Everyday on the campus students were seen comparing notes and discussing their different classes. During classes and at the end of 9 week grading periods, students were seen studying and cramming for tests. During the course of the day student ' s minds began to wander. Their thoughts turned to weekend dates, club activities, and parties. Brief moments between classes found the juniors discussing the refreshment plans for their post-game parties and upcoming activities such as the Prom and Junior Class Play. These five minute passing periods gave stu- dents a chance to rush to another class with friends or to pause and chat. Hurrying to class, Artesians struggled to open their lockers, while trying to juggle an armload of books. MHSer ' s in the annex building found them- selves running an obstacle course on rainy days. Buckets were placed beneath leaks in the ceiling to catch the drips. Most freshmen and sopho- more homerooms were located in the annex, as were most of their classes. Schedules at MHS were usually quite simple, but many students had classes in each of the four buildings of the high school. On rainy and snowy days, MHSer ' s dashed between the build- ings slipping and sliding, while trying to keep from getting wet or cold. Every year someone takes a spill running between the buildings. Drizzle, snow rush slow students to buildings During MHS ' s spirit rallying session, Stomp Our Warren Central Day was established. Junior Frank Rogers wore his Twinkle Toe shoes to prove that he believed in his team. Some people would have trouble finding the floor during the five minutes and before school, but contrary to popular belief it is there and people do walk on it. 10
