Freshmen were required to take a year of standard English, while sophomores, juniors, and seniors could choose four different courses, each lasting nine weeks. Some of the classes offered were Art of the Film, which demonstrated basic elements of film making; Vocabulary, widening students use of understanding of the words in the English language; and Satire, helping students understand more fully the use of Satirical devices. A new full year class, Audio-Visual Journalism, was taught to a group of students interested in learning the fundamentals of putting on a television program, and how to use the equipment. MHS offered three foreign language classes which were French, Spanish, and German. TOP: Junior Eric Ragland gives instruction for a broadcast in Video Journalism.

Head Art Ochoa Orin Perkins James Rolloff Historians Explore Man’s Society To promote a better understanding of man and his society, both now and in ages past is one of the goals of the history department. This department covered a wide area of study, offering classes dealing with geography, history, economics, sociology, government, and psychology. U.S. and World History gave students a better understanding of what the world is today, by the influence of events in the past. World Today students learned geography and the structure of the world as it is today. In Modern Problems, seniors learned to face and handle the problems that are relevant now. Through knowledge gained in history courses, students can relate the past to present to figure possible solutions to current problems. 24 ABOVE: Senior Rod Marshall takes a pledge given by senior Karen Kahmen in Modern Problems.
