Projects: Fireworks, Petition One of the first Student Council- sponsored activities this year was the Young America Showcase auditorium with Free Fair, as well as an evening program attended by 800 persons. Other projects were: fireworks at the Flomecoming game, and a cider and donut sale at one of the games. Also planned was a petition for extra Metro transit here, with a regular line running at convenient times. Student Council representatives, with a grade-point average of at least 4.0, are elected each semester. This marked the end of the two year old steering committee, which had not worked as well as expected. Instead, the cabinet of officers met weekly and the council itself met bi¬ weekly. Donald Austin, co-sponsor of the council, commented at the beginning of school, “We have a fine cabinet of officers, and it looks like we ' ll have an extremely fine council this year. a. Rick Smith diligently works on the newspa¬ per staff, b. Marcia Ahlefeld and Debbie Matheson crop pictures to fit their layout, c. Secretary Karen Bouchonnet voices her opinion to Mike Myers and Randy Moore during a Student Council meeting, d.

Journalism Confusion And Laughs Have you ever really taken a good look at the Marhiscan? Well, if you have, you will notice that there are eight additional pages, and the open¬ ing section is in color. The Marhiscan is unique. The for¬ mat is altogether different ; there is a club directory, a team directory, and an editorial section. One probably thinks that working on the yearbook staff is all fun and games, but Mark Wright, editor of the Marhiscan, says, “Usually, it is pretty fun, but when there is a deadline to make, there ' s always a lot of confu¬ sion. We also h ave trouble not having enough typewriters . There are approximately 40 students on staff trying to make their deadlines, so one can see why it would be confusing at times. Do you ever wonder why the school publishes a yearbook and names it the Marshican? The Marhis¬ can stands for Marshall High School Annual. Wright hopes that the Mar¬ hiscan gives everybody everlasting memories of their last school year. The editors of the bi-weekly school newspaper, the Liberator, tried a new layout idea this year. There was also a change in style. The use of Mr. and Ms. was dropped. Instead, only the names were used. More pictures were planned, too. Co-editors of the paper for ' 75- ' 76 were Julie Phillips and Janet Wilson. New among Marshall publications this year was the Addition, a school- oriented news magazine. The editor was Jim Clements. Members of the Liberator staff contributed stories to the Addition. 16

Journalist Achievers Are Honored Those sassafras, blueberry, black cherry or orange candy sticks you may have bought first semester were sold as fund-raising projects by the National Honor Society. The group also collected cans for the Key Club ' s canned food drive. Before each stu¬ dent became a member he or she was rated by teachers in the areas of lead¬ ership, character and service. A high grade poi nt average also had to be maintained. Inductions were held each semester for publications students who had been on staff one year and had done work above and beyond the ordinary. They became members of Quill and Scroll, an honorary society. This year after induction, members attended a Racer game. Some of you saw Jon Buttram, Pat Milligan, JoAnn Shanks and Kevin Strunk participate in WTHR’s “Exer¬ cise in Knowledge program as repre¬ sentatives of our Quiz Team. Bill Street served as alternate. The team was defeated by Howe in the first round of the elimination tournament.
