HOMECOMING WEEK-WHAT A WEEK TO REMEMBER Homecoming Week is usually a week that is always remembered, and this year was no exception. Every- thing and anything that could have happened did happen. There was never a dull moment during the week. Knowing how Mondays usually are, you wouldn't have dreamed it was Monday if you had walked into the .halls of MCHS. The school spirit was everywhere. Everybody was excited about the up-and-coming week. If you had entered MCHS, you would have thought you were in an executive building because everyone was dressed up. Students were wearing everything from ties to suspenders and from skirts and blouses to suits. This was because Monday was Dress-Up Day, and over half the school participated in the event. The Junior Class won the day with a higher percentage of students who dressed up. The individual winner was sophomore Belynda Hasty. 1 6 Homecoming

When you come into MCHS Wednesday, you could have sworn that you were back in the Old West, with all the rootin', tootin', shootin' cowboys. There was a little old lady who was running around the halls with a gun holding up people. We later found out it was the wild Grandma Catch the Wildcat Wave. Half-time entertainment Rose, played by Linda Rose, b Sarah Trimble who was dressed for Wednesday's Western Day. The students and the faculty were dressed in cowboy boots, six shooters, bonnets, handkerchiefs, and old-fashioned dresses. The Junior Class had the highest percentage of parti- cipants in Western Day. The individual winner was junior Bart Wells. ir—cr On Tuesday morning MCHS was beginning to change. The classes began to put posters, signs, and sayings up in their class's hall. The biggest change in the school came when some new students ap- peared at MCHS. The new students looked like things that came out of the movie Revenge of the Nerds. The new students were Nerds ! We later found out they weren't new students at all, but old students who were dressed like nerds because Tuesday was Nerd Day. The students and faculty both dressed up on this day. They wore the ugliest clothes they could find, black-rimmed glasses, pocket protectors, and mismatched shoes. The class that had the highest percentage to participate that day was the Junior Class again. The student nerd of all nerds was Senior Oscar Brewer. The faculty nerd of all nerds was Mr. John P. Mayer. B. J. Ledford led the crowd in spirit on Homecoming Night. The outside temperature was about fifty degrees Thursday morning, but when you walked into the building, you would have sworn that the temperature must have been in the nineties because everyone was wearing shorts. Looking at the students in the school, you would have thought that you were in the Bahamas, Hawaii, Florida, or some other tropical place. But since Thursday was Hawaiian Day most of the student body was dressed in jams, tank tops, sunglasses, and sandals. To go along with their outfits, they had sunblock on their noses, and they were carrying radios. The Senior Class had the highest percentage of participants that day. The individual winner was a junior. Junior Williams. When Friday rolled around and you walked into MCHS, all you could see was green and white. Just about everybody had on green and white. The seniors and juniors tied with one hundred percent of their classes wear- ing green and white. The individual winner was Richard Murphy. Each class had decorated its hall in all kinds of ways. They displayed catchy sayings and unique posters. The sophomore hall won, and the senior hall got second. As Friday went on, you could really feel the school spirit building. The spirit finally came to a climax at the pep rally during seventh period. As students entered the gym, they were excited about the games that night between the Wildcats and Lions. The cheerleaders announced all the winners of the week. They then began yelling chants, and the crowd soon joined in. Then the spirit stick was brought out, and the classes began yelling their own class names. Each class took its turn, but the juniors won. The seniors didn't like having to go against a class twice their size, so they challenged any forty juniors to a yelling match. Before anyone knew what was going on, the whole crowd had 18 Homecoming
