Proud Moments for Students iw, it wlliatfatf M,,, I Individuals. We are all individuals. 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
