The Hats Govs Wear We adjust to the occasion Throughout our years at Morton, we witness and go through many changes, meet new people, and come across new ideas. Things always seem to change. Im¬ provements to beautify the school, such as the walls being painted last year, and the bulletin boards in the main hallways being decorated this year illustrate this.

We are no longer the same community we were fifteen years ago. Each of us is no longer the same person we started the school year as. Each of us has grown, matured, and learned over this school year. We are all individuals. We each do different things — wear a different hat at a different time. Sometimes we wear many hats. Top Hat chose “Many Hats — Many Faces” as a theme this year to show the individualism that is in each one of us. Yet, by attending this school, we are all united. Top Hat picked a penguin to portray Mr. Governor. One can find him throughout the book wearing different hats on each division page. We may all be individuals, but we are all Morton Governors too.
