The chemise, of course, commonly referred to as the sack, When not working at their various part time jobs- everything from flooding skating rinks to ushering at our local theaters- students at MHS found time to relax and enjoy outdoor sports and other forms of entertain- ment. Name bands and popular rock 'n' roll singers attracted many students to the Kato Ballroom. All of these activities helped to make our MHS school life interesting.
