Enrollment Goes Smoothly Splrlt Abounds Exciting! That's the word Marta Gil, foreign exchange stu- M' John Dmll 055'S'G ' me P C'PUl d 'eCfS Sludems 'O The PYOPGY 'OCC dent from Sao Paulo, Brazil, used to describe living in Midwest City. Marta soon felt very much a part of her host family, Mr. and Mrs. Harold DeHon and their daughter Martha, and she adiusted well to life in Oklahoma-cold weather and all. Un- like Brazil, where there are no school-sponsored organizations, at MCHS Marta participated in Student Council, Pep Club, Honor Society, and Tri-Hi-Y. She found the practice of general dating and many pastime activities very different from Brazi- lian customs. Watching her first football game and riding in a parade thrilled her. Perhaps Marta's feelings about MCHS were best expressed in her statement, lt's a wonderful feel- ing to know that out of a country as big and great as the USA, I am in the perfect place.

Youth Swings with Action in Neighborhood After five days of classroom work, one especially looks for- ward to a weekend of enioyment and relaxation. Whether it be a movie, a steak dinner, or just a coke, dating is enioyed by most MCHS students. Although sophomores sometimes have problems getting in on the social swing, they look forward to becoming sweet sixteen. Getting the keys to the car and earning extra money at his neighborhood supermarket lead to a boy's asking his favorite girl for a date. Social life may include a mixer after a Friday night game, a movie on Saturday night, a picnic or drive on Sun- day, or a visit to one of the local lakes or amusement centers. Bombers are eager to take part in the centuries-old pastime of dating, which provides for social maturity and meeting people. Fellows often advance to giving their girl a drop, once called going steady. MCHS introduces students to one another and creates activities for dating: frequent formal and casual dances, occasional movies, plays, and scores of sports events. Each year sees the influx of fads. The current term brought mod clothes with mini-skirts, colored fishnet stockings and square- taed shoes, long hair lnatural or fallsl, boots, and sideburns. Pep Club seniors wore fringed garters and iuniors sported cowboy hats. Enioying an after-the-game pizza, iuniors Debbie Dunn and Rick Bachman Devid Hutchinson flnses his Col Gt U local CUV WGSP1.
