Filling the classrooms and congregating in the halls of MHS, 1400 students- sophomores, juniors, seniors - attended school 185 days during the 1956-1957 year. The enrollment was the largest on record. The classes worked together in harmony and unity, strengthening the school spirit. At pep assemblies they cheered their loud- est in competition yellsg at games they rooted as one. Waltzing beneath a heaven- like ceiling of blue and white sprinkled with sparkling silver notes, the seniors and their dates were the guests of the junior class at the junior-senior prom, f'May Melody. Climaxing three-years of high school for the seniors was the Senior Ball, As Time Goes By, held May 25. Early in May the sophomores and juniors elected Student Congress and class officers for next year. Seniors who had studied the process of voting in their civics classes supervised the elections for their classmates. For the classes, too-this was A BAN- NER YEAR!
