V/ith the construction finished after four years of work, MN

seemed to finally become familiar to students and staff ali ke. V/ rth

nerther new classrooms to move rnto nor new classroom numbers to

adjust to, settling in at the beginning of the year came easier than in

years past. Having the same setup of the bui lding as last year helped

many to become comfortable rn new and old situations.

Twenty-year-old traditions remained the s2me. Seniors started

off the year wrth demonstrations of the prrde and spirit underclassmen

looked up to at 1>he football games and in the hallways. Cheering, despite

pouring rain and cold temperatures, lifted the sprrits of all who attended

any sporting event. Energy could be felt by anyone who entered the

building .

The senror class contrnued to have the s.ame luxury of open cam-

pus, as did previous classes. However, policy changes by the school board,

no longer allow juniors modified open campus. Senior classes to come

would still have the abilrty to leave the bu ilding during open periods and

lunch hours throughout the day, until otherwise stated by the school

board.

MN remained at the top of the state with success on state-wide

standardized tests and national examrnatrons. Among the three Mrllard

high schools, MN received the highest ACT scores. MN continued to excel

rn its academics. Opportunities remained available to students through

an array of elective classes to select from. Experienced staff continued

to contribute the s.ame excellence in classroom atmospheres.

Through years of continuous changes to the burldrng and class

requrrements, many of the s2me qualities were strll to be found through-

out the halls of MN.
