Mr. Harlan Woods 1 Foreword 'gThe most important thing in the Olympic games is not to win but to take part. Just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. This quotation by Pierre de Coubertin, one of the original founders of the Olympics, appeared on the huge lighted score- board on the opening day of the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. The theme of NOlympics l9687' has been chosen by the Annual Staff for this yearbook. This theme is fittingly appropriate in more ways than one. For instance, the above quotation can be applied to the attitude for Mission High School. The most important thing in attending school is not to obtain all the honors and acheivements possible but to partic- ipate. A more familiar paraphrase would be, 'gIt's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the gameff The symbol of the Olympics is the eternal flame. This also could pertain to MHS. A flaming torch is often used to stand for education, as is seen in the National Honor Society emblem. Behind the extracurricular activities, sports and other areas of competition, the basic principle and goal of the school is education. This seems to be a statement of the obviousg even so it illustrates the parallel between the torch of educa- tion and the Olympic torch. Another symbol of c'Los Juegos Olimpicosn is the five intertwined circles. Containing all the different colors of the flags of the world, these circles symbolize the unity or intertwining of all the countries. As the theme of the yearbook and the engraving on the cover, this ensignia also stands for unity in MHS. ln the 1968 Annual all the activities of the year are brought together, remembered and 'iunitedf' Different as each of the activities may be they all go together to make up one of the greatest years ever at MHS. 2 T he .aa fi ..v 5.37: gf' 1!fL.,5g.,s,5t, 5,515 v P new-WMM .M Zee' VW .

Stu- dents attend classes in the morning and work in business places in the afternoon, averaging 15 hours of work each week. They are paid for this work, usually at the rate of 51 an hour. A VOE class is held each morning with lVlrs. JoAnne Morrow as instructor. She tries to coordinate her program so as to give the stu- dents training in the classroom for what they are doing in the respective jobs. There is more than 310,000 worth of office equipment in the classroom where the students taking VOE learn how to use the various machines. Cooperation between thc downtown merchants and the school has made the VOE program a big success to date. 2 - l Iglesia, Mrs. JoAnne Morrow, sponsor, and Pete Luna. 57 MH Librarians Encourage Readi ng Purpose ol' the Library Club is to encourage reading and the pursuit of knowledge in Mission High School. The students interested in this organ- ization come in contact with all areas of library work. Some of the activ- ities of the Library Club include going to area and state conventions, sponsor a book fair each year during open house, and assist the high school librarians in the MHS Library. A librarian's duty is to also help students find the type of book they are looking for. They keep books repaired, in order, help check them out and in, and must be acquainted with the classification of different types of books as they are placed on the shelves. Club members must also learn to catalogue magazines and cards. Mrs. Patricia Johnson and Mrs. Johnnie Wright are club sponsors and there are approximately 40 members in the club. Members of the Library Club are left to iight front row Lucilla Garcia, Martha Gonzalez, Alma Rosa Reyna, Estella de Leon, Dalia Rivera, Irma Trevino, Aida Ramirez, San Juanita Sanchez, Ruth Jimenez, Margie Jimenez, Lydia Gonzalez, and Soila Rodriguez.

Well qualified in their work, 29 out of the 32 office girls have had previous experience. Their plirnary concern is answering the needs of the high school office, which involves many duties. Picking up absentee slips is perhaps the best known job of the office girl. The absentee slips are very important in keeping an accurate attendance record. Another important duty is answering the telephone. The office girl must know where everything ,from paper clips and stencils to student registration slips can be found. Every student must have his grades recorded in a cumulative record for later reference.

A volunteer organization, the 40 active members serve without pay in various eapae- ities at the hospital. They are divided into groups of two or three and work on different days of the week. There are girls assisting at the hospital eaeh afternoon and all day Saturday and Sunday. The Candystripers handle all the details that regular nurses do not have time to do. They pass out dinner trays to patients, get food lists from the cook and see that each patient gets only what the doctor has ordered him to get. This frees the nurses for more important jobs.

After sharing the district championship in 1967, the lllagles watched Donna advance to the state playoffs. ln 1968, it was a different story as Mission and Weslaco tied for the title but Mission advanced to the playoffs by defeating Weslaco, 7-6. The overall season record was 7-2-1 with a spot in the state 3-A playoffs. In bi-district play, Mission smashed East Central of San Antonio, 34-0, and met Refugio in the state quarter- finals.

Dedicated men and women who administer the duties of the school program spend many hours each week in seeing that the youth of Mission get the best education avail- able. The School Board is made up of men who are successful in their own businesses and who have made the big business of operating the Mission Independent School District just as successful. The big task of seeing that the schools function properly falls on the broad shoulders of a dedicated, hard-working superintendent and he is surrounded by capable men and women who get the job done effi- ciently and expertly. Each member of the Administrative Staff is respon- sible for an important part of the overall operation and each gets his job done. Mr. Kenneth White is completing his Supt. White served ashigh school principal fourth year as superintendent of schools for six years prior to taking over as for the Mission Independent School Dis- superintendent. trict.

The leadership provided by the school's principals, counselor and other administrative assistants is mainly responsible for this showing. Mr. Bill Groogan, high school principal, is completing his fourth year as principal, while Mr. Ray Myers has been here for the past years. Both are well liked and re- spected by the 1,200 students who make up the student body of MHS. Others on the administrative staff are Mr. Clarence Mayes, counselor, Mrs. Ollie O7Grady, school nurse, Mrs. Maijory Wright, office secretary, and Arcelia Gonzalez, office aide.

This depart- ment is dedicated to instructing the students so that they may be able to express their own thoughts concisely and that they may readily under- stand both the written and spoken word. The main objectives are to develop an appreciation of, and respect for, literature and to intro- duce the student to writing and research techniques. There are three English levels in each grade. Every student in Mission High School is involved in some phase of the Lan- guage Arts program. Mrs. Annie Laurie Wolfrum, senior English instructor, heads this department.

The main objective in journalism is to teach the student the mechanics of newspaper work so that he can better under- stand what goes into publication of a paper and be able to put to use what he learns. In enriched sections, an attempt is made to provide depth and to broaden the offering. The main objective of the speech classes is to provide foundation for further speech activity and experience in all the various phases of spoken English. Art students start with the basic methods and work through the various levels.

Spanish has been a part of the instructional program for many years, but French was added only this past year. There are various levels of Spanish offered. One level is for non-Spanish speaking students who start with the fundamentals of the language and work up. Other levels are for those who speak Spanish as a native language and are offered in varying degrees. A lan- guage lab was added to the program a few years ago and has proved to be a popular method of instruction.

Subjects offered in- clude bookkeeping, general business, shorthand, typing l and typing ll, and a new section added only last year, Vocational Office Education. This enables the student to take a half day of classroom instruction and work in a business downtown for a half day. The purpose of the Business Department is to train students to be successful in their business endeavors and to see that those that choose careers in business are properly prepared when they leave high school. We are glad to see the Business Department growing and are encouraging more and more of our students to further their business knowledge, said Miss Diane Rehfeld. 1 2 5 Social Studi es Covers Many Areas The primary aim of the Social Studies Department is to help stu- dents understand and appreciate their heritage, to love their country, and to create a desire for the student to help his country have an even greater future than the pastf' This is the way Mr. Ted Grinnan, head of the Social Studies Department, defined the goals of the department. World History, American History, Civics, Texas History and World Geography make up an important part of the Mission High School curriculum. The teachers of these subjects are Mr. Grinnan and Mr. Gene Davis, teachers of American History, Mr. Ira Bird, Mrs. Janice Willeford, and Mrs, Jacque Boyd, all teachers in World History.

The department is composed of classes in choir and band. There are approximately 100 students in choir and 300 students in band. The band is under the direction of Mr. Dennis Crane, who is assisted by Mrs. Rebecca Snavely. The MHS choir is directed by Mr. Joaquin Fernandez. Band enables students to gain an appreciation of music through tech- nical skill and mental discipline, combined with social and cultural attributes. The MHS Band and Choir participate in University lnter- scholastic League competition on the regional and state levels. A Christmas program, two spring concerts and appearances in parades are some of the projects of the Band. Mr. Dennis Crane Band B.M., Texas A811 University 1 28 The Music Department of Mission High School includes the marching band. which practices daily for the various events of the year.

If we did not have science-oriented people to constantly fill the jobs left by scientists who have passed away, we would come to a halt and be more or less a backward nation. Science courses are taught as laboratory courses. Concepts, theories, and principles must be re- inforced with practical laboratories to promote maximum understanding. These investigations should be chal- lenging enough to instill in the stu- dents an appreciation of careful and accurate Work. MHS is not trying to put out scientists, but rather to help a student understand himself and prepare him for college. The science courses offer an opportunity for the AV! Wig, student to use all of his or her resources in the process of maturing into a productive citizen. ,f AV ffyfvf y itll Mrs. Vemice Wodrich Biology B.A., M.A., University of Illinois Mr. John Patterson Biology, Physical Science B.A., Baylor University at Mr. Lavem Huber Mr. Bill Gaston Mrs- Margaret Yalverde Physical Science Chemistry, Physics, Advanced Science Physical Science B.S., University of Wisconsin B.S., University of Texas B.S., Pan American College 1 29 M S Girls Learn To Care For Home Vocational Homemaking Education for high school students is designed to prepare individuals for the oc- cupation of making a home. For students going to college, it provides a foundation to prepare for careers in related fields. Homemaking ed- ucation is centered on home activ- ities and relationships which enable an individual to assume her respon- sibilities as a member of a family now and later when she established a home. Homemaking l, ll and lll is offered with the latter providing a program for girls to plan, prepare and be able to serve meals for their family, sharing the responsibilities of living by a budget based on family income. Home and Family Living is designed for students who have had little or no previous instruction' in vocational homemaking education. Mrs. Emma Guerrero Mrs. Nan L.

There are four Shop I classes in MHS this yearg two Shop II classes, one Shop III classg and two Drawing I classes. Mr. Bill lbbotson heads up the Industrial Arts Department, assisted by Dr. Stanley Golden. Each boy buys his own lumber and the work is done with tools and machinery provided by the school. Developed Farming Skills In Ag Mission High School boys with an interest in farming and ranching have every opportunity to learn the use of machinery, tools and good habits of farm operation through the Vocational Agriculture program offered in MHS. There are 31 boys enrolled in Vocational Ag. I, 29 in Vocational Ag. ll, 8 inVocational Ag. III, 13 in Vocational Ag. IV and 2 in the Cooperative Agriculture Training program. The Future Farmers of America is a national organization for students studying vocational agriculture and a local chapter was chartered here in 1946.

Contests are held each year at the district, area and state level and Mission is always high in the final judging. FFA-boys participate in citrus judging, livestock judging, dairy judging, poultry judging, and dairy products. 1 31 Physi cal Educatl on Mm... ws... Kegps Bs., Mfflfilllfrlfiscouege Students Fi Physical Education is a very impor- tant and necessary part of a complete educational program. Men and women must be physically and men- tally able to compete successfully in this day and age. Jobs, positions, body level and every phase of life and well being is determined by how well one competes and to what degree. This spirit of competition is taught in physical education. The carryover into adult life of the knowl- edge and skill of team and individual sports is another asset. But, the most important advantage derived from P.E. is the health factor. The person who makes the most of success in life is the one who can adjust to every situation. The person who can meet people and handle himself in public is a well-rounded person and one who will succeed in the game of life. x Mr. Robert L.

Helps Build Young Adults The welfare of the individual is the guiding principle in planning and executing girls' physical education. The ultimate goal of a physical ed- ucation program is to contribute to the maximum development-- spiritually, mentally, socially and physically--of every individual. While participating in physical education activities, a girl will learn a number of games and activities suitable for adult recreation. The girls participate in such games as volleyball, basket- ball, softball, tennis, dancing, lummi sticks, and tinikling. Physical fitness tests are given to the girls three times during the year to determine the improvement of each individual. During the year the girls compete in tournaments between the classes. These tournaments encourage par- ticipation and competition for the girls and also involve students in activities who are not enrolled in physical education. 133 4 N i x I 1 F I 1 L ' 4-V 1 - L 4 .2 I 5 X K 1 ,fa V f 5 M , , ,Z sf ,J hi YC! neg '4P 'V Senior Class Q an I it MFE' xx We K x X Officers of the 1968-69 Senior Class are Arturo Esquivel, parliamentariang Dora Hemandez, treasurer.
