One of eu1 liggest problemswas the "set." It called for,among other things, an eleva-tor and French windows, neitherof which abound backstage atMHS. The window at the top ofthe stairs caused quite a fewtraffic jams, too, until it wasreplaced by an upside-down

Individual scoring: BobMatteson had 19 points and 3fouls; Hoover Case, 16 points,3 fouls; Lew Davison, l2points;and Mike Cruise, 5 points.

Team totals were: fieldgoals - 25; free tlrows - 13;team fouls - 6; team points -61.

HOW WEREYOUR GRADES?By Charlotte Francis

How were your grades thefirst quarter? They weren't asgood as they could have been,right? Aw, come ott, behonest. . . That's more like it.Don't rationalize your lowmarks.

If you can honestly say YESto the previous question, threebrownie points for you. If youcan't, "Uh Oh." You betterwatch out, or either decide tosublimate your grades.

ff your grades WERtr in tip-top shape, don't slack off. Con-tinue studyir8 and keep themup there. You'll be the one togo the farthest later on.

If your answer was a mumbledno, you better bury your head.The best place to bury it isin a book; the book to the classttrat produced your lowestgrade.

Sfudyinc won't hurt you, itonly takes time. You CAN planyour time so you won't missit at all. Have you ever triedit?

The more you study, thebetter off you will be. You doknow it's for your own good,don't you?

"All In One DoY"

By Ramona VinyardSaturday was a very busy

day for many high school stu-dents of MHS. Bright and earlysome of the more talented musi-cal minded students left forSMS to participate in the dis-trict chorus clinic. Then, theever present marching bandperformed in the Veteran's pa-rade. This was the first timethis event has been held inMarshfield. Following theparade, the band played theNational Anthem before thespeeches began.

SMS held its annual collegeday on the campus Saturday.Interested students at0ended andreported that they learned sev-eral ihings about the SMS cam-pus life and general collegelife. The chorus shrdents whowere not caught in on the all-day event held a practice sing-ing in the music hall. So afterall Satrrday was, indeed, avery busy day for many of thehigh school students.

To Go orNor lo €oBy Ramona Vinyard

A question that every student,will or has already asked him-self is the one of "shall Igo to college,'l This questionwill be pondered .on more andmore as the student reachesthe last years of high school.Those with less determinationwill hunt for excuses for nothaving a definite answer. Manymay say they canlt afford to goto college. No one can affordNOT to go. With modern timesapproaching this world at arapid pace, a college educationis a must.

For the student who is fi-nancially unable to support him-self through college there arenumerous ways in whichhemaybe supported if he has ambitionand determination. The govern-ment is doing a wonderful jobin helping students who arewiiling to sacrifice a little inorder to become educated. Acollege student who is workingpart-time is very highly re-spected and the degrees heearns are much more appre-ci;ated. Scholarships are givento t}e strdent who has shownoutstandirg scholastic abiliBthrowhout his hrgh schoolyears.

There are hundreds of collegeand ..universities located inevery part of tfte United States.Surely one of thesewillinteresteach student enoryh to makedefinite plans of reaching tlntcollege degree mark.
