Through the years Upon entering Middletown High, we found an additional benefit of the educational process in sports. By partici- pating in organized athletics, we could develop more fully as persons. On a MHS team, we learned to improve our- selves as individuals, while si- multaneously supporting a group effort. Physically and mentally tested, we gained confidence in ourselves and in our teammates. And whether participant or spec- tator, we triumphed in the victory of a game well- played, proud to demon- strate the talent and sports- manship of our school. 5

Through the years As high school students, ours was the opportunity to expand our intellectual capa- cities. We learned during the four-year struggle with the books our scholastic strengths and weaknesses, our academic likes and dis- likes. Each year, with the in- creasing workload, we shoul- dered the added responsibil- ity that was required of us as students. We rose to the oc- casion, meeting the challenge of a new class, a new subject, a new assignment. We have come to refine those skills needed to continue our edu- cation, or to become a mem- ber of the work force. 4

Through the years When we made our high school debut as “little fresh- men,” a head shorter than ev- eryone else, we felt out-of- place in a labyrinth of a build- ing containing many new faces and new procedures to follow. With time, however, came the adjustment to our new environment and a sense of belonging; soon, we chanted with pride, “We are TIGERS!” As we have pro- gressed through our high school years, growing as indi- viduals and striving for per- sonal goals, we have emerged as more confident persons — the leaders of our school to- day, preparing to be the lead- ers of our community tomor- row. 6
