This highly revered institution of legalized skipping was abolished for the class of '75 because of past abuses. Instead of cut-cards, however. Seniors did receive some new and impressive privileges not enjoyed by underclassmen. The Seniors were given permission to have Senior ID cards, which had implied powers — underclassmen would be carded upon entering the Senior lunchline or courtyard. Special Senior parking places almost became a reality, but lack of a feasible enforcement system quelled any institution. Perhaps the most enviable privilege awarded to the Senior Class was three Senior skip days. Various optional activities were planned such as picnics and football games. Total freedom were the key words for this unique Senior privilege. The Class of '75 was forced to come up with its own plans and ideas and in doing so renovated the whole idea of Seniority. Traditional rights and privileges were abolished by the administration, so that Senior was a title that had to be earned not inherited. The Senior Class provided itself with a format and a means of execution and so justly earned their name.

Braving the traffic and all kinds of weather, Marshall's cyclists commuted to school each day. Instead of rushing to meet a bus, those with bikes could eat a leisurely breakfast or sleep late and still make it to school on time for first period. However, some mornings cyclists had to tolerate frigid temperatures, slippery roads and other discomforts and hazards. As a protective measure against morning businessmen and the multitude of school buses, some students installed rear view mirrors at odd angles, besides the standard safety equipment. Cyclists also found it necessary to invest in sturdy bike locks rather than leaving their precious bicycles unprotected. Biking was common grounds for seniors and underclassmen alike. The seniority stigma attached to other activities had no place among cyclists. There was a kind of comaradie between cyclists. Class was not the important thing. Gear ratios, brakes, tubing, and frame weight were upmost in most cyclist's minds. |oc Coyle Maribeth Craig Andrew Doorley Culh.ine — Key Club 2,3,4; NHS 3,4; It's Academic 2,3,4; Math Team 2,3,4; Reveille 3,4; Golden Doughnut Club, Co-Pres. 3, Alumnus 4, One Act Plays 3; Orchestra 1,2,3,4.
