To each student, the school had a separate personality, depending largely upon his own personality. Often students did small, seeming- ly unnoticed acts that led to large-scale im- provements. The cleaning of trophies and oil paintings, collecting of absence slips, and help- ing with class duties helped make MHS a more attractive and more efficient school. As a result, students often reaped benefits. The telephone booth in the hall proved very important in case of student emergencies. Stu- dents were often seen there, frantically plead- ing with Mother to bring a forgotten gym suit, or requesting a ride home in a rainstorm. Although everyone may not realize it, the clinic located in the Junior High Schol building is one of the advantages of our school. In ad- dition to everyday cases, the clinic nurses con- ducted tests. These included eye tests, hearing tests, and patch tests. Three-hundred and seven sophomores received vision screening and hear- ing tests. Two-hundred juniors wore patches for three days in a tuberculosis test.

It was very well received by the students and faculty, as both the individual acting and the choirs' singing was exceptional, All the school was encouraged to participate in Tramp Day, and so the school was trans- formed on the day before Halloween. Tramps, beatnicks, Hawaiians, and just plain old bums could be seen in the halls.
