Just Us is For You And by You A field trip to the company that publishes the SATURDAY EVENING POST was one valuable experience Just Us members had. They got new ideas for the organization of the mag¬ azine they put out. They also decided to print the magazine themselves again, using an electronic stencil- maker. The magazine contains mate¬ rial written by Marshall students and is sponsored by Nancy Williams. The Deca Club consists for students in Distributive Education. Members learned how to succeed in business, and they could investigate different work areas. The club was designed to increase knowledge and qualities of leadership.

Firing is Our Real Occupation This school should be proud and aware of the fact that they have an award-winning Rifle Team. Leading the team for the second year as high firer was David Gray. As a team, the riflers have state trophies from ' 70 and ' 72. Although this rifle team didn ' t have a hand in winning them, they had a hand in continuing the tra¬ dition of Marshall being city champi¬ ons. They also won the sectionals in the spring of ' 75. Graduating seniors in 76 were George Williams, first- year varsity,- Dan Bonham, second- year varsity; and David Gray, third- year varsity. As usual, the Color Guard dis¬ played high standards in raising and taking care of the flags flown out¬ doors and in. The Color Guard com¬ manded by Mark Arnold is one of the units of pride within their respectable JROTC program. No officers are on the special team, thus making room for younger cadets to have a chance. The exhibition Drill Team competed in regular Saturday meets, and went to feeder and area schools of Mar¬ shall. The team adjusted well to the new Drill Team Commander who was Alan Cooper. Two other officers were Dennis Mitchell, Drill Team X.O., and Terry Lolla, Team Member. On August 14, the Drill Team went to the ' 75 State Fair and brought home a tro¬ phy. For the most part, they are young, but experienced and should be effective in competition. X
