Morton Is The Key MHS students have many opportunities unlocked to them — opportunities in scholastic achievement, organization, companionship, sportsmanship, social activity, and patronage. Morton presents these oppor¬ tunities by being a key itself. Symbolistic of the spirit behind Morton’s unlocked opportunities is the Morton High School key. This small black and gold key is given by a local jeweler as a charm to be worn by graduating seniors. By having this key, seniors will look back on the past years with fond memories of the experiment that blew up in the chemistry lab, the ball team rated sec¬ ond in the state, the senior banquet where everybody stuffed themselves with goodies, and finally, graduation where the tears were in as great an abundance as the caps and gowns. Even the small,. seemingly unimpor¬ tant things will be remembered—coke parties before a big dance, slumber parties where no one really slept, and mad lunches with classmates in the cafeteria. Many students have delighted in the adventure of attendihg Morton for four years. Because of this “fron¬ tier” each day is a challenge, even though it might be only a small one, and it brings them closer to the goals they wish to achieve. Through diligent study and complete cooperation students begin to approach these goals. Morton’s key will unlock future opportunities be¬ cause it will not only give students knowledge, sports¬ manship, and companionship but will definitely aid them in becoming a well-rounded adult.
