A DAY AT M.H.S. Virgil lives forever, at least in Latin class. How dare anyone say Latin is a dead language? The glean of intellectual curiosity displayed on the faces of these ardent linguists, and the Latin words used in this sentence will forever disprove it! No burned toast or un-balanced diets for the future husbands of these young ladies, for home- making teaches them all the skills of a success- ful housewife—from boiling an egg to choosing furniture. Did you know Washington thrice escaped death on the battlefield? Neither did this group until history opened up a new world for their exploration the exciting world of America in yester year. Catch the ball right! Pass it on quickly! The girls of M.H.S. are weekly trained through ex- ercise, basketball, volleyball, badminton, and cal- isthenics! To keep in top-notch physical condi- tion is the thing. 28

A DAY AT M.H.S. Isn’t geometry fun?” Solid geometry, that is, and trigonometry. Well at least one person in the room knows that sin'x and cos'x=l, and that’s Mr. Bozoian. Isn’t one enough? But y6u grin and bear it, and learn your trig. The sweetest music in the world and the big- gest notebook in M.H.S.: both can be found in Mrs. Owen’s music appreciation class. Twenty years fro mnow, when you listen to Bach and Bethoven, you can think of your music class which started it all. Careful now, don’t cut your fingers or electro- cute yourself. Those gadgets look dangerous (to a girl, anyway). But you, a competent shop student, have no fears; you have learned the ropes” from Mr. Domijon. What did Shakespeare mean?” And every- one raises his hand. Well, almost everyone. But you all know finally, all hand in your essays, and all leave Mr. Walker’s class better in Eng- lish than when you entered. 27

A DAY AT M.H.S. Biology introduces these students to the liv- ing beings about them. It aids students in their comprehension of nature and their world. Vive la France! Through stories, songs, and of course, a lot of grammar and vocabulary, Miss Kinniry makes France very real to her French students. If you have a friend who seems to be jabbering all the time, don't complain. He may be practicing his French on you. If you’re single, put down one. If you’re mar- ried, put down one for you, one for your wife, and five for your little ones. From budgets to tax returns, the economics students learn it all. Newton watched an apple fall from a tree, and became world famous. Can you imagine what these physics students might accomplish? Here, in a realm seldom entered by feminine foot, they explore the mysteries of the universe. 29
