It was with this goal that we attempted to record for you everything that happened at Mercedes High during the 1968-69 school year. Many things happened-some were happy and some were sad. They form, nevertheless, part of our school year. As you look through the yearbook, you will find a little of everything and even a part of yourself. In the years to come, when you pick up the 1968-69 Bengal, you will find yourself reliving that 'Wonderful Year . THE BENGAL STAFF The I 969 Bengal Mrs. Livia Tidwell Mrs. Tidwell is the girl's physical education teacher, pep squad director, and cheerleader sponsor. She is also one of the most loyal fans that the TIGERS have. Mr. Hatley is assistant principal, athletic director for MHS, and the varsity football coach. Salutes Mr. Dale Hatley In deciding upon the dedication, the Bengal Staff was faced with one question: What two faces at Mercedes High School most personify the school and the spirit that sustains it. We didn't have to look far for the answer. Mrs. Livia Tidwell, teacher and pep squad director, is a woman whose face is familiar to all of us. So is Mr. Dale Hatley's, athletic director and coach. We have seen these two faces reflect many moods. We have seen elation there, the elation that comes with a hard-earned victory. We have seen the disappointment of defeat. We have seen leadership and good sportsmanship, backed by the determination to come out victorious. And always we have seen there a true love for Mercedes High and its TIGERS. It is because of these qualities and others that we dedicate the 1969 Bengal to you, Mrs. Tidwell, and to you, Mr. I-Iatley. The 1969 Bengal Staff Sandra Champion, editor September Begin As school begins students chat with friends between classes. September . . .a new year begins. I don't want a study hallj' and I want to get out early, were quotes heard as students registered and started classes. September was filled with many outstanding events: our first pep rally, the presentation of the cheerleaders for their activities and loyalty to MHS. The month was long, and everyone soon settled down to a daily routine . . .looking ahead with anticipation to future events in OUR WONDERFUL YEAR. 'Z' stif f , .L . get Nr ak ,. . gf f ff ., a sf..

Most of the 1969 Seniors will either be married by 1973 or will be finishing their college education. The majority of them thought the world will be in the same situation as it is today. Well, whatever the world situation will be in 1973, the graduating class of ,69 will strike to make this world a better place to live. The four questions which they were asked are: 1. Where do you think you will be in 1973? 2. Do you think you will be married by 1973? 3. In what situation do you think the world will be in 1973? 4.

The situation will be the same as today, but that is only if there isn't a war that will do away with al of us, I would like to see an improvement of the rules. I would also like to see the students dress as they please so long as their dress is decent and pro er. The students should decide for themselves how they want to laook. Esther Sanchez: I'll be in Weslaco and most likely married. The world situation will be much the same. I would like to see windows in the classrooms and exemptions for all classes. Matcelim Sauceda: I hope that by 1973 I'11be in a bigger city.I doubt very seriously that I'll be married, but maybe I will. The world situation will be about the same. I would like to see the cafeteria and new auditorium built at the new high school, and if possible a snack bar. Glenn Stewart: By 1973 I'll be in the Marines. I probably won't be married. The world will either be at absolute peace or in a world war. There won't be any inbetween. I'd like to see bettea' vocational facilities and up-to-date books. Nancy Swain: In 1973 I hope I will be living in an apartment in either Houston or San Antonio. If all goes well, I would like to have just aduated from collegf. I hope that I won't be, but I have a feefring that I will be. I t ink the world will be in a bigger mess than it is now. The world is too far one now to start changing for the better. By 1973, I hope that the rest ofthe school will be finished. I also ho e that some the teachers will be chanfed. The main thing I woulzflike to see is the Senior Parking Lot inished. Trent Taylor: By 1973 I'll be in college and not married. The world situation will be about the same. I would not like to see any changes at Mercedes High School. iii f-.i I-if ' ' 3 f get Senior Achievements Juana Alvarez: FHA: CYO: Perfect Attendance Award.
