EXCITING CHANGES FOR M.H.S. Throughout the year, there were several changes among teachers, administrators and students themselves. Attitudes and expectations were positive, and the overall objective was ACHIEVEMENT! This included the start of the K.I.D.S. tutoring in studyhalls and a bigger list of afterschool activities. With nine new teachers and a new assistant principal, the year was an academic success. Student involvement was greatly improved this year due to more student activity. Students and staff participat- ed in more school-related events. New activities such as spirit week and pep rallies occurred more often. Another added difference was the enforcement of disciplinary rules. This created a smoother-running system, for everyone included. Seniors discovered that real life was just around the corner, and it was time to get ready. Preparing for the years to come and boosting student confidence was achieved this year, thanks to staff, students and renewed school spirit! 8 Academics

SCHOOLWORK ISN’T EVER YTHING A student’s life demands excessive time and effort. In order for a student to survive successfully through these trying years, he must have a balance of working and enjoying himself. Students who work are asked to sacrifice a considerable amount of their leisure time. By doing this, however, these working students not only earn much needed money, they also learn how to budget their time successfully and make good use of any free time that they may have. This is one aspect which is very essential to life, but it cannot be taught in any classroom. Work is not the only thing which contributes to learning. An equal balance of work and leisure best contributes to learning as a whole. A well-educated person is not one who buries his nose into a pile of books. The different activities in which students, shown here, partake show a healthy, positive atmosphere in this school. These after- school activities create an excellent emotional outlet from the somewhat disciplined scholastic environment. Most people show an entirely different but more personable side of themselves when they are among friends and having a good time. In this manner, these activities promote communication and friendship, qualities that are often not shown in the more serious environment of school. 1. Sherri ianco. Karla Stach. Shar- on Minor.
