With the arrival of spring, we found many new things to de- vote our time to. We attended some of the 10 club banquets and picnics and wandered through the gym at the Miskodeed Auto- graph Party, gathering signatures and sentiments and admiring the new yearbooks. The Miskodeed and Alltold staffs held their annual press dinner at which the next year ' s staffs were named. Some juniors, deciding to run for Student Council offices, chose cam- paign managers and gathered their friends to paint gobs of posters and signs made on adding machine tapes reminding us to vote for them. At the Music Department ' s May Festival the band, orchestra, and choirs joined together in the traditional Battle Hymn of the Republic. Cheerleader hopefuls exercised and practiced for try- outs while Y-Teen models rehearsed for their annual dessert and style show, and Thespians initiated a new group of junior members, who had taken an active part in the play. Though we were involved in a barrage of activities, warm weather made us want to be outside, so we found many excuses to get there. We mowed lawns, cleaned swimming pools, raced motorbikes, played football and basketball, rode bicycles, went on picnics to the lake, or just relaxed in the sun. ELECTION DAY.

- i 77 ' J ■ : Upperclassmen Go From While trying to study for finals, juniors snatched hours to send invitations, find chaperones, and decorate the gym for the prom They hoped to outdo the present seniors, who created an En- chanted Forest for the 1964 Prom using a false ceiling, glittering moon, wishing well, and a tree-surrounded bridge to transform the scene of basketball games and gym classes into a romantic back- ground. We went to punch parties before the dance, and to Rocky ' s and the Diamond Harbor Inn afterwards, and then home for a few hours ' sleep before leaving for Tower Hill the next morning for a day in the sun. Seniors donned caps and gowns and took over the halls on May 28, their last regular day of high school, Admiring our friends ' numerous accomplishments, we watched them receive the many departmental, attendance, and scholarship awards on Class Night. Virginia Long gave the valedictory address and Jane Jensen, the salutatory address. At commencement we heard Mr. Robert Shaf- fer, dean of students at Indiana University and graduate of MHS. The Class of ' 65 made retiring Principal Myers an honorary mem- ber of their class. June 11 arrived. It seemed impossible that we had crammed all those hours of homework, club meetings, service projects, dates, games, dances, churchwork, jobs, and family activities into 275 days since the beginning of our school year.
