IN APPRECIATION It takes more than brick and mortar to build a school. The finest building is worthless as an educational institution were it not for the men and women who guide its destinies and for the ceaseless stream of yearning youth which flows through its portals. To all of those who this year, and in other years now behind, have contributed in any measure to the growth and development of Marietta High School, THE OLYMPIAN pauses now to pay tribute. Just as the individuals themselves have been varied, so have their con- tributions been of many different natures. To them all, however, we direct this brief message of appreciation. To our faculty and administrators go heartfelt thanks for their con- stant efforts to keep lofty the academic standards of the institution. Their labors are daily bearing fruit in the human products that issue forth from Marietta High t o take their various stations in life as worth- while members of society. Members of the Board of Education, leaders of the city, and every citizen of Marietta who has contributed in any measure, however small, toward the consistent advancement of education here — these all have merited our grateful thanks. THE OLYMPIAN particularly wishes to thank those students and teachers, merchants and townspeople, who by their friendly coopera- tion and gracious assistance have made this volume possible. Their aid and interest is deeply appreciated.

crfftex FOUR YEARS Way back in 1937 A. D. this present class of dignified seniors made their first appearance in ye old Marietta High school. Quite a memorable year it was too! Remember how bewildered we were? Our class was headed by Jane Bray, president; Larry Hagood, vice- president; Lillian Tomlinson, secretary; and Annette Brumby, treasurer. By the time October rolled around we had learned to find the right classroom at the right time and were thrilled at the prospect of the annual Halloween Car- nival. We chose Annette Brumby as our Queen but the Senior Queen walked away with the Carnival Queen crown of roses. Some of us went on the trip to Wash- ington and had a marvelous time. Feeling the absurd assurance only a sophomore can feel we dutifully returned to the classrooms in the fall of ' 38. Much to our disappointment the Halloween carnival custom was put aside. However, another Washington trip was planned. A few of us were permitted to attend the all important Junior-Senior and Senior dances and looked yearningly ahead to the time when we, too, could attend the banquets. Ho hum ! Another September, another year of school. But what a year ! A new Gym building was going up across the street and a new course of mechanical drawing was offered under the supervision of Mr. E. D. Covington. We be- gan to get the feel of things and entered into the spirit of the Halloween car- nival by pushing our Junior Class Queen, Annette Brumby, to the grand climax as Queen of the Carnival. More progress was illustrated by the founding of the Quill and Scroll journalistic club whose members promptly showed their ability and initiative by editing the first school magazine, The Scroll. At last we came into our own. Some of us were elected to Lucky 13 and P. S. Clubs; some of us became cheer- leaders; and some of the best of our boys and girls fought for the old Alma Mater on the basketball courts and on the football gridiron with remarkably sue- REMINISCING ' President Richard Wat- kins, secretary Lillian Tomlinson, and treasurer Lt.
