Each cheerblock should be proud of the superb sportsmanship it displayed. —M.H.S.— An added attraction was seen at this game. For the first time at an MHS home ball game, a program listing the players of the first and second teams, officials, cheerleaders etc. was handed out. —M.H.S.— The Monmouth PTA is sponsor-

ing a bake sale to be held at the Goodyear store, Saturday. The entire school benefits from the various PTA projects so it is hoped that anyone who craves maybe a homemade loaf of bread or a "scrumptudus” cake, will stop in the Goodyear Store, Saturday morning, to get his week-end supply of Sweets and at the same time support a very ambitious organization. —M.H.S.— The 7th grade of MHS recently held a party after school. The games were furnished by Billy Jones, Bob Auer, and Don Brown. The refreshments consisted of apple cider and doughnuts and were served by Sherry Harkless, Elaine Weidler, and Kay Stevens.

Every time, they had to be rung by hand. Sometimes one period would be 5 minutes short, and the next. 5 minutes long. Some kids weren’t saved by the bell that day. —M.H.S.-— Exams, exams, and more exams!! This has been the one word that every student shudders at, here at MHS.
