XRI. I.. K-R.XH.XM liintipal ol' lhe High Sch: This volume marks a turning point in the history ol' your school. It reviews the glorious traditions of MHS. ln many cases, your parents and grandparents passed this way before you, making their contributions to a school now four-score years of age. Your elders have sensed the immeasurable value ol' ed- ucation and have assumed the task of providing you the best ol learning facilities. XVe know that you appreciate their sacrihces enabling you to enjoy a school program denied the youth in many connnunities. The future of your school points to a dual highway. In one lane will be a junior high school, giving younger teen-agers privileges ol' leadership and responsibility not available in a six-year system. Theirs is the chance to explore, to learn of their strengths and weaknesses, to lay the groundwork for more specific pursuits at the next educational level. The second lane will be a senior high school, giving final preparation for adult roles in our connnunity and, in some cases, lor continued higher education. lixpand- ed physical facilities will provide greater opportunities than have been possible in the past. May this book be a treasury of memories lor the class of 1957 and a beckoning door ol' new experiences and privileges lor all undergraduates. CH,XRl.liS li.
