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.

One of the students ' main social activities is the in- formal mixers which are held after most home foot- ball and basketball games. As the two senior intramural teams clash, Dave Brack- eniyre gets off a jump shot. Students enjoyed many extra-curricular activities students participated in many school ac- tivities aside from their daily classes. There was always good participation at the school mixers after home football or basket- ball games. The students met at the mixer af- ter games and had good times. They were al- ways joyful; maybe a little more so after some games than others. All mixers were well cha- peroned and conducted. Wednesday nights were the nights the in- tramural basketball players looked forward to for plenty of vigorous exercise and whole- some recreation. Win or lose, everyone was as- sured a good time. The boys were given the op- portunity to improve their playing while de- veloping better sportsmanship. The students were also greatly interested in the Fall Foliage Festival, for at that time the Homecoming Queen, Diane Hillman, was crowned; and several MHS ' ers were either in the parade or helped prepare for it. Extra-curricular activities of the high school students were many and varied. Homecoming Queen Diane Hillman receives a com- memorative charm bracelet from senior class vice- president, Jim McLary.
