The Library Club has been actively involved in the raising of funds to help purchase much needed audio-visual equipment and other materials for the school. The club’s twenty-two members have really gone out to make the library an asset to the students of MHS. Among the member’s duties are the shelving of books, helping students find books and the general maintenance of the room. The club culminated its year with a recreational and educational trip which will be the highlight of the year’s activities. Edith Sisco is hard at work! STUDENT COUNCIL We tried, but we couldn't do it! The Student Council of MHS is a governing organization composed of elected representatives from the upper four classes. The purposes of this group are to foster a spirit of cooperation between the student body and the administration, coordinate and regulate student activities, maintain a high standard of personal conduct by example, promote and encourage activities for the best interest of the school, and develop good citizens through providing experiences in democratic living. A good progressive student council is a great asset to the students as well as to the faculty. MHS Student Council Representatives: standing L to R: Jeff Capshaw. Carla Perkins. Patricia Reaves.

And all our fears are reality; this can’t be happening, no, not to me. It’s time to leave school days behind and greet the world head on; Our adulthood comes shining through, our talents must be shown. Some will succeed in life, and some just simply won’t; Some of us try very hard, and some of us just don't. But all in all, we’ve learned to live and to never give up hope; And with the strength given from above, we’ll always be able to cope. STARRY, STARRY, NIGHT,” WAS THE THEME Mr. Brunjes livens up the party with his talented Stage Band. Teachers enjoy meal time best of all. OF THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET . . .
