Our Home Unlike most American nomes, which mainly consisted of three bedrooms, wo baths, and a two car garage, our house was made Up of ninety-five rooms, wenty-one bathrooms, and six hundred and six parking spaces. Like most families we ad a television, but we didn't ust have one or two, we had seventy-five. We also had 'ypewriters, copy machines, computers, labs, video ecorders and even a weight room. Though we truly lived in a luxurious home, we spent more than ninety percent of our time here. We spent from eight twenty-five until three thirty in these classrooms. Because of sports, clubs, and other extra-curricular activities, many of us spent the early mornings and late evenings within the walls of MHS. So, in many ways, this was our home.
