For the students of MSHS, the year 1968-69 has been a year of tragedy, dissent, discovery, challenge, action, endeavors, participation, and leadership-the death of a classmate . . . a new principal and faculty members . . . the discovery of hidden talents . . . more opportunity for advanced students . . . a losing season in football . . . a winning season in wrestling . . . a victory in an election of a club officer. Youth was challenged by the events of the world and were given the opportunity at MSHS to experience, learn, and practice the skills which will help them meet the challenge. That's what it's all about. And that's what this book is about. it all about?

Recog- nition of achievement and a desire to do more than is required can be seen in scholarship and award win- ners, in student government through a Student Council, in hours of grueling practice for perfection by athletes, or in a State Farmer. Students working together on a project for a common cause and for the sheer enjoy- ment of participation all go to make a complete image of LEADERSHIP. Bmw, M L f If Exploring the unknown . . . being challenged and encouraged by teachers . . memorizing facts . . . formulating new ideas and seeking solutions . . . learn- ing through books and experiences . . . glimpsing new horizons . . working together to discover the true meaning of education are all ways in which MSHS students learn via instruction. Knowledge being ae- quired through repetition in French labs, dissection of a cat in Advanced Biology, dramatization of Shakes- peare in English classes, investment in the stock mar- ket in Economics or creation of a masterpiece in art all go to make up the complete image ofthe heartbeat of a schoolADISCOVERY. M,,,f ' , ' ,, ,SMB S ,,-,..,.,,.ir ,QD Skating on a crisp Winter day at the Lake . . . struggling against the clock in a close basketball game . . . hiking along an unknown path . . . swinging precisely to make the final birdie are all ways in Which MSHS students use their leisure time to promote physical fitness. The desire to Win and a certain spirit which spices the air can be felt by the ringing of cheers as the flames leap and crackle out of the victory bonfire, the despairing cries for one more basket as team- mates scramble for the ball, and the brassiness and omm-pah -pah of a Homecoming parade as it marches briskly down Main Streeteall go to make a complete image of MOTION.

A cheerful hello in the halls . . . special times shared with a few . . . ex- periences shared with many . . . crazy stunts pulled for no reason . . . the joy of knowing and belonging . . . companionship all go to make the phenomenon that makes high school more than just four years of academic study.

H s1 mrmrw as : The 1969 Yearbook Dedication Honors Mr. Parsons, or 'gGil as he is better known, is someone special to all who know him. Anyone who rides the school bus each morning, anyone who rides the spectator bus- es to the games, anyone who goes on field trips knows and admires the good-humored bus driver who trans- ports them. ln the early fall, the RETRO staff voted to dedicate this, the 1969 RETRO, to Gil Parsons, thanking him for his thoughtfulness, cheerful- ness, and sheer enjoyment of life and the people of MSHS.

I 'S 3 What's it all about? endeavors No where has the protest movement been felt more than in the educational system where the problems of depersonalization and massive organization threaten to destroy. Has technology depersonalized human relation- ships to frightening degrees? Has youth given up learn- ing by experience and education in their struggle to ful- fill the necessity for involvement? Each play presented, each job held after school, each debate on the social and political issues of our times, each hour filled with study and appreciation, each person met and acquaint- ance formed, each sharing of common interests and ex- periences provided MSHS students with the opportuni- ties of learning through experiences and asserting them- selves as individuals. Lake of the Woods Dominates Summer TAKING A BREAK from work at Lake of the Woods, Mike Dillow strains to touch the water. Discovery and o p p o r t u n i t y greeted s t u d e n t s embarking on summer 1968. The assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy and the political conventions in Miami and Chicago all had a profound impact on the students. However, the summer was not all cata- strophic. Traveling to all corners of the xxorld-from the majestic Capitol in Washington DC.. to magical Disneyland in California, to the stimulating Hemisphere '68 in Tex- as-offered students the opportun- ity for learning as well as vaca- tioning. Many students took advantage of the local park, Lake of the Woods, and enjoyed swimming, boating, and golfing. Others spent lazy days picnicking at Turkey Run, dancing at St. Pat's, eating pizza at Donaldson's or bowling at the Satellite Bowl. Jobs for students varied from clerking at Chuck's Drug Store to canvassing for various political candidates to walking beans on the local farms. These activities ended the 1968 summer with lasting friendships and lingering memories making it a unique season. eei Q .e g K-1 M Q A COOL WATER HELPS to quench PICNICS WERE FREOUENT as MSHS students spend day after day of their a hot summer sun. precious vacation.

With the familiar sounds of lock- ers slamming and bells ringing, the sights of admit slips and sched- ules, and the smells of freshly waxed floors and chalk, the stu- dents of MSHS were greeted with a frenzy of activity and work. A new principal, faculty members, and a work-study program in the Agriculture department promised to provide many new experiences during the coming year. Pep rallies at noon, a dance af- ter the first football game and numerous fire drills all helped get the year off to an exciting and enthusiastic beginning. Red, white, and blue campaign buttons and politicking in the halls were all brought to a climax by a mock election held November 6 in which students overwhelmingly voted for Nixon over Humphrey-l68 to 58.

Early on November 7, Richard Nixon was proclaimed the 37th President of the United States as Illinois was finally placed in his column, ending one of the most suspenseful U.S. elections in mod- ern times. The moon is essentially a sort of gray. No color, reported Com- mander Lovell from his vantage point 70 miles above the moon. In the first manned spacecraft to the moon, Apollo 8, Lovell, Major Anders, and Colonel Borman made history on Christmas Eve, 1968, as they traveled faster and farther away from the earth than man had ever traveled before. With the be- ginning of the lunar era, a new Republican administration, and the second semester, MSHS students found continuing challenge and change facing them. , .. . V , ,,.v - f 1.

The bell at 3:00 signaled the beginning of the Homecoming pa- rade which was made even more memorable by the absence of one float. The Sophomores were having trouble with the tail of their Whale of a Victory which fi- nally joined the parade during its last leg. With hopeful suspense and the sure confidence of a victory, stu- dents gathered at the football field to watch the mighty Bulldogs bat- tle the Fisher Bunnies. A slow beginning of the offense and the and Nick Taylor absence of Co-Captain Nick Tay- lor, who was hurt earlier in the Farmer City game, brought about a disastrous 25-O setback. Students danced to the best ot the Soul Generation at the Mag- ical Mystery Tour dance which followed the game. Nervous giggles and unsuppressed chatter charac- terized the Court members as they waited to be introduced and took their places on the platform.

Paradcs, balls, and the solemn swearing-in ceremony all had their place as Richard M. Nixon took his oath of office as the 37th President of the United States. Later in Jan- uary, the President made his first Presidential trip abroad visiting six countries and conferring with for- eign leaders. Christmas activities at MSHS included a skit given by the Seniors and a semi-formal dance sponsored by the GAA and the Service Clubs. Moving into the second semester activities, students found time to enjoy themselves by riding snow- mobiles, sledding, and skating at the Lake, and collecting at various homes for fun and eats. The Seniors and the Drama Club presented two one-act plays on February 13, followed on February 28 by a chili supper given by the GAA for the Villa Grove GAA. Spring was heralded by the Proviso East becoming the 1969 State Bas- ketball Champs. THE WEEK BEFORE Christmas vacation means a quick lesson in wrestling for girls' P.E. classes.

The jobs provided excellent training, perhaps for a fu- ture career in pharmacy. retailing, or business management. Another benefit was the experience of deal- ing with and serving people. The greatest asset. of course. was the pocket money earned: whether it was spent on that big date Saturday night or on an expensive outfit in a downtown department store or put in the bank for another four years in school.

Spring also brought warmer weather and thoughts of parties and final exams. An all-school assembly roared at the antics of the Eastern Illinois University gymnastic squad. An- other assembly was serenaded by the Hoopeston Band and Chorus. In recognition of Law Day, May I, students witnessed a mock trial where the fate of Louise Larceny was decided. Organizations came alive with the weather as new Varsity Cheer- leaders were elected as were the Student Council officers for next year. FHA sponsored their tradi- tional Family Night and the FFA chose their Chapter Sweetheart, Mary Rittenhouse.

' rn hm X '1 Whatts it all about? motion In the age of supersonic flight and record-breaking Olympic performances, motion can be felt and seen in all parts of life. From cars zooming down the interstate at 70 mph to the 3.52 mile of Jim Ryan to a fast-mov- ing soccer match, motion surrounds and engulfs every hour of life. Along with this accelerated speed comes problems of safety and skill. Where are these principles first learned and executed but in the high school? Each new development in safety for football players discover- ed, each basketball swished, each reversal made by grap- plers, each dash ran, each birdie made contributes to the spirit of competition, fair-play and the sheer en- joyment ofthe spectators as Well. WOW! THIS MUST have been a laundry test! Center Refreshcd with new blood and a new coach, the Bulldogs were pre- viewed at the a n n u a l football scrimmage September 6. In spite of team efforts, the Bulldogs lost their first three out- ings but rallied from defeat to take a victory, 30-O over Saybrook. At Farmer City, the team suf- fered a setback. Guard, Nick Tay- lor, injured his knee in the first quarter of thc 0-7 contest, bench- ing him for the rcst ofthe year. Homecoming spirits were damp- ened when Fisher dominated the scoreboards, 25-0. The challenge at LeRoy left an other scar of defeat as a second lineman, Dale Mayol, was lost to an ankle injury in the 45-6 upset. Downing rival Mansfield 20-13 the team traveled to the snowy Heyworth field. The Hornets came out on top, 21-28, after meeting up with a stubborn Bulldogs defense.

Harner, in Mid Season Even though producing a 4-19 season record, the MS Bulldogs developed a great spirit on every court. ln Coach Pardun's first two games, Monticello won 63-40 and Deland-Weldon won 91-44. The Bulldogs found their first victory against Farmer City 55-45. Then the Bulldogs succumbed to a losing streak which lasted six weeks and for thirteen games. In the Holiday tournament, the team placed last among eight rivals. Once back into league play, MS was upended in the final four sec- onds of the Saybrook game. Re- turning home for the first time in eight games, the cagers battled and lost to Cerro Gordo 81-77. The Bulldogs went on to bow out of the County Tournament with two losses. Gibson City muscled a 60- 58 thriller against the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs proceeded to lose the next four out of five games. JV Coach Harner then took over the controls as the cagers outscored the Uni lllineks, 61-53. The Bulldogs avenged Villa Grove with a 66-60 score and in regional play, Cen- tennial dropped the Bulldogs 73- 60. Happiness was hard to find in the Bulldogs locker room, but the team came back from each defeat with a tough defense and a tre- mendous support from the fans.

Pep rallies at noon organized and presented by the girls kept the enthusiasm flowing through- out the season. A spectator bus pro- vided transportation to all games for the cheerleaders and helped to increase the number of fans. The cheerleaders also led the crowd with the familiar cry of pin 'em dur- ing the wrestling season. At the end ofthe year, the cheer- leaders joined the GAA members and formed the Trackettes. The girls recorded times and measured dis- tances for events. The last and most important job of the cheerleaders was to convey their enthusiasm to the newly elected Varsity squad for the coming year. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS-KNEELING: J. Bennett. B. Watts. M.

Under the direction of new coach, Everette Hill, and with six returning lettermcn, the Bull- dogs proved to be strong compe- tition in their initial season opener. T h e y overwhelmed Saybrook-Ar- rowsmith with a score of 40-18. The matmen then plunged into the next eight meets salvaging only one win, over Deland-Weldon, and tying with the conference-power LeRoy. However, the wrestlers, spirits did not suffer as six men placed in the conference finals. One of the six, Kevin Graham, emerged as champion of the 138- pound weight class. The team, as a whole, placed second to Fisher. In meeting their last six opponents, the Bulldogs whipped five of them by ten points or more and losing only to Octavia. ln the district meet, a five-point performance did not produce any winners.

The Pep Club, an all-girl group supported the MS teams throughout their victories and defeats with apprecia- tion and enthusiasm. Buying the new uniforms for the Junior Var- sity cheerleaders was the major project undertaken by the MS Pep Club. They sold candy apples at football games, red and blue night- shirts with Playboy bunnies on them and also the ever-popular MS sweatshirts to finance the uniforms. The Lettermcn's Club was an all- male organization consisting of the lettermen in all the sports. stimulat- ed by Coach Pardun and Coach Bowman the athletes formed a club. lt had discontinued several years ago and after reconstructing the old constitution, the new club elected its officers. They began a money raising campaign because the senior members ordered pad- dles. The wooden paddles had print- ed on them a list of individual participation and achievements in sports. Both in the fall and the spring the members held a car wash and made enough profit for the paddles.

Where do the leaders of tomorrow gain the skills to deal with the problems of life? Where does cooperation begin?

We are among the people who will grapple with and try to solve the problems of mankind. lil it PRESIDENT NICK TAYLOR listens to a suggestion offered by Mr. Tucker on a discussion topic. The Student Council started the year by adding a new look to MSHS by enforcing the new dress code. The code was presented to the stu- dent body and faculty for discussion and suggestions before it was en- acted by a vote of the Council mem- bers. One of the Council's projects con- ducted was the Save the Children Federation's 'LBundle Days for which the Council was congratulat- ed for such a great response from a small school by the sponsors of the program. Fisher High School and Centen- nial High School were two of the schools visited during exchange days when several of our Council mem- bers attended school to observe first hand the conditions and procedures of other high schools. The program offered a basis for judging MSHS and members brought back many ideas for change. The old and new officers of the Student Council, led by the new President, Nancy Karr, attended the SVC Student Council Conference meeting and brought back several ideas which will be the basis for next year's Student Council work.

Librarians Sell Books for Profit With the challenging task of keep- ing the library neat and efficient, rearranging the reference room and initiating a new system of checking out magazines, time became pre- cious for the librarians. A new ad- dition to the library was the notice of overdue books which could be seen taped to many lockers. The Li- brary Club was led by President Di- ane Chambers, Vice-President Lea- tha Dean, and Secretary Salli Loy. Another attraction started by the librarians this year was the selling of paperback books at the mobile book stand in the upper hall at noon. The book sales have made it possi- ble for Mrs. Gillespie to buy many of the needed reference aids as well as fiction books for the library. .31 .

From the time school started to the dismissal bell, student secretaries were kept busy running off dittos and typing work-sheets, stencils, programs, and invoices. Taking some of the work load from the teachers, students gained valuable experience for future secretarial jobs. Hall monitors served as assistants to the school secretaries. Each per- iod, the hall monitors could be heard picking up the absentee slips and delivering messages in addition to stamping envelopes, mailing out re- port cards, and any other of the many things which help to make the sec- retary's job a little easier.

No Checkers Allowed in Chess Club The MS Chess Club served to exemplify varied and specific in- terests in organizations this year. Students who had common knowl- edge or an interest in learning the game of chess met once a week to discuss rules and match wits with others. Informal atmosphere added to the enjoyment of the club meetings. A new feature for the club was the interest shown by girls in the game of chess. Several girls joined the club and proved that they were just as skilled as the boys. Most meetings ended with a familiar phrase, Hcheckmatef' LISA DILLOW AND Kathy Barnes enjoy a match.

The Future Teachers Association initiated a new project this year to provide experience for members in handling high school students. A special study hall was established and several future teachers who were interested in instructing at the high school level alternated to teach ev- ery four weeks. The organization al- so continued with its previous pro- jects of student-teaching at the grade school and having MS teachers ad- dress the group at special meetings. ,dv-wxv 'W .fa- f e 3 'g ' A MARY RITTENHOUSE SUPERVISES fourth hour study hall as a part of her stu dent teaching program.

Beating the Freshman class in the annual magazine sales was the first major problem facing the RETRO staff. After a three-week campaign, the RETRO staff was beaten but did succeed in raising S397 for this year's book. Jerry Ewing was high salesman for the fourth consecutive year. ISHSPA was attended by sev- eral staff members where they gained invaluable help and ideas from the lectures, exhibits, and sample yearbooks. After returning from a tiring day at ISHSPA, the RETRO staff sponsored a dance after the first football game. Breaking tradition, the annual RETRO skit was replaced by a party given by the staff for Gil Par- sons who received the dedication to the tune of 'fKing of the Road? Deadlines meant the click of typewriters, the mental straining for one more line, and the drive to take all the pictures in time. All these things and much more were what went to make the RET- RO a record of what it was all about. l X..-H 1 AS RETRO AD STAFF BOTTOM ROW: Pat Turner, Jerry Ewing, Leatha Dean.

Chorus Members Present KING AND I As After struggling with overflowing numbers and a very short period, the chorus was first heard at the an- nual Christmas Concert where the 19th Edition was featured singing L'Let There Be Peace On Earth. Pops Concert was the next event for the full chorus where they were found to be first on the program. Cakes and pies were sold during the program and the profits went to the spring musical. After several nerve-racking weeks, the cast was chosen for Rogers and Hammersteiifs elaborate musical THE KING AND I and rehearsals began in earnest for the April I8 and 19 performances. At the end of the year, the senior girls of the chorus sang for gradua- tion as tradition was continued.

Contemporary Issues Head Topics One of the main objectives of the English Department this year was to relate English to the con- temporary world through debate, discussion, and independent proj- ects. English l studied humor in a special unit where games and small discussion groups were employed. The reading of ROMEO AND JU- LIET was complemented by the viewing of the movie of the same name as well as reading WEST SIDE STORY. The word unit where different levels of word meaning were stud- ied was well received by the sopho- mores. Special projects relating to JULIUS CAESAR were also em- ployed. Juniors found their time occupied with special literature units where they read HUCKLEBERRY FINN, MEMBER OF THE WEDDING, and OUR TOWN. Book reviews on individually chosen books as well as poetry rounded out the Eng- lish Ill classes. English IV read the works of many of the contemporary poets such as Masters, Eliot and Cum- mings as well as such writers as C. P. Snow, Toynbee, and Dylan Thomas. A new business English class was added to the curriculum for seniors. INFORMAL ATMOSPHERE FOR lecture and open discussion of major issues typifies English IV. P .....

Economics Students Play Stock arket Social studies and World History offered classes a view of the world -both ancient and contemporary. Comparisons of major historical figures helped students gain a great- er appreciation for historical repeti- tion. U.S. history attempted to en- courage young citizens to take an active part in our community and to make them aware of the values of our society. Skits and special guest speakers helped to add a little variety to the routine of lec- tures. Learning the ins and outs of politics by following the '68 elec- tion, students learned how a minori- ty president is elected. Government students sponsored a mock election in which the entire student body voiced their preference at the ballot box with Nixon and Oglivie heavy favorites. Economics and Sociology students studied social patterns in relation to the economics of society. Current History classes emphasized contemporary issues and problems with special attention given to gov- ernment role. .lpn MAPS AID THE discussion of world affairs as students are more able to visualize world areas.

In first-year French, basic gram- mar and a beginning vocabulary were attained. Writing and speak- ing skills were improved in French II, where students wrote French fairy tales, gave speeches and pre- sented skits. Students in French III concentrated on reading. Two plays CYRANO DE BERGERAC and M. ET. MME. CURIE were read as well as the lessons. The fourth-year French class, af- ter reading a play TARTUFFE went to see the real production put on by University of Illinois students. Various scenes were later portrayed by classroom actors. Two other plays were read and one novel, L'ETRANGER. French IV also wrote poems and made cross- word puzzles in the language. Fri- day discussion periods developed expression of ideas in French.

General Science students achieved the basic fundamentals of both bi- ology and Chemistry in a full-year course. Disecting worms, fish, frogs and grasshoppers amidst the linger- ing odor of formaldehyde left Bi- ology students with varied reactions. Genetics and animal behavior stud- ies were carried out on guinea pigs, gerbiles, and hamsters which were part of the zoo atmospherew of the Biology room. Biology pu- pils took several field trips. Chem students delved into the elemental composition and stmc- ture of matter and energy. Endless experiments and analyses of com- pounds and solutions occupied the lab and classroom periods. Physics involved theoretical studies of the properties of matter and energy. Biology II and Chemistry Il were one-semester courses and could be taken separately or together as a full-year program. These two classes offered a more detailed study of the first-year material. vt lr-U IT SURE DOESN'T look like tomato juice states Tom Lindsey while looking through a microscope.

SUSIE DAVIS RECEIVES the science award for best sci- ence grades. IN ALGEBRA II Mrs. Randall awaits a raised hand for the correct answer to the problem. With Algebra I offered in junior high, Math students could begin at the Algebra II level as a fresh- man. They mastered basic equa- tions and learned formulas which would be used in later courses. Geometry was a required sub- ject for sophomores and the class was launched into a sea of theo- rems, proofs, and constructions. Step-by-step reasoning was a result acquired by students from study- ing proofs. Solid Geometry and Trigonome- try were semester courses and in- cluded extensive study of lines, angles, and planes-and the com- putations of sines and cosines. The most advanced of the math courses offered at MSHS was Cal- culus. A small class enabled the students to become better acquainted with their material. They solved many difficult problems using slide rules and the knowledge they had acquired in previous years. All math students were trained in the use of the slide rule and they all enjoyed this short cut. athematics Molds Minds into Machines HAPPINESS IS BEING able to write a confus- MR.

Mechanics, f i n a n c e, statistics, projects and farm operations were all a part of the agriculture pro- gram this year at MSHS. Ag I,II, III, and IV students learned all of these phases beginning with the basics in the first year and going to a more detailed study for fourth year boys who majored in Ag. In the classroom, boys learned soil conservation, crop improve- ments, how to raise livestock, mon- ey management, marketing, and up- to-date production techniques. They also experimented and recorded re- sults, studied legal aspects, and learned public speaking. In the workshop, technical skills necessary to maintain a farm were taught. Boys rebuilt tractor engines, painted machinery, repaired trucks, gained welding skills, a n d, of course, employed clean-up practices to finish the job. In a rural community like Ma- homet, the agriculture course was beneficial to the boys who will continue on the farms. -5937? ,- ,,,,, A i -S.

I irls Upholster Chairs Students found Home Ec to be more on the unusual side this year. They explored new areas such as home building, specialty cooking, and furniture refinishing. First and second year girls oc- cupied themselves with the basics of cooking, sewing, and meal plan- ning. Third year students used their backgrounds to further themselves in advanced sewing and baking. Nine senior girls composed a Family Living II class, new this year. The girls gained experience in upholstering, sewing draperies, and making appetizers. Senior boys learned that baking brownies and pie shells is easier said than done. The year ended with income tax and home design study. 1 1 ANN GAZELLE HELPS cooks by laundering towels. LOOKING TOWARDS A home of her own, own curtains.

Originality and the crafts were the major ideas expressed in Art I and II this year as were the various aspects which go to create a work of art-line, form, texture, color, and shape. Initial attempts in clay were met with mixed emotions as products were just a little better- or worse-than expected. Roller printing netted Christmas cards for the holidays. Second semester units included advertising and design where stu- dents were called on to use the limits of their imagination in re- interpreting p i c t u r e s and ads. Stitchery and rug making also oc- cupied the artist's time and talents. A tour of Krannert Art Museum to see the Bi-Annual Exhibit and of Lincoln Hall to see the Classical Museum offered students a blend- ing of the old and the new. Ranging from a set of eight mugs and a pitcher to rugs to water color paintings to house design to light sculpture, projects were graded on the basis of time well spent and, of course, on the final projects themselves.

Music Students visit WLS in Chicago In its second year at MSI-IS, the Music Appreciation class, taught by Mr. Gnagey, enjoyed the largest enrollment of any single academic class and an increased study of the fundamentals of music theory as well as classical music. From the Beatles to Bach, to Sibelius, to Charlie Pride, to Louis Arm- strong-all phases of music were examined as to their appeal and style. Classical music and pop music were studied in depth the first se- mester. A trip to Chicago and a visit to two radio stations were en- joyed before the Christmas vaca- tion. Each student wrote a term paper about his favorite musician in which he discussed why he liked this particular composer and eval- uated some of his works. The second semester brought a series of lectures on music theory, country and Western music, and occupations in music related fields such as instrument making and promotion. Special topics such as Handel's Messiah,', as well as MUSIC APPRECIATION STUDENTS show their appreciation for Mr. Gnagey Blues and, Soul music, were dis- on his birthday with a cake.

Second year students delved in- to drawing, woodworking, and de- sign. Choices of wood were em- phasized in projects yielding cabi- nets, tables, and stools. Precision was tested by the ju- niors as they spent the first semes- ter working with metal. Lab work occupied second semester as well as a unit in electronics. Seniors were given freedom in developing an individual project in the lab. Each boy was able to relate his project to any field of interest.

SUSIE DAVIS IS the model as Mr. Stevens demonstrates DEBBIE PHILLIPS NARRATES the story of her weekend what's it all about? youth This is an age where youth is glorified. Society follows youthful trends in music, fashion, and art. Heroes of yesteryear have been replaced with such figures as Paul Newman, Joe Namath, Judi Ford, and Julian Bond. The much publicized generation gapi' seems to be ever widening with youthful rebellion. Long-held social and moral standards seem to be fall- ing in favor of complete freedom to '6Do your own thingvf' On closer examination, however, the questions which plague the youth and for which they are seeking answers are the same basic questions which have always plagued mankind. Who am I? Where am I going? What can I do? MSHS offered students the place to grow, to develop, and to find answers to these questions.

Led by President Doug Parrett, Vice-President Su- zanne Schneider and Secretary- Treasurer Beth Bishop, our first attempt at making a Homecoming float met with a fourth place rating. With the strong determination and enthusiasm of Freshmen, we pro- ceeded to beat the RETRO staff in the annual magazine sales-netting S448 for our '69 yearbook. President Doug Parrett, Vice- President Margie Foltz, Secretary Suzanne Schneider and Treasurer Nancy Scott concentrated their ef- forts in building our treasury with the money from a coat check and concessions. Experience produced a third place Homecoming float for the Sophomore class. Breaking tra- dition, we ordered our round class rings early in the spring. As the Junior Class decreased to 72, we elected Nancy Scott Presi- dent, Margie Foltz Vice-President, Debbie Brainerd Secretary, and Linda Williams Treasurer.

Sophomores Eagerly Await the Day for lVlSHS's Sophomore class was a combination of pulchritude, pep, and pride in scholastic accomplish- ment. The Class of ,7O became to- tally involved in the Homecoming festivities as everyone strived to overcome trouble with their float, HA Whale of a Victory. They went on to place third in float com- petition. A joint effort gave success to the '4Halloween Retreatn held in Sey- mour in the fall and to a skit given at a pep rally to promote school spirit in the spring. Diligent work and strong de- termination produced the much- needed funds. As a result of sev- eral concession stands and bake sales, they increased their class treasury. Students debated the question of morality and the younger genera- tion in a special debate held in Sophomore English classes. The is- sue was deadlocked. The class rings were ordered on March 18 and will be proudly worn on the hands of the members of the Class of '70, as they take their place as the incoming Junior Class next fall.

A. ui f 'Q X K 'N Deciding early in the year that the only way to survive in the awesome world of MSHS was to band together, 92 Freshmen united to defeat the RETRO staff in the annual magazine sales. They also raised money through concession stands and bake sales to boost their infant treasury. Enthusiasm soared with the con- struction of their first float. Led by their newly elected class officers and aided by their class sponsors: Mr. Holman, Mrs. Kaplan, Mrs. Chapas, and Mrs. Randall, the Freshmen worked late into the night to finish their Here Come de Judgew float which netted a third place rating. Unhappy with the standing of their float, they were still proud of the results. A Biology I field trip to Chi- cago, reading ROMEO AND JU- LIET and comparing it to the mov- ie, and learning the fundamentals of communicating in French pro- vided the ground for the Freshmen to show their scholastic abilities. The Class of 372 anticipated their following years at MSHS with the determination that their class would be the best ever. '4Romeo and J ulietv 49' '5 5' X 4 1 f Q?

Steve Cooper Paige Muir In Memoriam The Christmas holidays ended in tragedy for two MSHS students: senior Steve Cooper and sopho- more Paige Muir. They were killed in an auto accident after leaving a dance in Celebration of the vaca- tion. Their deaths touched many with great sadness but . . . 'Gln one sense there is no death. The lives of souls on earth last beyond their depar- ture. You will always feel that life touching yours, that voice speaking to you, that spirit looking out of others' eyes, talking to you in the familiar things they touched, worked with, loved as familiar friends. They live on in your life and in the lives of all others who knew themfl-Angelo Patri 'Y Epilogue The 1969 RETRO is a record of a year in the world and at MSHS.

William 36.121 Relief We would like to thank the many people who went beyond the call of duty in helping to make the 1969 RETRO a success. Without the support of our ad- vertisers this book could not have been possible. Several different pictures were contributed by various area photo- graphers and agencies: Don Zeigler, Larry Gilbert, Don Nissley, Rich Studios in Fisher, the NEWS GA- ZETTE sports depaitment, and Ka- thie Scott at ACTION MAGA- ZINE. Words cannot express the deep devotion and loyalty with which Bill Blankenberg has served the RETRO and the students of MSHS -we are deeply indebted. Don Zimmerman and Victor Ericksen, Inter-Collegiate Press representa- tives, provided much encourage- ment and are to be thanked for their many f'vital trips to Ma- homet. To the 1969 RETRO staff-it's your book and you should be proud of it. Mrs. Herriott and Mrs. Streeter- Gosh! BILL BLANKENBERG STRIVES for excellence.
