CB SCHOOL DAYS AT JM. By Barbara Siple Graduation day, the goal of every true Marshallite, is here! Even with our thoughts on commencement, we cannot help but remember our wonderful years as Marshallites and the good times we had together. Our first year as sophomores was a frightening experience. We were together as classmates on the first day of the term when we had an assembly in the auditorium and were welcomed by the S.C.A. and cheerleaders. As lower classmen, we had our homeroom, lunch, and most of our classes in the Wythe building. In May, the Girls’ Athletic Association presented “Showboat.” The dancers performed to music such as ‘“Tomboy” and “Di- nah.’’ Our beautiful May Queen, Bobbie McBride, was crowned and, with her attendants, reigned over the day’s festivities. As juniors, we began to feel more like John Marshall students because we had more classes and lunch in the Marshall building. We took a more active part in school activities and enjoyed the work and fun throughout the year. On December 11, the G.A.A. presented its annual talent show. The theme was “Dear Santa,” and each act represented a request from a letter to Santa. “Gathering of the Clan” In April, the band went to Winchester to participate in the Apple Blossom Festival Parade and came home with honors for the school and the corps. On May 21, juniors and seniors danced along memory lane to the theme of “Through the Years” at the prom. White columns in southern style, flowers, and a charming footbridge recalled the many memories of the old John Marshall that each of us hold so dear. “May Memories’ was the theme of May Day in 1960. Mem- bers of the G.A.A. and the gym class provided the entertainment with dances revived from past May days and the winding of the Maypole. Anne Jackson was our chosen queen and, with her court, made beautiful scenery on the steps of the old building. As our junior year drew to a close, the history of the old John Marshall also ended. The building was being abandoned for a better location on Old Brook Road and the move was to be made during the summer. As we took the final walk through the tunnel, attended the last assembly, and heard the final dismissal bell, we were proud to say that we were part of the history of “Dear Old John Marshall.” “This is Drury Stith with the announcements for today.”’
