They also presented a wonderful high-fidelity re- cord player to the school, which was used very often for chapel and other school functions. Parents' night was sponsored at the beginning of the year. Many of our parents came and attended our classes according to our schedules. They en- joyed the excitement of rushing to classes, as Well as learning the routine schedule of our life at school. Through the successful eflorts of our Parent-Teach- ers Association, our home and school have been brought closer together, and we have enjoyed many extra conveniences.

B-, M- Au Peabfldy College Students Enjoy, Study Fine Arts At MHS Our Fine Arts Department is composed of foreign languages, music, and the library. In foreign language, we are taught Latin and French. These subjects enable us to become better acquainted with our own language, since many of our words are derived from foreign languages. The choral department includes the Glee Club, Choraliers, and Girl's Chorus. An operetta and concert were given by members of these groups. The junior and senior band have provided much entertainment for us this year at football games, parades, and various other func- tions. Our librarian has taught us how to use our Library and its facilities during our study halls and before and after school. All these subjects have proved to be very helpful and enjoyable to us this year. Boyd McKeown Mrs. W. H. Glenn Robert Swiatek M. A., Peabody College M. A., Peabody College A.

ACTIVITIES All ol' our activities in clubs and athletic events have been swayed toward promoting interest in all school affairs. Clubs have done this by sponsoring citizenship campaigns. The Stu- dent Council has instituted Devil's Day , which will become an annual event. Its purpose is to make students realize the importance and value of keeping good school spirit. The students at MHS have always shown enthusiasm in sup- porting our school activities. This year has been one in which we, the students, have worked exceptionally hard to promote and maintain higher standards of achievement. This is one of the ways in which We build stronger characters and prepare ourselves to he better citizens in the future.
