Melissa Borg is ready to head to the beach and hit the waves on beach day during Sectional week. TO THE HOOP! Spirit finally hit MHS the week of the basketball Sectional. The school looked different that week. The students showed their spirit and support by dressing for hat day, sweats day, beach day, black out day, and spirit day. On beach day, the weather definitely wasn’t beach weather, but people came dressed in shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and with towels wrapped around their necks. The spirit continued on to the games. For the first time, the cheerblock actually supported the team by cheering. Although we didn't win Sectional, it wasn’t because of a lack of school spirit.

Squcte -May Shelia Bradley steps out of the cafeteria for cooler air after being crowned Sweetheart Queen. The Christmas tree, nicely decorated by the Sunshine Society, stands as a seasonal reminder in the front lobby. Dreaming Of A White Christmas Living In A Green One Christmas of '86 was totally the opposite of the blizzard of 78. No snow plows were needed, no sleds were used and no school days were cancelled. Temperatures ranged from the low 30’s into the high 40's. Teddy Ruxpins, Glo- Worms, Pound Puppies and Omnibot 2000's were hot selling items for kids. Clothes and money were the main presents for teenagers and adults. The traditional Christmas feasts and the ceremonial opening of presents were conducted as usu- al. Some people though, were lucky enough to travel to des- tinations ranging from Grandmother’s house to Moscow. The Sunshine Society bought a Christmas tree and decorated the halls of MHS and then gave the tree to a needy family before Christmas. The Christmas dance, sponsored by the French Club, was after a home basketball game on Sat., Dec. 20. The overall feeling about Christmas this year was, Without snow, Christmas seemed like just another day.” 6 Melissa Heavilon and Eric Underwood anxiously await the start of the Sweet- heart dance Let Me Call You Sweetheart The most meaninsful night for couples came to MHS on Feb. 14. The sparkling decorations in the caf- eteria set a romantic mood for all. Multicolored lights blinked on and off during fast dances, then the lights were dimmed for slow ones. Later in the evening, the Sweetheart candidates were introduced and the queen was crowned. Members of the court were juniors Sonja James and Joyce Hoover, and sopho- more Shannon Howard. Senior Shelia Bradley was crowned queen. I was so surprised,” Sheila remem- bers. It's something I'll never forget.”

The browning leaves contrast the left over blue sky of summer, predicting the arrival of autumn. Taking advantage of the first signs of spring, Stephanie Leonhard and Steve Straiger enjoy an ear- ly morning in the park. r No one is around the park on a hot summer day, allowing the swing to stand empty, waiting for a passenger. Ready to zoom down a hill, the sled waits to be dug out of its frozen bed of snow. «v 'ime Sp inning through the tunne (of 3, cjCeaving yesterday a gray shadow passing seasons ddmpty summer Swings frozen winter sfeds Ijears Gripping over nightmares oj memories Searching for a white future Oh rowi n g 3 me U ind Cyras pi n y tom or row - Stephanie oLeonhard
