 What does spring bring? With the coming of spring, most students came down with a common ailment known as spring fever . Several assemblies were presented in an attempt to keep students interested in school life. The Traveling Salesmen provided musical entertainment during a pay assembly. Later, Monterey Cantores followed up with another musical program, In Search of Gold . By sponsoring a film festival, NHS gave students a chance to escape boredom with only a small price to pay—a quarter. If these happenings were not enough to keep students busy, there were other plans not quite so interesting. While juniors and sophomores filled out choice cards, seniors were measured for graduation caps and gowns. To climax these activities, students carried IBM cards to classes on a special bell schedule. Seeing that the epidemic of spring fever was rapidly raging, teachers arose to fight the problem. Although students tried hard, few escaped the cure.

MISC ■ ■ ■ Freedom of choice is perhaps the greatest privilege a person has. Students realized this when they were selecting courses for this year. The apathy of the 71-72 school year diminished and students took a sincere interest in the courses they chose. Relations between students and teachers had greater rapport because of this increased interest. As years go by, students are given the right to choose more electives. Since high school is preparatory for the future, MHS offered a wide selection, agriculture, drama, music, homemaking, arts, speech, languages and more, from which students could choose courses most beneficial to them. i I 24
