TONIGRTCT NfGRr As the last group to perform returned to the dressing room 33 Senior girls gasped with relief and a strong sense of accomplishment. Having worried about tripping during the poise routine, or going blank halfway through their talent performance the girls survived the pageant with only minor cases of sweaty palms and shaky smiles. And as this realization struck and the girls awaited their final return to the stage, they began to sing melodies that reflected the mood of the evening. This was the atmosphere that surrounded the 11th annual Marshall Junior Miss Pageant produced by the Jaycees and Auxiliary. Due to the large number of contestants the pageant was held on two consecutive nights, November 26 and 27, at the Middle School auditorium. The pageant's purpose is to select Marshall’s ideal Senior girl. The contestants were judged on creative and performing arts scholastic achievement, youth fitness, poise and appearance, and the judges' interview. As the girls returned to the stage they realized that even though there would be only one winner each one of them had gained confidence and pride in herself and above all had had great fun. 20 Jr. Miss

BUSTLING ABOUT TOU N U ECRARE CUR RO UEC In the midst of Marshall’s nationally renowned annual Historic Home Tour one could spot students and teachers of MHS bustling about as they attempted to make the 1976 tour a success. An assemblance of thirty students, clad in pinafores and bonnets, served as guides on the tour. Organized by Junior Laura Schoenfeld, they could be found upon the tour buses reciting tidbits of Marshall’s legacy to travelers aboard. Serving as a guide was an invaluable experience for most of the students involved. It gave them the opportunity to ’’meet a lot of interesting people” as noted by a student guide Mary Schineider. Music whisked through the air, as the MHS Marching band and the Marshall Singers entertained the visitors. Traditionally, their appearance at the home tour marks the opening of the marching season for the band. In many historical homes, teachers serving as hosts and hostesses hid beneath time honored costumes. However, one teacher at MHS, English teacher Mrs. Kathryn Kinney, was more involved than most. In February of last year, Mrs. Kinney, her husband Norman, and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Minnick embarked upon a project to renovate the National House Inn. Today, the Inn holds the distinction of being the oldest operating hotel in the state of Michigan. FRIENDLY AND COURTEOUS freshman Sara Day directs visitors to the Honolulu House lemonade stand.
