Enthusiastic Praise Was Given to the Plays and Concerts Received with praise and enthusiasm were the dramatical and musical presentations of the MHS students. After a lapse of three years, the choral students gave an operetta, which was re- ceived with warm approval. The choirs, band, and the orchestra presented a variety of music for the enjoyment of students at various programs. They were also in the public eye a number of times, and climaxed the year with the annual May Festival. , Ovations and laughter greeted the several plays of the year.
