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.
