A report card. Well, yes, but .... A speeding ticket. That's true also, but .... The United States Constitution. Right! With the advent of Constitution Day Sept. 16, students across the country got a chance to learn a little more about this important document. MHS was no exception. The commons became an historical mecca, with booths from 14 departments represented. The students were able to view the various booths during the lunch hour. All 14 booths were in one of two categories-cultural or aspects dealing with the Constitution. The English booth offered a sampling of books that have been placed on the banned list, while the science department presented a slide show on the National Parks and emphasized the need to protect these parks, which were included in the General Welfare clause of the Constitution. The social studies department held debates between Federalists and anti-Federalists, let students sign a mock constitution and displayed pictures of founders of the signing of the Constitution. Even the physical education department contributed, showing students games of the colonial era. Other activities included a National Teach-in Day which gave teachers a chance to focus on specific aspect of the Constitution and the time period in which it was signed. StuCo also encouraged mass participation by declaring a red, white and blue dress-up day. lncentives in the form of extra-credit points were even given by some teachers to students who complied with StuCo's request. The best thing about the Festival of Citizenship was the way it ran so smoothly, said Mrs. Mickey Bogart, the project coordinator. This was the best thing to bring our school together. There was plenty of student participation. 10 Festival of Citizenship tts u. immune' ii X ..,... . 5 S
