School is not all work School, as most students will verify, can become a real drag. The monotony of lecture after lecture, paper after paper, can be mind flustering, for life is not all work and no play. To break the tension periodically there were an assortment of assemblies to keep the student body in tune with the outer world as well as themselves. Navy bands, religious bands, trampolines, energy — we had entertainment from all four corners of the world, or state, and programming us to fire up for the different sport seasons were cheerleader skits, even Mom and Dad skits that involved the whole community in a bleacher stomping dm. The assemblies of 1977-1978 made life at M.H.S. a little easier to live with. The Marshall community, teachers, parents, administrators and store owners, show how they are behind their football team during the final games During the Energy assembly, Pam Baker gets the electricity treatment 28 Assemblies

Actors sharpen skills The MHS Theatre Department was very busy throughout the year, performing some of the most difficult works by famous playwriters. The theater department is very dedicated and they put in many hours to perform the plays as On a Clear Day written by Burton Lane and Lowe, “The Miracle Worker” by William Gibson, and God's Favorite” written by Neil Simon. On a Clear Day” starring Laura Brown was about a girl who makes flowers grow. Weird? Later, a psychiatrist finds out she is reincarnated. In the play she falls in love with her psychiatrist, but he is in love with her reincarnation. The second play, The Miracle Worker was about Helen Keller who was blind and deaf since she was a baby. A woman named Annie Sullivan brought Helen out of her darkness. The Miracle Worker starred Annie Karns as Helen Keller, and Anne Oren as Annie Sullivan. God’s Favorite” was about God who sent a messenger to Sidney Lipton, that he had been the chosen one. Trying to relate to his father's lecture in God's Favorite Jamie Brazas seems a little bit bored. Praying for her employer, Anne Karns pleads for Art Manns suffering to leave, as his wife Laurie lautenslager looks on. 30 School Ploys
