For those of you who attended the 45th class reunion in July, the following questionnaire was put on the tables hoping you would fill it out and leave it for the planning committee to get thoughts and ideas as they begin the conversations about the 50th!!! Not too many did! Now that some time has passed PLEASE take a few moments to give us your thoughts today! It would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU!
"[S]imply put, MHS was a wonderful high school to attend, large enough to have a superb variety of academic courses and extracurricular activities, but still small enough so we knew everyone in the class. Beyond the musicals, the band concerts, the sporting events, and the proms, the faculty and staff at MHS gave us something of incomparable value—a solid educational foundation with which we could confidently meet an ever more complex world. In the intervening 45 years, we have literally survived political and social unrest, wars, recessions and the never ending march of technology. We have moved from using an IBM Selectric Typewriter with an original and two carbons to a laptop computer with more computational capability than the entire computer system onboard Apollo 11, the mission that first put man on the moon. We have, much to our chagrin, learned “tweeting” does not refer to the sound a bird makes, but rather to a message delivered via Twitter, a part of the new and dynamic social media. In our 60s we are with it and we get it! We owe a great debt of gratitude to those teachers who helped us achieve our full potential."
