Go placidly amid the noise and haste ... as far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others. Be yourself. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself . . . Y ou are a child of the universe . . .You have a right to be here . . . Whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. - Desiderata 16 Opening

In a world growing more agreeable to listening to our ideas, the students of M.H.S. gained more freedom. 2:20 P.M. was the magic hour. Students were allowed to do their own thing. Some chose to go to their jobs early. Those participating in varsity sports finished practice earlier, leaving them more freedom for other interests. Club activities, as well as outside entertainment, were offered during activity period. To some it was a time of relaxing after an exhausting day. Occas- sionally we were allowed the freedom of missing class to participate in an activity such as the rock concert by Lowndes County Chorus. All in all, we were a little closer to being what we wanted to be and doing what we wanted to do. 18 Activities
