In Pursuit of . . . SPIRIT Spirit Week is always one of the most memorable weeks at MHS. The week of 1984 was no exception! It began with the traditional best dressed contestg this year's costumes were truly super! Nerds, people in pyjamas, the Mackenzie Brothers - you name it, MHS had it that week. The assembly Friday was one of the most creative in recent memory: the crowning of queen Tena Nelson, and of course, the unforgettable MHS Spartan Busters . The class of 1985 wore matching t-shirts to echo their theme for float and skit. At the annual parade, the Sophomores, with their first taste of float building, placed second with Wardogs Eat Spartan Meatn. The Junior float, which won the contest, exhibited their knowledge of animal lore with Skunk the Spartans . But the climax to the week was, of course, the football game. The hard work of the team paid off with the Wardogs winning 27-8. The dance that followed topped off one of the more interesting Spirit Weeks in MHS history. 6 The vault.
