X-ceeding our X-pectations
School may not be the place to always be, but it is the place to learn. Once a student enters Mickle they are expected to learn and to particip ate in their classes. Some classes are hard work and sometimes boring while others are pure enjoyment. But learning is only a part of the day. After all the work is done people love to socialize.

Friends X-perimenting
School is a place for kids to learn buteve('l moreso,a place for them to experience new occurences. Students experiment with new friendships, new sporting events, and many activities that were once unfamiliar. But by attending school, we become aware of many important activities. Our groups of friends that we associate with lead a very important part of our lives. We've all taken our turn attending football games, dances, skating, and the inevitable bumming around at the malls. Whether one is stereotyped as a punk, freak, jock, prep, skater, or not at all, friends make an impression on us. They mold us and they change us.

X-ceptional Accessories
"Out with the old and in with the new· is a phrase with a lot of meaning to kids nowadays. Trends are one of the things that make school all the more interesting. The faster something goes out of style, the faster another trend is set And then, there 's the everpopular trends that keep coming back, such as flannels, leather, big rings, tennis shoes, moccasins and tie-dies.

Look Out Northeast
Ninth grade is going to be memorable to some, and to others, just another year down and three more to go. This year we have met new friends and become better friends with others. We also went through different phases of maturing . Ninth grade is a year that means a lot, like promotion , going on to high school, and, yes , we finally get the big hall.

Teachers Play An Important Role
This year the main focus of most of the faculty members was the middle level education. Middle level education concerns the needs of the seventh and eighth grade students at Mickle. In some ways these needs were met at the seventh grade level was by moving all the seventh grade teachers to the same hallway. The lockers for the seventh grade students were also put In that same hallway.
This year the seventh grade teachers were grouped into two different teams -a Blue team and a Red team . The counselors were also put on one of these teams The team
leaders for these students were : Mrs Euler for the Blue team and Mr. Holmes and Mrs. Ainslie for the Red team. These teachers also shared a common plann ing period.
Another goal the faculty has tried to accomplish Is the Improvement of the te,acher-student and parent relat ionship. so that students, and t11elr parents, would fe,el more free to talk to a teacher about a problem or a concern.
As you can see, the teachers and the staff here at Mickle were very committed to the middle level education

Mark
Coach Mercer was very satisfied with his varsity basketball team this year. He felt that after losing the first three games they continued to work hard and kept up their confidence. This year's team was not as strong physically as teams in the past, but have strongly improved, as well as others. Many boys on the team did a good job of scoring and on defense. Mr . Mercer has been a coach at Mickle for four years and plans to come back as a coach again next year.
