The Things We Remember Most. . . When we reflect upon 1985 and the beginning of 1986, we see a wide variety of things that caught our interests. Along with the traditional dances held each year, we remember the not-so-traditional dances of 1985-86 and the fashion trends that came with them. Whether the trends or dances were traditional or not, they hold in our minds a very special spot. Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins and Winter Festival came and went this year with themes with which we are all familiar. Homecoming was the first official dance of the year ; Sadie Hawkins was “the night when the girls took the initiative and Winter Festival was a time to celebrate the chilly weather associated with basketball. These dances have traditionally been a part of MCHS and students await them each year with great anticipation. The more spontaneous and spectacular of the dances we remember are sometimes those that just happen. The dances sponsored by various clubs each year give students a chance to show off the fashions of our time. Some of the more fashionable get togethers in 1985 were the Halloween Dance, the Ultimate Jam '85, and the Christmas Ball. Were the outfits we saw at these dances really of our time? This year we saw the revival of the stirrup pants that were so very popular in the sixties and last year's rebirth of the mini skirt is still going strong as well as “the over-sized look. So we see at each of these dances that the fashions or fads of our time almost always were the fashions and fads of some previous time. Likely, just as the dances come and go each year, so will the fads. 18 reflections

t PARTICIPATION There are many things that the students and faculty alike will remember about MCHS. Most of the reflections will Q spawn from general activities, clubs, and senior activities. These ties of participation hold a very important place in growing up; for our high school activities are remembered forever. First, reflected upon are those activities that happen only once a year. Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, and the other dances stir very much excitement around the school each year. The football players make their choice for homecoming queen and the basketball players choose the winter festival queen.
