Ji FDREWORD if And Alice passed through the glass as though A it were water. Mx -42, S Lewis CARROLL fi if it ff' With these few strokes of the pen Lewis Carroll transported his character, Alice, from her mid-Victorian parlour into a fantastic world of make-believe. This book finds itself confronted with a more difficult task: to transport the reader, represented by Alice, or her companion, the Mad Hatter, into the world of Marshall, a world composed of learnings and skill. Here Alice, typifying the modern student, will learn more than the three R's of her day, as she comes to know the principles that have made our nation great. She will learn ideals that will be the guides from uncertainty and failure to certainty and success. At last, when she has passed through these halls and stands at the threshold of life on commencement day, she will realize that wonderland does not lie behind golden doors or looking glasses, but consists of the rich experiences of a full life. 4 r

Y . s ...QQE E V i I The Wonders of Uur Wonderland A little less than one hundred years ago an English school teacher who called himself Lewis Carroll began to spin tales of a wonderland to little Alice Liddell. The enchanting nonsense seen by Alice through the looking glass was no less fantastic than the change from the school of Lewis Carroll's day to the wonders of our present John Marshall High School. Have you ever thought of these wonders in this modern school? HERE you are privileged to select from a wide scope of offerings the subjects which appeal to your interests and meet your needs. HERE you prepare yourselves to assume the duties, responsibilities, and privileges of citizenship in our community. HERE you are provided with equipment worth 8150,000 to make learning more fascinating. HERE you have the services of many well-trained teachers who are interested in you as individuals. HERE you have the assistance of sympathetic and understanding men and women to guide and counsel with you. HERE you have the opportunity for enrichment and self-expression through music, art, and dramatics. HERE you can have good fellowship in the varied activities designed to help make your leisure time more enjoyable. HERE the loveliness of the main foyer casts its influence upon you at the beginning of each school day. Are these fantastic or imaginary wonders? No - they are real wonders in your own wonderland, John Marshall High School. ELMER W. SN YDER Principal 3
