l .if 2 -a X F I' E Fggall y Iiilhlrll 0 It's hot in here! This place is drab!', It was the last week of duty for teachers. Grades were averaged and few items remained to be done. For the first time in several years the coke machine had made a profit. A committee, headed by Barbara Mas- sey priced air conditioners. Sears had the best buy, and delivery was promised the following Monday. There was enough money left over for paint, and several energetic teachers, led by Jon Robbins and Carol Roulette, donated rollers and a lot of elbow grease. A dilemma arose over what color to cover the green walls with, and after many samples brought by Joan Bat were viewed, a conventional white was chosen. The furniture was removed, and under the scrutiny of Karen Framer and Joan Bat, scrubbed with the help of several students. The windows were cleaned by Linda Hardy and Phil Lowe. Other painters were Jim Bar- field, Kay Baines, John Stevens, Mary Jackson, and Dee Ball. Al- though amateurs, the painters took their job seriously, putting on two coats with a minimum of spillage. The job was not all work, they took several breaks, including a luncheon trek to the Mayflower Cafe. It had been hoped that the air conditioner would be installed in time to cool the painters. Harold Moman put in the wiring, but the coveted machine did not arrive until the last day of duty was over. The lounge was so appeal- ing, some teachers found it hard to leave.

Year 0 Oh, No! Where's if259? Have I missed my bus? Hey, look, I see it. It's way down there. C'mon!,' Sound familiar? The majority of the student body traveled to school aboard a yel- low schoolhbus. A new state law pro- vided transportation to students liv- ing more than a mile from school. This changed the MHS bus popula- tion from 7 to 17. In some cases, the bus situations appeared ridiculous. While some buses had three or four riders, others had standing room on y the Bus Faculty members were assigned bus duty before and after school, and were reminded via the P.A. system if they failed to show up. Many teach- ers sacrificed their assigned parking spaces to no-parking signs because the buses needed more turning room. Sixth period teachers got in trouble for letting students leave classes ear- ly to go to their lockers before the buses left. However, this effort was not always successful - Hey, wait for me!
