Students Tie Into the Community The business community of the city of Millington plays an important role in shaping the lives of many MCHS students. The tie between business and education is a permanent one because a person must learn and grow in order to succeed in business, as well as in all aspects of life. Mrs. Rendall, a teacher here at Millington, is the sponsor of a job placement program that has been going on for fifteen years, nine of which she has coordinated the program. Its ideals are to promote business skills and leadership and then place students in jobs that are related to their particular career interest. The jobs provided through Mrs. Rendall's program are primarily for students enrolled in her DE I and II and Marketing courses who express an interest in working. Thus far, the program has placed 95% of the students who are interested in working; this is over 8 opening

All Tied Up! At MCHS, there is no such thing as a typical day because student relationships change so quickly. The seniors often see their own reflections through watching a traditional freshman reaction to the frantic halls of MCHS. The crowded buses ramble into the parking lot and jolt people into another day at MCHS. Freshmen walk with other freshmen — darting their eyes cautiously trying to avoid upperclassmen. The upperclassmen wander aimlessly, looking for unsuspecting freshmen to harass and maybe throw into trash cans. The cafeteria is another interesting aspect of MCHS. One gets a chuckle out of watching all of the classes run for the line as soon as the bell for lunch rings. The path to the cafeteria is almost as crowded as the hallway. The staircase of MCHS is literally a dangerous place to be between classes. Nobody wants to be late anymore than the next guy, so everyone rushes to class. After the excitement of the new-coming freshmen has been absorbed, the students begin working together in order to develop school spirit. It takes all of these diversities to tie MCHS together. What could be bad characteristics of some schools only pulls us all closer together. Opposite Page: Top Left: Student in the library. Lower Left: Students on staircase.

There are also many MCHS students who are actively work-ng in our community in addition to those in the job placement program. These students have gone out seeking and have ound their jobs. The jobs held by Millington students and graduates range from fashion designing to working at McDonald's to banking. It seems as though one cannot get groceries, gas, flowers, or open a checking account without be-ng greeted by a familiar and friendly face. It is important to get work experience while in high school, and it is important to respect those who already have. For the leaders of the business world are the leaders of mankind.” The following students work throughout the community. They are Matt Morrison, an MCHS student at Wendy s. Lisa Doyon.
