Ill (ill SCHOOL Let's rename Midway High School. We can call it High school.” If we add a black and white wrapper, presto — Jwe have a generic high school. Generic seems to be an ap- propriate term to describe Midway High School. In this, the twenty- sixth volume of The Eagle, you will find that National Honor Society, Student Council, Boys' M-Club, cheerleading, athletics, and many other aspects of Midway High School change very little through the years, and repetition is not uncommon. For example, one student (whose name must be kept a secret) was startled in the fourth week of school to discover that Mrs. Ringe was no longer in the library. This lack of observation may not be uncommon in Midway Students. In the first volume of The Eagle, in 1959, there is no mention of the newly built high school. A picture of it does appear on the cover of the volume but nowhere within it. Another example of repetition is the controversy over whether the school should be consolidated. This controversy began when the high school was built in 1959. It was repeated over the more recent building of the elementary school, and it will undoubtedly arise again when the necessity to consolidate arises in the future. Also, many of the students attending Midway are the second generation to attend school here. There are new faces, but the names remain the same. Carmen Albers complained, The underclassmen are getting away with a lot more than they used to.” Seniors have complained of this since the term underclassmen was invented. In addition, Jean Albers noted, “Everybody has their own group. Sylvia (Meyers) Thompson, a 1972 graduate of Midway, said that there were several cliques when she attended high school. It seems that this is another aspect of school that remains the same through the years. Furthermore, some students even feel that the football team's third state victory was something to be expected. Just like a birthday. Win- ning is fun but not new. Next, when asked if there were any big changes in school since last year, Krista Keys replied, “We have different lockers! That was the BIG change! Finally, Kevin Lentz asked, “Have you ever noticed that the color you associate with school is grey?” An appropriate observation. Grey is a mixture of black and white — generic colors. Although students may change from year to year, Midway High School will probably be what it is as long as it exists: at times a learning place, at times a boring place, and just a place! Oh. look at this. Jennifer, exclaims Janet Elliott, senior, about the things she collected at Career Day. Mario Anderson is glad that initiation is a part ol Midway. 2
