Meatio n It is with great pleasure and sincere appreciation that the yearbook staff dedi- cates this 1953 issue of the Hornet to our Parents. Few realize the patience and under- standing they have shown us throughout our four years of high school. fte fully understand and are willing to fulfill to the utmost the gargantuan duties that lie before us. W.e, as we now bid fare- well to dear old MHS, pray that all our par- ents acts in their remaining years be re- ceived with such gratification as they were by us students.
