Our Thanksgiving Assembly The spring of 1962 found not only romance blooming at John Marshall, but also plans for another dance, the Junior-Senior Prom. Juniors in charge of plans followed the example set by their senior friends in getting only the best in music and decoration. In the Science Department vigorous experimenting went on both in and out of lab. An explosive teaching method was set up in the classroom. While one teacher carried on the lab work with pupils, another was in charge of regular book work. Both teachers and students were benefited by this program. This year, as in the past, Jayem participated in the American Legion oratorical contest. Several students were selected from senior English classes for their speaking ability and knowledge of the Constitution to enter the J. M. school branch of the nation-wide event. The winner then went on to the higher branch contests. A new and welcome highlight of the school year came in late spring when the members of the music department, under the very capable direction of Mr. Charles Cooke and Major Paul Cartwright, presented the delightful operetta, H.M.S. Pinafore. Students, parents, and teachers alike enjoyed this outstanding dramatic and musical production. This was the first musical our school has had in several years. Many of our seniors who had applied to colleges and had been accepted were receiving scholarships and awards of merit. Others with business plans for the future eagerly talked over their qualifi- cations and job opportunities with the counselors. The Quill and Scroll, National Honor Society, and awards assembly recognized many of these outstanding seniors. The colorful May Day festivities with the Queen and her Attend- ants were for underclassmen the climax of a wonderful school year. However, seniors awaited graduation! The assigning of robes, the receiving of graduation invitations and calling cards were but previews of the big event. Final exams and then graduation day came, when the ending of senior’s J.M. history was only the beginning of another. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, exchanging farewells with teachers and classmates until next year, looked forward to summer vacation. Thus ended J. M. history for 1961-1962. Dr. Dixon, faculty, and fellow students, . . . Hang down your head, Tom Jefferson 25
