Reflections The Summer Of VVRROOOOOOOOMMMMH! Drums tapping, people laughing, a roar of ma- chinery in the background. These are just some of the sounds you hear during Nulvane Old Settlers weekend in Au- gust. It ' s a fun time; a time where kids get together with friends they haven ' t seen all summer, families reunite, or a time to just sit back and have a great time. Some events of Old Settlers are the parade, which doesn ' t only contain Old Settlers but offers a variety of floats and entries that involve many high school students; and the park program that is always interesting and fun to watch. The Pom Pon girls usually enter the contest during the park program and put on an entertaining show with their new moves. Also the ever-famous Rod and Custom Car Show that attracts all sorts of car freaks ' and lets everyone do a little car browsing. Then the carnival ends and everyone goes home. This is when we sense it, deep down inside, our stomach chums a feeling of back-to-school blues. When the Little Miss Pioneer contest is an- nounced in the newspaper and the bu- sinesses downtown set up their window displays, you know that soon, very soon, the day will come to return to the mighty halls of Nulvane high School. • • Junior, Kathy Saxton and Seniors, nicli Fortin and Todd Fox, upper riglit discuss the days festivities. Senior, Anthony Middendorf, right is all smiles as he works a stand at the car show. 4 Summer ' 86

We ' ve Made It Through The Years The first school building was built in Mulvane in 1879. It was a three room wooden building, which was for all grades and a few high school subjects were taught. The first separate high school was built and completed in 1918. The school colors were orange and black. These colors were changed to green and white in 1921. The athletes were called Wildcats. This school was used until the present day high school was built in 1954. The old |iigh school was condemned and razed. A new Alma Mater, written by Q. C. Daniels, was adopted in 1955 and in 1960, four new classrooms were added to the school. The year 1974 saw a large addition added to the high school. A large commons area was provided and con- siderable renovation done. We have truely made it through the years 108 years to be exact! The MHS of the past. MHS, the fall of ' 86 6 Then Piow
