SUMMER PRACTICE. Not even locked gates could keep MHS cheerleaders from work- outs. They scaled the Tupper Field fence at 6:30 a.m. for summer drills. Spare Time Goes Out of Style When ORIENTATION. Carole Boozer ushers fresh- men to seats for a series of talks on MHS clubs, sports, publications, and traditions. The flurry of purchasing season football tickets, shopping for shifts, textured stockings, and madras shirts and blouses, and worming our way in infinitely long lines to rent textbooks rudely dumped us from the leisure of summer into the hectic world of time schedules, classes, and homework. Oftentimes after spending the day at school and returning home for a quick supper, we hurried back to participate in extra-curricu- lar activities. We practiced band routines, rehearsed for class plays, attended various club meetings, and cheered for our team at games. Returning home again, we tried to find time for a little home- work and Mr. Novak, The Munsters, and Bewitched. We plagued counselors with varied problems — from shortening the school day for after-school jobs to cramming seven-hour sched- ules with band and orchestra, A Cappella Choir, developmental reading, office work, dance class. CAA. and four solids. In September football players ran through tires on the practice field, cross country harriers trotted barefooted through the grass in Merrifield Park, tennis players slammed balls back and forth in practice matches on the courts, and tankers stumbled out of bed at 5:30 a.m. to swim laps. Along with these athletes we happily roasted by the raging bonfire at the Booster Club pep rally just before the start of school. The first pep session of the year was highlighted by a visit from LBJ , who was well protected by several armed secret-service agents. Boasting of a fine MHS football team, he called for a class- by-class vote, and our team was declared victorious even before we played the game with Gary Horace Mann. In the evening we yelled to Fight Song and Charge with the band, and our prophecy came true: we won.

Spanking Judge, Misko Staff, Hoot Group CONCENTRATION. Occasionally students like Anna Dunkleberger, Kent Kem- merling, and Ted Spear do try to study at the library. However, during the busy hours between 6:30 and 8:30, it is difficult to find a vacant seat, let alone study. SUBSCRIPTION ASSEMBLY. Cart-pushing janitor Dick LeMon was one of many color- ful characters who appeared in the Misko- deed Man-on-the-Street skit. October was chocked full of assembly programs. To kick off the Miskodeed subscription drive, the 1965 sfaff presented a Man-on-the-Street skit. A Caveman carrying a Miskodeed chiseled out of stone, a gangster who hoped to steal the entire 1750 copies of the Miskodeed because his mug shot was included, and the Beatles, who sang their famous Yea, Yea, Yea, ' urged us to subscribe. In another program for the entire school, Judge William Obermiller, the spanking judge from Whiting, told us about teen-age crimes, pointing out the effects of drinking, careless driving, and fighting. We left the assembly impressed by the fact that seemingly innocent acts can have serious conse- quences. On the lighter side a few choir members brought laughter, singing, and clapping at a Hootenanny assembly. We enjoyed such songs as All My Trials, Scotch and Soda, Banua, and Today. Sometimes our homework involved finding reference informa- tion so we moved operations to the public library. However, among friends we goofed off, wasting precious study hours. We primped for underclass pictures, practiced selections for Music Honor So- ciety auditions, prepared our favorite dishes for Home Ec and Future Teachers Clubs ' picnics, thought up ridiculous stunts for Commercial Club initiations, and then enjoyed a long-anticipated two-day vacation of sleeping ' til noon, watching television, and ig- noring homework during teachers ' convention.
