The one that you select will be entirely up to you. We, the faculty of Marathon High, have given you the basic foundation, but you must realize that this foundation will not carry you through life. Learning never ceases, and there are many things that you have to realize. We only hope that your future will benefit your country, your parents, your school, and most important, YOU. Once again, congratulations and success to each and everyone of you in what ever field of endeavor you choose. DEDICATION We, the SHORELINE Staff of 1961 wish to dedicate this book to our Coach, Mr. Gene Dull, for his devoted work with the students, and for his untiring loyalty to the var- sity. He made the varsity a great success and gave all the credit to the boys. In return, we wish to give him the cre- dit for making Marathon High School varsity and junior var- sity what it is today and for creating a school spirit unex- celled in any school in any state. 3 MR. GREGORY H. MORNING Principal This year has been one of many trials. Many of our boys and girls have had to make terrific adjust- ments in school and at home. They have borne up well. Most of them have had a good year, in spite of the difficulties. Let me record my pride in everyone who has made a success of the year. G. Morning 4 MRS. ADAH MOORE Secretary MRS.

I had just finished covering a murder over on the east side as I returned to my office at the Daily Super Sonic Sun. Ever since I had start- ed working at the Sun , the boss had me working overtime on murders, rob- beries, and other such thriving subjects. Today's murder was complete with one of those new radiation guns that kills its receiver instantly. After the au- topsy, I returned to the office. While I was out, the boss had left me a note telling me to go over and cover the space ship story at the base. It seems that today an entire population of a city would be moved from Earth to the planet Mars to start life in another com- munity. Of course, this is not unusual, for everyday, entire populations are moved en masse to different planets to start communities and human life there. It's all a part of a program to widen the universe and a progressive idea of thining out the population to start others. I reached the base in about two minutes in my jet convertible. Traffic was heavy today and the usual seventy-five mile, one-minute drive was not possible, much to my disgust. At the base, after receiving information concerning my entrance, I made my way toward the space ship that was to leave for Mars that evening. I entered the ship and my first acquaintance was Charles Tittle, captain of the ship. I asked him several questions about the ship itself, then made several inquiries of the captain about his life. Captain Tittle explained that he had received his space training at the University of Florida, where in his Senior year they had advanced the entire school into a space minded progressive school, training minds in only the future. Captain Tittle confided that he had received his ad- ministrative powers while he attended Marathon High School and was Senior Class President. The captain then offered to lead me through the ship and introduce me to the different people going to Mars as future citizens. First, I met Miss Linda Bar- ley, who was stewardess of the flight. She also had studied at the Florida School of Space Travel. As I traveled through the hull of the ship we came up- on the galley, or kitchen to you atmospheric lovers. There I was introduced to Chef Shuey who was at the moment preparing a salad of such a proportion I could hardly imagine. The vegetables were of the new ocean type seaweed and urchin peppers. How delicious. Further on we met Martha Beck of the Atmospheric Condition Lab. Miss Beck intended to find the conditions satisfactory for a thriving community. Miss Ruth Belanger, RSSN, (Registered Super Sonic Nurse) had just completed her check-ups of the crew and was ready for blast off. Behind the transparent cur- tain was Miss Peggy Florimont who was just completing a new outfit in space suits. It seems that she was of Italian decent and wanted the old style of Gina Lollabridgida space suits - you know, low cut-high hem. Well, they were cute and everyone seemed pleased. Further on, Miss Ina Hanson was busily check- ing off the crew members and equipment. It seems that Miss Hanson received her training in the Marathon High School, D. S. T. (Directing Space Travel). Making small bundles of sewing equipment, soaps, sheets, dishes, brooms, etc., were Miss Betty Holley, and Miss Rosell Ruark, as they prepared for the making of space type homes. As I opened a door slightly, I saw and heard a strange thing. I heard, up 1, 2, 3; down 1, 2, 3; kick, sit up, push up, stop . I had opened the door of the physical education department. It was Miss Caro- lyn Rackley training herself for a class in outer space. I quickly shut the door and ventured to another; a sign on the door read Silver-Tongued Space Travel Politics . As I opened the door, I saw standing on a super-sonic box of soap, a short fellow with dumbo ears, preaching, and talking as hard as he could. I 19 quickly glanced back at the sign which read, Jet Germain , A little further down a ladder, I saw a fellow putting small eye droppers of liquid into plants situated in capsules. I believe the name given was Otto Collins Greenthumb Parisho. Soon I found myself in a living room type place with easy chairs all around. As I watched, I saw a man come in - stand beside a chair, and as he stood, a machine slid him delicately into a chair, lit a cigarette for him, stuffed sever- al pillows behind him, handed him a magazine, slid slippers on his feet, and scratched his back - all at the same time. After I picked my false teeth off the floor and gathered myself, I left the room. On the way out I asked the Cap tain who that man was and he replied, Mr. Peter Willcox. He has come as a spectator for the entire mission, a sort of tester for the planet. In the next compartment were two men busily working over a few floor plans They were two business men who would start business on Mars. They were Mr. Jim Hart who would start the Jet Age Gazette and Mr. Dick Smith who would start the Super Soda Dynamic Drug Store. On the other side of this room sat Mr. Doug Winner working with pieces of fine machinery and lines. I inquired as to what he was doing and he explained that there jus wouldn1 be anie Mars without fishin1, even if 1 tis jet propelled workings . Further down the hall a red sign blinked, reading Quiet . After a dumb look at the captain, I followed him into a small room that smelled strongly of alcohol, ether, and medicine. As I adjusted my eyes to the light I saw a man leaning over a body stretched out on a table. The Doctor was pressing buttons on a dial and as he did so, metal hands came up and worked with speed on the body. In a few moments the doctor came over and introduced himself as Doc- tor Winsor Graves. He explained that the man on the table was perfectly all right. He was just giving him a heart operation and that he and the man would be out for a cup of expresso coffee in a minute. Out in the hall again I met two secretaries on their way to a typing class on the base. Miss Linda Shepard and Miss Eleanor Williams could type on their new machines over 500 words per second. The instructor was a robot and the girls couldn't wait to get to the class because of his interesting conversations. The Captain now invited me to the engine and flight rooms. There I met Mr. Brent Freeman, the navigator, who in his youth had sailed around the world in his pram sail boat. Engineer of the ship was Charles Moore who worked in an easy chair because it seems in his early days, he worked at Food Fair and worked so hard he just must sit now. The mechanic, Charles Russell, insis- ted on Gulfojet fuel for the flight, so everyone was sure of a safer flight. Weatherman, Art Stir rat, had informed me and the captain that the ship would pass through 10 tornadoes, 8 hurricanes, 6 snow storms, and a slight drizzle. (By the way, since everything on the earth was speeded up, Mr. Stir- rat was glad to go back to a place where there was just two kinds of weather in one day). Silently sitting at the wheel was flight control pilot, Bucker Moore, of the speed school also. Mr. Moore was preparing for the flight as he checked all of the equipment for accuracy. His secretary, Miss Charlotte Weese, helped as she efficiently took down all the information and recorded it in her conden- sed filing system held in a match type holder. Miss Virginia Tabor, also of the few women in the flight room, held the job of assistant to the pilot. Many times in space travel I found, women are used because they are more easily trained for the job. I talked with the pilot a while longer and then dropped myself slowly to the ground. As I reached my convertible, I noticed a small slip of paper tucked into the windshield flap. I opened it and it was a ticket for parking on a private lot that was reserved for visiting Marsmen. The ticket read, Reporter Green- man, report to police headquarters in 1989 or pay fine. Quite disgusted, I jumped in and floated away on air wings, just for spite! SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS LEFT TO RIGHT: Pete Willcox--- Virginia Tabor - Charles Tittle - Betty Greenman Charles Moore - Sergeant at Arms ------- Secretary -------President -------Treasurer ---Vice-President SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The Class of '61 has traveled the road of all seniors and is the first gradua- ting class to have completed its four years in the new school. The Junior year entailed a great deal of work. The little treasury mounted up mostly from record magazine sales. Wearily the students trudged from door to door selling Life, Good Housekeeping, and Charm. Many of our salesmen of tomorrow may attribute their skill to this endeavor. All the annual events such as the Sadie Hawkins Day fell to the Juniors. The advertising went out to set the scene for the good 'ole male hunt. That Novem- ber, the Daisy Mae's and Li'l Abner's were off and running. In desperation, many fell on the field of battle and were easy prey for the Daisy Mae's. The big undertaking of the year 1959-1960 was the Junior-Senior Prom. The theme was set for Sayonora , a sad farewell to the Seniors of '60. A luscious banquet of fried chicken and fish preceeded the nights entertainment at the Som- brero Beach Country Club. Under the red and yellow Japanese lanterns, the dancers whirled in their fine suits and billowing gowns till the wee small hours. Following the special movie shown for the Juniors and Seniors, some greeted the morning with a small breakfast at the Burtons. They then went home with the thoughts of a memorable night. Unity, ambition, enthusiasm, and a willingness to attain a goal are the char- acteristics of the class of '61. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, every member of the class was solidly behind; giving every concentrated effort to achieve the fi- nal goal of their four years at Marathon High School. So with the thought on this subject, the class came up with the single thought of going to Nassau. In the spirit of the times, a Shipwreck dance was held to comfort and enter- tain the outcasts of Marathon flats. The doors were opened to everybody, and even though the times were somewhat depressed, the dance was a high success. When Christmas time rolled around, the Seniors had a batch of Christmas cheer to distribute. Our gleaming faces could be seen everywhere and our words of cheer - Wouldn't you like a beautiful box of cards to send to your friends? The extensive coverage of our salesmen did bring good results, and even though everyone may still, to this day, run and hide when he sees an ap- proaching senior. Arbor Day was the scene of true patriotism. Seniors scurried up and down the roads of Key Colony Beach planting coconut palms and fertilizing them with seaweed. The seaweed rides across the highway are even comparable with the hayride with a little imagination. The final project which was either to make us or break us, was the Senior Play, Lute Song , with such honorable characters portrayed by Stirrat, Green- man, Germain, Winner, Parisho and others composing a cast of literally thou- sands. Costumes were from New York and the directing and sets were compli- ments of Lowe, Inc. Now approaching a final culmination, the class directs its thoughts toward the future; not just Nassau, but towards a tomorrow where the fruits of a har- vest worthy of the toil which engineered it. The working together of classmates and the attainments of the goals are both priceless experiences which add to the maturity of the individual and in some way prepare him for a larger scale to work in a community and obtain the goals in life. The Senior Class of 1961 wish to thank all who have patiently helped it and allowed it to grow to a further understanding of the world around it and enabled its individuals to get a start on the new course of a future life in a community. 22 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1961, being of sound (?) mind and body do hereby will and bequeath the following: I, Linda Barley, do will and bequeath myself from this school.

Even though the team was composed of girls, or should it be put . . . . one girl. Her name was spelled with capital letters. . . . DONNA. . . She had a terrific back 48 field. Although she was very powerful as she wooshed by, we still had another draw back. . . . We had no place to play.

SOFTBALL Planning on an equally successful season, as they had in volleyball, the girls intend to prove equally as capable in the sport of softball. THE COACH SPEAKS Sports aim to enrich life through enjoyable voluntary participation in any worthwhile activity during leisure time. It seeks to create further appreciation, abilities and interests long after one has left school. No other field of education adds more to a balanced life, than the field of sports. Sports make a vital contribution to each person who takes part. Some contributions are: obedience to the rules of the game; fair play; good sports- manship; loyalty to teammates; self-discipline; respect for others; and the sim- ple but ever important quality of honesty. There is probably no quality more greatly needed in American life today than the quality of cooperation, the willingness to sacrifice one's personal and self- ish interests for the greater welfare of his friends. 54 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS DRAWN (SITTING) FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Terry Loyce------------------------------Vice-President Gloria Bateman--------------------------------President Dave Hutchinson-------------------------------Secretary DRAWN (STANDING) FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Bill Konrath---------------------------Sergeant at Arms Beth Kunitz-----------------------------------Treasurer Sandra Guthrie David Heltman June Henry Gloria Holly David Hutchinson David Krebs Ray Sterling Gary Tittle Tenzy Zetterhour 58 Jeffery Adams Eddie Brickhouse Ronald Corey Ross Elwell Nancy Felton Betsy Gainey Lauvon McCoy Kathy Me Masters Frances Moore a h - Charles Pent Jimmy Rosner Marsha Steadham 60 Joe Aldacosta Beth Anderson Joan Biggs Ronnie Boggess Joe Bullock David Cleland Cathy Coe Roger Combs FRESHMEN Diane Conrad Doug Cotner Rachel Crandel Joe Dexter Mike Dimitri Terry Doolittle Nila Dulaney Frank Dux Jean Fowler Janice Ginette Dick Grathwhol Joe Guyon 62 Doris Gray Jonnie Harkins Larry Hendrix Ronald Hemlinger Don Irwin Carolyn Isenhour Ruth Ivans Wayne Johnson FRESHMEN Bruce Kimble John Knauth Ruth Kiddy Sandra Leder Peter Lenzi Dee Lofland Nancy Lowe Diane Madden Steve Mansell Mary Ellen Marrotte Derek Martin-Vague Bill McCook 63 Emily Moore Jerry Moore Donna Newell Dickie Nobel Brenda Norman Alice O'Gywnn Caryal Pahl Linda Parrish FRESHMEN Diane Pettie Elizabeth Peters Kay Ritch Karen Sadler Pat Shone Sandra Staude John Sturgeon Wayne Todd Cathy Webb Susan Whalton Dennis Williams Sandra Wood 64 Donald Barton Susan Barton Chuck Bayles Fran Beale Barbara Beaman James Beatty Norma Boggess Marsha Bums EIGHTH GRADE Gregg Burton Bonnie Campbell Butch Capo Richard Causely Joan Childs Billy Clark George Combs Thomas Deemer Joseph DeSanctis Grace Ellison Cheryl Elwell Lynn Grathwohl 66 Franklin Greenman Robert Guthrie Glenda Hair Priscilla Hopkins Charles Lewis Lesle Locke Betty Lowe William Lough Diana Lunn Sharon Matchett Carol Mayette Jacqueline McCoy Eric Morning Carol O’Gwynn Shirley Parisho Gerry Patterson Pamela Payne Norman Phyllis Joseph Rabito Luther Ramsey EIGHTH GRADE 67 Michael Reilly Robert Rose Nancy Sadler Wilma Sadler Billy Skinner Robert Steel Pamela Stull Janice Turner Joyce Wade Richard Waters Karen White Bonnie Wilson EIGHTH GRADE 68 Robert Amato Lisa Autrey Richard Baker Austin Bass Sharon Beale Sharon Beaman Richard Bogdan William Carter SEVENTH GRADE Stephen Daniels Daniel Deemer Jeanne Dexter Sandra Dizel Dennis Doolittle Timothy Edgar Andrea Forthingham William Hall Mary Jo Hendry William Hunter John Hutchinson Billy Isenhour 70 Judy Jusgenson Margaret Kaczkowski Donna Krebs John Lenker Paul Lenzi Sandra McCoy Robert McGrath Wesley McMasters SEVENTH GRADE Susan McWilliams Odes Moutardier Gayle Parrish Joan Paul Joyce Paul Roger Pennington Ronald Pierce Robert Ridings Randall Rode Ricky Rosner Joe Russo Paul Ryder 71 Eugene Smith Patricia Smith Jon Stull Mary Sturgeon Pamela Taylor John Vliet Gary Waters Joseph Walton Cynthia Williams Donald Williams Karen Umbumour SEVENTH GRADE 72 FIRST ROW, Left to Right: John Kleinhelter, Barry White, John Irwin.

This year it is my privilege to be that speaker. It is also my priv- ilege to thank, on behalf of my class, all those who have made tonight possible. The teachers, the parents, and the self-effacing members of the community who take our interests to heart. More than most, this class has cause to be thank- ful to all these people. Without the extra efforts of all of you, we could not have finished this year in the time and tempo with the other schools. We may possi- bly never know the full measure of your devotion but we are grateful for this op- portunity to make public our sincere appreciation. On my behalf I would like to show my Classmates a quick reprise of High School Life. Remember back in August When we all came back to School For reading, writing, and Slatermatic, And some of Lowe's Golden Rules? We saw the faces of our ole friends We saw some new ones too, And of course Mrs. Miller's helping hand In anything we do. The Election that we needed Was held right off the bat Charlie, Betty, Virginia, Chuck. Elected — Just like that. Just when things were squared auay Up from the south there came A swirling killer aimed at us Donna was her name. She tore at Tarpon and Buccaneer And at our hallowed school But when she cleared we saw she'd hit At everyone, as a rule. But nothing stopped our senior class Or our booming toun And we all saw that our friends were back When at last we looked around. Football season - Down the Dram Our field was just a mess And everyone was scared of us We simply must confess. Shipwreck dance we cannot forget With the boats out on the floor Aid I still can't recall how we got Those m through that door. Life went on just like it had In our first three high school years Filled with events and occasions that Will cause nostalgic tears. Basketball and baseball, Dances and vacations Mom and Dad wondering why We ask so many questions. We could see as time went on That high school life was through And soon we'd have to put to use The things that we learned and knew. But before the strings were tightly tied And before the year was done Nassau and the Senior Prom Were two more times for fun. So long, Class, So long, Games So long things to do. We'll remember high school Our whole lives through. Marathon High we take great pride In each project we do. We’ll take the future in our stride, With happy thoughts of you. by Peter Willcox Seniors in the Olden Days CRAIG GERMAIN ELEANOR WILLIAMS % X ARTHUR STIRRAT ) x - v CHARLOTTE WEESE CHARLES TITTLE CAROLYN RACKLEY CHARLES RUSSELL Jv RUTTGERS KEYS MOTOR LODGE Located on the Famous City, Key Colony Congratulations to the Seniors of 1961 Make the best of your future as you only have one.
