Make It Or Break It ALL IN yClJE Hi AN IDS NCW (continued from page 2) The old system just wasn ' t working so now Dr. James Rice is a new assistant principal and Mr. James Bawden is Assis- tant Principal of Pupil Personnel. Maybe he can help you with your schedule. Yes, I would be very interested in studying the molecular structure of man. Uh ... I think you mean biology. Come to think of it, maybe I should show you around some more before you talk to either Dr. Hertz or Mr. Baw- den. You just do not seem to have caught on yet, Zack. Where did you say you came from? Hunlianponminkuthpumkinonian. Hungarian, Huh? All right, but be sure to pay attention now. This is the chemistry lab and then this— Wait. Danger, I believe we should seek refuge. Red-and-white humanoids seem to be attacking. Run Red and white? Oh, you mean all of those Drill Team girls. Zack, those are just pom-pons they ' re carrying— not se- cret weapons. Stop beeping at them for heavens sakes. Actually, there are not even so many of them— only 28. Gosh, I guess they have been breaking traditions too. Last year there were 44 girls. Are you confident this is not an in- vasion? The corridors are becoming quite congested. Zack, kids are just going to their classes, but it ' s still early yet. Just wait until all 1770 students get here! Now come on. We have to walk through the fieldhouse to get to the South Building. Fieldhouse? Sure, you know. Physical Education classes are held there— and basketball games . . . and track meets and .... Well, you will see. Those boys and girls over there playing volleyball are in PE now. Hey, isn ' t that a real change?— Co-ed classes! They are even learning more practical skills like bowling, tennis and golf. What do you think of that, Zack? Beep. Deep hoop-de-hoop. Hoop? Oh, you like basketball? People really know MHS for its reputa- tion in sports. We have teams placing in State finals, individuals selected for State teams and even two students who have won the Indiana High School Athletic Association Mental Attitude Awards. It ' s like winning has become a tradition. And, like I said, what it comes down to is that you must Make It Or Break It. Such as when aiming for an inter- galactic target? Bullseye! I think you ' re catching on. But you know, we don ' t just compete in sports. Don ' t forget organizations like Speech and Debate and Chess Club. They also represent the school and have a reputation to live up to. It ' s all up to them. Even new groups like Spanish Club really have to work to be able to say they have made it. Besides the organizations, even each student has to at some time take on the attitude that he must either make it or break it. Whether striving for a grade in a certain class or trying out for the fall play, whatever happens, he knows that it all just depends on him. Well, Zack, here ' s the cafeteria. We have to whisper now. Study hall meets here, and unlike other years, now you can ' t talk. See how quiet it is— now that ' s a real change. You can even hear the morning announcements. ATTENTION. THERE WILL BE A PRIDE COMMITT EE MEETING TODAY IN ROOM 2. A meeting? You know, Zack, it ' s a shame, but that ' s the only meeting that has been called since Homecoming. Like the other changes in the school, Student Government tried breaking the old ways for an improvement. Well, no one seems to feel that forming a Pride Committee and Class Executive Counsel was enough. Sometimes just a change isn ' t enough to make it. Understand, Zack? I am developing an awareness. Uh . . . good. Well, then here ' s the South Office. They will get you your schedule and everything that you ' ll need. I have to get to class so . . . it ' s all in your hands now. Very well. I will venture out into this galaxy on my own and test for myself your philosophy. I shall store it in my memory bank. Beeeeppp Beeppp. MAKE IT OR BREAK IT.
