ANNOUNCEMENTS
Remembering our growing up years
The girls had gym uniforms. Red shorts if I recall, with an inner elastic band.
It took three minutes for the TV to warm up.
Nobody owned a purebred dog.
A quarter was a decent allowance. And made with real Silver.
You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny made with real copper. Looking to see if it was a 1943 copper penny!
Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces.
You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking. And you didn't pay for air.Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box.
It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents. Maybe that happened 1 to 3X a year.
A 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car...
No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked.
Lying on your back in the grass with your friends and saying things like, 'That cloud looks like a...
Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game.
Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger.
When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited the student at home.
There weren't drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, pandemics.
There were summers filled with bike rides, Hula hoops, visits to the pool, and drinking Kool-Aid.
Do you remember Howdy Doody and The Peanut Gallery, the Lone Ranger, The Shadow Knows, Nellie Bell, Roy and Dale, Trigger and Buttermilk.
Candy cigarettes. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside. Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles. Restaurants and coffee shops with Table Side Jukeboxes.
Blackjack, Clove and Teaberry chewing gum. Bubble gum. Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers.
Newsreels before the movie.
4-digit phone numbers.
 Hi-Fi's & 45 RPM records. 78 RPM records!
Green Stamps.
Mimeograph paper and purple all over your finger.
Catching The Fireflies Could Happily Occupy An Entire Evening?
Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles?
The Worst Embarrassment was being picked last for a team?

School Hymn
Through the years at our MHS,
Red and blue will proudly fly;
And the spirit of it lingers
As each year goes by.
Many happy times together
Spent in perfect harmony
All these memories we will cherish
MHS of thee.
Lyrics by Marilyn Lawrence
Music by Armon Adams
