Bused from different post office addresses, Marshall students have no single town name to call their own. Lack of defined communities doesn't prevent local jurisdictions from operating community centers. The Falls Church center is mainly for city residents, although Marshall students are welcome to use it. fr-Hi Tysons Comer Shopping Center serves as a community for Statesmen, where they work and hang out.

Stepping Out Community. A common everyday word, easy to say, easy to spell, but an element difficult to visualize at Marshall. Schools like Madison and Oakton were full of students mainly from one community, but GCM was composed of students from several communities. Inhabited by students from Falls Church, Vienna, Dunn Loring, and McLean, Marshall had no definite boundary to confine its students. Marshall's influence crept from the most eastern comer of Falls Hill to the far side of Shouse Village. Being boundless permitted students to visit hangouts “owned by other schools, and left them to freely enjoy the many places present in each community. Businesses of all kinds played Enjoying each other's company, Scott Scit and Carole Key share thoughts at the annual band picnic at Burke Lake in November. important roles in the region surrounding Marshall. The Falls Church-Tysons area provided a haven for clothing fiends and fast food freaks. Fancy restaurants began popping up all over the place, and were utilized during dances and other special events. The swimming pool business brought people together during the summer by providing places for recreation. Businesses not only let students be consumers, but they provided an equally wide selection for employment opportunities. Marshall may have been deprived of a special community, but this did not hold back the students from enjoying themselves. Proximity to Washington, D.C. lends an urban atmosphere to the Marshall area. Students visit and even work downtown This view of the Capitol represents the personal interest students have in the workings of government. Field trips are eliminated except those for which expenses can be paid from local funds, such as PTA, school revenue raising activities, or student fees. Community 243
