Dance team adds to new school spirit MPHS's boom in school spirit has to be credited in part to the enthusiastic performances of the Dance Team. Throughout the school year the group gave entertaining routines. During the fall they performed at half time of all home football games and in the winter they danced at several boys and girls basketball games. In addition they participated in the Harvest Festival Parade and at the Coos County Fair Parade. This, by far, was the most active Dance Team in recent history. Dance Team advisor, Mrs. Carol Roush, pointed out that as members the girls spent many nights a week practicing for performances. Their dedication to the team was above and beyond the call of duty. 1. Karen Morin, Nancy Barkley, and Dee Dee Dollarhyde participated in the Harvest Festival Parade as a troupe of traveling clowns. 2. Dancing to a small but watchful crowd are Karen, Marni, Cheryl, Dee Dee, and Marilyn. 3. Team members included: Karen Morin, Marni Lovell, Cheryl Williams, Dee Dee Dollarhyde, Marilyn Glimberg and Dee Dee Ellis.

Spirit echoes throughout MPHS halls Reverberations of a renewed school spirit echoed throughout the MPHS halls as attitude and pride continued its current upswing. Increased game attendance, enthusiasm at assemblies, special school spirit projects, and added student participation combined to create an atmosphere almost forgotten in recent years. The football and basketball rally members made their contribution to the spirit boom as they promoted the Pep Pals and the Blue Section at athletic events. The freshman class added an important ingredient to the new delight as they led the school with enthusiasm at pep assemblies and in spirit contests. 1. Varsity Rally members Doris Johnson, Janet Bachmeier and Renee Dickey perform a skit during a pep rally prior to an important basketball game. 2. Mr. Marc Mauze found donkey basketball to be more challenging than he thought as he attempts a basket. 3.
