Activities included giving gifts to underprivileged families at Christmas. The dub's sponsor was Mr. Charles Smith. 37 The (J u i et Colics The Library Club was designed to help students of the school become more familiar with the library, its books, and functions.

Beta also serves as a reward for academic achievement, and to encourage and assist students to continue their education after high school. The Beta Club's main project of the year was the book fair, but when will the books arrive??? . . . only time will tell. 39 I he Nature Lovers? The nature trail at M.H.S. is kept up-to- date with the help of the Biology Club.

Old members always come up with new ideas that are edu- cational and comical. The dub has had various fund raising projects. The money will be used to cover the expenses of a trip in the spring, hopefully to Florida. Mrs. Kirby has been concerned with seeing that the members learn more about science through the different pro- grams at their meetings.

Miss Sue Reynolds was the sponsor. 42 Alajorcttcs Spin Again The 1971 majorettes helped give the pep rallies that added spark of spirit they needed.

The journalism class of MHS work- ed diligently on the Boomerang and the Kanuhsheta. Mrs. Garrett's junior English class endured the hardships of writing term papers while Mrs. Burch's English 103 wrestled with expanding their vo- cabularies. 57 The A nswers to I omorrow Mrs. Gault's Spanish was con- cerned mostly with learning the fundamentals of the language, while Spanish II students used the lab to acquaint themselves with its fluent application. Bottom Right, Mrs. Postell's sophomore English class is taught the fundamentals of basic grammar. At i rc in Today s hducation Mr. Palmer's mechanical drawing and math analysis classes gained an awareness and appreciation of the immense contribution of math- ematics to mankind. Mr. Smith's reading improvement class read a variety of literature, including clas- sic comic books. 59 7 ime, Socicty, or Miss Reynold's geography class made use of their time exploring our world, while Mrs. Snow ex- plored the world of M.H.S. through Algebra and Trig. Mr. Hall strived to make each student think and become an active citizen in our nation and world. 60 Unlimited L essons Miss May's art class provided the individual with an opportunity to develop his creativity. Mrs. Mea- dow's biology class studied other creations under the microscope. In Math Analysis the creation of num- bers were put to practical use. 61 Science an J P. E. In Mrs. Kirby's chemistry class the stu- dents were made aware of livings things, their properties, and the chemical com- position of the material world. Her physics class got a broad comprehension of the physical world around them. Mr. Hendrix's physical science class studied the entire science field in general. 62 Keep Us I read in’ Mr. Poste 11 taught classes this year that studied the development of life and others that aided in that development, in his P. E. class daily exercises helped in the develop- ment of strong bodies. His biology class studied the development of life in its various forms. His ad- vanced P. E. class was made up mostly of our athletic teams. 63 Putting It Mrs. Ray's Typing class learned the basic principles of typing. Don't look at your hands! She prepared her Shorthand class for a business or office vocation, while Shorthand II students continued their advanced study and office practice. 64 All I ogether Mr. McCombs economics class studied money management while his Democracy in Action class studied how the govern- ment spends it. In his P.E. class, he strived to develop a better individual, physically, mentally, and socially. 65 D.E. students prepared them- selves for a career with on- the-job training. M.H.S. agri- culture boys helped our school with their various projects. The results of the classes' study and teamwork have won them state-wide recognition. 66 Mrs. Bristol's classes painted, made candles, and learned a- bout the different vocations that they may pursue. Mrs. McConnell's Typing II class continued their typing skills by practicing daily drills. Her Basic Business class prepared themselves to take their places in the highly technical world of business. 67 Road C an Miss Reynolds taught her P.E. stu- dents sportsmanship, health educa- tion, and First Aid. Her geography class was taught the physical, poli- tical, and economic aspects of dif- ferent countries. The primary pur- pose of driver's education was to develop the learner's ability to safe- ly operate an automobile. 68 Be T rave led Every phase of home life was stressed in home economics. Girls in this course learned to budget time, money and energy. In library science some students stayed busy keeping books in their proper order on the shelves while others mended books and wrote and collected fines, and others added to the general confusion. 69 Like to Music filled the Round-house when Mrs. Puett's chorus began this year. Old songs and new were sung as Mrs. Puett directed and Thelma Ledford accompanied on the piano. Mrs. Puett's psychology class studied understanding human behavior. 70 the World to Sin The band of MHS added color, support, and entertainment to our various activi- ties. It was led by the drum majorette, Susan Hatchett. All-State Band members were chosen: Dianne Arp and Eva Killian.
