We put on the best homecoming ever with Kim as queen. We took exciting courses such as biology, health, and Sophomore English, and we suffered through lunch with the freshmen. For most of us, driving is near, and that means going out without parents coming along. Ordering our class rings was next. They provided us with memories from our future, past, and present years here at M.H.S. As usual, we took a class trip to Cedar Point and await the fun times as juniors.

They had to learn to live through a day without recess, bathroom period, and to memorize the names of the Greek and Roman Gods. They had a Halloween and Christmas dance, and they experienced the thrill of going to Canteen. This year was the first of many high school memories to come.
