oe EDICATION — Richmond, progressive city of the South, located on the historic James River, had its beginning in 1607, just four weeks after the Englishmen landed at Jamestown. In the streets of Richmond we detect the foot- steps of Washington, Lafayette, Lee, Madison, and Monroe. Among the famous buildings in this city is the John Marshall House, named for the nation’s great- est Chief Justice. From this house Marshall Street got its name. Leading citizens incorporated the Bank of Richmond. Later they named Bank Street for the building. The James River Canal furnished a means of bringing produce — including tobacco, upon which Richmond's wealth depends — down to the market. Out of a small settlement grew a great industrial city and capital of the Old Dominion. To Rich- mond — our city and our people — we dedicate this 1952 MaRSHALLITE.

OREWORD This is the John Marshall story—the 1952 story. In it we meet once more with classmates who played, studied, and worked together during high school years. If we, the staff, can bring back to you just one fond memory in the years to come, our task will have been successful. Just as every good book, play, or pic- ture is developed against a background which lends strength and body to it, so our story has a background, Richmond—its people and its interests. Without Richmond, steeped in noble tradition, there would be no John Marshall High School. Without John Marshall, the progress of Richmond and its many notable citizens would have been greatly retarded. Therefore, we wish to inject into this book by word and picture some evidence of this community of in- terest between our proud city and John Marshall High School of Richmond, Virginia.
