D. Brackemyre, A. Darr, C. Bidwell, D. Johnston, and D. Champlin attended Boys ' State this year. Local service organizations sponsored five girls to Girls ' State: L. Kirk, N. Ewing, S. Hinson, J. Corder, and C. Cline. MHS students were rewarded for their hard work Many MHS students worked diligently to- ward high goals to achieve scholastic honors. For several, the fruit of their labor was the honor of attending Boys ' State or Girls ' State. While attending these institutes the students did and learned much: they even held mock elections with offices as high as governor of the State. The freshmen were rewarded for their superior work with medals and recogni- tion from the National Honor Society. Each in- dividual earned his honors, and was com pelled to work even harder because of it. Sandy Hinson, this year ' s DAR award win- ner, competed with other Morgan County school winners. She was the selected recipient of the county DAR Good Citizen award. There was always stiff competition in the school ' s queen contests. It is a cherished honor to be chosen the one who reigns. The candi- dates were judged and elected for their per- sonality and achievements as well as their beauty. Occasionally a Miss and Mister or Aunt and Uncle were ci ' owned at a dance. Sandy Hinson is presented with the DAR award by Mrs. Helen Davis, dean of girls.

There were many dances, formal and informa Linda iVIason. Jinda Marple, Dave McFailand, and Pam Allen prepare for the Pressman ' s Hop by making posters and cutting out decorations. School organizations and clubs sponsor sev- eral dances each school year. These dances vary in formality of dress and in theme. The decorations are usually elaborate and exten- sive, and fully conveyed the theme planned. The theme of the Christmas Dance was Kandy Kane Lane, and was sponsored by the GAA. Etta Hicks and Maurice Bales reigned as Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. Santa Claus. The Valentine Dance was sponsored by both the Sunshine Society and Hi-Y. The informal Pressman ' s Hop was under the sponsorship of the school ' s publication staffs. The Junior-Senior Prom is eagerly awaited each year. The juniors put much time and work into the decorations and preparations of the Prom. Everything had to be just so-so, for this was THE dance. The students had fun at their dances, and also enjoyed preparing for them. Various bands, local and otherwise, were scheduled for the dances. Etta Hicks and Maurice Bales, Miss Merry Christnsas and .Mr. Santa Claus, are presented gifts from the newspaper and yearbook staffs.
