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.

MHS Has Broad, Flexible Curriculum Miss Poole. the guidance director, shows Betty Belcher the results of the tests taken by MHS students. Ask any MHS student which course he takes and he'll answer campusology . But though we detest admitting it, we are proud of our school's high academic standing. We are all too well aware that each of our courses revolves around a sound educational philosophy and carries out a very definite purpose. MHS believes that the secondary school should maintain a Hexible curriculum that enables every pupil to explore, realize, and follow that pattern of learning best suited to his own needs. Our courses of study depicted on this page are designed to make this possible. The classroom activities, the dominant thoughts and ideas of all the school leaders are designed to guarantee the kind of education that will free young people from ignorance and make each student a useful and happy citizen at each successive stage of his de- velopment. The main educational objectives toward which MHS aims are physical alertness, mastery of tools, techniques, and the spirit of learningg achievement of worthier tastes, saner at- titudes, more gracious manners, and higher moralsg and development of a deeper faith in themselves, their fellow- men, and God. ,,,g4:w' ln our wcll-equipped lab, Elizabeth and Beverly are using Laura Smilh, MHS senior, records the speech that won her the inclined plane in a physics experiment.
