MUS is set apart from all other schools because students, faculty, and administrators encourage involvement. Traditions motivate responsibility in student government and community service projects. The physical plant has continued to expand, opening new channels for the pursuit of extra-curricular activities such as drama, photography, gymnastics, and tennis in addition to regular athletic teams. The competition inherent at MUS spurs on involvement in the classroom and in the sports arena. The spirit of camaraderie and school loyalty generated wherever MUS is involved creates the lasting ties formed by students between the seventh and the twelth grades. Constant involvement at MUS acts as a catalyst for helping boys mature into men.

Student involvement has come to be a tradition at MUS. The example has been set in past years, and no senior class wants to graduate without bettering the records. Students have always rallied for the March of Dimes Drive and the St. Jude ' s money-raising campaign. Has there been a year that an MUS fan could not yell We ' re No. 1 at some athletic event? The student council has always given a Christmas party for orphan girls. The Honor System has never failed to uphold the ideals of mutual trust and integrity. MUS has always taught respect for authority and love of God and country. An MUS student will always involve himself rather than see these traditions vanish through negligence.
