high school, we enjoyed many sports, organizations, and extra-curricular activities that were made possible because foregoing classes felt a de- sire to add to the betterment of their school. Our class has also created new organizations and activities for coming classes to enjoy, Through the years there have been outstanding individuals who attended MHS. Perhaps our class will add more names to this group, and, when the Atodnem celebrates its centennial edition, it will commem- orate the Class of '61 for producing note-worthy men and Women. Another commencement exercise is fast approaching . At the present, we are faced with many crossroads from which to choose a way of life. As in the past, some of us will attend college, some will enter the serv- ice, some will train for a business career, others will engage in farming, and, eventually, the greater per cent of us will marry and establish homes. Each of us hopes to achieve success-success in our personal dreams and ambitions. We Wish to thank the preceding classes for the examples they have given to us, We have learned from their experiences, and we hope that future classes will profit from our experiences. li is our Wish that the next fifty years be as rewarding as the past fifty years have proved to be tor all the classes involved.
