vi... f To Unpathed Warers, Undreamecl Shores The dramatic end of the war and the resulting efforts at international cooperation made the So- cial Studies Department one of the most important of the school. Study of history must become a ma- jor instrument on future world-wide planning. just as social studies was important in a peaceful future for our country, so was a study of English essential to complete understanding in a confused world. The English Department continued to delve into the intricacies of studies in written and oral expression while seasoning its courses with related studies in drainatics, journalism, and radio. Wha+ ls'+ Tha+ You Took Up So Gingerlyn Although lllr. Friel left the math department, by some unknown means they still kept alight the flame of knowledge. In true tradition these teachers sought to instill that third r into the minds of their worthy students. Some teachers advocated a syllabus for each math course and tried to have homework and notebooks count part credit for the final grade. The same familiar odors arose on schedule from the classrooms of the southwest wing as the chemistry classes once again learned of the deadly poisons which make up our every day foods.

The Glass Of Fashion And The Mould Of Form Regular routines at :Marshall were spiced by Such fascinating creative courses as the practical artS. shop, and music. Whether it was at stirring candy, singing an anthem, reading a blueprint, or design- ing a poster, some student was enthusiastically adding to his practical knowledge and cultural appre- ciation every hour of the school. The choirs, band, and orchestra were as usual, popular, and populous, and brought many mo- ments of pleasure to the entire school. Commercial art, sewing, and cooking classes continued to ap- peal to many others, and the increased student interest in photography, shop and art craft reflected the world-wide trend to manual sciences. How Use Doth Breed A Habit In A Man The steady clicking of the typevvriters on the third Hoor turned out sheets of exercises, tabulations. and letters, while eighth grade exploratory classes were busy putting x's and o's on their papers to make many clever designs. General business, retail distribution, business law, economic geography, book- keeping, shorthand, and office practice managed to keep the students busy while typewriters, dicta- phones, posting and calculating machines kept rhythm. lllany of the senior girls took part in a cooper- ative course and left school after fifth period to work in oflices as part of their office practice classes. Latin, French, and Spanish composed our languages. German was again left out because there was no available teacher. French classes burst into song while packing food and clothing for France. A Spanish Honor Society was formed of students having a mark of B or above. lkleetings were held in Spanish and a Christmas party was held which emphasized many Spanish customs. Latin trudged along as usual, but with the same helpfulness it has always given to students.
