Nostalgia spanks ‘Morp’ week Bobby sox, ponytails, and leather jackets? In high school in 1972? Why, sure! These well-known items from the fifties came to Marshall the week before Thanksgiving, as the “Morp” week got under way. “Morp” (that’s prom spelled backwards) began as a project for Mr. Ric Berard’s sociology classes. The goal was to hold a social event at school which all different types of people would enjoy and attend. The theme of the 1950’s was chosen as a common ground which nearly anyone could feel comfortable with, and students, teachers, alumni, and cafeteria staff were invited to at¬ tend. The fifties mood was carried out by decorations and activities during the week of November 13. Dancing lessons were held after school for those interested in learning the Little Apple, Big Apple, Jitterbug, Twist, or Bunny Hop. Posters, signs, and streamers decorated the halls, bearing such messages as, “To morp or not to morp — that is the question,” or “Morp it, you’ll like it!” Students quickly got in the mood of the week, and many wore fifties costumes, complete with Vaseline, ducktails, and long skirts. All in all an air of nostalgia pervaded GCM as No¬ vember 22, the date of the “Morp”, drew near. Opposite page: Greaser Ralph Ward shows his “Morp” style.
