Hollywood hit the halls of MHS turning mid-October to mid-November into a unique and fascinating experience for MHS students. Paramount Movie Studios chose the school grounds to film a motion picture depicting the current craze in CB radios. About 500 MHS students were used as extras in various scenes taken around school, and for their involvement, they were paid by the movie company. Two lucky students, Joanne Polizzi and Mike Mahler, had substantial speaking and acting parts in the movie. Starring in the movie were Candy Clark of AMERICAN GRAFFITI and THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH and Paul Le Mat of ALOHA BOBBY AND ROSE and AMERICAN GRAFFITI fame. Directed by Jonathon Demme, the movie company shot scenes in the MHS parking lot, in the Field House, in the Girls' Gym, in the Student Center, and in the hallways of both North and South Campus. Permission to use Marysville High School grounds for production of the movie was nearly arrested in its early stages because of the disagreement of board members Ms. Yvonne Taylor and Ms. Maxine Singer. They objected to various passages of the script containing lascivious references toward school administration. The script was altered to satify their obiections. Still, the two women held out, but a maiority of the board members voted to continue filming as scheduled. The school district received approximately 52,000 from the movie company, and the money was immediately put into installation of cement sidewalks around the Student Center.
