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.

Because all the Seniors were excused for the entire day. The first of three scheduled Senior Days came after long hours of work, barter and anticipation. Early in September, Seniors were denied cut cards. Realizing that nothing would be handed to the Class of '75 on a silver platter, the officers and commit- tee chairmen met and came up with the concept of a Senior Day — an excused, prearranged absence for all Seniors at the same time. After bargaining with the administration, three days were granted to the Senior class, to be scheduler! and planned at their discretion. The first Senior Day went off without a hitch. On the 4th, notices and take-home slips were sent home with Seniors and unless they were signed by parents, that particular student was unexcused. After the slips were turner! in, Monday the 9th was a blank page waiting to be filled. The activities that the Seniors engager! in were as numerous as the Seniors and as varied as the Seniors themselves. A good part of the class stayer! home to work on term papers or j)rojects; others user! the day to work. One industrious Senior, Roger Bedell, hitchhiker! to New York, several others went skiing at Blue Knob. Some of the more adventurous went rock-climbing; the less hardy went shopping at Tyson's Corner or Georgetown. The general attitude of the Senior class was brightened after the first Senior day. Plus one Senior noted, I got to sleep in on a Monday!
