Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1958 volume:

THE YEARBOOK STAFF of MARATHON HIGH SCHOOL presents THE 1957 - 1958 ISSUE OF Photo by Ed. Swift During the week of February 1st, 1955, this Indian dug- out was found on the school property. Pictured above are Harry Snow Jr., Lee Swanson, and Pat Patterson. Snow and Swanson are surveyors for John P. Goggins and Patterson is with the Floyd Lamb Construction Company. The dug-out has been removed to Stanley Switlik's home on Long Point Key. 2 THE LEGEND Part I By the shores of the Atlantic Greater than the Big Sea Waters Broader than the Gitchee-Gummee Born by Streams of warm Gulf water, Sailed the bark of Soan-ge-taha. Soan-ge-taha, the strongrhearted, Had for many moons been seeking With an empty-hearted longing For his loved one, Wau-wau-taysee. Wau-wau-taysee, little firefly. Who had flitted through his seasons Came to him in early evenings Of the mild and dew-filled summers, Brought him light and warmth and gladness. Then she came one night in sadness And the stars lost of their brilliance And the moon hid in cloud shadows As she whispered, Soan-ge-taha. Gitchee-Manito, the mignty- Guiding Spirit of our fathers, Bids me leave the great pine forest To begin an arduous journey Which will follow ever Southward To a land of sun and water Where each day will be as summer. Thus she spoke and then departed As the flame from out the camp fire. Living embers in the darkness Ate tne heart of Soan-ge-taha, And he suffered in the silence. When the sun rose, dull, next morning. Birds did not begin their chatter, For they saw that Soan-ge-taha Made great work in preparation For a far and distant journey. Thus he left from out his homeland Knowing that no kind of Teepee Is a home without The Loved One. Thus began the long, hard voyage That had brought him to the snoal line On the border of Gulf water. Part II Silently the dug-out drifted Till it neared the Cove of Vaca Which wastdarkened by Key foliage Just beyond the silver beach strand That lay ribboned on the sea shore. Unseen hands and arms reached forward, Grasped the dugout in the water And then beached the little vessel Gently, so that Soan-ge-taha Stepped forth firmly on the beach sand. Turned and said this prayer for guidance: Gitchee-Manito, the Mighty, Hear this voice in darkness seeking Help to find my Wau-wau-taysee. 3 PART II CONTINUED Hide this bark that brought me safely 'Til we come again to journey To our homeland, which lies northward. •’ Then he strode off in the darkness, Soan-ge-taha, the strong-hearted, Searching for his little firefly. And the little waves which sparkled In the shimmering moon that evening Bore the grains of mud and seedlings. Placed them softly all together As they lapped against the dug-out. And they sang and laughed together For they knew their work was easy. Many waves for many seasons Would take part in this, the hiding. Soan-ge-taha, the strong-hearted Would not come to use his dug-out. Part III From Sombrero Beach one morning Came the sound of heavy motors. Pushing through the muddy shoreline Insects, made of steel and iron, t Caterpillars, clams and draglines. Suddenly a workman shouted And another came and stood there By an aged and ancient dug out. Which was bound to earth in fetters Of the Mangrove root which tied it Firmly to tne sand beneath it. They knew not of Soan-ge-taha; And to them a Wau-wau-taysee Was a lightning bug which flickered In a poem called Hiawatha. Part IV In the spirit world which revels In the land of the tomorrow And.the facts of the hereafter, There appeared one night a troubled Spirit of our Soan-ge-taha. And by chance, or fate, which willed it There appeared to him that evening Old Nakomis, from the Northland Teacher of one Hiawatha, Saying in a windy whisper; Gitchee-Manito, The Mighty, Bade me come and ease your burden. You are now to search no longer. You are truly the strong-hearted. •• And the voice of Soan-ge-taha Like the voice of many waters Asked out strongly in tne moonglow, What is that, Nakomis?” And the Old Nakomis answered Tis a great and concrete teepee- Trysting place of Soan-ge-tana And His gentle Wau-wau-taysee, Little Flitting lamp of knowledge. 4 tl fUfrurikow High Ccbool 6 To- fts PHommaas — BOARD OF MEMBERS, SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: Glynn R.

CLASS HISTORY The 1957-58 senior class in September consisted of: Nancy Beatty, Evie Belanger, Sally Coe, Pat Jachowski, Judy Tittle, Charles Bader, Frank Clavert, Rod Grieser, Talvin Kight, John Miller, Robert Rackley, and Preston Roberts. During the first semester Carol Martin-Vegue came down from Miami, Judy Ward from Michigan, Paul Brueckner from Ohio, and Bob Espie from Canada. These kids are still with us, while others—Linda Tison, Joan LoPresto, Linda Stage, and David McQuaid—stayed for only a couple months before going back north. Judy Tittle had a successful party October 18, and may I add, that was the only party given by a senior thoughout the year. The girls made doughnuts and punch, which was enjoyed by all. On November 7 was observed Sadie Hawkins Day, complete with race, marriage, and dance. The seniors who attended and participated all had an enjoyable time. In January the Senior English class, which includes three juniors, put on a one-act play, Like rather. Like Son . We all had fun getting ready for it, and even more fun putting it on. On February 21 the seniors held a dance in honor of George Washington. It was a success from the stand point of having fun, although the attendance wasn't too high. A.king and queen, Preston Roberts and Pat Jachowski, were chosen by popular vote. April 3rd was a day enjoyed by all seniors—that was Senior Skip Day. After flying the Senior Flag we all went to an island near Bahia Honda where each person combed the beach, swam, ate, and fried in the sun. The Junior-Senior Prom of 1958 was held at Jack Tar's Jolly Roger Room, May 17. The theme of the prom was In Evening's Glow ; it was decorated to perfection, with flowers and candlelight. Investiture was held May 26th in the high school auditorium. The Baccalaureate Service was held in the High School auditorium at 7:30 P.M. on June 1st. At 8:00 o'clock June 2nd the Seniors began the Commencement exercises. One hour and ten minutes later Marathon High's first alumni greeted their parents, teachers, and friends in the school corridors.

Compliments of MARTIN-VEGUE FUNERAL HOME 23 CLASS PROPHECY January 26, 1968 Dear George: Well, I finally arrived in sunny Florida after a very nice trip on one of those new jet strato cruisers. Marathon is the same friendly town with wonderful weather, although the town itself has grown to an enormous size. All of the kids we went to school with are still around. I saw Sally and Roger La Flamme down at Cash and Carry with their five little sparks. They're doing fine. I hear Nancy is teaching music over at the school house. All the time I had lived down here, I had never gone fishing on a charter boat; so, I decided to go while I had the chance. I went down to Davies Docks. There I saw a beautiful boat called The Lady Marlene , with Rod as skipper and his wife Marlene as a first mate. While we were out with Rod on the Atlantic we met Talvin, who now owns the Kight Crawfish Company. After our fishing trip we all went down to the Tastee Freez where John and Janice have taken his parent's place. They are still making pretty good money from Carol, Marathon's new funeral director. Going down to Key Colony I saw Judi coming out of the Marathon hospital, she's an R. N. I wanted to buy some film, so I stopped in at the photo shop, and was I surprised to see Pat. She now owns the shop. Pat told me Bob and Paul are partners in the drugstore business. Pat and I decided we would go to Key West and spend the day. On the way down we saw Charlie, who is a confirmed bachelor. He owns the House of Baderburgers and the Standard Station. I asked for Preston, but Pat said you needed an appointment to see him, as he was Governor of Florida (by the way, Florida is still segregated). Frank and Debbie are doing fine on Big Coppitt. He owns the Key Magazine Company, and is doing very well. Well, that about does it, except that I hope everyone will remember the years we spent together in school and out of school. As always.

Jack Bass The first Junior Class of Marathon High School, though small in number, took an active part in school activities. They sponsored the Sadie Haw- kins Day race and dance in November. It was a big success and enjoyed by all. The Junior-Senior Prom was the highlight of the year for both the juniors and seniors. To help pay for this dance the Junior class sold magazine subscriptions. To spark up enthusiasm among class members, a contest was held to see who could sell the most subscriptions. The winners of this con- test were Peggy Turner and Terry Kight. They were awarded cute little stuffed animals. Class sponsor is Mr. Alfred Majewski.

The Student Council is the body charged with the govern- ment of the school. The council works with the students, the faculty, and the community in obtaining better student-teacher relations. The constitution of the Marathon High Student Council was written by the members of the council. Every grade is al- lowed two representatives. The president must be a senior, the vice-president a junior or sen- ior, and the secretary and trea- surer can be elected from grades nine through twelve. This year the student council sponsored a talent show to help raise money for the Physical Ed- ucation showers. Perhaps their most outstanding accomplishment was the procuring of the activity card and the popular student f rices generously offered by our ocal threatre.

This year's chorus is composed of twenty-seven girls and eight boys. The boys and girls have shown fine talent. They have sung for the P.T.A., the American Legion and for the B.P.W. This is the first united school chorus in the history of Marathon. In the beginning of the school term there were approximately eight students enrolled in chorus and these people were taking it for credit. In a few weeks the number in chorus began to increase; and now we have approximately thirty-five enrolled. We have four singing sections; Soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. We began singing these parts in January. Donna Evans and Mary Sadowski are our student piano accompanists. Mrs. Locke plays for us at appearances. Donations by: Marathon Sea Food K. G.
