Caring and Shanng With One Another One of the many events experienced by stu- dents this year was either holding a job or try- ing to find one. IVlost agreed it was a long but necessary task. Many students said that school was made more difficult by holding a job, but they disagreed as to whether teachers realized this. Opinions also varied as to the cooperation of employers. Some commented that their em- ployers would let them off work whenever they needed, while others complained of no time off. But then, the students ' lives outside school was not all work. Dating was very popular and many couples frequented the local concerts, while others chose to make their own fun. A familiar trek was out to various graveyards in the area. Many students went to the movies on their dates, while some occasionally went out to expensive restaurants or ate by candlelight in the basement. Some of the dates turned into more lasting relationships, as several couples said their wed- ding vows during the 72-73 school year. Because of the many activities available to area students, they were able to share experi- ences. By sharing things, couples discovered that by themselves they found solitude and to- gether found joy. WHILE PETTING THEIR CAT, Mary Tevault and her fiance discuss their plans for their new life together. JUNIORS JIM SCHRADER and Kristy Kent rest against a wheel while shopping at 100 Center.

Involvement Comes From Winter World CHURCH-SPONSORED YOUTH GROUPS, representing a variety of faiths, drew a large number of MHS ' ers to their ranks this year. Age or class proved to be no barrier, as students of all kinds became interested in these groups and their activities. Those who became involved participated in activities ranging from hayrides to bake sales to trick or treating for UNICEF. A service performed by several was the decora- tion of the area churches for Christmas. iVIany groups also participated actively in the planning of weekly services. In spite of their i nvolvement in church and school, MHS ' ers still found time to enjoy the beauty of winter. IViost welcomed the snow season with open arms, in spite of the slippery roads and the mounds of snow to be shoveled. Sources of pleasure for many were the simpler elements of winter: sledding, building snow- men, throwing snowballs, and walking quietly through the snow-covered woods and fields. Snowmobiling also enabled students to com- municate with nature and to do their own thing. Throughout the season, each student found his or her own special way to react to the whiteness surrounding all. LISTENING TO Jesus Christ, Superstar, Dave Parks ponders over the words to the song.
