Winter Festival The festivities of Winter Festival week were concluded with the presentation of the court and the crowning of the Queen. The ceremony took place in the gymnasium between the girls’ and boys’ basketball games on Friday, February 14, 1986. Four seniors, three juniors, and two sophomores were escorted onto the floor and presented to the public. The highlight of the ceremony was the announcement by the master of ceremonies: “And the 1986 Winter Festival Queen is . . . Sybil Ransom.” Then the gymnasium was filled with applause as one of the major events of the season was brought to a close. Top: WINTER FESTIVAL COCIRT — Levita Hampton. Danishea Barton.

Trojans Use Their Talents The various activities and honors at Millington give students not only school pride, but pride in themselves as well. Many of the students involved in these extra benefits have gained greater understanding of their own capabilities and limitations. There is a kaleidoscope of activities that shine forth year after year at MCHS. Among these activities are the theatre department, band, choir, ROTC, the talent show, and Miss Millington. The theatre department annually presents a musical production and is also involved with speech and debate. There are several bands included in the MCHS band program. These include marching band, concert band, and stage band. The Veteran’s Day parade and the Ole Miss Drill Competition are two activities that the MCHS ROTC program participate in. The talent show is sponsored every year at MCHS by the yearbook staff, and the winners move on to competition at the Mid-South Fair Talent Show. The Miss Millington pageant is another annual event that many students participate in. The various honors at MCHS are closely related to the academic prowess of the student. The Student Council and Principal's Advisory Committee are respected students at MCHS. These student government organizations are made up of students who are elected by their classes. The Student Council members spend homeroom each morning coordinating various school activities and the Principal's Advisory committee meets periodically with Mr. Morton to discuss student reactions to school policy. Arete is another honor organization at MCHS. Students who have received an academic letter are named to this organization. The students in two activities at MCHS spend the entire school year trying to capture the moments that mean the most to each student. The yearbook staff and the Trojan newspaper staff meet fifth period each day and strive to bring MCHS what it wants. Many of the students involved with these publications go on to become members of Quill and Scroll, a literary honor society. There about 1500 students at Millington and all of them have a special role to play in making it the best school in the county. The opportunities for success at MCHS are immense because of the variety of extracurricular activities and honor organizations. The students who have talent can certainly put it to use here. 28 activities and honors
