One in a Million A class with only four other students? Office suspension? Tutoring program? Eighth grade proficiency test? MHS is “one in a million” in several ways. Could you imagine vourself in a class with only four other stu- dents? Or two others? Yet small classes, seldom exceed- ing 25, are common at our school. We were the first in the state to adopt minimal com- petency standards as a requirement. We also have a ‘ killer” proficiency test in English that all eighth grad- ers take. All these tests must lx? doing some good because one of us scored in the top 10% of all black students taking the PSAT test. We also like to keep our students in school. When a disciplinary problem arises, instead of being sent home, they lock you up in a room with a bunch of other “bad” kids and make you do school work all day. Also we have the new Tutoring Program which uses members of the National Honor Society. These students spare an hour out of their busy schedules to help others. Because of the high aca- demic standards, more than 80% of each graduating class go to college and one third receive some scholarship assistance. Gazing into the library display case is Marc Patmon. 2

One in a Million Computers called Apple II? Influential Patrons? The football team has gone to the play-offs every year since we have been a high school, seven to be exact. They were state run- ners-up twice. Our basketball team has been class 2A state champi- ons two consecutive times. This can only be attributed to those many hours of jump- ing to touch the sixth row of bricks above the tile in the gym. The students and faculty at MHS have a variety of influential relatives within the community. These include a state senator, several state representatives, a city councilman, a newspa- per publisher, a fire chief, a judge, a police captain, researchers, high-ranking FAA and Tinker Field AFB Think quick ' is what Johnnie Williams apparently not only does on the field hut in the class-’ room.
