In Dedication to Our Parents On behalf of the 197172 graduating class of Madison High School, we, the members of the Mahisco Staff, wish to dedicate this yearbook to our parents. We honor you for your guidance, love, encour- agement, thoughtfulness, and generosity through the years. You, our parents, have done your part; we realize it is now our turn. We accept the challenge! 20 M.H.S. Homecoming 1971 Crackling, roaring flames create a relaxing Cheerleaders Ruth Wimberly, Barbara Waller, Frances atmosphere for Wayne Bottomley. the line to the bonfire from Main Street. 22 Trying not to drop the lifesaver, Ramona and Tim pass it down the line! 'Express Yourself Exhausted, but spirited students were seen on campus Homecoming Week 1971. The entire week was jammed with activities. Goofy hats were on the heads of all the kids as a result of Hat day. The parking lot was the setting for a Sadie Hawkins dance. Mu- sic was furnished by the local radio station. Nearly everyone participated in or was a spectator at Field Day. Sticky, splattered faces and twisted ankles were results from the egg throw and sack races. The traditi- onal burning of the ''Trojan brought many jubilant cheers from the crowd at the bonfire in the bowl . Hard work paid off as the colorful and exciting parade was viewed by hundreds of people. Clubs and classes en- tered clever and attractive floats and cars. The Sophomore class placed first, the Se- nior Class was second place winner, and the Junior class came in third. Wrapping the week up were the football game and dance. Langston, Mary F. Hill and mascot Ann Vickers lead Classes Are Well Represented Representing the Senior Class was Danatta Andrews. Eleventh graders wisely chose Patricia Herring to represent them. All eyes were upon the Homecoming Queen and her court at an outstanding Coro- nation ceremony held in the gym. Students applauded as Gene Rutherford crowned the seventeen year old senior, Cathy Shadrick, Homecoming Queen of 1971. Frank Mercer, student body president, presided as Master of Ceremonies at the Coronation. Cheer- leaders entertained the queen and court as well as spectators with an array of cheers. Tradition was broken in selecting the queen this year. The Varsity Football Team nominated five senior girls. The girls were then placed on a ballot and voted on by the student body. The victor, Cathy Shadrick, was an exceptional bearer of the crown. Sophomores voted Pearlie Thomas to be their representative. 25 Students and Teachers Jeans day is fully displayed by Renee' McKinney and Mary Lauria.

Sunshine appeared at M.H.S. early one Monday Morning by the presence of a rock band called Free Fare. They provided the students with a class period of entertainment which was centered around gags, games and popular music. The students listened atten- tively as one member of the band gave a serious speech on life, its problems, and the future. He concluded his speech by saying, You’re not what you think you are but what you think. The appealing preview caused many students to return the following night to see another show. Effective lighting and hilarious comedy skits left the audience with a sunny glow. An opportunity was given at the end of the show for the students to rap with the performers. In closing, records and posters were purchased by a number of in- stant fans. Young Americans create fun. Junior-Senior Play In the war of love, Danatta loses. Fran and Sharon confer about their different roles in the play. Up The Down Staircase Bel Kaufman's comedy Up the Down Staircase has been described by one critic as ... the kind of 'funny' that hurts. It concerns Sylvia Barrett, a young attractive teacher on the threshold of her career in a large New York City High school. Sylvia soon finds herself in trouble, trying to defend an extremely hostile young man who is on the verge of dropping out of school. She becomes involved in the start of a romance, a near war with a dis- cipline-over-everything administrator ... in the unexpected, sometimes heartbreaking, but more often outrageously funny problemeof her students. 29 Principal Jackson raps with teacher. North Florida Junior College Adult Center Offers Training In Vocational Areas For Interested Stu- dents The modern Adult Center is situated on a beatiful land site overlooking a lake. Many M.H.S. students participated in the vo- cational training programs offered by North Florida Junior College's Adult Center this year. The sub- ject available were drafting, electronics, service station attendant training, cosmotology, vocational office education, automotive mechanics, and brick and block laying. When the students had completed their chosen subject, they found themselves with outstanding opportunities for employment in the various fields related to their learned skills. Em- ployment opportunities included such positions as engineers, electronic repair shop owners, service station attendants, beauticians, stenographers, me- chanics, and brick masons. The courses were taught by very capable, highly skilled, and dedicated instructors. 30 Drafting is a derivative of man's original picture language. M.H.S. students who participated in the drafting program at N.V.J.C.'s Adult Center bene- fited themselves by increasing their chances of em- ployment in the fields of engineering and design. Ninety percent of the drafting students' classroom activity involved the study and actual making of simulated drawingslike those used in industry. Upon completion of the course, students found themselves with the opportunity to even become an engineer without four years of college. The course, taught by Mr. Charles Swain, proved to be informa- tive and worthwhile. Proving that drafting has a place for girls too is Lolieta Driggers. With lots of interesting work to do, Glen is always found busy. Drafting student, Glen Woodard, is learning that measurements must be precise. 31 Service station students are truly learning through experience. Connie Chandler is showing Sherri Browning how to operate a Dictaphone in V.O.E. A new technique for applying mascara is being tested by Cosmotology students Venus Blanton and Patricia Brown. Make-up application is an essential: 32 Service Station Operation, Vocational Office Edu- cation, Cosmetology, Electronics Courses Pre- pare Students For Future Jobs Using his skills developed in electronics, Milo Rhude is testing for weak tubes. Service station operation, taught by Mr. J. Carlton Wells, was a program designed to teach stu- dents how to be a good service station attendant by discussings such essentials as salesmanship, and cus- tomer-attendant relationships. They also learned the basics of proper car care, pump island service, tire service, car lubrication, brakes, oil changes, and tune-ups. V.O.E. students learned bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, filing, office machinery, clerical practice, business math, and business English. The course, taught by Miss Helen Zaynor, achieved its aim of preparing students for positions as stenographers, clerks, and clerk typist. Cosmotology, taught by Mrs. Mary M. Smith and Mr. William W. Smith, was designed to teach stu- dents all the services normally done in a beauty salon. After completing 1200 clock flours of theory and prac- tice on each oktner and manicans, the students took the state board exam to get their license as beauty operators. Electronics was divided into three courses: indus- trial electronics, radio and t.v. repair, and appliance repair. Students learned through theory and practical experience. The course, taught by Mr. D. R. Walton, prepared students for work in electronics at hospitals, factories, and communities. 33 Magazine Sales Help Junior Class Funds Many junior class members were ringing doorbells and giving sales talks in promoting the annual maga- zine drive. Prizes were greatly improved this year. This important project netted about $1000; this fur- nished ample money for decorations and entertain- ment of the seniors and faculty at the Junior Senior Prom in April. Much excitement was generated when the coveted rings were ordered. Many new styles of dinner rings were available. Six new styles were introduced; some with birthstones and initials, zodiac signs, and shapes such as oval, and square. Plain standard styles were offered. Juniors had a very exciting and productive year. Required courses were being finished, rings worn, prom enjoyed, and a forward look to the last year- seniors. Cheryl Thomas shows her technique. Mama King congratulates high saleswoman, Mary Frances Hill. 34 Christmas Spirit Climbs The Walls A better message isn't feasible. Halls and walls reflected cheerful Christmas spirit and carried religious messages this year. Trees were trimmed and bulletin boards looked beautiful as they brought everyone closer together. Organizations and teachers were responsible for the holiday atmosphere. Developing the decorations helped to slow down the student body, faculty, and total personnel for that wonderful pause so necessary for a proper ob- servance of Christmas. This was made even more certain because the radiancy caused by the decora- tions was a cooperative venture. Central, was the word Peace . Mrs. Morros tops the tree with a star. Beta Club sends this greeting. 35 Weirdos From The Future Present 1972 Sr. Follies Many talented students presented an audience with a wild and thrilling as well as spectacular Senior Follies show this year. Rehearsals were a bit nerve- racking, but as the saying goes, Hard work pays off' 2072 was the theme, and many hard working hours were spent in making effective decorations to illuminize the atmosphere. Performances included singing of popular songs, ballet and tap dancing, modern jazz dancing, comedy songs, skits, and piano playing. Introducing the talents were Gene DuRant and Lisa Browning. Prizes were given to the best performers in the amounts of 15.00, 10.00 and 5.00 dollars. All participants were recieved well by the audience and enjoyed being a part of the Senior Follies this year of 1972! Dancing talent? Becky has it! You Name It — They Did It!!!

Madison Cougar Football Team for 1971 finished the season with a 4-4-2 record. Our best showing was in the home games. The lost games were by a margin of 13 points. Conversion of die extra points on ties proved costly. Cougars had excellent defensive play throughout the season, but were unable to achieve that unity and teamwork to give offensive power. Our opponents scored 80 points, an average of 8.8 points per game. However, we were inconsistent in moving die ball. The season may remind coaches and players of performances that did not reach the potential of our ability. Somewhat disappointed diough we are, we must recall that we had excellent play from individuals, and that performance greatly increased over last year. 47 Leon Givens picks up those needed yards against Jasper.

B-Team Clashes Prove to he Best Ever Junior varsity football team ended the season with a 3-3-1 record. Wins included defeating Jasper twice and Monticello once, with losses to Live Oak twice and Perry once. The second game, with Perry ended in a tie. This was the best finish for a junior varsity squad in many years at Madison. The high- light of the season was beating Monticello in their last game, ending their 15 game winning streak. Being blessed with many dedicated players led to an enjoyable season. 49 Varsity Basketball Confronted ROW ONE: Wayne Brown, Alfonso Frazier, Billy Adams, Steve Siplin, Willie Nicholson and Leroy Jackson. ROW TWO: Kenny Williams, James Aikens, Robert Aikens, Tommy Brinson, Rusty Newsome and Coach Dennis Fike. The 71-72 varsity basketball season saw moments of elation and heart breaks for Coach Dennis Fike. Cougars met many strong opponents some of which were Rickards. Lake City, Santa Fe and Live Oak. Although the season seemed to be one of the more unsuccessful ones, our team represented the school proudly and fairly. The record of the team is a somewhat unimpressive one but this is by no means a a true measure of their ability. It was that kind of season and all were faced with a challenge. After all its not whether you win or lose but how you play the game, and if our ability is measured by this then we're winners all the way. Fighting hard for the tip is Leroy Jackson (44). By Rough 71-72 Schedule Number 44 Leroy Jackson breaks for the basket. Wayne Brown shoots for two. 51 Junior Varsity Cougars FRONT ROW; James Hutchinson. Jimmy Chamberlin, SECOND ROW: Coach Christmas, A. C. Aikens, Leon Macarages, Clyde Day, Fredrick Davis. Freeman Mobley, Jerry Davis, Mike Rowell, Scanlon McCain. This past season the junior varsity played good ball after the Christmas break, but their first three games were massacres because the boys hadn't really found out how to work together as a team. Beginning with Monticello, the teams were evenly matched except for Rickards and Bucholoz. As the season progressed they realized team work was important and in order to win a team must play four good quarters, not two or three like they had been playing. It was a rewarding season for the boys and the coach in many ways. Leon Macarages, Clyde Day, Scanlon McCain, and Mike Rowell played mostly as substitutes. Number 32, Jerry Davis makes a side shot for the basket. ABOVE: Jerry Davis eyes an easy basket. LEFT: Number 12, Jimmy Chamblin, finds the going rough.

Hard work, teamwork, and the will to win de- scribed the 1972 track team. The story of the team can be summed up by the individual devotion of each member for the benefit of all. With many lettermen returning from last year the team improved in many events. Participating in the annual Run for Fun Meet in Taylor County the Cougars placed high in scoring. The team also participated against Monticello, Jasper, Florida High, Cross City, and Jacksonville Bolles. The main objective this year was to send as many men to state as possible. State was held in Gainesville, Florida. Team effort and great coaching molded a team with a sense of competiton and good sportsmanship. 55 Returning from last year is Carl Dice, our south paw pitcher.

SECOND ROW; Adolphos Hammock. Headed by a great coach and followed by a team of boys whose ability reflected their desire to win, the 1972 Baseball team represented Madison well. Returning from last year were many outstand- ing seniors and juniors. The team participated against many teams in- cluding Monticello, Perry, Jasper, Rickards, and Leon High. Outstanding boys, backed by team spirit and a lot of hard work, displayed the skill and sportman- ship which made our team great. 57 LEFT: BillPrimm, John Adams, and Franklin Hals are good managers. Another Year Oj Hard Work, Rushed Deadlines, Tensed Emotions? Late Hours, And Throbbing Headaches . . Annual Staff When the Mahisco staff of 72' began its year of trying to establish a fantastic yearbook, they had one main purpose in mind. That purpose was to strive to make things that count memorable to all students at Madison High School. This year the staff tried to follow good journalistic rules by es- tablishing a specific layout style using big pictures. They also updated the book by portraying modern ideas of today. Under the continuous strain of meet- ing deadlines, each member put forth every effort to bring love, peace, and happiness to all. Leonard Harris and Mike Ragans Sports.

Students taking Library Science, under the guidance of Mrs. Tucker, learned and executed the fundamental skills or running a library systema- tically. Students' responsibilities included shelving books, filing student cards, keeping the library clean, selling school supplies, running A.V. equipment, and being of assistance to fellow students. Here is a plain case of the respectable doctrine of learning through doing. Tommy Brinson, Tim Logan, Paul Edenfield, Kathy Kelly; nobody works all the time!

As its name suggests, Madison High School Science Club was made up of students who were interested in the sciences. The club provided opportunities for those who have been previous members and had taken a science to further their knowledge in the science world. Science Club started a great year with a tour of Cape Kennedy on September 24. The tour lasted about for hours and included a lecture on Man in Space , a film on Apollo 14, and a fifty-mile bus ride through the cape to see the buildings and grounds where the space ships are built. The highlight of the year for the Science Club was seeing another Apollo lift-off. This occurred on a second tour in April. The Science Club held a flea Market at the court house to help pay the expense of these trips, and they also bought air conditioners for the science room.

Inter club Council Madison High School's Interclub Council is a group made up of the President of all school clubs. It is a branch of the student council; therefore, the vice-president of the student council heads the group. All of our school clubs need to work together so the Interclub Council’s main purpose was to plan all club activities so that our school clubs would be working working together and not against each other. They did not have regular meetings, but only when prob- lems arose. They did not have any special activi- ties; they help other clubs with their projects, and problems. E. R.

S. did much to improve their present status in homemaking. The members served at theFather- Son banquet as their first activity. In the spring the club held a Mother-Daughter tea. A Father-Daugh- ter discussion was held in the Spring. A Muscular Distrophy Drive was worked upon to help others. All in all, much experience relating to home life was gained through F. H.

Vocational Industrial Clubs Of America Has Enthusiastic Year A recently organized club for boys and girls enrolled in the vocational industrial education program at N.F.J.C.’s Adult Center was VICA. This national organization had many purposes. A few of these purposes were: to unite in a common bond all students enrolled in vocational industrial education; to foster a deep respect for the dignity of work; to assist students in establishing vocational goals; to help students attain a purposeful life; and to create enthusiasm for learning. Building a dune-buggy which was entered in this year's homecoming parade was a proud achievement for the club. They also sponsored a dance and a car wash for money-making projects.

This included Mahisco Staff, Paw Prints Staff, and students who previously have had at least one semester of some type of journalism. Though Madison received her charter in 1967, this is the first year there has been an active chapter. This year’s membership totaled 22: Nine students from Mahisco staff, eleven students from Paw Prints staff and two Journalism students from last year. Activities were somewhat limited due to participation of the classes. The main event was the entry of a contestant in the Miss M.H.S. Pageant in January.

Selling refreshments dur- ing homecoming week was only one of the club pro- jects. Others included decorating the bulletin board each month, placing snacks in the teacher’s lounge during teacher appreciation week, and giving a con- tribution to the custodians Christmas fund. The club had some new activities for the year. A Reverse Beauty Pageant featuring male contestants and the celebration of the 25th year sf the Beta Club at Madison High. Another new experience for the club was the elec- tion of two of its members to District offices. Mary Burns served as reporter and Wayne Bottomley as Vice-President. In May a musical ensemble composed of club members went to the state Corvention and entered the talent contest. This was c of the outstanding events of the school year.

For recreational purposes they sponsored intramural basketball and ping-pong. Student Council orga- nized all of the homecoming activities including field day, the coronation ceremony, and the home- coming parade. Our queen's float in the home- coming parade was planned and built by a committee of ten members. Hard working members of this group held three dances, were active in Madison's city-wide clean-up program by gathering, painting, and placing trashcans around the school campus, and painted lines in the school car lot to make park- ing easier. A member of M.H.S.' student council served as vice-president of the Florida Association of student Councils. Various assembly programs were presented during the year helping with orien- tation, student body elections, and entertainment. FIRST ROW; Nathaniel Williams, Jean Peacock.

The staff upgraded the paper by redesigning the nameplate using larger columns and type on the editorial page, and experimenting with different styles and sizes of headlines. Paw Prints discontinued the gossip and song dedication columns so students could have more room to express themselves. In November, a $900.00 grant under a Federal Emergency School Assistance Program made the Pub- lication free of charge to all students. In March some of the staffers attended the FSPA Convention in St. Petersburg where they got a chan- chance to meet and talk shop with high school journalists from all over the state. Paw Prints staff is a member of Quill and Scroll, Student Press Association, and Florida Scholastic Press Association.

Members of the Span- ish Club won first place for the car that they deco- rated and entered in the homecoming parade. At Christmas, they had a party and for recreation,they had a contest to see who could burst the pinata blind- folded. Keeping the Spanish accent, they held a dinner using Spanish decorations and eating Spanish foods. Spanish Club is a unique organization and all the members have one common interest-Spanish. Their goal-the broadening of education by absorbing know- ledge of a feriegn language and customs. These Spanish students, Linda McNeil and Jennifer Young enjoy discussing Spanish Issues.

Place In Wood Pulp Estimate Ag members find time to relax. Edwin Bochnia assists Johnny Webb in assembling a lawn mower engine. Tobacco growing and wash-tub bands were among the many interesting and exciting activities of Future Farmers of America this year at M.H.S. This group of well rounded boys began the year by attending the annual Forestry Field Day in Tallahassee where they proudly won first place in wood pulp estimate and an overall third place. The fundamentals of accurately judging livestock were experienced by all the mem- bers as they attended a special school for this purpose in January. February brought an added attraction for many of the club members as they entered the judging con- test at the Florida State Fair. District and sub-dis- trict contests in tractor driving, string band, and parliamentary procedure were experienced for the first time by new members since they were the del- egates to this event. Successfully growing two acres of tobacco greatly padded the club treasury. This money was well used in April for a Parent-Son ban- quet where awards for the year were presented to outstanding club members.

Don't be content with thy good to rest, until thy good becomes better and thy better becomes best, as the old saying goes for die school and die principal. There are few peo- ple who can carry out this saying, but Mr. Joe Worden, principal of Madison High, has proven this saying through his work. With benefits from some of his past errors, he realized goals for the future and sought to better current conditions. He had the man- ners to earn the respect of young and old peo- ple attending this school, forhis social grace had reached its highest zenith. His great endurance, integrity, firmness, and patience have provided a number of changes to bring about unity in all school activities. Through his help, wefoundMad- ison High School to be a better place for life's changes as well as being inspirational. Hehad faith in us and our ideas and in every- thing the students had begun. He also helped us pick up broken pieces and unite. Precious, Mr. Worden's best friend. 98 Mr. Peterson and Mrs. Cherry shared numerous responsibilities and duties such as handling school relations with the parents as well as with the stu- dents themselves. These counselors were available during the students' free time and after school to assist students with planning schedules and solving personal problems. As Guidance Counselor, and Assistant Principal, Mr. Peterson and Mrs. Cherry gave students a wealth of helpful advice for select- ing the right paths inslife. They helped students to know more about their personal, social, vocational, and educational activities. They were always busy, always interested in giving a smoothe helping hand for the operation of school activities. The Personnel of the Guidance sector, were aware of the stepped-up demands on people in fam- ily life, in economic productiveness and citizenship. Efforts were made to better the students against these increasing pressures.

Both publications preserve happy memories and give merited reward to the workers in the department. Becky Robinson Mahisco Editor. 101 Social Studies Department Focuses On Moral Issues Of Today Social Studies department instructors stressed the importance of student understanding of the issues and problems of today's world. Education in the area of social atudies was considered as the key to world peace. The importance of studying the past and un- derstanding the achievements and errors of man was a major emphasis in all course offerings. Man as an individual and man as a member of society were studied by the students. Causes of pre- sent day social problems were investigated and cures for the problems were sought. Man's spiritual devel- opements and his religions were studied in courses of the social studies department. Students were assisted in studying and understand- ing and accepting others through their work in social studies classes. MRS.

Emphasis was placed upon experimentation which was the most enjoyable part of the science. Through experimentation, the students discovered the steps by which scientists proceed and see princi- ples grow out of observations made in the lab. To better equip the students with changes in technology and environment, Science Department sponsored field trips to Perry, Florida State Univer- sity, and Cape Kennedy. Carrying out the plan, students formed habits of questioning and of seeking understanding rather than being satisfied with blind acceptance of isolated facts. The door to science is open to today's youth. MR. RICHARD NOWICKI Biology I, Biology II, and Physical Science.

Minds In Search Of Development A major aim of the Business Education Depart- ment is to supply experiences that will function in the lives of those students wishing to enter office occupations and, at the same time, provide helpful general education for all students. Along with this emphases goes an awareness of business in all phases of productive living, social, economic, and politi- cal. This implies concern for the disciplines and management concepts that underlie the business world. Secretarii skills, the product of perseverence and patience, provide the keys for entering many fields of business. They are stepping-stones to lim- ittless opportunities and valuable security in times of future need. Giving a sharper focus to instruction in the de- partment are the items of new equipment added this year. This includes adjustable secretarii desks, chairs, calculators, adding machines, and a tape recorder. New courses made available this year are typing II and Shorthand II. These supplement the regular business courses. Utilizing the full resources, students should be able to cope with a world growing increasingly complex. MISS BARBARA SPARKS Gen. Bus. I, Bus.

KING General Math II, Math II, and Geometry. MRS. BROWNING Alg. II, Bus. Math I, Alg. I, Publications, Math II. Efforts have been made during 1971-1972 to brighten up the Mathematics program along practi- cal lines. A new text book, Mathematics forLiv- ing both in format and content, focuses on the problems of daily living. Among the topics are cost of travel. House-hold and other purchasing, and the power of wise investments early in life. Two new attractively decorated texts, Mo'dern Algebra II and Trigonometry in gold marked the second editions of modern mathematics. These were designed to give a modern and practical slant to to instruction, and at the same time, to foster bet- ter care of text books. While swinging out with these new teaching materials, the Math Dept, sought to hold fast to the long established goals and values in the Math field accuracy in thinking, number direction, and as a tool in productive citizenship, are emphasized. MRS. CATRON Alg. I, Anal. Geom., Trigg. Math II. 107 Music Department Strengthens Talent The Music Department guaranteed the students personal experience and knowledge of modern mu- sic techniques. The teachers in this department helped students achieve clearness in performance, informed them of standard literature, and developed musical skills. The Madison High School Marching Cougar Band provided welcome and familiar half-time entertain- ment at home football games to stimulate pep and spirit, it represented our school in several parades through out the year. The choruses, directed by Mr. Welton, provided entertainment also. MR. LOWELL BROWN Band Director.

Home Economics pro- vided practical knowledge for the homemaker, as well as professional training for the career-minded. Ignorance of home and community problems and their solutions was stamped out by courses in Home Economics. The need for effective and sat- isfactory family living and respon- sible citizenship has provided the basic understanding that leads to easing endless housekeeping prob- lems. This department provided students with some of the basic principles and practices in making decisions in various areas of daily living. Home Economics has moved away from the stitch and stir image into a new and better program. Mrs. Morrow’s Demonstrations are very helpful in learning. Mrs. James Child Development, Modern Family Living, and Food and Nutrition, Future Homemakers Sponsor. Our home economic activities fostered opportunities for learning to make decisions and provided experiences which helped us look confidently toward our role as young men and women with homes - at a future in which responsibili- ties for homemaking are shared between man and woman in a part- nership that is supportive one of the other and satisfying to each. Today Home Economics includ- ed aspects of family relations, pa- rental education, and institutional benefits. 109 Spanish And Library Departments Assist Students Spanish and Library Departments assisted students in developing their intellectual and social skills. These two departments stressed the importance of developing their students' reading, writing, and speaking abilities. Students were encouraged to learn about and to use all library materials and language laboratory equipment in order to increase their skills. Instructors stressed the importance of through education and of responsible leadership in an ever changing world. Students participating in the Library Science program learned by practicing the actual duties of running a library systematically. In addition to keeping the library in shape, these students were responsible for assisting teachers with the Audio Visual equipment. Besides learning the fundamentals of speaking the Spanish language, these students enjoyed seeing filmstrips, singing Spanish songs, listening to Span- ish records, and studying all aspects of Spanish cul- ture.

DAVID SMITH Agriculture I and II. Students learn many useful skills. Drivers Education Encourages Safe Driving Learning road signs proves necessary. The instructor in Drivers Ed has taught students that many persons are killed through carelessness on our roads. In plain language, the instructor pointed out that the foolish, uninformed driver is likely to die on the roads, while the sensible, informed driver is not, This program required respect for persons and property and the ability to drive defensively.

Fulfills Our Desires During 1971-1972 MHS Maintenance Department responded to Nation-wide emphasis on environmen- tal protection. The personnel was not content to rest on past achievements but sought to ease the burdens of the school through higher standards of cleanliness, better atmospheric conditions, and more attractive surroundings. In like manner, the cafteria stepped up its pro- gram to supply food that helped students to realize their potentialities during their school.days and equally as important, when they assume their sta- tions in life. This included not only supplying food but helping students to more wise choices in food, table manners, and fellowship. The ground-work was re-newed emphasis on health - physical, mental, spiritual. Throughout the department was the desire to help students achieve productive and happy lives in a democracy. For this contribution to all humanity, adequate appreciation could never be given. MRS.

Cracking bats, the dribbling of basketballs, shouts of excitement, cries of disappointment, andnumbled curse words were familiar sounds in Physical Educa- tion classes. Steamy shower rooms, the odor ofhard earned perspiration, aching muscles, sprained ankles broken fingers or scrapped knees were experienced by nearly all P. E. students. About ninety-five per cent of activities were participated in by students. Such activities were: Ragtag football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, weight lifting, track, and softball for boys. Girls’ classes proved no easier. Their activities included:physical training, folk dancing, gymnastics, basketball, soft- ball, trampoline feats, bowling, badminton, and the parallel bar. Newly purchased equipment added to the fun. A universal weight machine, new jerseys (in school colores), belts, and flags mamed just a few of the items. Physical Education helped to coordinate the ac- tions of the body. Although some people are better at some sports than others, sportmanship lives in the individuals.

This year the seniors at M. H. S. started off on the right track by anchoring second place for their float which was entered in the Homecoming parade. To stay on the right track the seniors requested senior privileges. With their requests granted, they were entitled to such special rights as sitting in the front of the auditorium during assemblies and getting out for lunch two and a half minutes prior to the reg- ular lunch bell. With a trip to the Bahamas in mind, the class made efforts to enlarge their treasury. Some of the projects included selling mums at Homecoming, producing the Junior-Senior play and the annual Senior Follies, and selling tooth brushes. With these operations carried out by responsible seniors, they were able to reach the goal. The year of '72 proved to be 'the year for seniors. 142 APPROXIMATELY 168 SENIORS ENTER THE YEAR WITH CONFIDENCE DELORIS AIKENS ALICE ALEXANDER CLARETHA BARNES DORTHY JEAN AIKENS DANATTA KAY ANDREWS CYNTHIA BARRS LEOLA AIKENS WILLIAM TYUS BANKS DEBRA REGINA BELL SENIORS ENJO Y LEA VING EARLY FOR LUNCH PAMELA DIANE BELCHER DEBRA JO BLAIR VENUS MARIE BLANTON EDWIN BACHNIA WAYNE BOTTOMLY MARIAN BROWN SARAH LISA BROWNING DONNA SHARON BROWNING RHUNETTE BRYANT 144 MARY CAROLYN BURNS CONNIE CHANDLER DIANNE CAMPOLONG DOUGLAS MAYE CHERRY VERCIE ELLEN CASON JOSEPH CHEWNING 145 SENIORS REFLECT THOSE UNFORGOTTEN MOMENTS CHRISTINE E.

Fashion for the Young and Young at Heart 206 What Can We Say Bat THANK YOU!!! MRS. LOUISE BROWNING - Advisor We. the Mahisco staff of 1971-72, wish to express our deepest thanks to the very special people who have meant so much in helping us produce this edition of our yearbook. To MRS. LOUISE BROWNING, ouradvisor, we can truly say, Where would we have been without you? Though at times things were rough, you never lost faith in us! It was a comfort just knowing you were always around to give us that little extra shove in the right direction when we needed it. Since you are retiring this year, we thought it only appropiate that we say thank you for all the other yearbook staffs you have led in your thirty-two years of teaching. You will truly be missed at M.H.S. Another person who deserves our deepest thanks is MR. CHARLES SWAIN, a local drafting instructor and photographer. Without your kindness, patience , and fantastic pictures, we would have many blank pages in this yearbook. Again we can only say thank you. There are many others who deserve to bementioned and among them are MR. JIM BOLIN, our Taylor Publishing Co. representative; MR. GERALD ROBERTS and MR. GEORGE HOBBS. Olan Mills photographers; MR. KIRBY REICHMAN, another local photographer; all of our ad buyers and patrons; and the faculty and Mr. Worden at M.H.S. To our teachers, we specially say thank you for excusing us from class so many times to work on the yearbook. To the students at M.H.S., thank you for sup- porting your yearbook. Without you, it truly would have been impossible to produce our finished product. In closing, we wish to dedicate this page to Mrs. Browning, our friend foerever. Sincerely, Mahisco Staff 1971-72 207 If you can imagine what it's like to wrack your brain to try to come up with creative layouts, to try to take pictures with a camera that never seems to work, to try to think of a caption until you are all captioned out, to stay up until 3:00 a.m. every night before each deadline - if you can imagihe all this, then maybe you can understand what it's like to produce a yearbook. Along with the worry and frustration, satisfaction and enthusiasm slip in some- how. Just think how easy it is for you, the reader, to quickly skim through this yearbook in fifteen minutes. Now think about the staff that spent seven months of intense work producting it! That's where the joy and satisfaction for all our hard work comes in, though. The fact that we seventeen amateur journalists have actually produced this yearbook for your enjoyment is rewarding enough for us. Things that Count was easy to carry out as a theme because so many things are important in these changing times. Throughout the book, I've tried to make sure that the staff reflected today's time in an interesting manner. I sincerely hope you enjoy your yearbook and will cherish it in a special way. In closing, I have but one word to say to everyone . . . Peace, Editor-in-chief IS 208 ♦
