TO THE CLASS OF 1964 Dear Seniors: My association with John Marshall High School began only a few days before the Class of '64 made its initial entrance into the halls of the school. The graduation of this class closes an era that has been a significant and meaningful part of my life. It is im- possible to avoid a feeling of close personal involve- ment in the struggles of this group and a tendency toward biased expressions of pride in its achievements. However, anyone glancing through the pages of this documented chronicle can readily perceive that this class does have the mark of greatness upon it. Its records may well survive as high water marks in the history of the school. Truly, this has been the year of the John Marshall Bear! Congratulations, Seniors. Our best wishes go with you. Robert B. Cheney
