‘One of a Kind’ beginning for MHS Our school is definately “One of a Kind.” Many changes and new things were added to make it unique in 1983. For example, MHS has recently developed a way to welcome their incoming sophomores. A Big Brother and Big Sister club was organized to eliminate the negative feelings students often experience. According to Paul Schuyler, principal, “The idea was originally suggested during a Quest retreat last year.” Sophomore orientation was the day chosen to put Big Brother and Big Sister into effect. Exactly 400 underclass- men and 56 upperclassmen participated. Laura Kapitan, sophomore, said, “The upper- classmen were very helpful.” Also, MHS has a new type of student I.D. “These I.D.’s serve many purposes,” said Tom Herbert, assistant principal. They are for athletic passes, smoking permits and correctly identifying students. Bill Kostantios, senior, stated, “I think they are stupid. I feel like I’m in prison.” “They are a hassle,” added Shelly Knopf, junior. Some students felt differently. Becky Forsythe, senior, thought “the new I.D.’s were necessary and useful.” Villarreal Brian Bardeso.i, junior, shows that MHS is “One of a Kind” at the 1982 play-off pep session. One of the drum majors, Tim Runholt, leads the MHS band as thy play the school song on Parent’s Night. 2 One Of A Kind Another new policy greeting all students was restricted halls during lunch hours. The administrators at MHS wanted a place where students could gather without disturbing classes. Herb Tolman, senior, said, “The restricted areas are stupid and I wish things would have been handled differently.” Yet, not all students thought it was a bad idea. Paula Vessely, senior, said, “It’s a good idea because the people in class don’t get disturbed, but the school should give the students a little more freedom.” Vincent
