The concern for the lack of communication between various groups brought about this program. Letters were sent to various students asking them to attend the first meeting. Mary Stanton, senior, was one of many students asked to attend. She said, “I thought it was about time that the students of this school were all together and not in separate cliques.” Trish Schreiner, senior, said, “I hope Operation Pride will get the school united. Sophomores, juniors and seniors should feel as one instead of separate.” In ’82-83 MHS was “One of a Kind” because of all the new equipment in many different areas. The math and science departments added a new computers. Also, the business department has more word processors and IBM computers than any other school around here.
