May each page recall the activities, the school spirit, and the friendships which are cherished as a part of our alma mater. To JAtr. Anderson Among the best in our treasure chest Of jewels fine and dandy Is someone ideal, in class or on field — He ' s knoii ' n to us a s JXD) . In sincere appreciation for the wise and competent guidance he has given our athletic teams in the past years, we, of the Senior Class, dedicate the 1947 Olympian to Mr. Harrison Anderson. ADMINISTRATION Judge Hawkins For many years Judge Hawkins has presided faithfully over the Board of Education, always keep- ing in mind the welfare of every student. At the end of this semes- ter, his term of loyal service as the supervisor of all our activities and undertakings will be ended, and, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you, Judge Hawkins. BOARD OF EDUCATION As fine a set as ever met To make a school ' s foundation: As good as GOLD, with value untold. Is the Board of Education. MR. E. D. COVINGTON -Mr. Covington has had a great deal of experi- ence with high school students, first as a shop teacher and next as mechanical drawing instruc- tor. During the past five years, his constant and serious efforts both as our principal, and as ad- visor of the Diversified Cooperative Training group, have helped create and uphold the school ' s high standard. Mr. Covington is the embodiment of stability, efficiency, dignity— all the traits which are required of a capable leader of a high school. MR. SHULER ANTLEY -Mr. Antley, superintendent of Marietta Schools, is a man whom all of us know and ad- mire greatly. For the past five vears he has been superintendent of all Marietta Schools. Because of Marietta ' s rapid growth, three new schools have been built and added to those already under his supervision. However, this added responsibil- ity has not kept him from showing a personal in- terest in each individual pupil. He is always will- ing and anxious to talk to us and to help in straightening out our problems. MR. J. R. GALLISON Returning from the service this vear. Mr Callison has efficiently stepped into the dual role of eighth-grade English teacher and principal of the inn .Street Building. .Alreadv he has won the friendship of many bewildered freshmen by helping them plan their courses and solve their numerous problems. Eecause of this ability in dealing with students, we know that Mr. Calli- son will continue to be esteemed, not onlv by freshmen, hut by all classes.

And now they shine, in brilliance fine, With all defects abolished. The four long years we saw ahead of us back in 1943 have almost ended and, alas, they have seemed much too short ! Each year has bound us with stronger ties of friendship and now when we realize that graduation is so near, there is sadness mingled with our joy. We have labored, loved, laughed, and even cried together. We ' ve worked, we ' ve played ; we ' ve won, we ' ve lost ; we ' ve sung, we ' ve danced together. Left to right: Bobby Johnson President Collier Keathley Vice-President Bolan Glover Treasurer Stanley Williams Secretary 18 We have won some honors, yes, but also made mistakes — yet, with the encouragement of teach- ers and parents and a strong desire to reach our goal, step by step, we have made the grade. So it is with a deep sense of gratitude and apprecia- tion that we approach the eve of our gradua- tion day. In regard to the comparison of Seniors to dia- monds, we hope that we have reached a status of out of the rough and that we are readv for the further polishing of college, or whatever may follow high school. 1.

The Junior Qlass Of the lads and lassies of various classes The Juniors are fullest of fun; Like RUBIES they gloic ; their warmth they bestow On each and every one. Why are the Juniors so jolly and rollicking? Be- cause, having passed the timidity and anxiety of the freshman year and still under-class consciousness of the sophomore year, they have successfully reached the t hird rung of the ladder. And rightfully they feel im- portant! With the strain of Seniorhood not yet upon them, they can more or less relax, rejoicing in their past accomplishments and anticipating the thrill of next year. However, they are not entirely carefree — thosi courses must all be passed before they can be full Hedged Seniors. And then there ' s the annual banque that they must put on for the Seniors — it ' s a lot of fui but a lot of work. It ' s the highlight of the year. There are so many things to brighten the life o Juniors that they go steadfastly and happily on thei way, in turn making brighter the life of the wholi school. 36 lams, Jack Alexander, Evelj n Anderson, Billy Anderson, Richard Austin, James Baer, James ildwin, Vera Baskin, Ed Bentley, Jack Bettis, Helen Sue Blocker, Billy Bray, Kenneth ook .

The Sophomore Qlass Their first year past, and ivise at last, Are the Sophomore boys and girls. And to M.H.S.ers, they ' re just as precious As any pirate ' s PEARLS. And they ' re just as smooth, too, these Sopho- mores! Though the term silly has been frequently used to describe this particular stage of life, we find that the equally popular adjective wise better suits this set of students. After one year ' s experi- ence, they have acquired poise and dignity to a marked degree and have increased their spirit of loyalty and dependability. They have learned to obey orders without asking questions and to par- ticipate cooperatively in all school activities. Academically speaking, they have absorbed almost one-half the requirements necessary for graduation, so why shouldn ' t they be a little puffed up ? 40 MA, m% ' li Adams, Marie Anderson, Miriam Baggett, Barbara Bankly, Joyce Barrield, Karl Bartield, Richard Ba rmore, John Barron, Dorothy Barrow ' s, Barbara Baxter, Julian Beasley, Fred Bettis, Frank Bidwell, Lillias Bidwell, Mary Lou Birchler, Doris Birchler, Robert Bishop, George Bishop, Wayne Black, Angela Black, Barbara Black, Helen Blair, Ann Bolden, Edwin Boles, Ralph Boring, Betty Brackett, Christin- Bradbury, Betty Brooks, jane Brooks, Roberta Brown, Ann Brown, Buddy Brown, Hugh Brown, Ann Brown, Lamar Brown, Norman Brown, Oneder Burleson, Evelyn Bryan, Sarah Bryan, Bernard Burton, Betty Butler, Judson Cain, Homer Camp, J.

Conferences are held throughout the year for the Hi- Club.

The success of the annual Christian Life Confer- ence, which was held at Marietta this year, was largely due to the earnest efforts of the Senior Tri- Hi- . Together with the Hi- ' s, they were respon- sible for the entertainment of one hundred delegates from northwest Georgia. Other main projects were the sponsoring of a Hihle Study course, a clean speech campaign and a temperance campaign. At Thanksgi ing and at Christmas, contrihutions for needy families were col- lected and dehYered by members. Last, but not least, selling cokes and candy at games brought both fun and reyenue to the club.

SOPHOMORE TRI-HI-Y That group of Sophomore girls you see almost every Sunday attending in a body the different churches in town are the thirty mem- bers of the Sophomore Tri-Hi-Y. Under the capable leadership of Miss Lucy Robinson, their advisor, and of Sara Dell Car- ter, their president, this group, organized in the fall of 1945, have completed a very suc- cessful year. They have helped the Red Cross in more ways than one by supporting Red Cross drives and by making favors for Lawson General Hospital. At Christmas they took food and gifts to the underprivileged people of Marietta. These willing and eager girls took an active part in the Christian Life Conference held in Marietta this year.

FRESHMAN HI-Y AND TRI-HI-Y Hi- and Tri-Hi-Y are not limited to upperclass- men. Freshmen are also given an opportunity to be members of a Hi-Y club. Under the direction of Mrs. Dobbins, Tri-Hi-Y advisor, and of Mrs. Swain, Hi-Y advisor, these two clubs have worked throughout the year. They have functioned much as the senior clubs, by sponsoring speech campaigns, providing for needy families, and aiding the Red Cross. These Hi-Y clubs provide a fine start for Fresh- men in High School life. 53 Left to right: June White, Charles Powell, William Garner, Ralph Adair, Herbert Saxton, Wallace Montgomery, Merrilyn Welch, Faye Newton, Katherine Willis, Larry Johnson, Jesse Merritt, Bettv Bradbury, Tommy Oglesby, Ola Ann Sims, Robin Moore, Don Garrison.

STUDENT COUNCIL The purpose of the Student Government Asso- ciation of Marietta High School is to maintain the standard of the school, foster school spirit, bind the faculty and the student body more closely, and de- velop leadership and initiative. With the help of Miss Beulah Wills, faculty ad- visor, and Katherine Willis, capable president of Student Council, the representatives from all classes have successfully completed many projects. They sponsored the essay contest, clean-up drive, honesty campaign, and started the Beta Club and Honor Study Hall. Marietta High ' s Student Council sent delegates to the Southern Association of Student Government in St. Petersburg and to the Georgia Association of Student Government in Brunswick. At the latter meeting, Marietta ' s Council was chosen to provide the vice-president for the coming year. Our Council is young, but it is growing rapidly and taking a more active and influential part each year in the program of our school.

The M Club, composed of those students who have earned an athletic letter, is an honorary club, which meets every other week in the gym. This club encourages clean sports as well as good sportsmanship. This year, the M Club has stressed the honor of wearing a school letter. Under the guidance of their faculty advisor, Mr. Presley, they have asked stu- dents, who have been wearing letters that they did not earn, not to wear these letters but to go out for a sport and win a letter. At the end of the year M Club formed a tennis team. This team gave students interested in tennis a chance to win recognition for themselves as well as for the school. Membership in the M Club is open to all stu- dents who earn the block M.

The purpose of this club is to prepare boys and girls of high school age, who are not going to college, for work in which they are interested. The club teaches students a vocation and also enables them to earn enough money to complete their high school education independently.

THE PITCHFORK Marjorie Orr, intellectual editor-in-chief of The Pitchfork, and Miss Jewel Tripp, the faculty advisor, along with the other memhers of the staff, have puhlished nine issues, each of which has been an example of splendid work. They have succeeded in giving us a Pitchfork that truly represents student life at Marietta High School. The staff of the Pitchfork is chosen each year by the faculty to serve the following year. Despite the difficulties which often confront the Pitchfork, ad- vertisements are secured, layouts prepared, assignments made, writ- ten, checked, re-written, and typed. Finally everything is sent to be printed. The copy is then proof- read, and at last a well-planned, well-written paper is printed. Last year ' s Pitchfork won sev- eral certificates and was rated the best paper in the B class by the Georgia Scholastic Press Associa- tion. Will the Pitchfork win again this year? We hope so!

THE BAND Under the expert supervision of Miss Mary Johnson, the Band has hecome one of which we are all proud. The purpose of the Band is to encourage and train those students who are musically talented. In the last few years it has grown from a few straggling musicians to a well organized group with fifty members. Their many public appearances — at pep rallies, football games, and the M-Day game; at the Armistice Day parade, the Memorial Day parade, and the Birney Memorial service; at assembly programs for Park Street, Pine Forest, Winn Street and High School; at the Marietta Educa- tional Association and at the American Le- gion Oratory — have called forth much praise.

LUCKY 13 CLUB Louise McNeel, Vice-President; June Elder, Pres- ident; June Antley, Treasurer; Jeanne Brown, Secretary. Hayrides, dances, house parties, wiener roasts, slumber parties ; all are symbolic of Lucky 13. Meeting every other Wednes- day at the homes of the members, these thirteen young ladies from the Junior and Senior classes and their three senior spon- sors enjoy refreshments and fun for all. However, during the last year the Lucky 13 accomplished more than having fun. They drew those clever Gremlin posters at the beginning of the year, sponsored the Pep Rally and dance at the first home game, supplied students with notebook paper in time to take those dreaded exams, and sold tickets to help pay for the school bus. To be a member of this popular club is the hope of many underclassmen. May the members next year live up to the example of work and fun set for them by the club of ' 46 and ' 47.

CLUB Who made the posters that tell you which exit to use in case of fire? Who kept all homerooms supplied with ink for that important exam? Who bought a badly needed mirror for the girls ' dressing room? I he P. S. Club, of course. An outstanding social organization for many years, the 1 ' . S. Club is composed of eighteen Junior and Senior girls. These energetic lassies have dene their bit for the school by selling tickets to raise money for a new school bus and by holding concessions at athletic games. After school, the P. S. members have lived up to their motto, Fun for all, and all for fun, by giving a hayride, a Christmas formal, and a Scavenger Hunt. Social functions were brought to a climax with a house party in the spring. OFFICERS Dolly Goodman Jane Shaw Jane Sprayberry . President .

Although Marietta High lost some heartbreakers, their wins were de- cisive ones over som: of the lest teams in Georgia. For the first time in several years M. H. S. opened its season with a victory. The game was a thrilling one in which the home team de- feated a powerful College Park eleven in the last four minutes of play, with a score of 7-6.

ACTION intercepted pass set up the touch- down and provided the winning margin. For their second game the Blue Devils journeyed to LaGrange, hoping for an upset, hut at the end of a hard-fought contest they were beaten only 14-6. Pal Wingo ' s 90- yard kickoff return saved the day and helped to keep our opponent ' s score down. The first home game was a dis- appointing one, resulting in a 25 loss at the hands of a mighty Rock- mart club, who later became North Georgia champs at the end of an unbeaten season. Garner around end against Cartersville 69 (? Coach James Pressley Alternate Captain William Garner Captain Robert Dupree 70 - : • ' The Hapeville game, another loss of 13- 6, was also a heartbreaker which M. H. S. should have won. Except tor a few breaks for the opposing team, the Blue Devils out- played them all the way. Fred Barrows scored the six points. Pee Wee Garner was the star of the Fulton tilt which ended in a 6-b tie. He took the opening kickoff and returned it 90 yards to pay dirt only to have the brilliant run nullified. Later in the game he scored the only touchdown.

G. I. C, in one of their toughest battles, the Devils played their best game of the season. Again Gar- ner starred as he returned another kickoff for % yards and gained 6 points. Later in the game, however, the powerful Fulton boys grabbed two touchdowns and an extra point and time ran out with the score 13-6 in favor of West Fulton. The cheerleaders could play better than you ' ve been doing Cedartown ' s killing victory of 28-0 would have put Marietta ' s weakening eleven in the shade had it not been for Jack Hicks ' hard tackling of the Bulldog hacks.

' S j..iSkt.lL ?¥ 73 IVIanagers Henderson and Scott guard the water bucket On November 22, Garner, Carter, and Johnson, backed by a staunch line, upset a top-notch Bremen team, 19-14. Earlier in the season Bremen had defeated Cedartown 7-6. In the final game of the season on Thanksgiving Day, Cartersville, angered by an early 6-0 lead, ran up a score of 48 points and ended .Marietta ' s season with a 48-12 loss for the home team. Three wins, six losses and one tie — these scores do not sound par- ticularly impressive, but they encouraged many a faithful Marietta football fan, who cheered a fighting team. The Blue Devils defeated some of the best teams in Georgia and lost only to the mighty ones. Captain Robert Dupree won a place on the all-N. G. I. C. team picked annually by North Georgia coaches. This was not only a tribute to Dupree, but to his team and to his coach. The improvement shown by the ' 46 team at Marietta High is attributed largely to the hard work and staunch determination of James Pressley, a former graduate of M. H. S. and of Oglethorpe University, who returned from the service in the spring of ' 46. His first year at Marietta has branded him as a coach whose teams in future years will be outstanding ones in Georgia. Front Row, Left to Right: Heard, Brinkley, B.

After scoring 775 points against 615 points for their op- ponents, the Blue Devils brought to a close a suc- cessful season. The cage foes of Georgia ' s Seventh District met for their 1946-47 tournament in Marietta. The home team reached the finals only to be edged by the Rossville quintet, 35-32, after staging a valiant last-period rally. In the N. G. I. C. Tournament they reached the semi-finals but were defeated 37-35 bv a fast Decatur team. Witchie Rohner displays his skill on the bas court. J. G. Pickering V lion Haywood WET Robert Dupree Paul Haywood ETBALL Charles (Witchie) Rohner dropped the ball into the basket for 16 points in the opening tilt of the regular season and led his team to a 45-40 victory over dimming. There followed one of the greatest disappointments of the year when a fast-moving Jasper five nipped them 27-25. However, in a return engagement the tide turned and the Devils walloped the Pickens County aggregation. Captain Charles Hipsher displayed his ability as a basketball player when he dropped into the basket one ball after another and gained credit for his team even though they lost games to Canton and Mable- ton. He averaged 14 1 3 points per game for 2S consecutive tilts and was selected for the all-N. G. I. C. team of 1947. Although the high scoring of Rohner and Hipsher was outstanding, the five floor play of Keathley, Johnson, and Williams was the backbone of the Devils ' defense. Coach Anderson, performing the difficult double role of boys ' and girls ' coach, did an excellent job with each team. His encouragement, understanding, and hard work won their respect and admiration.

S. 1946-47 girls ' basketball contingent, having turned in 17 victories in 20 starts, can well be proud of a hard and well-played season. They met some of the stiffest competition in North Georgia, and their record shows that they had the will to fight and the will to win. Trailing by a six-point margin at half-time in their openei with Gumming, the M. H. S. lassies came back to take a deci- sive 40-35 victory. The Devilettes were off to a good start. They won nine straight games before defeat ever showed its mark, taking i 31-28 victory from Decatur, a top-ranking N. G. I. C. squad and edging Rockmart 27-26, when Captain Katherine Willi: put in a last-second goal. On a cold and dreary night in late January, the Devilette: iourneved to Jasner, and here, for the first time, they met theii match. When the final whistle blew, they were on the short end of a 39-31 heartbreaker. Only two weeks later they met the same Jasper squad anc fought thirty-two long minutes to a 37-37 tie. With the clocl showing a second to go, Marcia West put in the game-ticm goal. Peggy Holahan Charlotte Mathis Calista Jordan Kettv Jo Durham Ellen Ne 80 nn Kullard Marjorie Carlile Marian Fowler Barbara Barrows SKETBALL The very next night the Marietta girls were to meet Rockmart, the team that they had beaten by- one point only three weeks ago. Towering Mareia West led the Devilettes to victory by scoring 34 counters and also set a new record for points made by a Devilette in one game. The Cassville sextet, who later won the Seventh District tournament, came to Marietta for the last home game of the season, and won a 27-22 victory over the game Marietta hoopmen. Hapeville and Druid Hills were next on the list. If the Devilettes won, they would take N. G. I. C. honors for two consecutive years. They took no less than victory. For this they received the first N. G. I. C. girls ' trophy ever to be awarded. In the seventh district tournament they lost in the quarter finals to Cassville by a two-point margin in one of the most exciting games witnessed all season. ■ ■ l Joanne Goodson Captain Willis knows how it ' s done 81 1st row: Charlotte Mathis, Barbara Barrows, Calista Jordan, Capt.

BASEBALL Starting our 1947 baseball season with a victory over Fitz-Hugh Lee in a practice game, the neophytes from Marietta are expected to have a vic- torious season with Andy Anderson as coach. They have four fine pitch- ing prospects in Hrannen, Merritt, Keathley and Haywood. Expected to show skill behind the plate are Cap- tain Hood and his capable substitute, Blocker. Around the infield we have Oglesby, Fowler, and Collins who will see service at first. At second and shortstop, Johnson, Pickering, D. Haywood and Powell show promise. Holding down the third base position are Cole and Ingram. Good outfield material includes Dupree, Garner, Mitchell, Hensley and Turner. It is believed that the ' 47 baseball team will be able to take victory in the right spirit, laugh at defeat and be loyal to M. H. S. through thick and thin. . A. ■ -  ;.

Candidates tor king and Queen of Hearts were the following representatives from each class: Stanley Wil- liams and Ann Bradley, Senior; Pee Wee Garner and Alice Cunningham, Junior; Jim Lynch and Freda Clarke, Sophomore; Red Ramsey and Betty Day, Freshman. After much politicing by the campaign managers dur- ing the previous week, and after formal presentation of their respective candidates at the appointed hour, final opportunity for casting votes was given.
