Student Enthusiasm Signifies Rising MHS Spirit The MHS pep band adds lively notes of enthusiasm to pep assemblies. 'it in .- 1: . vs , il. School spirit at MHS boomed to an all time high. At the beginning of the football season the 615 sea- son tickets sold surpassed last year's sale of 120 season tickets. Spirit boosting aids included the painting of a maroon M in the center of the gym floor. A large sign depicting a Caveman and Tupper Field, Home of the fighting Misha- waka Cavemen was painted on the back of the press box in the stadium. Several organizations have also added to the rising spirit at MHS. The M-Men's club sponsored a dance after the bonfire in Merrifield Park for all MHS students. License plates with MHS Boosters printed on them were sold by the Booster's Club. Further building school spirit was the sale of sweatershirts em- bossed with MHS bythe GAA. Trying to involve more students in school spirit, student committees were formed. The pep session com- mittee created and participated in the skits presented during pep as- semblies. The sign committee eased the burden of the cheerleaders by helping them make signs and ban- ners for the games. Slgnmaking was made easier with the purchase of the sign shop which contains all the ma- terials needed for making signs. Special cheers and youthful lungs combined to create an atmosphere of victory at all sport activities. But school spirit was not only the cheer- ing at the games, it was the chatter in the halls, the enthusiasm in class, and the attendance at club meet- ings. MHS'ers were tuned in to school spirit in 1969. g ,,-mv 'ii - . N ' 1 ,, Yibf ' f Q , I -1. QW if S F ' - f'l7 4 i 'iiiiifa , iii 4 - , .-...L . V, .,. , .,. . 'Q L: 1 'Un tg.. ,.

Tropical Isle Junior Motif for '68 Prom After searching for a unique prom idea, MHS juniors decided on an island setting. A huge Tiki idol and mountain waterfall transformed the gym to island. Numerous palm trees were scattered through- out the gym. Tables with center- pieces of pineapple and coconuts further carried out the island at- mosphere. Tiki masks and murals accented the walls. Arriving at the Prom from the numerous punch parties and ex- clusive restaurants, the couples forgot the day's hectic attempts to ready the gym and prepare them- selves. Couples took turns tossing coins into the pool and making wishes. Others danced to the Con- tinental's music. For seniors, the night's activities carried through the morning hours as they danced and splashed at the community YMCA. N. -I . 4, Q 4' i x 2 - SS? fc - .
