Homework Again... The never-ending story! The final bell of the day rings, and freshmen scatter here and there gathering all the homework information and books they will need for the night. Although some of them get sidetracked by friends and “the latest,” when reality finally hits they realize that once again there’s homework to be done, and when there’s homework there’s sure to be someone either at home or at school nagging at you and imploring you to complete your assignments. So if you’re the type that gets sidetracked, or that just plain forgets, just remember: there’s homework again, and again, and there always will be homework until someone comes up with an even more time-consuming, “fun-filled” way to spend your evening constructively. Sometimes the freshmen probably wonder if this nightmare will ever end-maybe there will always be someone nagging, looking over your shoulder, watching every move you make and everything you do-but on the other hand where would we be without people who really care and who are interested in what we are creating? To freshmen everything can seem new, but everything they learn will also have some use, and every new technique which they put to use will help them in the long run. That is one of the first painful lessons of high school. 56 Middletown High School Cavalier

Administration, Faculty Staff Adults are also an important part of MHS. Although we usually think of students when we think of MHS, it just wouldn’t be the same without the many adults who work hard to educate us. Our district and school administrators make important decisions which affect our school. Although we may not often hear from the school board and the district administrators, they are always busy setting the policies and guidelines for the entire school district. Our school administrators work to run MHS according to those district policies and guidelines, and they take care of the day-to-day operation of the school. Of course the teachers are the ones who see more of the students than anyone else in the school, and have to make sure that we really do get an education. All the while, the other staff members are making sure that all of the other “behind the scenes” work is being done. Standing: Dr John T. Holton, Assistant Superintendent, Dr Ronald Mersky.
