4fy Through the years we go to games, get dressed up, and satisfy our appetites, but this year there were some new twists. The Board of Education footed the bill for our bus trips to away basketball games; the Bermuda shorts craze among boys and girls raised eye- brows and cuffs; homemade punch, cake, and cookies were served at parties.

pa%e AO ict The ' 55 Derrick . . . based upon the many memories of the school year . . . put together for the purpose of bring- ing back those memories in later years. Your first day in school . . . just a scared kid out of seventh grade. The time you got called into the principal ' s of- fice for throwing snow- balls. The six notes you got from that cute blonde that lockers across the hall. The hilarious shouts of victory . . . the bitter gloom of defeat at the athletic arenas. The time you almost blew the north wall off the chemistry lab. The test that felt like an F when you were writing it. The small brown peanut you had to push the length of the lower hall with your nose to get into that club with all the wheels . . . and how surprised you were when you found out it was worth it. Your first Y-Teen Prom. Your last Senior Prom. Graduation. When the events of your high school days grow dim and appear to drop out of focus, the MPHS yearbook staff hopes you can refresh your memory by leafing through the pages of the 1955 Derrick and there find the friends who shared . . . and helped make the start of a memory.
