SPRI y ME »TudENT Council Fiqkrs tIie Fever Springtime brought with it the usual drag and laziness, but this year Student Council came back with a variety of activities. Student Exchange Day kicked things off with more students participating then ever before. We enjoyed getting to know students from the other schools, as well as learning something about the way that their schools are run. Green was not only in the grass, but also in the shamrocks distributed on St. Patricks Day. For a nickel, students were able to send messages to friends and teachers on the back of shamrocks made by the Student Council. Red. white and blue also made the scene as we celebrated our first bicentennial week. Each day something different was planned. Teachers dressed as their favorite character in history, the cafeteria was decorated and students wore red, white or blue as designated by their class. Junior Olympics was another first at MHS this spring. We competed in the mummy wrap, the egg toss and the three-legged race. Others of us carried water in tablespoons and melted blocks of ice. We all took part in at least some of the springtime activities and that is what made this quarter a little more fun than it might have been.

This quarter was a good quarter for assemblies. We were entertained by Damascus Road, a six-piece band from Dallas, and more locally. Morning Watch presented Crossroads as their Easter assembly. We also had some talented MHS students perform for us. NHS received our quarters for two Three Stooges films, while our own Jazz Ensembles, under the combined direction of Mr. Keith Bearden and Cindy Mikel. relieved us of our first period drowsiness. The Drama Department presented their one act contest play Noah’s Flood to a capacity crowd. But the highlight of the assembly season was the all-school assembly which led us through 30 years of American Bandstand complete with lively dancers and the immortal Elvis. Yes, the assemblies were enjoyable as well as entertaining, but more than that, they proved to be more than just an excuse to get out of class. Mid'MORNiNq MUSIC SELLS TO STIldENTS
