Mr. Roger Hunt, director of the senior class play Bull in a China Shop, applies make-up to Jane Reese in preparation of the first performance. Helpfulness is an attribute of most MHSers. Teachers did their part by directing class plays, sponsoring clubs, chaperoning dances, and ad- vising publications. They also helped in a more personal way by explaining puzzling lessons and listening to problems. The seniors helped underclassmen by an- swering questions and introducing them to school rules. Even though their fellow school- mates were effervesing with helpfulness, a few experimentive students still managed to make mistakes. Being late to class always upset the tardv one, because three percent off an already low grade made it approach the danger zone. The fickle water fountain squirted many an un- suspecting guzzler, before they realized they should not pounce on the foot pedal. Books falling behind lockers, lost pencils and pens, and assignments, the big, red arrows, and the all-too-familiar detentions perhaps momen- tarily dampened the Artesian spirit of every- one. lf, .

High school students are right in the middle of this experience, They are not quite old enough to escape the constant prodding of parents and teachers, but old enough to share some responsibilities. This year the students found that a great deal of planning and work had to be done bee fore any activity could succeed. Students began to budget their time, allowing space for the more important things, and omitting others. Dance committees worked long hours to pre- pare the plans for their affairs. Play practices took much of the cast members' time, And the old reliable, homework, also had to be corn- pleted. But by experiencing trials and errors, hopes and fears, MHSers better appreciated the fun of attending the dances and of seeing the plays. And the feeling of satisfaction when you could answer a hard question and surprise the teach- er with your knowledge was worth the effort of getting your homework and forgetting your favorite TV program was about to begin.

Things that most students saw but never no- ticed were the many plaques which adorn our halls and campus. Another was the display case in the north hall which contained numer- ous athletic awards. Among these was the shav- ing mug. which this year was in the possesion of the Artesians at the expense of the Bloom- ington Panthers. Another familiar sight to most MHS students was the cafeteria. Part of eating at school was the Hracel' over and then the standing in line. On bad days students flocked to either of the gyms for protection. This vear. however, only seniors could come into the girls' gym. Both gyms offered recreation facilities or if you were tired there were the bleachers where you could just sit and talk, Jim Etchison and Jim Cure raise the flag each morn- ing as part of a Boy Scout service project.
