Ten students originally composed the Art Staff which, although they met fifth period, found it necessary to meet after school hours in order to meet the demands for their exceptionally fine work. One of the finest school functions all year was Marshall's first play, Green Valley , pre- sented in a matinee performance after sc oo , e playing t p , . lightful fantasy that had a run of three performances. lt was directed by Miss Van Haur. h l Nov mber 17.

December was heralded by Marshall High students as the coming of Christmas and everyone soon became filled with the joyous holiday spirit. As a special Christmas present, the news- paper staff presented the student body with a larger issue, a set of editors and, at ldng last, a name for the newspaper. The VERDICT, as such, first came out on December 23 and Nfarshall- ites read that the posts of editors had been filled by Gene Hansen and Dorothy Burtori. Also, at this time, Dick Saito and Kathy Hysmith were selected to be co-editors of next YGBEIS year- book. Another noteworthy Christmas gift was the thirty-foot fir tree, which was obtained through the efforts of Mr. Oberteuffer, science teacher, and fourteen willing students. The tree was set up in the courtyard on December lO and was, as many Marshallites will remem- ber, slightly bedraggled and beaten. The following Monday the boys from the shop classes remedied the situation by boring holes in its trunk and re-inserting some of the branches. Then our first Christmas tree was decorated by five strings of lights. This tree, lights and, all, re- mained standing in the courtyard until mid-January. It is interesting to note that Iohn Marshall was the first Portland High School ever to have an outside Christmas tree. PreddyKe11er's band provided the music for the first annual faculty sponsored Miss Merry Christmas fDance . The dance took place after the Benson game on December 16. Fourteen cleverly drawn' carolers decorated one wall of the cafeteria and multi-colored bird mobiles were suspended 1 from the ceiling. Streamers extended down from the mobiles to the walls completing the breath-taking transformation of the cafeteria. Highlight of the evening was the presentation of Miss Merry Christmas and her court. Each class had chosen from its ranks two girls to serve on this court, the court was presented in an assembly and then final voting was done in reg, rooms. The court consisted of Darlene Everat, Pat Shepard, Ianet Huffman, Darla lung and Shirley Meacham. Lovely Irene Svensson was selected by the students to be their first Miss Merry Christmas . l Mg re alli' I ,, '. ': ,' 7 57 - ' Casualty Mr. Iensen Mr. Pesky presents the loser's cup to Willie Love.

Ianuaryfl sawthe arrival of Marshall's first student teachers and on January 5 the first drama club got under way. At this initial meeting, the group selected Roger Adams as president. Words to the school song were printed in the February 10 issue of the VERDICT, and the mem- bers of the yearbook staff were also announced. A school emblem was chosen on February 6, and on February 16 the first Dad-Daughter banquet was held with Kay West as guest speaker. On March 5, the P. T. A. presented a Chuck Wagon Breakfast. This breakfast was put on by this fine organization in order to raise money to help pay for band and choir uniforms and scholarships. lt netted S640 dollars--S125 dollars of which bought our beloved living blue spruce tree. To the surprise of everyone, especially the faculty, the faculty Warriors soundly trounced the junior Hot Dogs, 33-32 inthe first annual faculty-senior game, March lO. Well, it would have been a faculty-senior game if we had had seniors last year. The game played to a cap- acity crowd which enjoyed every hilarious minute of action l?l. The juniors were good sports about their loss and no one complained, even though the Warriors played most of the game with too many players on the floor. ril. Source of all Marshall became the scene of frenzied activity towards the middle of Ap commotion? Why - the Country Fair. This function, sponsored by the Dads' Club, was one of the outstanding events of the year. The school was transformed into a fair grounds for the dates April 14-15, There were fifteen games-among them were darts , penny pitching, a wheel of fortune, a nail drive, a car roll, a coke ring toss, a bottle throw and golf putting. There was plenty of food for everyone as Marshall's cafeteria was in full operation as well as several snack bars and a cake booth. The VERDICT, in honor of the occasion, went all out and pub- lished a big 16-page, 10 ,000-issue edition. This newspaper was delivered by students to all :homes throughout the Marshall area. Willing and eager Marshallites sold tickets to family, friends and strangers in an enthusiastic and successful attempt to drum up business. A stereo record player and a set of record albums were offered as door prizes to lucky ticket holders. Weeks of careful planning and hard work went into this affair. Students provided live enter- tainment several times during the course of events as a talent show was presented in the aud- itorium and a spectacular gym show in the gym. The Country Fair was a success financially, for it brought in about S3,000. Cooperation and hard work are needed for a project of this type. Our Dads' Club was willing to contribute all these factors and as their enthusiasm caught fire, it spread throughout the school and the area. We are in debt to the Dads' Club and the P-T. A. , not only for presenting us with such a large sum of money, but also for ' ' t step in its progress towards unity. helping Iohn Marshall High School take an importan Art Staff M . Tw..
