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.

Maybe it’s a string cf math problems, a lab report, or a task in bookkeeping. Another time it’s a memorization assignment—a list of new French words, a group of shorthand symbols, or a poem by Shake- speare. Math problems change, but homework goes on. Sometimes we balk at the heavy as- signment—but then we realize that homework gives an individual an opportunity to work at his own pace; it helps cover necessary educa- tional ground; and it aids in gaining essential self discipline and study habits.
