Mr. Molleker felt that everyone should take a course that would introduce them to the computer. Evidently students agreed because enrollment in this class was up com- pared to previous years. The course that MHS offered was more of a programming course and was recommended for students who had previously taken Algebra. The class was never dull. The students en- joyed keeping track on the board of how many mistakes Mr. Molleker made and Molleker’was constantly becoming ''tang tonguled. Computer is a fun class and since everything is becoming computerized, it's beneficial to get the experience now so you'll have it after you graduate. commented junior. Richard Genandt.

New Course Keys Business Department Success The keyboard no longer referred to the piano during the year at MHS. The business department added to the curriculum with the required Keyboard Machines course. This class involved working with the typewriter, the ten-key adding machine and the microcomputer. Bill Pickering and Helen Rez- nicek, business instructors, both felt that learning keyboard skills with different types of machines helped all students to cope with a future centered around computers. According to Mr. Pickering. General Business is an excellent course for freshmen and sophomores. Everyone planning to go into a business-related field should unders- tand the business and economic environment in which we live and work. General Business helped students develop an understanding of our business system and the economic setting in which we function. Mrs. Reznicek was also the Business Math and Typing II instructor. Reznicek believed that all students should enroll in Business Math because it deals with the math everyone will use in day-to-day living after graduating from high school.

w V Class of '85 It takes — it takes — it takes a little more to be a J-U-N-l-O-R. a Junior! And the doss of '85 possessed that little extra it took to be a Junior in the 1983-'84 school year. Class spirit was strong, and during Queen of Courts Spirit Week it really explod- ed. Junior class cheers, posters, streamers, balloons, and participation in spirit days' ac- tivities won the Spirit Stick for the elated Juniors. In the Old Settlers' Day float contest, the Juniors tasted the thrill of victory for the se- cond year in a row. Their float, featuring Snoopy and the title Snoopy and MHS are Going Places, captured the $50 first-place prize. Planning the Junior-Senior banquet and prom was a huge task, but it was met with determination, creativity, and responsibility. In the fall, candy bars were sold to finance the special occasion. The real work began in early January with planning and organizing, leading up to decorating and last-minute preparations for the night. Many class members, under the leadership of class president Brenda Berg, worked to make the 1984 Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom a memory worth keeping. It was a special class to Mrs. Mary Grif- fith, Jr. English teacher, who thought the Juniors were a close class with a lot of school spirit. They like to joke and have fun, but are supportive and sincere when necessary, she noted. Like their class motto, It's not the size of the man in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the man, the class of '85 had that 'little more' it took to be a Junior. Closs Officers: Brenda Berg.
