MHS had it all in ‘85. The winning tradition started with the beginning of school and changes for the better took place. After two months of school, students were informed of the undercover officer that was placed in MHS as a student as part of a drug investigation. The results of the investigation caused MHS to close it’s campus at lunch. “The closed campus policy seemed to upset a lot of people at first, but we all knew that it was for the better.” stated Tim O’Shea, junior. The winning tradition continued through Homecoming Week with the “Battle of Broadway”. Mike Shayotovich, senior, stated, “The spirit this year was great. The team really fired up at the community pep session!” Clubs were winners, too. “Being in a club gives you something to do if you’re bored after school and have nothing to do,” stated Karen Ector, senior. The winning year ended with graduation. Seniors waited anxiously all year for the time they’ve longed for: graduation. Cheryl Graeber, Senior Class president, commented, “Our class has gone through a lot together, and we’re all pretty close. 1 know we all can’t wait to graduate and go our separate ways.” Everything MHS students did proved that we were winners. Academics, Sports, Activities. It’s all here! 6 It’s All Here
