At Least 5”TaIAer Prom and Graduation The end of the year brought around many big events. To some these were the most important of all at MHS. Prom, like any other year, was a big social event for the ones fortunately enough to participate. Although it is an annual occurrence, there is something unique about every Prom and 1979 was no exception to the rule. The few weeks prior to the dance were filled with gossip, better personalities, and nice clothes. Shopping for a different dress was a common goal among girls and having the guys rent a coordinating tux was also of extreme importance. The night was filled with entertainment, good food, dancing and finally breakfast. It was a memorable event for all. Seniors tended to unite more toward the close of the year due to common interests like graduating, sentiment, and the future. Many were awarded honors and scholarships for their accomplishments and by then the official graduating ceremony was just around the corner. Graduation night was a time when seniors could say “goodbye” and “hello.” It was both a time to be sad and a time to be happy. The class of 79 made their contributions and impressions on MHS and we all missed them very much.

I N For those hard to get to places! Whether it was the Brainard mud hole. Baker Road, or his neighbor's yard, John Tuthill’s CJ5 made it through. Hey buddy can you spare a ride? Everybody was always going somewhere and it wasn't always good to come up with a car. So Sanford Paulsen Let his fingers do the walking. Most people ended up hitchhiking when good old mom didn't show up with the car and you were already a half hour late for work. Hitchhiking is about the only free transportation and it does get you there. 18 Transportation
