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.

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.

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! Junior Tracy Buncich takes time out before the Homecoming Parade to pose for a picture.
