P’ve Got Touch... Goofing Off Trojan Spirit drives M CHS students crazy. As a result, crazy behavior develops in every student no matter how serious he may be. Our Trojan pride shows through even when we are just “goofin’ off.” We always manage to have fun in between classes. This provides the stamina it takes to make it through each year and is portrayed by the on and off campus pastimes. Extracurricular activities vary from toga dances and football games to bonfires and spirit parades. When these activities come to a close, the Trojan gang can usually be found at McDonald’s eating Big Macs, sipping shakes, or just hanging out. Some students choose to have part-time jobs to earn money for college, pay for a car, or for extra spending money on the weekends. Others, however, choose to spend their spare time participating in the Trojan athletic program. Both of these pastimes, in a way, are preparing them for the future by teaching them how to work with others and how to be more responsible. These pastimes reflect our generation. In ten years, we will look back at this and wonder where the time has gone and be surprised at how much or how little things have changed. So we live life while we can and make it the best! opening 11

We’ve got the touch . .. ... faculty The faculty of MCHS is guided by four administrators: Dr. Morton, Mrs. Osteen, Mr. Carter, and Mr. Leaks. Representing nine departments, and other school areas, the seventy-four faculty members, along with many non-certificated personnel, are quite active at MCHS. They teach classes in these departments: ' English, Fine Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Health-Physical Education, Business, Vocational, and ROTC. There are also librarians and guidance counselors. Other personnel available are a nurse, a job for high school graduates director, and a deputy assigned by the Shelby County Sheriff Department. The faculty also helps with the bookstore, studyhall, and cafeteria and campus duty. The faculty is also quite active in sponsoring extracurricular activities; some of these are both boys’ and girls’ sports programs, clubs, three publications, four cheerleading squads, student council, principal’s advisory council, honorary organizations, band and choir groups, and theater groups and productions. The faculty members are also class sponsors assisting with the many class activities such as dances, fundraising, and class meetings. These same MCHS faculty and other personnel are also quite active in community activities such as church, Rotary Club, Optimist Club, Millington United Fund, Chamber of Commerce, and several philanthropic organizations. However, the teachers here at MCHS are not the types that sit in their desks all day thinking of work for students to do or having a wonderful time grading the big test we just took. They go out of their way to try to make school as interesting as possible. Some teachers have to tell at least one joke or pet story to help themselves as well as their students get through the day. Faculty members do their best to make school enjoyable as well as educational. This year MCHS introduced six new teachers to the students. Mrs. Burdette, Coach Campbell, Coach Meadors, Miss Moffatt, Mrs. Pate, and Coach Turner are now contributing to the education of the students at MCHS. Also, at the end of this school year, MCHS will be losing two fine teachers when Mrs. Bowers and Mr. Nash retire. The faculty at MCHS works hard to provide the students with the education needed for their future. opening 13
