84 STUDENT LIFE % O 0 Marshall’s tenth birthday was cel¬ ebrated on December 6, 1972. It was on this day, ten years ago, that George Catlett . Marshall High School was first opened for regular student attendance. During the pre¬ ceding years, the two other area high schools, Madison and McLean, had been tremendously over¬ crowded. The new Marshall High received the over-flow from these schools. For the tenth birthday celebra¬ tion, several festivities were held. Mr. Tony Aversano’s Stage Band played old favorites in the cafeteria. A popular rock group, “Griffin”, kept students interested in the girl’s gym. For those who were not inter¬ ested in music, a movie, Not with My Wife You Don’t, starring Doris Day, was shown in the auditorium. The faculty and administration were given a tea by the S.C.A. Two huge sheet cakes with “Happy Birthday” written across the tops were made by the cafeteria staff. These cakes were the awesome highlight of the tea. The entire birthday party lasted three periods and most students stayed on the school grounds. The faculty tea was also well attended by 150 teachers and administrators.

Climaxing Morp week, the ghosts of decades gone by glided through the halls to the girls gym. Dressed in costumes out of the past, including their fathers’ letter sweaters, borrowed pleated skirts, cuffed pants, and pearls, repre¬ sentatives of Marshall’s total popu¬ lation came for a good time. Sporting chains, hair slicked back in duck tails, cigarettes all but dropping from their mouths, and T- shirt sleeves rolled up to reveal ribald tattoos, the visiting images wandered in packs, circling the dance floor. Everyone had been prepared for the dance by a week of nostalgic references to the “good old days” of the 1950’s and late 40’s. Held the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, November 22, 1972, the Morp was produced by Mr. Ric Berard’s Sociology class to achieve the golden goal of total involvement at Marshall. After paying the pre¬ inflation admission price of twenty- one copper pennies, the lucky one out of every ten dance-goers received a free comic book. Inside, cokes were but a nickel and the victrola was stacked high with 45’s from the Teeny Bopper era. It was not an ordinary dance, by any means. return to past
