AXP WIDE WORLD PHOTOS. ne factor that is very evident in comparing Midpark of the 1980's to Midpark of the 1960's is that in the 1960's school was the center of the student's life. Students used school or Midpark for their social, athletic and intelluctual activities. In many ways Midpark High School was the only game in town that enabled a young adult to gain a positive self image, acheive goals and in general feel good about themselves. oday, the story is very different. Our young peo- ple have many different activities that they consider more important than school. Jobs, cars and rock concerts have a higher priority for many of our students than Midpark High School.
