Parents’ Night The parents of M.H.S. students were given a chance to relive their own school days on Parents' Night, which fell this year on November 13. In addition to reg- ular open house activities, our visitors were able to witness choir and band re- hearsals and demonstrations of physical education skills staged by students. As usual, refreshments were served in the cafeteria, and service club members acted as guides for bewildered parents. 15

Hush Day Our now traditional Hush Day ceremonies were conducted this year on November 7, the day before the Saratoga game. Football players and cheerleaders encouraged silence throughout most of the day by col- lecting fines from anyone caught speaking in the halls. In the afternoon, a pep rally was held in the gym to as- sure the team members of our support and to spur them on to victory over our rival. 14

Jk Ice Carnival” One of the highlights of the year was the winter fashion show and dance held at the Assumption Parish Hall on the sixteenth of November, for the benefit of the senior class. Cathy Urkevich served as com- mentator for the senior models, who wore outfits loaned by area stores. Seniors also comprised the re- freshments, decorating, advertising, and ticket com- mittees. The evening was proclaimed a success by all involved. 16
