Homecoming Brings a Spirited Week Colored leaves, crisp fresh air, the ringing of bands in parades, and the excitement of the football season mark the highlights of fall and the coming of the homecoming season. Homecoming week, 1968, started off with gaily poster-covered walls. Go Bulldogs! Sink the Pirates! papered every space and floor of MHS. From freshmen to seniors, students racked their brains for time and talents to win the Spirit lug for their efforts in decorating their assigned floors. Tuesday was watch the arms day for the sign of crossbones. During the day, when two people met in the halls, the first to cross his index fingers could legally punch his friend in the arm. It turned into what some students thought of as a painful experience. Tension arose among the girls on Wednesday with the announcement of the queen candidates. Starting the day off at 8 a.m., cheers came from the flagpole as the Bulldogs spirit flag was raised. The Pep Band was there leading yelling students with Onward Bulldogs and Beer, Beer. When the cheerleaders had shouted out the last words of VICTORY, students retired to the halls as the Dixie Grays filled the floors with blaring sounds of victory songs. During Friday nights game, majorette Kathy Atkins fright! urges the Bulldogs to Go get 'em!

Tradition Molds '69 Homecoming With Thursday came the excitement of the tradi- tional bonfire That night, students filled the gym for a rousing pep assembly ending with the twisting, twining of the snake dance to the bonfire. As snap- ping sparks came from the fire, fans yelled, sang, and danced to boost the mighty Bulldogs on to vic- tory. Spirit reached a peak the next day at the close of school with a pep assembly in the gym. Queen candi- dates received mum corsages, cheerleaders jumped, and students screamed with pride. The end of the assembly found the walls echoing V-I, V-I, V-I-C-T, T-O, T-O, T-O-R-Y as students poured out the door to join the Homecoming parade. Pep Squad tried to form straight lines, candidates balanced themselves on convertibles, and floats maneuvered into proper order as the parade started down Curtis Street toward town. As night approached, so did the unseasonably cold weather with the mercury going down to a shivering 40 degrees. Flanking the Bulldog mural stretched across the goal posts, girls dressed in red and white lined a path on both sides to the players' benches. Confetti flew everywhere as the Bulldogs dashed through the mural to start the forty-firsttraditional home- coming game. Half-time activities featured the queen coronation with john Willer, director of the Dixie Grays, as master of ceremonies. Despite the 28-0 score in favor of the Pirates which had dampened the hopes of Mexico fans, home- coming spirit still danced to the music'of the Palace Guard Saturday night as they honored Queen Betty Fuemmeler and her court.

Chosen earlier in the week by popular vote of the student body, Queen Betty and her four attendants had first been selected by the football squad. The five senior girls, Cathy Freeman, Terry Hoer, Gail Moore, Kathy O'Blennis and Betty, had appeared the week before in an assembly with their escorts who had introduced them to the student body. The escorts, Dwight Rahmeyer, Alan Van Wyn- garden, Mark Beshears, Phil Van Horn, and Steve Erdel, made campaign speeches for each of their candidates. With the election the next day, the long week of waiting for October 'I8 began. At halftime, the Dixie Grays formed the traditional M , outlined by the Pep Squad, into which the can- didates were escorted. Robert Hall, an alumni of the honored graduation class of '53, escorted Sheila Cox, the retiring queen, who crowned Betty. After her announcement as queen, Betty received an autographed football from the Bulldogs, an en- 'graved charm presented by the Student Council, an M from the M-Club, and a dozen long-stemmed red roses from the Pep Squad. Student Council Members Recruit for Blood Donors Successful recruiting of Red Cross blood donors, the traditional Christmas Party for selected children and abandonment of plans for a youth center high- lighted the year's activities for.the Student Coun- cil, under the sponsorship of Miss Betty Baker and Byard Cosch. Reaching their goal of 'I7 donors, Student Council members competed against each other in securing signatures of Mexicoans to give blood in the Febru- ary 14 Red Cross Blood Drive. Vickie Berger with six names and Kathy Atkins with four were named winners ofthe contest. The Student Council's annual Christmas party brought games, refreshments, prizes, fun and, of course, Santa Claus to 40 grade children. Because of the lack of enthusiasm among stu- dents, the cost of building, and the lack of an ap- propriate location, the Student Council voted in April to drop plans begun last year to organize a Youth Center for Mexico. The Council voted to leave the money raised for the project, over S700 to be used next year as members of the new council see fit I To end the busy year, members of Student Coun- cil, alternates, guests, and sponsors attended the traditional spring picnic at Plunkett Park.

C. member, chants Bury the Pirates. Esther Honored as First Swiss Alumna The arrival of Esther Traber from Switzerland at MHS in September was an exciting moment for everyone. Esther lived with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mc- Intosh and their daughter Sara, a junior, for approxi- mately one school year. Esther, sponsored by the International Student Ex- change program, was active in many MHS activities. An honorary member of Student Council, she assisted in many of the projects which they spon- sored throughout the year. Esther was also a member of Pep Squad, Brush and Palette, and Literary Club. She traveled to St. Louis a number of times on trips with various clubs. Traveling with the Art Club, she visited various museums and special art ex- hibits. She also attended Cabaret , which the Liter- ary Club had sponsored, at the American Theater. Like all MHS students though, Esther enjoyed being a member of Pep Squad and cheering the Bull- dogs onto victory. Until Esther became accustomed to life at MHS, she attended classes with Sara. Eventually she was given a schedule centered around her own interests. Being a member of Senior Girl Scouts kept Esther busy. She was constantly asked to speak to various civic groups around town. Describing her country, her school life, how she was chosen as an exchange student, and her trip to America were among her main topics. Esther, along with Marta Carrasco, was chosen to present the program at Girl Scout Thinking Day. Many tears filled the eyes of MHS students as Esther received the first diploma ever presented to a foreign exchange student at our school. They were tears of pride, and of sadness, because the diploma was symbolic of the completion of Esther's work at MHS. The students would miss her, but her influence would forever be felt by all those whose lives she had touched. Esther had graduated from MHS, but would always be in our hearts-our first international alumna. Preparing to receive her diploma-the first for a foreign exchange student-Esther marches into the gym for commencement exer- cises.

Student Life 25 nun , ..,L, , Q Arriving in Smiles, They Leave in Tears Maria, Christina, and Marta arrived in january wreathed in smiles and grew to be a part of the spirit of MHS. Maria Rubina, whose host family was the Norman Schoeppels, Christina Cruz, who lived with the Rex Easterlings, and Marta Carrasco whose family for the ten week period was the Kenneth lenners, were sponsored by the International Student Ex- change program. They came from Chile, bringing with them a deep desire to contribute to a better knowledge and understanding between the two Americas. The delightful trio enjoyed being members of the Pep Squad and Spanish club, and taking part in the day-by-day routine of Mexico High. They presented authentic Chilean dances and showed slides for civic organizations, attended con- certs and plays, were surprised by birthday parties, cooked native dishes, had dates, and proved that, though the customs and culture of Chile and the USA might be different in some ways, teen-fun is universal. Having ISE students from Chile at MHS from january through March was a story with a happy ending-despite the tears when the girls left-one that has widened the horizons for MHS students.

Audiences Clive M Fair Lad Standing vations Neither troubles with paper costumes nor break- ing backdrops stopped My Fair Lady , this year's musical, from receiving standing ovations twice dur- ing its three-night run. Mr. and Mrs. Gary Heyde co-directed MHS's budding actors, with Kathy O'Blennis aiding as a student director. john T. Clark assisted by Alan Snook, chairman of the construction crew, engi- neered the building of a miniature London for the background. Most ofthe My Fair Lady costumes, including the troublesome paper ones, were made for the first time at MHS by a costume committee headed by Gail Moore and Donna Shrader. Professor Higgins lPat VanHornl began the action of My Fair Lady by betting Colonel Pickering iPhil VanHornl that he could teach Eliza Doolittle tSally Seigfreidl, a poor Cockney flower girl, to speak English well enough to pass her off as a dutchess. After months of torture learning properf' English, she passed as royalty at the ball. Elated by their suc- cess, Col. Pickering and Prof. Higgins gave Eliza no credit for her work. In anger, she left Higgins who insisted he was happy to see that she had gone. In the end, Higgins realized he'd grown accustomed to her face. Rod Allen, Chester Trotter, Steve Leeper, Linda Snook, Mark Ward, Rhonda Reading, Terry Meek, lim Forbis, and Duane Duchesne played supporting roles.

Cut-outs of Buddhas and other oriental figures covered the Armory walls, casting a spell over the dancers as they enjoyed the music of Paul lohnson's orchestra. A papier-mache elephant, a small fountain, and stately palms helped the guests feel they were indeed surrounded by an aura of the magic of Man- dalay. Mothers of juniors served soft drinks, ribbon sand- wiches, cookies, and a fruit medley. Preceding the prom, juniors and seniors attended a banquet in the cafeteria.

D D Proud Moments in Academics Proud Moments. Are they important? Remember when... Your English theme was selected tops Yours was the highest grade On an Algebra test, Your touchdown won the game, Or that portrait in Art class Brought high recognition. The opportunities are many at MHS, And to seize all opportunities ls the highest goal. More classrooms, more knowledge, The destruction of the old, The unfinished promise of the future, The outward expression Of innerthought, The agony of the imperfect form, The desire to know, And to explore the established facts. The transferring of ideals From thought to reality All combine to form These Proud Moments. Board Discusses ew Middle School Planning for a new middle school in the future, the School Board, under the direction of Dr. Ben N. jolly, president, purchased the north twenty acres of the Audrain County Fair Grounds as a site. The new middle school, designed to accommo- date the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, will re- place Hardin lunior High School, located on South jefferson Street. Classes in the new Area Vocational Technical School, planned by the Board in previous years, opened simul- taneously with the high school on September 3. Eighteen courses for high school students and twelve courses for post-graduate students interested in the technical and vocational fields offered training in areas ranging from vocational agriculture to child care. As a group, the board adopted policies for the schools' operation to be carried out by the superin- tendent, his staff, and instructors. 7968-1969 SCHOOL BOARD: Lawrence M.

Lowry, anticipated, planned, and waited for the results of a re-evaluation by the North Central Association in February. Thirty-three college professors and teachers from the surrounding area spent three days at MHS inspect- ing the physical plant, teaching facilities, and quality of instructions. Along with planning for the North Central visit to MHS, Mr. Lowry attended the annual meeting of the organization held in Chicago March 21-27. In addition, Mr. Lowry still found time to perform his usual duties which ranged from purchasing sup- plies and equipment to ordering books. Assistant Principal Byard Gosch, who completed another busy year, handled disciplinary problems, scheduled events, kept MHS's calendar, and also became involved in student activities. In December, Mr. H. O. Tolson arrived to fill the new post of administrative assistant. In addition to his duties as student counselor, Mr. Tolson taught three classes of World History. ls this the job of the administration? asks Mr. Gosch, as he em- ploys the help of senior Gary Fennewald. fright?

Supervision and responsibility for all departments and divisions of the six public schools in the Mexico area was a full-time job for the head administrator. In addition to taking care of the general administra- tion, Mr. Thomas was in charge of teacher recruitment and the hiring of several new teachers for each of the schools. Assistant Superintendent joseph Hodgin, who also served as administrator of Garfield elementary school, was in charge of curriculum and instruction for the Mexico Public School system. As director of curriculum, he supervised the entire instructional program including courses to be offered as well as grade placement for these courses.

WW 3 ffice, Counseling Staffs Aid Students With the basic purpose of helping students, MHS counselors involved themselves with student prob- lems. These problems were divided into three basic areas: educational, vocational, and personal. 1. R. Houchins worked with students enrolled in the vocational and technical school while lim Musick, lim lnlow, and H. O. Tolson counseled other MHS students. Using the testing program, the counselors de- termined the educational and vocational needs of each individual student. Included in these were the Missouri Testing program, aptitude tests and scholarship tests. To aid in finding each student's interest, the counseling staff sponsored College night December 7, where each student discussed his future plans and vocation with representatives from approximately 40 different colleges and vocational schools. The secretarial staff, composed of Mrs. Betty Spangler, Mrs. Marjorie Flick, Mrs. Dixie Hall, Mrs. loan Volkmer, and Mrs. Joyce Smith, prepared transcripts, class rank, activity lists, and even character analyses for seniors. Underclassmen found the secretaries ready with answers on every phase of school life from season tickets for football games to excused absences. Along with helping the students, the office staff aided the administration and faculty, by preparing and printing the morning bulletin, typing and mimeo- graphing tests and study sheets, and checking and recording attendance, in addition to routine sec- retarial work. l'LL show you how easy it is says junior john DiBlasi as sopho- more Ellen Williams admires his feat. fright! Busily typing college applications, Mrs. Marjorie Flick completes another day at MHS. Academics 61 3 Teachers Tour Foreign Countries Cultures from as far away as the British Isles and Europe, to the country of Mexico and our own state of Hawaii, helped students grasp a more mean- ingful knowledge of peoples and their customs this year, as three MHS teachers returned from trips made during their summer vacations. The three, Mrs. Sally Bailey, Miss loyce Chrisman, and Mrs. Lois lllingworth, varied their activities from sight-seeing on educational tours to studying the Hawaiian language at the university in Honolulu. Some faculty I members traveled in the United States, attended workshops or seminars, or went back to colleges and universities for advanced train- ing or degrees. Others stayed in Mexico teaching in summer school sessions, coaching Khoury League baseball teams, working, or just catching up with gardening, housekeeping, reading, and the end- less variety of summer activities. During the first of the school year, faculty members and administrators anticipated the arrival of the North Central Evaluating Committee which re-evalu- ated Mexico High School for the first time since 1906 when it first became a member school. Composed of 33 teachers and administrators from colleges and other high schools in the state, the com- mittee spent a week during February at MHS in- specting the building and facilities, visiting class- rooms, and meeting informally with faculty and stu- dent committees in preparing their report. Results of the re-evaluation, received in April, again placed MHS in the AAA category, the highest rating given by the North Central Association, an accrediting agency for the seven-state area. The 78 faculty members, MHS's largest in history, with the addition of teachers this year to staff the new technical school, found time not only to teach but to advise students, coach athletics and dramatics, sponsor clubs, and play basketball for money-raising projects. They supervised such affairs as the prom, the musical, and after-school sports, in addition to their own home, church, and civic activities.

This year the Peanuts characters came to life for the students in sociology classes and gave them a broader background in the study of human nature. Students studied the various personalities of the characters and compared them with people living in our society. Campaigns, bulletin boards and newspaper articles gave the students an opportunity to witness the responsibilities of electing a president. ln November, a mock election was held which correctly predicted Richard Nixon as the next president. With this interest in the national government, economics students learned how to make stock transactions that are an important function of our government. Juniors, in their American History classes, searched back into their family histories and came up with everything from rich-great-uncles to these skeletons in the closet.

Lab Experiments Pla Vital Part in MHS Science MHS offers six different science courses for those who are scientifically-minded, or for those who wish to gain an appreciation of the world around them. Freshman students began their study in this field with Physical Science. The course covered a variety of basic subjects, ranging from the properties of electricity to the composition of the human ear. General Biology, a subject which investigates the plant and animal kingdoms, was highlighted by the dissection of worms, starfish, and frogs. Laboratory experiments acquainted General Chemistry and Chem Study students with the vast world of organic and inorganic chemicals. These courses also dealt with the distinctive physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases, and the use of the slide rule. Biology Il and Physics offered two different areas of study for interested seniors. Physics delved into the phenomena of light and waves, the properties of mass and motion, and the theories concerning the solar system, while Biology II concentrated on the theories of evolution and genetics.

This year also marked a new high for the college boards with the scores achieved by jim Covington and Lewis Melahn. Mathematics courses at MHS concentrated on preparing students for the ever increasing math- minded world, while offering several degrees of specialization. Functional Math is designed to acquaint students with the basic mathematic principles needed in everyday life. The centuries-old abacus was used to demonstrate the ideas introduced in this course, which included a study of whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and percents. Algebra I continued with the concepts which were introduced in seventh and eighth grade math. Open to freshman students who had an M average in eighth grade and who passed a placement examina- tion, this course accented the number line, sets of numbers, and graphing. With the basis of proving theorems and hypotheses on previously accepted data, geometry provided interested students with the chance to tackle thought-provoking problems. Geometry progressed from lines and planes to three dimensional solids. Algebra ll examined in greater detail the principles of Algebra I, as well as introduced the students to the individual properties of four symmetrical curves -the circle, parabola, hyperbola, and ellipse. Logarithms, functions, and graphing were also studied. Helping students to gain an understanding of more complex mathematics, College Algebra and Trig- onometry is the most advanced math course offered at MHS. This course provided a basis for future study in engineering, while also giving advance college hours in some cases. Trigometric functions, data organization, and beginning calculus were all a part of the course content. Itopj Tim Baker, senior, seems to find something to chuckle about in his College Algebra book. john Reaves studies intently for to- morrow's Algebra test. English Department Introduces First Reader's Theatre Breaking the communications barrier became the main objective of the English department at MHS this year. New types of oral interpretation such as the Reader's Theatre were introduced along with new records, slides, tapes and research material. English I and II dealt primarily with English gram- mar while English III and IV specialized in American and English literature. Students were encouraged to express themselves through the use of oral and written reports, panel discussions, and psychedelic bulletin boards. Amid semester exams, college boards, and the in- telligence tests, seniors, juniors, and sophomores took time out to see a movie production of Shake- speare's Macbeth , This provided a general back- ground of information for the juniors and sophomores as they began their studies of Shakespeare. Students were familiarized with different countries of the world with slides, bulletin boards, and oral reports given by teachers and students who had visited the countries. Correlating with English I, II, III, and IV, Publications provided juniors and seniors with the necessary back- ground that helped them publish the Bulldog's Growl , school newspaper, and the MASCOT , MHS's yearbook.

Academics 75 Librar Purchases New Classroom Aids New equipment continued to be added to the MHS library this year. To fill the growing needs of the school, tape recorders, record players, film projectors, and other types of audio-visual aids were of service to the classrooms. joining the library aids added in recent years was other equipment designed to help both students and faculty. The most unique audio-visual aid purchased for the library was an ektagraph which permitted the students as well as the teachers to make their own slides for classroom use. An eight-post head phone set allowed students to listen to tape recordings without disturbing other students. A set of 'l'l2 full-color art reproductions was also included in the new equipment. The MHS library, under the direction of Mrs. Naurine Duffy, and her assistant, Mrs. Norma Precht, observed National Library Week, April 20-26, with colorful displays and pamphlets. During the week, Mrs. Duffy announced that the library reached an all-time high of 12,179 items checked out for the quarter. Sheila Brown, student librarian, shelves a few of the many books that are checked out of the school library each day. fabovel These students use their library time and references wisely as they study for an up-coming test. 76 Academics ill Fred Shocks portrays Santa Claus in the annual school Christmas PFOSFSH1 fabovei Helping to prepare the program for MH5's first fall Forensic Festival, jane Easterling, senior, staples pages to- gether.

Throughout the year students in Speech I and ll studied various aspects of speech including acting, oral interpretation, debate, and public speaking. Many of the students competed with those from other schools in tournaments. Poise, ease, and self-confidence were the products of an eventful year for all speech students as they made plans and participated in the development of MHS's first speech festival. Thirteen schools participated in this event entering in such events as acting, debating, and oral inter- pretation. Proceeds went to the March of Dimes from the annual Dimes for Discs radio program presented by the radio class. Later in the year, students presented original one- act plays written and presented to the faculty and students of MHS. Search for Key to lob Training Attracts Students Searching for a key to job opportunity, many MHS students enrolled in business education courses, such as Bookkeeping I, Business Law, Basic Business, Typing I, and Business English and Math which are semester classes. Students enrolled in these courses gained knowledge about the bookkeeping department in a business, the laws by which a busi- ness must abide, the proper grammar and form to use when typing business letters, and the fundamen- tals of interest on stocks and bonds. Bookkeeping I classes were hired by George Spen- cer, owner and operator of the fictitious Spencer Athletic Goods Store, the first semester. Keeping the books for a fiscal period of one month, they used various journals and ledgers. The second semester, they were employed by Taylor Hardware to keep up-to-date his journals, ledgers, checkbook, and reports. The 130 bookkeeping students toured the computer section of A. P. Green Refractories, to go along with their study of automated data proces- sing. Business Law students presented short skits to illustrate different points of law. To decide which of the parties should receive judgment, a jury composed of students of the class was chosen. Later in the year Mr. Andy Runge, a Mexico attorney, spoke to Business Law classes, with many of the students taking advantage of this opportunity to seek some free legal advice.

Physical Education Curriculum Stress Individual Activit Although the Physical Fitness test events-the six hundred yard run-walk, fifty-yard dash, pull-up, sit-up, shuttle run, softball throw, and long jump-were used, MHS's Physical Education was concerned with 'indi- vidual activities'. These activities-bowling, golf, archery and bad- minton, are 'life-time' sports any physically-fit person can enjoy for years. In addition, basketball, touch foot- ball, and 'speed ball' a combination of soccer and foot- ball, were required group activities. While boys lifted weights to prepare for wrestling instruction from MHS's wrestlers, the girls received a three-week modern dance course. Based on their desire and ability to master the basic skills, the girls them chose between modern and folk dances. When spring came, the Physical Education classes wrapped up the year outside with archery, tennis, pole vaults and sprints. The girls' track and field events were supervised by MHS's track squad.

Industrial Arts included courses ranging in technicality from General Shop, which offered the use of small power tools, projects in electricity, leather, woodwork, metal work, and home mechanics, to Power Mechanics, which involved the use of larger machinery. Those with an industrial occupation in mind for the future were often recommended for one of the more advanced courses offered through the Mexico Area Vocational and Technical School. In all courses, individuality in design was stressed. Projects were developed by the student himself through all the steps, from the planning and draw- ing stages to their completion. Projects varied from a screwdriver to large cabinets in metals and from bowls and lamps to coffee tables and intricately designed chess and checker boards in woodworking. In addition to gaining practical technical experi- ence, Industrial Arts students also learned to ap- preciate industrial organization and processes. fabovel Sawdust sprinkles his arm, as john Reaves shapes the edge of a coffee table. fleftj Tom Pollard, Darryl Duchesne, and Gayle Stowers team up to complete their woodworking project.

New creations made and worn by clothing stu- dents in Home Economics I and II did much to en- liven the halls of MHS. Girls in Home Economics I started at the beginning of the year with a unit Good Grooming before going on to Beginning Clothes. In this clothing unit they created two simple dresses. Home Economics II students went into more com- plicated projects, such as The buying of Fabrics , and worked with more difficult materials such as wools and synthetics. Other projects in home economics included home decoration and good management.

The work-study program is a voluntary one between local school districts having special education classes at the secondary level, and two sections of the state depart- ment of education: vocational rehabilitation and special education. Designed to assist the students in making a more effective transition from the protective school en- vironment to a work-a-day world, the program at MHS was supervised by Mrs. Mary Harris and general supervisor, Graham Williams, who is voca- tional rehabilitation counselor for Missouri. The students were carefully placed, with regard to interest and aptitude, on the work station as a continuation of the curriculum starting with class- room study of attitudes and skills which will lead to successful employment. Special Education classes, directed by Miss Goldie Newman, focused their attention on English, math, science, social studies, basic business courses, and speech. Meeting in small groups, the classes were taught in regular daily sessions. As the noon hour approaches, Bobby Miller ftopj sets a table at the Missouri Military Academy. With half the job done, Kenneth Herndon lleftl cleans the livestock pavilion as a part of his job with the Central Missouri Livestock Center. Foreign Language Adds to Curriculum with New Course To meet the growing need for communications of ideas throughout the world, the foreign language curriculum included studies in French, Spanish, and Latin. Latin III, a new course, offered more advanced readings and translations. This was available for those students who wanted to further their educa- tion in Latin. Latin II students after learning the basic principles in Latin I, concentrated on Latin literature and translations. Latin I dealt primarily with mythology, ancient history, and Roman civilization in addition to vo- cabulary and grammar. French I, as an introduction to the most popular of the Romance languages, stressed grammar and vocabulary, customs, and simple translations. French II and III continued studies of the basic structure. Students began reading about the history of French civilization and other French speaking countries. Spanish I and II dealt with grammar, pronuncia- tion, and simple translations, while Spanish III was concerned with Spanish literature and customs. To help students with improving their diction and pronunciation, a large language laboratory was available.

Taught by Mrs. Glory Heyde, the lecture-type class introduced the students to the history and characteristics of the different eras of music. Fundamentals joined other classes in the Fine Arts department designed to cultivate the abilities of the talented and at the same time create a liberal back- ground for those perhaps less talented but interested in acquiring a wider range of experiences. From an introduction in the first year art class to the five basic elements of design-line, form, space, color, and texture, more interested students went on to Art ll, where they used these elements in a wider choice of media combined with the knowledge and experience gained the previous year. Much more on their own, Art Ill made use of their individual creativity and originality in their projects. Students found a better understanding of the con- cert, radio, or TV in the everyday world around them through knowledge gained as a part of the perform- ing instrumental and vocal groups at MHS. labove center?

In cooperation with MHS, students from North Callaway R-I, Paris R-II, and Community R-VI com- muted to the Vocational School to attend classes 'which ranged from Automobile Mechanics and Elec- tricity to Child Care. Other eligible schools included Fulton, Montgomery County R-Il, Vandalia R-I, and Wellsville R-I. Students from thier area attended their own high schools for one-half day, and then came to the Area Vocational School to receive occupational training. Selected on the basis of the GATB test, school record, and interest, these students along with post graduates and MHS students attended the 18 avail- able classes. In the adult education field, adults, numbering 600 a semester, attended classes at night.

A ' Technical School Adds New Classes Three new vocational courses for girls became available this year with the move into the new area technical and vocational school. The three-Child Care and Development, Health Occupations and Industrial Sewing-joined Clerical and Secretarial Practice classes offered also on a three-hour basis in previous years. child Care and Development, taught by Mrs. Annabel Gooch, enrolled 15 pre-schoolers ranging in age from two to five years in a nursery school lasting from 1-3 p.m. five days a week. The children were prepared for the learning process and encouraged to use their own creativity and free expression in their activities. The children enrolled on November 15 to permit students to spend the first two months of school training in supervising, planning activities, selecting books, and getting a general idea of the supervision of a nursery school. The first semester concentrated on the care of the child and the second semester on his development. Another new class, Health Occupations, under the supervision of Mrs. Viola Halpin, encouraged stu- dents to go on to further education in related areas. Students practiced taking pulse and respiration rates, giving baths, and other procedures using a life-size doll, Mrs. Chase. A perfect patientff Mrs. Chase never complained but always had plenty of ailments. Assigned to a doctor's or dentist's office or to the Audrain Hospital for two hours daily three days a week, students spent two-week periods at each post, in addition, to serving as nurses' aids at the Audrain Hospital. Occupational Sewing was available to girls who had had at least one year of high school home economics. Beginning the year by making nurses uniforms for the 44 girls enrolled in health occupations, the sewing class did alterations in addition to repairing zippers, and shortening coats and dresses to this year's shorter styles. The first semester's work stressed personal sewing with the following semester adding tailoring of drap- eries, curtains, and upholstery. In describing the course, Mrs. Mary jane Smithey, instructor said that it was a good opportunity for girls to learn a trade useful to their future families as well as to them- selves.

The work of custodians, bus drivers, and cafeteria workers, who formed a vital part of the school scene, often went unnoticed so long as it was done well and on schedule. Bus drivers provided reliable transportation to those students who lived in rural areas. Not only did they make their regular routes twice a day but they also provided transportation on out-of-town sports events and scholastic trips. One of the most active places at MHS, the cafe- teria was under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Stotler. She and her staff had the responsibility of preparing over1200 hot lunches each day. ln addition, they sold milk and donuts before school and prepared ban- quets and dinners for school-related functions. tfrom top left!

Projects to raise money for the scholarship were an after-game dance and an ice cream social. This schol- arship pays for the student's books, tuition, and lunches for one school year in a school associated with SCF and located in an underdeveloped area. Twelve South American students associated with the International Student Exchange program visited Mexico High School for three days while touring member schools of the Midwest. To acquaint the people of Mexico with their South American customs and ideas, these students presented a Student Coun- cil sponsored program, the Chile-Gram. This pro- gram consisted of native songs, dances and decora- tive costumes. Profits made from the project will be used in the coming year to sponsor other ISE stu- dents.

Senator Eagleton, a guest speaker, told the con- vention members of their future responsibilities in maintaining peace and the democratic system, heightening the convention's theme, An 'I' to the Future . This year, Mexico's Honor Society boasted a mem- bership of 54, having 13 key members, and initiating 27 seniors and 14 juniors in candlelight ceremonies. Officers elected at the beginning of the year were Gary Fennewald, regent, Wayne Peters, vice-regent, Diane Davis, secretary, and lane Easterling, treasurer. Sponsors were Miss Betty Baker and Mr. George Craddok. The traditional banquet ended the year with guest speaker Kirby Allen.

The members of the court were nominated and elected by the band about three weeks before the dance. Suspense grew as February 14 drew near since Mr. Willer had made it very clear that the ballots would remain in a sealed envelope until they were counted the night of the dance. After the crowning, Queen Carol was presented a charm bracelet from the band and King Alan received an l.D. bracelet.

After a well received concert at Higginsville, the band moved on to their destination, Kansas City and the Muhlebach Hotel. While in Kansas City, the band toured several places including the Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac Assembly Plant, Liberty Memorial and the Nelson Art Gallery. On the return trip from Kansas City, the 144 members stopped at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri. Money raised by the band from magazine and chocolate sales, and the concession stands at the music festival made the trip possible. The Dixie Grays received a I rating at the District Music Festival held at MHS on March 28 and 29. The selections played were Yelva and The Silken Ladder. May 'IT brought the seventeenth annual Parade of Bands at Presser Hall. The Dixie Grays opened their part of the show with a tympany roll and Host- rauser's March and closed with the Star Spangled Banner.

Red and Grays Grow Accustomed to Exacting Work Visions of marching festivals, music contests, parades and band trips made the hours of practice more than just dull routine for the Red and Grays. During the year, members perfected the scales and marching techniques necessary to enter the Dixie Grays. The Red and Grays, a sixty piece freshman band, marched in the MHS homecoming parade. The members of the freshman class not in band listened to the Red and Grays' concert in Emmons Hall in March. On May 'l they made a trip to Eugene Field School to perform for the students. Participating in the District Music Festival gave the freshman an idea of what would be expected of them the next year as Dixie Gray members. The Red and Grays were not rated, but played for construc- tive criticism. Among the pieces played by the freshman band in the Parade of Bands was Bandology by Eric Osterling. The concert was held at Presser Hall on May11. To add a little fun to the year, the band held sev- eral social events. They were planned by the officers with the help of their director, Robert Murta. The officers were Chuck Buckner, president, Lawrence Epple, vice president, Marcia Lees, secretary, and Cindy Blumer, treasurer. At a party for members and their guests February 7 in the high school cafeteria, there were games and plenty of food. Then to end the year, the band had a picnic May 9 at Plunkett Park.

After being selected first in state, the Mascot was rated the highest possible in all three major national judging services. This year's staff, attempting to top the '68 Mascot sales, presented an assembly which included a skit featuring Sadie and the Moonshine Raiders, a jug band consisting of senior girls. To raise money for the '69 Mascot, the staff, as in the past, canvassed the town over a period of two weeks selling Christmas evergreens. The staff also co-sponsored with the Pep Squad a new project, Work Day, held in April with proceeds going to both organizations. The students were hired out by Mexicoans to do odd jobs around the house. In order to become better acquainted with the American Yearbook Company, the Mascot's publisher, members of the class took a short vacation from their studies to tour the plant in Hannibal. They were shown, step by step, the intricate process of putting a yearbook together. Roger Lewis, junior, winner of the name-the-doll contest, received a free yearbook for submitting the name Rupert. t'wnW i' Q E+' COE Celebrates 30th Anniversar The selection of Mike Farmer, MHS senior as Missouri's student of the year and the thirtieth an- niversary of their program at Mexico High School highlighted the year for the COE classes.

Then called Diversified Oc- cupations, the class included Kirby Allen who served as master of ceremonies at this year's observance. Mike, chosen earlier by a panel of judges at the state convention in Columbia as student of the year, was also honored at the banquet. Mike, president of the Missouri as well as the Mexico club, went on to compete in the contest held in Atlantic City, N.l. in May for the national title. Other contest winners at the state convention were Robin Neely, Linda Becker, Sharon Sampson, Kathy Mills, Gary Little, Mike Moore, Pam Mechlin, Ken West, Mike Forck, Charles Minney, Gary jones, and Dan Slater. Activities throughout the year for the group in- cluded an employer-employee basketball game, a dance featuring the music of the St. lohns, a picnic and Wiener roast, and a rummage sale. They also made a trip in May to the Mid-America Raceways in Wentzville and arranged window displays at Thrifty Finance and the COE display window in observance of National Distributive Education Clubs of America lDECAD month. Sponsored by William Maloney, the club elected as officers Mike Farmer, president, Kendra Sullivan, vice-president, Pam Mechlin, secretary, Nita Smith, treasurer, Gary Little, reporter, and lohn Cox, par- liamentarian.

Building Projects Bring Fun, Profit With projects ranging from a safe corn harvest to building loading chutes, members of the Mexico Chapter of the Future Farmers of America were ener- getic and spirited. During the year, FFA members participated in a safe corn harvest project. Realizing the need for a safe corn harvest, members called on area farmers to point out the dangers involved in harvesting, and asked their cooperation in avoiding accidents which annually takesatollof1400lives from farm families. Along with the safe corn harvest, members partici- pated in raising 50 feeder pigs in cooperation with Hale and Hunter, a local feed supplier. The project netted over S150 for the club. Other business ventures through-out the year in- cluded building gates, loading chutes, and wagons and selling them at a profit. Some were used for the boys' farms, others were sold to Economy Lumber Company in Mexico for resale. ' The FFA varied its activities for each month in the year including basketball games with other chapters for january and a state convention in Columbia, Mis- souri,for April.

GAA'ers Receive MHS Sport Pins '69 Letter Awards Beginning with the fall sport of softball, all team members in the Girls' Athletic Association were able to earn either athletic pins or letter awards for their participation in the club's activities. Sponsored by Mrs. Sue Priest, the girls elected as their officers Vickie Barnes, president, Doris Beamer, vice-president, Robin Neely, secretary, Becky Given, treasurer, Patty lensen, historian, Joyce Dean, social chairman, and Gail Marshall, points recorder. Continuing a schedule set up for enjoyment of participation in individual and group activities, the girls moved indoors in November and began basket- ball play ending with a round-robin tournament that saw the Boy Watchers of the Thursday league as winners. Members of the winning team were Doris Beamer, Mary Hake, Brenda Niekamp, Darby and Debbie Monsen, Lana Lees, Linda Young, and Pawnee Talley. After Christmas vacation, the group switched to volleyball with a total of 40 girls playing five games each week in a five-team league. The Sixty-Niners in both the Tuesday and Thursday leagues won in the final play. In the first series of Exchange Days , Community R46's girls taught the MHS club to play floor hockey, then in February, the Mexico girls hosted a return session which taught gymnastic skills necessary for vaulting, balance beam floor exercises, and the un- even parallel bars. During March, thirteen teams of girls bowled two games a day at Mexico Lanes as a GAA activity. Out- door recreation resumed for the girls in April when they concentrated on archery and croquet skills. Financed by the making and selling of hostess brooms during the winter, 30 members of the club and their chaperons, Mrs. Priest, Mrs. Maxine Put- nam, and student teachers Mrs. Ellen Wilson and Mrs. Sarah Goss ended their year with an overnight campout at Meremac Park.

In pointing out the differences between this year's team and those of previous years, coaches Lynn Cundiff and Ron Whittaker stressed inexperience. Six of their starters had never played junior high football. The Bullpups did a good job in their efforts to overcome this handicap, and the close of the season saw four of the fighting Freshmen advance to join the junior Varsity squad. Eligible to play in the final two games were Tim Lankford, Mark Nordwald, Chuck Worstell, and Everett Trabue, who was also leading scorer for the Frosh with 18 points to his credit. The Freshmen brought their season to a close with a disheartening 2-4 record. Possibly their best game was a 20-0 romp over Helias of jefferson City. On the other end of their record was a miser- able 45-0 loss to West junior of Columbia.

Pups End Season with 1- -1 Record The word to describe the 1968 Bullpups was incon- sistent. The team record of 1-3-1 told the story. Their lone win came from Helias with the only score of the game coming in the final quarter on a pass from quarterback Steve Spradlin to end Mike Lankford. The Bullpups were plagued all year by fumbles, never more evident than at the Moberly contest when the Bullpups moved within striking distance only to fumble the ball. 0 Oddly enough, the highpoint of the season for the Bullpups was a 21-0 loss to jefferson City. In this game the Bullpups showed their best form, although jefferson City took advantage of several mistakes to win the game. The last two games of the season found the Bullpups lacking in spirit and desire, losing to Hannibal 20-0 and jefferson City again in a second contest by 53-6. Throughout the year, Coach jerry McFarland showed concern for the lack of scoring ability shown by the Bullpups. They could always move the ball, he said, but usually failed to score.

This lack, combined with a five-game losing streak which included conference rivals such as jefferson City, Sedalia, Hickman, and Hannibal, made a pre- season prediction of only three wins for the Bulldogs a definite possibility. But the fighting Bulldogs, under head coach jim Inlow, rebounded from their slump and roared on to consecutive victories over Rolla, Moberly, Boon- ville, and Fulton to balance their season at five and five, including the first game of the season with Marceline. In addition to Coach Inlow, the Bulldogs were instructed by back coach jerry McFarland and line coach Bob Gooch. They were responsible for such standouts as linemen Lyle Hamilton, Tom McCor- mack, and Topper Pfeifer, and backs Steve Sayers, Greg Watson, and jerry Black. In his first year at MHS end coach jim Valentik worked with Keith Laws and Dale Hunthausen to perfect the passing plays. Despite the inexperience of the team, the Bulldogs gave a good account of themselves. For the first time in MHS history, a field goal was scored, an 18-yard kick by Randy Means. Hustle became the Bulldogs' by-word as they adopted Coach C,ooch's favorite saying, lf you give up, boys, it's Katie bar the door. fFrom Top! In practice and through the soap scrimmage the Bulldogs work hard to prepare for the opening game of the season with Marceline Freshmen Find CEMO Difficult CEMO conference teams proved extremely difficult to handle for this year's freshman basketball squad. The team compiled a recorc of 13-5 with all five losses coming at the hands of conference members. However, it should -be pointed out that two of those five were lost by only three points while in another, Mexico took Jefferson City into three overtime pe- riods before being defeated by a mere two-point margin. Again this year, defense was the name of the game as the Frosh had only two consistent scorers. Dennis White led the team with a dazzling 21.1 points-per- game average, followed by lohn Reaves who averaged 14.0 points per game. After that, the closest scorer was Chuck johnson, who contributed a 3.9 average. With this scoring handicap, Coach Bob Farrah de- pended heavily on defense. Everett Trabue and Den- nis White headed the defensive attack and jointly received the Big D award for their outstanding efforts. ln tournament play, the freshmen saw both sides of the fence, so to speak, as they took first place in the new Mexico Freshman Tourney and fourth in the Columbia Optimist Tourney. fabove right!

Although they were hampered by their size both in number and stature, Coach Lynn Cundiff, fielding a team of only six players, took a second and a third in tournament play. The crew took second in their own Mexico Holiday Tournament in December and third in the William Nicely Tournament at Hannibal. Both contests put eight teams in play. High scorer for the Pups was Lawrence Cooper, who averaged 14 points per game. Coach Cundiff cited Bruce Watson and Keith Campbell for turning in outstanding defensive performances. ffrom top!

Led by seniors Tom Shrader, Gary Fennewald, Randy Williams, and all-stater Alan Van Wyngarden, the Bulldogs began their successful season by defeating the host team and taking first in the annual Wellsville tournament. They continued their winning ways, never losing two in a row, and won their next two tournaments. After a first place in the Capital City Tournament, MHS again took first in its own Mexico Holiday Tournament by defeating jefferson City. With a fine record in the regular season, the Bull- dogs entered the Columbia Regional Tournament with high hopes. Their I dreams, however, were crushed as the team was. unable to conjure up a re- peat performance against the Hickman Kewpies in the semi-finals.

Columbia, one of the stiffest opponents, downed Mexico in both dual and tournament competition, although the Bulldogs didn't give their matches away. In both duals, Mexico lost only by small margins to the Hickman team 21-23 and 'I7-20. jeff City, greatly improved over past years, gave the Bulldogs a scare by tying the score in the last meeting of the two squads in dual competition. Quincy High, always a tough team, beat the 'Dogs by only three points in their only meeting. In the district meet, held in Mexico for the first time, Hickman took first place by a comfortable margin of 102-80, grabbing away the title the Bulldogs had held for four years in a row. Mexico qualified six for regional action-Leon West, David Levingston, and Paul McCann with firsts and Greg Miller, Tom Balser, and Randy Means with seconds.

Their outstanding record, 7-3-0, wasn't easily attained by captain Wayne Walker and his grapplers, for this was one of their toughest seasons since junior varsity began in Mexico. Made up largely of sophomores and freshmen, the squad nevertheless had experienced wrestlers in Walker, Ron Fuhrer, and jay Seigfreid who were on the IV squad last year. Chuck Worstell, a first year man, picked up much experience wrestling for the varsity in several matches. Two of their three losses came at the hands of the ever tough Hickman Kewpies by scores of 12-20 and 19-28. The third loss was a one-pointer, 26-27, to Quincy High. On the other side of the ledger, Coach I. R. Houch- ins saw his team take a striking 40-15 win over Helias of jefferson City. Other wins included 23-19 and 17-7 victories over the jeff City lays.

Cindermen Place Third in District As new head track coach, Ron Whittaker found several returning lettermen and a number of out- standing young prospects ready to make his first season the best MHS has seen since becoming mem- bers inthe CEMO conference. The new coach and his squad began their season well, riding high on victories in their first four dual meets and placing third out of nine teams in the Conference Indoor Meet. Then the team hit the ebb of their season by losing their last two dual meets to tough Fulton and jeffer- son City teams. The Bulldogs then closed their season by taking third in the district meet, which was held for the first time in Mexico. This year's squad found its strength in the sprints and relays rather than in the field or distance events. The most outstanding event of this year's team was the 880 yard relay, whose members, Fred Shocks, Ron Shocks, Greg Watson, and Charles Fountain, qualified for the state competition by taking first in the district TTICBI. This relay team also tied the conference record and set a new school record with a time of 1.32. Other new school records set by the cindermen were senior Lowell lackson's 2.03.4 in the 880 yard run, and junior Steve Safford's two-mile, breaking the old record with a time of 11.43. Fans attributed the success of the '69 track squad to their dedication, hard work, and the desire of a great group of athletes and their coaches.

The Bullpups closed out their season with a discouraging 2-4 dual meet record, with their only wins coming from Fulton and Moberly. Their performance in relay competition was a little better, taking third in the Huck Finn relays at Hanni- bal, and fourth in both the Quincy and Columbia relays. New Freshman record holders are Tim Lankford, with a varsity discus throw of 'l07'10 1f2 , and Clar- ence Williams, who hurled the varsity shot 40'8 .

Tennis Teams Post -3 and 1-11 Year With the Boys' junior Varsity team beating Fulton's Varsity squad for the lone victory of the season for either team, both the boys' and the girls' tennis squads suffered a long and disappointing season. At the beginning of the season with only four Iettermen returning from last year, both squads lacked the experience to put together a winning year. Concluding the season, Art Rinderknecht, boys' coach, awarded MHS varsity letters to Bill Adams, jeff Doolittle, Dwight Rahmeyer, and Tom Schroeder.

MHS Golfers End Season at 7- Best in 3 Years Although the team had only four lettermen and bad weather hampered their practice, MHS's golfers posted their best season in the past three years with a 7-8 mark. Most of the losses came at the hands of the top schools in the area-Helias, jefferson City, and Hick- man of Columbia, all of whom, unlike the Bulldogs, had had experience in playing on grass greens. Of the four lettermen named by Coach David Bell, three-Mark Beshears, Tim Bailey, and john Cadwell -were low scorers for the squad in all its 15 matches. Bailey set a school record when he shot a one under par 35 for nine holes in a match against jefferson City played at the Arthur Hills course. At the conclusion of the regular season, the team of Bailey, Beshears, Cadwell, Mark Mackie, and Lewis Melahn placed fifth in the five-team conference match. In that meet, Cadwell, who had played de- pendably throughout the year, shot a 42-44-46 to lead the Bulldogs. In the district meet that followed, seniors Bailey, Beshears, Cadwell, and Melahn completed the season with a ninth place team finish in the 18-team match at Moberly.

Glovemen Advance Farther in State than Ever Before The 1969 version of the baseball Bulldogs will go down in history as the first baseball team from Mexico High to ever reach the quarterfinals in state playoff competition. Mexico had never before been able to get past the district playoffs, but this year, the Bulldogs scrambled to a 7-3 victory over. La Plata to take the district championship. This was followed closely by a 4-3 sectional win over Columbia Hickman, despite a no-hitter turned in by the Columbia pitching staff. That win vaulted Mexico into the state quarter- finals where they went down to defeat at the hands of a very powerful Webster Groves team, by a score of 7-0. This year's squad, with a 10 and 8 season record, was spearheaded by five returning lettermen in sen- iors Bruce Knipfel, Clary Fennewald, lerry Black, Tom Shrader, and Keith Laws. Deserving special notice was senior Tom McCormack, who stepped into the pitch- ing rotation and became one of the winningest pitchers in recent Mexico history as he totaled 7 wins and 3 losses with an even 2.00 Earned Run Average. Batting honors went to four year letterman, Bruce Knipfel, who led the team with a .349 average backed up by fifteen RBl'S. Coach jerry McFarland will have seven returning lettermen to form his squad around next year. They are junior Paul Brower and sophomores Keith Camp- bell, Lawrence Cooper, Tom Brown, james DeLong, Mike Fennewald, and Mark Thoenen.

The 6'6 senior led the 1968-69 version of the Bull- dogs to a 23-5 record with an average of 19.9 points and 13.5 rebounds per game. An excellent shot, Alan dumped in 52 percent of his field goal attempts and 69 percent of his free throws. Blocking shots was one of his specialties, and he was considered the finest defensive center in the area by opposing coaches. Alan's other honors included unanimous selection to the All-CEMO conference, All-District, and All- Ledgerland teams. He was then chosen for the first team in All-State classification and, to crown his glory, was elected honorary Bulldog team captain by his teammates. 6'6 center, Alan Van Wyngarden comes down with the ball as Charles Fountain 1522 screens an opponent from the action.

Each student at MHS Has his own personality, His own ideas, And his own explanations To unanswered questions. All feel things deeply, Yet differently. Each reacts unlike the next, Yet we are bonded together In many ways. The remembrance of things past, The reluctance to forget shared moment We each have fears, We each have sorrows, Yet both are faced with courage And fortitude, For the man who hesitates is lost. Before you speak, learn, And before you learn, Be open-minded. As students of MHS We've come to know A great many people, Come to experience A great many new situations, And we've come to realize That there's more to life Than a Varsity basketball game, Or a Homecoming dance. We've learned that through The struggle of becoming An individual We each experience Our own Proud Moments. Proud Moments Come to Frosh The freshmen, class of '72-like all frosh classes in some ways-differed in others. Like others, they entered the halls of MHS in September with the feeling they would never, never find their way through the whirl-wind of activities and experiences there, but these freshmen came, saw, and conquered . Proud moments came to them when they initiated and carried out the first Invitational Freshman Bas- ketball Tournament held in December. Mexico High School was even more proud of them when they captured the fi rst-place title in the tourney. In other sporting events, such names as Chuck Worstell, Tim Lankford, Mark Nordwald, and john Reeves crept up often in the news coverage in the Growl and the Ledger. For the first time in the history of MHS musical productions, a freshman captured the leading role. Pat VanHorn proudly portrayed Henry Higgins in the musical My Fair Lady presented in the spring. The class exhibited great spirit with their attend- ance in large numbers at frosh athletic events. Their participation in one particular class-competitive pep assembly was termed especially spontaneous and spirited . Facing many trying, rough times, the Class of '72 fought for and received identity among their peers at MHS. Many proud moments and worthwhile memories resulted from their constant efforts to be- come a part of the busy activities of Mexico High School. i Mkt min 178 Freshmen A Q 1 -2-49' FE WZ?

To boost school spirit at out-of-town games, they sponsored a bus to Fulton where they cheered both the Varsity and the junior Varsity squads on to victory. Later in the year, the sophs were named the leading class in collecting clothing for the Student Council Bundle Days project. Individual members of the class too came in for their share of MHS's proud moments. The Rhodes Folk Group with sophomore member Karen Ogar placed first in the Key Club talent show. johnny Free- man and two other sophs, Kim Billington and Roger Haley, placed third. Clay Brashears became the first sophomore to be selected first clarinetist in the Dixie Grays. ln dra- matics, many of them sang and danced their way through this year's musical, My Fair Lady . Sophomores also excelled in the field of sports. The emergence of two promising soph backs brightened the outlook for the coming football season. One, lulian Beever, led Mexico's rushing in the Rolla game with 88 yards. Lawrence Cooper, the other sophomore, tallied a 5 yard-per-carry average with over 100 yards gained in the '68 season. Warren Rink Williams 6' 6 was recognized as an established rebounder in. basketball with a 10 point per game average. Sophomore Mike Brown, described by fans as the best hurdling prospect at Mexico High School in the past 10 years, ripped over the 65 yard low hurdles in Brewer Fieldhouse setting a new record at 7.4 seconds in the Central Missouri Conference. Bill Ward be- came Mexico's best discus thrower. lim Varvil as president of the class with Pat West- cott, vice-president, Ellen Williams, secretary, and Jackie Spurrier, treasurer led the Class of '71 through their proud moments as Mexico High School sophol mores. l . :Rl 190 Sophomores -ri-Q At if A 'N X 4? it -L 34 'L V501 A 5' 91 9 s B. is exec Q ana was fi Bill Adams Bill Armstrong leannie Becker Tim Bertrand Bill Brandis loan Adams Vickie Arnold julian Beever Kym Billington Clay Brashears Tracy Adkisson Demois Austin Herbert Belcher Michael Blair Rita Bratton Beverly Allen Anne Baker Barbara Benjamin Melanie Boicourt Basil Brown Charlea Allen Kathleen Barnes Keith Benskin Betty Borcherding Larry Brown Charles Anderson Bill Bates Debra Berrey Sue Bounds Mike Brown james Anderson Frank Beauchamp Cherylle Berry Richard Bramblett Tom Brown 192 Sophomores is , .ur wcrgzlpf' GEN l l i 1 xl Y - fl: Q Y - ' A V92 .,.

A powder-puff football game, the sale of scented candles, and the annual chili supper brought the juniors to an all-time high of S1100 for the traditional junior-Senior Prom. - Moonlite Mandalay -the chosen theme-was carried out most imaginatively with a life-size baby elephant as the main attraction. To tie the Coronation in with the theme, this year's king and queen sat on red velvet pillows instead of a throne. Sponsors for the class included head sponsor Mrs. Mary Ann Finley with Mrs. Evelyn Sweitzer in charge of Prom decorations. With the help of the 12 sponsors, junior class officers Mike Lankford, Vicki Barnes, Linda Rhodes and Debbie Lierheimer succeeded in raising the desired amount of money for each project sponsored. juniors Sara Mclntosh, Vicki and Kathy jenner, and Nancy Schoeepel were selected this year to be hosts to three foreign exchange students from Switzerland and Chile. Spirit played a main role in the lives of many MHS juniors who captured the spirit jug twice during the school year. In the field of sports, Steve Leeper, Clyde Williams, David Levingston, Steve Safford, and others con- stantly made headlines. junior pep squad members chose Debbie Lier- heimer to represent them as junior Miss Spirit at- tendant at the annual Pep Squad dance. The junior class contributed greatly to the lives of all MHS students, giving their own class members many unforgettable proud moments.

Receiving the high school diploma was perhaps the proudest moment in their twelve years of formal education. lane Easterling served as class president with Gail Moore, vice-president, Nancy Erdel, secretary, and Nita Smith, treasurer. They led all the senior class activities throughout the year. For the first time in the history of MHS, senior girls formed a jug band named Sadie and the Moonshine Raiders. Instruments in the jug band included co- modaphone, gut bucket, pots and pans, turkey bell, slide whistles, garbage can, and kazoos. The finishing touch to the band was the harmonious voices of the senior girls. They performed in the publications as- sembly and at the Sadie Hawkins dance. The seniors participated in the junior-Senior powderpuff football game, for the second consecutive year, losing to the juniors by a score of 12 to 8. May 20 was the date of the greatest and most ex- citing senior event of the year, the traditional banquet for all the members of the class. The class of '69 looked forward to this banquet, their last chance to be together as a group. With the theme, Past, Present, and Future, the entertainment committee presented a program which not only made the seniors look backward into the past but forward into the future. Participating in other school activities, outstanding seniors demonstrated their talents in many fields. My Fair Lady, MHS's spring musical, had a large cast of seniors. They participated in the Concert Choir and Dixie Grey band among other clubs. Baccalaureate services on May 18 and Commence- ment exercises on May 22 brought an end to the ex- citing year with many proud moments for seniors. vw N All-Female Cabinet Heads Senior Class - f ' .

Vicki jenner, Nancy Allen Advisor ..,...,r Mrs. Dora Barnes As Editor of the 1969 Mascot, I feel a little misty as I think back on the many hours devoted to producing our yearbook. For me and fellow seniors on the staff, they are the last hours we shall surrender to the Mascot. Those hours weren't always pleasant. There were lost negatives, pictures which didn't quite seem to fit the layout, copy to write when there seemed to be nothing to say, and most of all, those deadlines which always seemed to come too soon. But the good points far outweighed the bad. Creating a yearbook is quite an experience. It's working together, meeting interesting people, and discovering more about those you already know. Then, of course, there's the satisfaction of knowing you helped record another important year at MHS. The triumphs, the tragedies, the joys, and the sorrows are all thereto look back upon many years from now. Yes, a yearbook is more than just a publication to idly thumb through-it's a treasure of thoughts, ideas, changing seasons, and cherished memories. But I must place credit where it's due, to a fine, hardworking staff. They spent many long hours, both in and out of class, to put this book together. We would like to thank the Mexico Ledger for their valuable assistance with pictures and copy, with special thanks to Richard Vance, Ledger photographer, john Scott, sports editor, and Dale Duffy, freshman, who helped so often with pictures. Thanks also to Lee jolly, Greg Miller, and Steve Safford who came to our rescue with much needed sports copy. The staff would like to recognize Mr. and Mrs. Calvert of Fine Art Studio for their never-ending patience with all our problems, and the Key Club for their contribution, which made possible our color pages. To the faculty of MHS, we are grateful. Thanks for letting us cut a few classes for the benefit of the Mascot. Those few rninutes often helped a great deal. And most of all, thanks to a great advisor, Mrs. Dora Barnes for all her help and guidance. Each day, as she walked into the room, she was bombarded with dozens of questions- some important, some trivial-but she answered each with equal interest and concern. So as you look through your '69 Mascot, we hope we have produced the kind of book that will make all MHS'ers relive These Proud Moments. ,fa figs' 'sr 279 Closing Pages The years go by. One fades into another, And is gone. So are our days at MHS. Years of... Thought, Curiosity, Spirit, And growth. Years filled with Happiness, sadness, Grief, pain, Trials, and tribulations. They are years to remember, Honor, and love. There were times when The weekend homework seemed Too much to bear, That research paper due days ago Was an impossible task, Or that special friend Seemed to forsake you. But then there were times When the joy of an after-game dance, Or being elected president Ofyour favorite club Seemed to make it all worthwhile. Yes, our years at MHS Are years to remember. To look back upon with a touch Of sadness At the thought of their swift passing. But recalling the experiences Ofour MHS days Enables each of us to remember Our own special Proud Moments. QQ!
