Who can forget the day we sold our varsity rally squad ? That's right, sold them! This all happened during Twirp Week, ofcourse, When else would such things go on? Twirp Week was held during April and was similar to Twirp Weeks held in schools throughout the land. The boys love every second of the festivities and the girls pretend to dread the whole affair. The fun- filled week came to a climax with the Desperado Drag , a girl-ask-boy dance. King and Queen of The daI1Ce were Ed Spellman and Sylvia Bowen. A traditional Kangaroo Court was held at the dance to try Twirp Week violators. Oh, incidentally, the rally squad girls actually sold their services as car washers. Also in April was the play, Pink Magic , the second presentation of the drama department, A matinee and two evening performances were presented Th' . is was a hilarious comedy about the trials and tribulations of a homely but brainy sixteen-year-old girl who is vacationing in Mexico. Barbara Pullen, Iane Ager and Irene Svens 1 ' son p ayed the lead roles of Lambie, Horty and Corney. Mrs, Robinson's , ' DFS' school age youngsters. The nursery school was part of the child-care program in the junior and sophomore home economics classes. The boys' industrial art classes mad 'u l e J ng e toys and other outdoor equipment to be used to entertain the active tots. Also on May l was the mock trial conducted for junior social studies classes b t r home economics classes held, beginning May l a play school for y h ee Port- land lawyers in observance of Law Day. An unusual and enchanting dance was presented May 5. The cafeteria was transformed into an island paradise as the entire group went Hawaiian. Decorations were composed of water- falls, pools, palmtrees and otherdecorations along the tropical motif. Refreshments consist- ed of bananas, spare ribs, pinapples and Hawaiian punch. When the dance was over most of the students d ' ' agree that it had been a highly successful dance.

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..

At Marshall, as well as at every other high school in Portland, the students become very restless as the school year drew to a close . f 'Ti' 1 When the last day of school, June 9, finally came, Marshallites bid farewell, tinged with ' .,,,:. sadness to the excitingly wonderful year of '61 and welcomed a carefree summer. Deep ln their thoughts they were already planning for an even greater year at Marshall High! -,gy Tk It should be said that it is extremely difficult to pin down just where Marshall began. We know it began initially as a misty idea gradually becoming a more specific plan until finally kv, the idea was so definite that it was ready to be set down on paper. From there, it went from A-7 drawing board to drawing board, from office to office and from conference table to conference N. ti table' there was a lot of work to do on paper before actual construction could even begin. The construction period was a prolonged and tedious one, and delays slowed progress occasionally. When the actual building was completed, there was still untold work to be done and uncount- able details to be taken care of before the scheduled first day of school. Administrators, fac- ulty and adult staffs spent weeks and months in the planning and preparation of the many athletic and scholastic programs. There was finally only one factor missing -- students! i Mi ai ' liirfi l I Marcia Alviar entertains at Kon Tiki Dance
