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..

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
