Remember When Remember when it came to be. Nestled among a cloud-filled sea. The colors shining brightly for all to see. Stimulating the soul of a dream filled me. Remember when you first saw that sight. Standing amidst a blackened light. An end to a day of sunshine bright. Wakening to the serenity of a new-born night. Remember when the joys of yesterday. Filled the halls from September to May. Sprinkling reminders of many thoughtless ways. Only to say good-bye. the price we all must pay. Remember when you will leave this place. Heading for the human race. A new beginning at a new found pace. Leaving memories only you can trace. Remember rainbows that cheer you when you’re blue. Sunsets and sunrises that will always rule. M.H.S. was once there too, ' Guiding you IN SEARCH OF YOU . . . — R. Hankins

In Search of Identity We came to M.H.S. from all parts of the community, from different backgrounds, the young, the old, and male or female for one common purpose; to search for identi- ty- In searching we have met with each other, exchanging ideas, values and dreams, if even for a moment. We have realized how our lives are influenced by little things — friendly smiles and simple hello’s. They all seem to make our days seem worth it all. M.H.S. has seen us, felt us, and touched us. A part of us will always be here. We all have done our own things . . . played sports, danced, drank, fought with friends, made new ones, and exper- Cheerleader captain Lynne Sherrin presents the 1981 Homecoming Queen.

Our joys of today will someday be replaced by better things. Our memories will be sweet, but also we have realized there is too much to learn. What we adopt on our own is what we will learn. We know we are a whole volume of experiences, with many sorted people. We now look into the fu- ture, trying to preserve the past. People have come and people have gone. People have grown and so will we, for we are individuals with individual ideas. We know where we have been and where we are, but still we know not where we will be going. Life’s path will lead in many directions, and if by chance we happen on the wrong road we will turn back to start again. But now we are on the road that can take us anywhere. When we look back at M.H.S., we will realize that M.H.S. molded our lives and made us what we are and will always be . . . you . . . nique!
