EVENTS Involved. The MUS community is involved in sports, dramatics, artistic expression, jobs, girls, parties, community services, and support at athletic contests. Few students, even at a school as small as MUS, can participate in all the events. The important thing is that there are a wide range of events at MUS to satisfy student needs and interests. From freak to jock each person can find a school activity to which to attach himself and become more a part of the school community. 11

ElfGlN Parties, Birdie, and Graduation Leave Students Reeling Election parties, Bye-Bye Birdie, and the senior ' s anticipation of graduation combined for exciting spirit during the spring. The elections provided the traditional week of mass hysteria and revelry for which it has become famous. Music, candy, and politics were thrown at the students until they could only reel from the shock. Dreary halls were turned into a kaleidoscope of posters. Even SAT ' s were unable to calm the atmosphere as parties continued on the night before the Exam. Bye-Bye Birdie corresponded perfectly with the nostalgia craze which was rapidly gaining popularity. Birdie was one of the best attended plays in MUS history with four sell-outs. Anticipation of graduation gave to seniors a sense of freedom and wistfulness. There was the long- awaited freedom from high school routine and the mystery of college. As their last few weeks ground to a close, seniors cracked down one last time in hopes of pulling grades high enough for exam exemption. Unfortunately, Graduation did not release the rest of the school; and several slow weeks in anticipation of summer passed before Exams were finally over. In the MUS tradition, Charles Stockley offers a final inducement as he campaigns for the office of Secretary. 12
