Five hundred and eighty Junior High For the academically inclined, the return to school was a happy reunion with books, teachers, and homework. For others it was a re- luctant parting from summer play and relaxa- tion. Regardless of their feelings in the matter, they came—five hundred and eighty Junior Tigers — from the five elementary schools in the McComb Public School System — to compose the Junior High School student body. Old and new, they trooped back to tackle their studies with renewed enthusiasm, and Junior High seemed bursting with action. A desire to be- long, an eagerness to participate, and a willing- ness to share in the activities of their school made the Year of the Tiger a memorable one for Junior High. Tigers share an action packed building.

Through the year we work together Outstanding at MHS is the spirit of coopera- tion in which students and faculty work together. What student is not heartened on a dark day by a friendly smile from a schoolmate or a word of praise from a teacher? And what teacher is not encouraged by an extra word of thanks at the end of a hard day? Without this cooperation we could have no scholastic achievement, no football or basketball games, no class plays, no clubs, no homecoming; in fact, we could not have had the Year of the Tiger. It takes more than a building to make a school. It takes people — people who are willing to stick together, to work together under all cir- cumstances. We at MHS have these ingredients in the composition of our school. “This is woman’s work,’ mutter seniors Johnny Dykes, Shorty Johns, and Dan Magruder on locker clean-out day.
