But look at me now. i ° 'i Opening 3 I've seen a lot of change . . . I’m not the same place 1 was twenty years ago . . . people change and places change . . . nothing stays the same. Just as leaves turn colors in the fall and drop from the trees, students grow a little taller, maybe a little wiser, certainly a little older and then ... It all happens so quickly, it seems I hardly get to know them and they're gone. 1 guess I've changed a lot in twenty years too. I've grown in many ways. I’m now fully accredited, I finally have a football field to be proud of, and I'm even close to being fully air-condi- tioned. But there's much more to me than just buildings and fields . . . what I'm really all about is people. Just like waves that roll up onto the beach . . . each wave of students comes, making a splash, and leaving their mark before they are quickly pulled back into the vast ocean of life. The wave unfolds, blending with the rest, leaving its fragments to go their own way, find their own answers to life's challenges, problems, and puzzles. So little time passes before yet another wave of students hits up against me, soon followed by another . . . and another . . . until it almost seems as if nothing is moving at all but the same wave pounding, pounding, pounding against my shore. In fact some things never really do change at all. People tend to fit into certain molds . . . the homecoming queen - cute, friendly, involved . . . the school jock - dedicated, disciplined, proud . . . the school red-neck - sharp, slick, fun-loving. Each year they come and leave . . . to be rapidly replaced by someone new, yet familiar. These people, these faces . . . we'll never see again, yet someone will be there . . . new, but old in so many ways. Looking back I see that the changes in my students are even more obvious than those in me. Year after year I crown homecoming royalty. My best athletes are honored each year; though their names and faces change, they But at times it seems I haven 4 Opening . . In twenty years My athletic fields have come a long way in twenty years. In 1957 1 didn't have a field or a team; son, in 1960, Hurricane Donna washed everything away. With fill pumped from the ocean there soon was land enough to build a football and baseball field and thanks to loads of ferti- lizer and floods of water my fields are green and beautiful today.

Every action’s purpose comes back to caring with this man. The patience, guidance, supervision, and inspiration he has demonstrated to us are the results of his caring about us and the things that we do. This is the finest tribute we can give; and to thank him for all he has devoted to us, we, the Shore- line staff, wish to dedicate this 1976-77 Shoreline to Mr. Bruce King. The shades of Coach King's different moods are reflected in his thoughtful, pensive looks of decision; his enthusiasm in sports; and his helpfulness as the yearbook advisor. He's a man we have all grown to know and love, and his friendship is something we all value. man fot a job well done. Opening 9 ew people have arrived ever since 1957. The' styles have changed - from clothes to cars, fads to fancies - but have the ideals of high school students really changed that much in twenty years? I think not! Haven't they all been con- cerned with grades, sports, dates, and ulti- mately, graduation and their later lives? I’ve seen my friends all go through these various stages of their lives. Learning about themselves and the world around them is what high school is all about. Time will never change that. So now, let me introduce you to all of my friends with me now, in this, my twentieth year A Special Year On the 9th day of June, in the year 1977 I will sit back as I have done for the past twenty years and watch the Class of '77 walk down my corridors for the last time as stu- dents of Marathon High School. I have seen to date 19 different classes ranging in size from 14 to 76 students graduate, and I will proba- bly see many more classes with an increasing number of students graduate from me and prepare for another phase of their life. Some of this year's graduates came to me up to five years ago as children enter- ing their seventh year of schooling, but now at the end of their senior year I am sure that each and every student will leave as a responsible young adult. In each of my twenty years, I have seen the ability to achieve the highest goal, overcome A very special moment . . . Graduation. The Special class of '77. My first special class . . . 1953. any obstacle, and fulfill any dream in each student that has graduated. I saw it in the first graduating class of 14 students and I see it again, this year in the largest of my graduating classes, 85 students. For some of this years graduating scholars their immediate goal is to pursue their schooling at the college of their choice. For others they will attempt to make it in the real world in a chosen profession. No mat- ter what they decide to do I will rest assured that they will make it with much success and self gratification. Enough about the future, let's take a look at what it means to be a senior, and what one's senior year may be like. From the moment that a I • Spirit of '77!! T person begins his or her senior year the feeling is that this is going to be a special year. But, what makes it so special? Could it be the feeling of taking the easiest classes possible and just relaxing for a yearv Or maybe it is just the opposite, taking diffi- cult classes and getting the last bit of education that is essential for the years ahead. Whether the special” feeling is one of the above or not, 1 feel there are a few things that make being a senior so Special. May I share them with you? Well, let's get started . . . . . . Taking tests like the SAT or ATP and scoring well on them so as to be accepted to the col- lege of one's choice. . . . Near the last half of foot- ball season homecoming rolls around, and we all know what that means, don't we? It means a chance for some lucky senior boy and girl to become MHS King and Queen. . . . Another very special part of the year is the friendliness that is captured inside the senior class. Each year 1 have observed friendships in the senior class which are as strong as steel and usually last for eternity. I guess you could put friendliness on the top of the list of Senior Quali- ties. ... At the end of each year, after all tests have been taken. Homecoming King and Queen have been crowned, courses are over, and friendships have been made the Specialist part of the year arrives . . . GRADUA- TION! !! The senior class proph- ecy is read. Last Will and Testa- ments are read, students receive awards and special recognition of honor, diplomas are handed out, rings turned, lassies are flipped, and then it is all over. But, it is just the beginning for me. The start of a new group of seniors, and the beginning of another Special year; another Senior year. Now that I’ve told you a little bit about a senior and what his Jear is like, let's take a look at this years special class and their year . . . I 1 3 Senior Intro. They Put The Pieces Together. ,r UCC Mr. Jerry McCurry and Mrs. Jessie Hobbs, this year's senior class sponsors, have provided much motivation and inspiration to the Class of '77. The senior class would like to extend their greatest appreciation for the wonderful sponsor - ship given by these two fine people.____________ Seniors . . Senior Advisors Officers With New Ideas New Ideas . . . Those were the key words of this year’s senior class officers. Led by president Pat Bluett (seated), along with (Left to Right) Cassie Carter (vice-president), Linda Shepherd (Secretary) and Jolie Moore (Treasurer), The Senior Class put forth a lot of effort towards becoming a class to be remembered. One of their new ideas was the Class Whips. CLASS WHIPS: (From L-R) Karl Bodker, Flip Macon, Mark Rex. Whip Spirit Dolphin Spirit . . . it’s conta- gious. Especially when you have Class Whips to help ’’spread” it around. This is the first year any class has had whips at MHS, and they have proved to be valuable to the Class of '77. They have led the seniors to numerous spirit stick victories this year, keeping the seniors at their peak!

It’s here that the problems begin: First, a five-way discussion about where to go. Once that decision is reached and everyone is ready to go the car isn't. OK, so you turn the key a few dozen times, all the while demonstrating the extent of your four-letter-word vocabulary. Finally it stans and you race down Sombrero Road only to meet a parade on US 1 (you know, a steady stream of campers, trailers, etc.; all going 25 mph). The light (which works every fifth Thursday in Febru- ary) now changes and you take a place in the parade behind a You-Haul-It from Michigan. Fifteen minutes, it's time to order. Fighting a growling stomach, watery mouth and a crabby, overworked waitress, you order a big juicy hamburger only to find out there's NO MEAT!! The clock says two minutes left so it's a mad dash back to Proudly displaying their winning entry on food price fluctuations in the science fair is Jim Hanlon and Eric Osking. school (passing on the right, 75 in a 45 zone), looking out all the time for county mounties. For once, luck is with you as the light is A green at the Bank. But that's the last bit of luck you have, A for as you check in thirty seconds late, Mr. Beachum is waiting to award you a A thirty minute detention as another frustrated loser at Beat the Clock.

One's Senior year is supposed to be fun, right? Wrong. As soon as you enter things that must be done begin to pile up. First of all applications to colleges are sent out early so that you can be assured of acceptance. While these applications are being proc- essed by the colleges, one must take the SAT and hope to score AT LEAST 900! During the month of November Senior pictures must be taken, ordered and all that garb. As for classes the regulars must be endured: Government, English and Speed Reading. During the end of February graduation announcements are ordered and measure- ments taken for caps and gowns. I'll bet you're thinking that a Senior must only work hard his whole last year fight? Wrong again! There is the fun of Grad Nite at Walt Disney World and, of course, Graduation to mix in with all the work. And just think, this must be done all in ONE year! necoi lonori im wi All in One Year Mike Martin laughs as Pat Bluett. Tony D'Ascanio and Chris Wind- berg lecture him on fixing his hair. Chris Windberg finds that trying to look serious while your pants hang out of the gown is difficult! Beat the Clock IBBSISES The Seniors show who's got the most spirit after they won this year's first spirit stick. 9pi Hi of Course The Seniors captured second place in the float competition with their rendi tion of JAWS. ' During the last basketball game the scoreboard seems to be say lng goodbye to the Senior members of the team. Even though Linda Shepherd and Roda Thompson tell Laura Riker it's not polite to point, she gives us the finger. ' I'll bet you're sitting there wondering how the Seniors get ready for a Pep Rally, right? Well, because I've got first hand informa- tion I should be able to do a pretty good job of explaining the procedures. The first thing to do is find a place large enough to roll out big posters. This year the recreation room at the Mariner Motel was used. The next item on the list was to buy rolls of paper, paints (usually bright colors), poster board glitter, magic markers, balloons, confetti, frisbees old tin cans, small pebbles, streamers and the most important items: a stereo, a large group of people, and as much time as possible. Now what?” you ask? Well in a snap of a finger I'll begin to explain that. After all these things were gathered up the Pep Rally committee sat down and thought up neat sayings for posters, ideas for pins and other ingenious ideas. Once this is done, the real work begins. With the paper and paints the signs are made This year they decided to honor all Senior members of the football team and Cheerleading squad rf lus the Dolphins in general The poster board was used to make a sign for behind the class. To make the pins : they cpt out the designs .from poster board and acTded .glitter to make them look snazzy. After all of the basics • were fin- , ished , ’ the Seniors started work on Linda Shepherd lakes time out from her speech for Homecoming Queen to spread a bright smile. their ingeni- . ous ideas. The tin cans were filled with pebbles, taped shut and painted blue with white 77’s on the side. These were used as noise makers. The balloons, con- fetti, and streamers came into use on the day of the Pep Rally. All of these things were put into a loft high above the heads of the class. With the pull of two ropes, the loft opened and bal- loons came down everywhere. Oh, one last thing that is vitally important is the ability to go to bed at 1 am Friday morning and get up four hours later to start hanging up signs and such. So, as you can see, to win an MHS Homecoming spirit stick takes a lot of hard work, long hours and an overabun- dance of spirit! The Problem: Vivian Schleu was a layout designer and Photographer, while Mark Rex was Section Head and Photographer. Given: A deadline date of March 4, 1977 for the completion of fifty- some odd pages of various layouts, portraits and pictures.

Class '78 Juniors - Those wonderful people who are experienced enough to know how to get through school with a minimum amount of hassle and a maximum amount of fun but are not yet worried about what’s gonna happen next year. The big event of the year is the Junior-Senior Prom; the Junior part of the title being due to the fact that it is the Junior Class that each year pays the bill for the formal affair. Where does the money come from, you ask? Most, if not all, comes from the annual magazine sale, where every parent, teacher and friend renews their TV Guide subscription for another year. Another impor- tant part of the Junior year is the ordering and receiving of class rings - those expensive little bits of gold and silver with dates and dolphins plastered all over them that boys have a hard time holding on to and girls like to wear around their necks (although not as much as they used to twenty years ago). Yes, being a Junior is like having the cake and eating it too.

With equal rights for men and women, Mark Frigola found carrying a handbag made good sense. What Is a School?? Ever watch an old-time movie where all the kids sat in their seats with their backs straight and their hands folded on the desks? No foolishness back then - heck, if you even gave a wrong answer, you got a ruler across the knuckles for a reward! Nowadays, there is a much more relaxed attitude. Things like slave-days and such keep the whole school from going stir-crazy. And it's a welcome change from the old strict days because it shows that, while the school’s primary function is still to educate, this means not only will we learn names and numbers but also how to get along. To be able to laugh both at yourself and at others without hurting feelings; to be able to lift others spirits when they are down just as you would hope someone would do for you and to be able to realize that each and every person is a unique individual are lessons that are just as important as algebra and history. So while blackboards and textbooks are an integral part of the educational process, so are the clubs, athletic teams and special events which expand the students' consciousness of the outside world and the people who inhabit it.

Of course, some people didn't agree with their thoughts and after a few sign- pulling episodes, peace was restored with the help of M.H.S.'s own Henry Kis- singer - Mrs. Gradick. HI NS The Juniors Get It Together (finally) In the previous years at M.H.S., the Class of '78 had plenty of spirit; it just wasn't organized. But something happened over the summer, and the Juniors really managed to liven up. They set up a Junior Spirit Day at the beginning of school. During Homecom- ing Week, the theme for the Junior hall was movies, and because of their good imagination and artwork, the Juniors won first place for hall decorating. A victory bonfire sponsored by the Juniors flamed up Dolphin pride in everyone. The Junior float will long be remembered as a Work of Art. Since next year is their graduat- ing year, the Class of '78 will really be on the move, so be pre- pared ! 78 Juniors Joy Suarez Frank Thompson Laura Threlkeld Carlos Valdes Ken Wachob Lloyd Winner Laura Wohlers Sheri Worley Danny Wynn Jodi Young Beth Zuern Diana Fuller Michelle Gomez models a snazzy swimsuit in the Nike Club fashion show. - A John Joseph receives congrats' for selling the most magazines during the Junior Maga- zine Drive. £ Curry Thompson is certainly enjoying Mrs. Stout’s ukulele serenade.

Just as this year’s Seniors are completing one part of their lives and beginning another, so are we Juniors. We will no longer have to contend with being called underclass- men. We’ll be upperclassmen; we'll be 1; we’ll be SENIORS. No longer will we have to eat in the cafeteria or spend those last long five minutes in class. Just think, every time the Class of '78 enters an assembly, everybody will have to give US a STANDING OVATION! It kind of gives you a feeling of superiority, doesn’t it? I bet that you're probably thinking, Well, after spending nearly two thirds of my life going to school, it's the least they can do! But wait! We must prove to the rest of our fellow students that we REALLY DESERVE that ovation; that we REALLY ARE 1. k We have to set an example and show that we are responsible young adults. 1 know; 1 know. You’ve heard this story before, right? We’ve all got to realize that it's up to us to earn respect from both the faculty members and the underclassmen. How? you ask. It's actually very simple. Show respect for them, come back from lunch on time, or quit skipping class for once. Being a Senior does not mean that everyone will fall at your feet each time you pass by. Sure, as a Senior, you're given a lot, but each of us must give some too. So the next time you see a very small underclassman who looks like he has a very large appetite, don't cut in front of him in the lunch line. If a teacher looks like he or she could use a litle help, don't turn away. After all. we ARE the Class of '78. The Sophomore Class has proved to be a very spirited class throughout the whole year. The spirit just kept on coming! LEFT: Secretary Cheryl Versic contributed time and effort to her class and their vari- ous activities.

They chew all sorts of the sticky stuff that friendly dentists love . . . from the rubbery sugarless stuff, to that obnoxiously sweet glop with sugar. Bubble gum can be found everywhere, under desks, on the sidewalk, on glasses after a poor unfortunate soul blows a bubble a little TOO big, and sometimes, to a teacher's delight, smacking and cracking away in a stu- dent's mouth. The delightful concoction has been around since black leather jackets back in '57, and is likely to remain for many generations to come.

This year's Freshman Class - the Class of '80 (as illustrated by the poster) will be graduating in three years, which means that they must decide SOON what lies ahead for them in the future. These Freshmen must also realize that what they do now will influence their lives later on. So get on the ball, Freshmen, because after you're Seniors, what then?? For ninth graders, it's classes that really count for the first time. Some students turn over a new leaf so they can graduate on time and others just go on like they always have.

What Exactly Is a Rugrat? We hear the term rugrat all the time but what does it mean? The dictionary doesn't have a definition for it so it must be something local. Maybe examples would help. Have you ever had an armful of books and, just as you go around the cor- ner by the main office, had them knocked all over by a 4'2 track star running for no apparent reason. Well that little cutie was a rugrat. How about going to the school store to buy a much-needed package of paper for the big English exam only to find some little darling has bought the last ten packages to fill her notebook? Those are just a few of the wonderful antics that rugrats” can perform. After his late outing last night. Brian Splain has a hard time staying on his feet.

Nof All Work Have you ever stopped to think of how much time kids here at Marathon High School spend out of classes? Well, there's 4 minutes between each class. This time is usu- ally spent going to the lockers and elbowing the way to classes. One usually has about 15 minutes before school that is most often spent doing homework from the night before. There is usually at least one special activity a week like assemblies, pep rallies, movies, sports games, meetings, etc. These things usually last at least an hour. Half an hour is spent each day at lunch, but this is a time for munching out and not social- izing. If this isn’t enough time, you can always skip classes, which can run from 1 hour to all day out of class, so as you can see going to MHS isn’t all work! Waiting around for your fourth period teacher to open up can make lunch break even longer.

How do you feel when you get caught? Most hope that the teacher will not read it and if they do the next thing to pray for is that they don’t read it out loud. Which is what happens in most cases. And if it is a love letter you can get really embarrassed, so you had better watch it. Passing notes can be lots of fun except for when you get caught then it can be embarrassing. With notes you get to tell your friends what you are thinking about right then so as that you don’t forget. The only bad part about it It wasn't always work for Junior High Cheer- leaders.

A good teacher gives a part of him herself to each student. He spends much more time than 8 hours a day at the job. Papers must be graded, lessons pre- pared, parents must be conferred with, it must be pondered over as to why students don't put forth any effort or why they flunked their last quiz when they should have passed. In other words, it takes time, patience, and dedi- cation to teach. That’s what’s so very special about these 4 faculty members. They have not only shown dedication, but have spent TWENTY YEARS of their lives watching us grow, helping us through the painful times, shar- ing our joys, and expressing their love for us, for teaching, and for dear old MHS. So to you Mrs. Gradick, Mr. McCurry, Mr. Locke, and Mr. Majewski, we dedicate this faculty section, because you have given us 20 years of your lives.

At the end of the first week, one of the drummers moved to Miami. EL It was the last day of school for the students.

Caught in the act of sneaking a hug in the Science wing, Mr. and Mrs. Lillibridge blush Insen: The younger Mr. Lillibridge Everyone knows about our Senior High Counselor, Mr. Lillibridge, or better known as Lil.” He's the one who res- cues you out of class for sched- ule changes or maybe just to rescue you? You can always depend on Lil for a good joke or to bring you up when you’re down and he is always there when you just need to talk. He's the one who announces to ever- yone about all those tests com- ing like the SAT, ASVAB, and others. He’s also a big help to all those Seniors who need cer- tain courses they don't know about to graduate. He sees to all Senior High schedules. See, he does all these things and we just think of him as a Flirt. He's our good ole Lil. Glenn Lillibridge Counselor During the exciting Homecoming Week Mr. Lillibridge was hired as a library aid.

Eunice Stout, in her Morris Tee-shin flashes us one of her wide grins. Insert: The younger Mrs. Stout. It’s about that time when Mrs. Lowe settles down and starts daydreaming about being rich and never having to work again. Party??? I can remember the good old days when Christmastime was near. All of us in Mrs. Stout’s English classes would be secretly planning our little parties. We'd bring pizzas. Cokes, cookies, and all sorts of things. There would be music playing, people dancing and everyone is just as happy as could be. You see, it took a lot of planning for these affairs, because the rules say no festivities so we kept it as secret as possible. After the party started, everyone in the school knew about it, but how could they stop us? Whenever Mrs. Gradick or Mr. Beachum strolled by, we would hide everything so they wouldn't know. Still, they'd have to have been senseless not to hear us! Yes, those were the good ole days.

You re right in front of the door slithering by when you trip on your untied shoelace. You’re so scared you just lay there with your face hidden so maybe he won’t recognize you for one of the usuals but Mr. Beachum's eye- sight is keen and he sees you and yells That'll be two hours after school! So then you soria drag yourself to second period thinking what could be worse when you realize you left your books home. Safely in class, the teacher asks where your book is and you just say home. He shakes his head back and forth and chalks up another detention. By lunch time you're famished and you speed into the lunchroom to get ahead of everyone and run into Mr. Beachum, practically knocking him down. You end up being the last one in line. While eat- ing, you start thinking about how boring next period is going to be and you get this fantastic idea. So you skip on over to hide behind the gym. You sit down, relax and fall asleep completely forgetting about Mr. Beac- hum's after-lunch round-up and so he catches you sleeping there. Boo! TWO MORE DETENTIONS!! Then you crawl to sixth period. Time goes by slowly but you manage. Five minutes before the bell is to ring telling you its safe to go home, Mr. Beachum walks in and hands you five pink detention slips. Of course you try to talk him out of a couple of them and succeed in getting rid of two but in the distance your bus is driving off leaving you behind and you ask, Was it worth it? Who says our school doesn't have expert first-aid as a concerned Mr. Beachum tapes up Kenny Cruz's finger. 126 I Separate Checks. . . Maloney seems to be scrutiniz unseen to us.

Every student is completely absorbed in and fully enjoys what he is doing. Distributing tools, welding springs for a half track, rebuilding 40 hp. outboard engines, taking a test on gearcase groups, or making a simple icehouse hook ... no matter what they’re doing, they are actually happy in that class!

Wow, I can't wait until I’m a senior, what a snap! . . . or so I thought until I was promptly informed that if I planned to go aca- demic I would preferably take physics my senior year. So I find myself every morn- ing, first period, in Coach King’s physics (affectionately called quizzics ) class. I usually try to start the day off in a fairly positive way, I walk into physics very deter- mined, thinking - Today, for once I'm going to get an A” in this class. So I sit down, pull out my pen and paper, and fervently attack the problem written on the board. I debate, ponder, theorize, speculate, and ana- lyze until my last second of time is gone. Then, disgusted and depressed, I hand in my half-finished problem. But that's not the worst of it . . . Coach King begins to solve the problem ... it all seems so simple when he does it. It completely crushes my self- confidence to see him solve the problem so easily and effortlessly.

Peoples are all different, that's why they are all beautiful . . . because everyone has some- thing that is more beautiful than anyone else's.

Because I'm so proud of them and their accomplish- ments, I've given them the next one- hundred ten pages of my Twentieth Anni- versary book. Happiness Isa Club to Belong to.. . Since the beginning of time, man has always been a social creature. He has, with the exception of a very few, always needed companionship. In early times man satisfied this need by forming armies and working together communally in town- ships. Now, in our modern com- plex society these means are obsolete and new ways must fill their places. These new ways of obtaining and retaining friend- ships are known as clubs. Almost every town in America, regard- less of size, has at least two or three different clubs. The same condition can be found in any school. From the single room school house to the high school with ten thousand students, you will always find a multitude of clubs. These clubs are as essen- tial to a school as the principal. Student life revolves about these clubs and without them school would soon become simply a prison, with forced learning as the sentence. Clubs help to make school a much more pleasant and pleasurable experience. Through the years many ideas and inter- ests have changed repeatedly. Therefore clubs at Marathon High have appeared and disap- peared throughout it's twenty- year life. Most of the original clubs have vanished and new ones have replaced them. Only two of the original clubs remain, these being DCT and Student Council. The Key Club of two decades ago. During its infancy the Key Club was quite active in school and community activities. Ready, aim. fire! The Rifle Club takes aim at target practice. Many do not remember this club (circa 1960-65). The 1971 N. H. S. Induction. Things have certainly changed since then. 1 d6 Clubs and Organizations Introduction The Student Council meets for an “official” picture. In 1957, the Student Council began. Its members wrote their own constitution which has been in use until this year when a new one will possibly take effect. In the years of its development the Student Council was able to provide a juke box, help pay for the P.E. shower rooms, and run the school store until 1963 when it was taken over by the D.C.T. One of the pro- jects of this year's Student Council is a Careers Day, hopefully to include such big names as Paul Newman. At a Rotary luncheon, Interact members were inducted. As times change, the death of a club is almost inevitable; and the Key Club was no exception. The Key Club was founded in 1957 as a boys' service club. Its mem- bership was limited to fifteen boys in the tenth through twelfth grades. The Interact Club now fills its place and is sponsored by the Rotary Club. The Interact accepts boys and girls in the ninth through twclth grades. Interact promises to be one of Marathon High School’s most active clubs. Ecology Club members “Pitch In to clean up the Keys. Did you know that MHS once had a rifle club? It was founded in 1960 for the pur- pose of firearm safety. Only students with good grades were allowed to be members. Now, the Rifle Club has disappeared and in 1973, the Ecology Club was formed. It is one of the largest clubs in school and concentrates on the preservation rather than the destruction of Nature. It proves how dramatically the interests have changed over the years. Burning candles and solemn vows marked the 1976 N.H.S. induction ceremony. Leadership. Character, Service, and Scholarship - these four words spell out National Honor Society's ideals. N.H.S. has been around Marathon High almost as long as the blocks that it's built of. Of course, the Honor Society has had its ups and downs; like the time someone forgot to pay the State dues and the Society lost its Charter. Then two ladies, Mrs. Diaz and Mrs. Oppel, came along and revived the N.H.S. and help make it into the club it is today. Club and Organization Introduction 147 Majorettes and Dance Corps Get It Together Majorettes and Dance Corps - the girls that add style and variety to the Band. Out in front of parades and half-time shows, these hard- working girls get it all together. The 1976-77 year brought many surprises to the Majorettes. The year began with a camp in Lees- burg, Fla., for a week during the summer. After returning home, they practiced many hours; some- times with and sometimes without the Band. At Homecoming, they gave an extra effort to display the honor and pride of being an MHS Majorette. The Dance Corps really boogied down with new routines. They practiced every afternoon following a hard day at school. The girls worked in cooperation with their sponsors. Mr. Ed Locke and Mrs. Grayce Carty. Majoreites lead off the Homecoming Parade.

Bob Badin- ski and John McClesky worked hard to make the sounds come out right. Getting the slide on the trombone to go to the right place takes a special talent like Aron Kramer. The Marching Band worked very hard this year to satisfy their audiences. They worked every day after school to get things just right. The traditional M has been in all the shows ever since there’s been a band, and it will remain for years to come. Gini Ihm and Terrie Reaves play their music. Band 149 Marathon High School Dolphin Band The Marathon High School Band has three divisions - the Concert Band, the Marching Band, and the Pep Band. All of these are under the direction of Mr. Ed Locke. Musical selections that the Bands play range from march music such as ’’God Bless America, to the disco sounds of T.S.O.P. and A Fifth of Beethoven, to concert selections like The Folk Legend Overture. Above is posed the Concert Band in formal formation. The members are: FIRST ROW: (Left to right) Susan Badinski. Sheri Zrudski. Beth Zuren, Elizabeth Van Wermer, Cathy Versic, Cheryl Pruitt.

Half- way is not enough, as the Band did their best to produce first- rate music. A Pep Band was formed for the first time this year. They played at Pep Rallies and basketball games to give the team and crowd spirit. Contemporary music, played only as the Pep Band can play it, picked up the pace.

Years ago, gladiators met in great arenas to do battle. Along with these gladi- ators were what we now might term as cheerleaders; people, both men and women, who followed the gladiators from fight to fight and tried to urge them on to victory with screams and cheers of encouragement. Since those ancient times, the games have become civilized (?) but they still have the gladiators and the cheerleaders. At Marathon High, as with any other high school, the cheerleaders are some- thing special. They're the heart of the school spirit, leading Pep Rallies, spon- soring dances, raising money, and most importantly, raising the team’s spirit - making winning that much easier. Perfection is something that seemed to come quite easily to this year’s varsity squad. They began the year by spending four days at camp where they won several awards and learned most of their cheers for this year. Soon after returning from camp, school opened and the cheerleaders arrived ready to go to work. With their hard-working sponsor Ms. Linda Hale supervising, they practiced twice a week and when the first foot- ball game came around, they were ready for it. Then, as quickly as it had come, football was over' and the cheerleaders moved to basketball. During basketball season, the spirit grew. Although they were only allowed to attend the in-county games, and District Tournament, they made up for the away games they missed by cheering just that much harder at the home games! Zell McNew looks quite pleased with her season ending flower. A year of cheerleading begins with try- outs in the spring and Mary Hopkins pre- pares for hers with a smile. Sink it! cries Nancy Swanson and Cathy Roth at a basketball Pep Rally. The always-smiling Patti Spalten. The Varsity squad seems to be up in the air about the Dolphins. To Linda Hale, Junior Varsity and Varsity Cheerleaders, What does a captain say to a group of girls and a sponsor who taught the meaning of the word spirit? I wish I knew. Camp, arguments, superiors, and funny times are memories I shall never forget. I'd like to thank you for your determina- tion and making me proud to be a MHS cheerleader with you. I wish you luck and hap- piness. To be honest, I sure will miss you terribly. Hold the spirit. Love, Nancy 153 Vorsity Cheerleaders In ihe Beginning. The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders really had their act together this past year. In the beginning, they worked closely with the Varsity squad by attending camp and practicing together as well as serving as an extension of the Varsity during football season. During Homecoming Week, they played an integral role in the planning and execution of the dance and other spirit-week events. When football ended, the squads separated into two units once again. Basketball brought new cheers and experiences for the girls. Although they were not permitted to go with their team on the road games, several in-county trips allowed them to show their top-quality cheering capabilities.

Here Deanna Roth does a split above the heads of Leslie Hendrix, Vivian Baldwin and Kelly Mehl. A Time for Learning Every talent must have a period of learning and cheerleading is no exception. This year the Junior High Cheerleaders had their share of learning experiences. Although they did not attend camp, they spent many hours absorbing last year’s varsity cheers and with the help of the Varsity and Junior Varsity cheerleaders, they quickly began to look like an experienced squad. Throughout foot- ball season, the Junior High was able to keep their team's enthusi- asm at a peak and at the close of the season, the Junior High foot- ball team was on top. With football’s end, the cheerleaders had no time for rest. They moved right into basketball with still more cheers to leam. Throughout the season they worked hard to make their team Number 1, but unlike their older counterparts, the Jr. Hi Cheerleaders were able to cheer at all of the away games.

It is a learning experience - you learn to get along with people, you learn teamwork, and you also learn how to argue, (and that's good if you want to go into politics later when you get older!) - Toni Regna Being a Jr. High cheerleader was a lot of fun and it meant a great deal to me. Some fun things we did included Pep Rallies and going to all the away games, and we won all of them. - Deli Garcia I'm really proud to be representing MHS. Being a cheerleader helps me get along with other people. It's a lot of fun and I hope to make J.V. next year. - Cindy Windberg Being a Jr. High cheerleader is a fantastic experience.

Although no interscholas- tic games were played, the soc- cer club still had regular practice sessions on Mondays, Wednes- days, and Fridays. By midyear it was clear just how well this alien sport was taking hold. A practice game that put the soccer club up against the undefeated faculty was heavily attended by the stu- dents who seemed to be very interested in the outcome of the game. The team is looking for- ward to next year when they will be part of the athletic program and have regularly scheduled games.

Commentators were Jeanne Dixon and Bill Thompson of WFFG. The proceeds, which totaled over $300, went to the refurbish- ing of the teachers' lounge. Under the direction of Ms. Bettye Chaplin, the Nike Club hosted their annual spring fashion show at the Sombrero Country Club. Before the show began over 150 people feasted on a buffet meal prepared by the Country Club's chef. After everyone's tummy was full, Fashion Quorum 77 began.

Future Homemakers of America Teaches the Skills of Homemaking Being a housewife takes more than get- ting married and having kids. There's a great deal of economics that must be learned to run a successful budget; many strategies to be used to cope with marital and child-rearing crises; and many solu- tions to everyday problems like meal preparation and laundry. Future Home- makers of America, (commonly known as F.H.A.), teaches young women in high school these responsibilities. As their fund-raising projects this year, they had a candy sale, sold roses on Valentine’s Day, and held a Sweetheart Dance. They also went to their yearly convention to learn more about their organization and to incorporate new ideas into their branch. Future Homemakers of America are not just future housewives. They are young women preparing for a life-long career as a chef, housekeeper, accountant, chauf- feur, economist, psychologist, mother, and wife. How could anyone be called just a housewife” with a job like that!? Being a smart shopper is a talent of F.H.A. girls and good housewives.

You see, there's this group that goes by the handle Ecology Club and one of their big thrills each year is to plant a tree (or maybe even a bunch of them). For instance, this year a mahogony tree (classy, right?) was given a new home in the front cir- cle. Several years ago, a line of pine trees that in the future would grow to 50 feet were planted between the football field and the ocean. At last report, however, they weren't doing too well due to the salt air and lack of fresh water. Enough about trees. This enterpris- ing group, led by Mr. Bo Johnston, also plays janitor once a year and attempts to clean up the airport. Not only are all the discarded bot- tles and cans eliminated but the shrubs are trimmed and made to look neat. Could it be that there really does exist a service club at MHS??

While at SEEK '76, Ecology Club members attended Third Century America. Here, an experimental jet, X24B is on display at the Kennedy Space Center. Can We Save It? Oil, forests, natural gas, coal . . . How much time is left before these resources are exhausted? It took Mother Nature thousands of years to produce the natural resources that we've practically used up in a couple of hundred. Can you imagine having to wait for the sun to come out and heat up the water in hundreds of pipes on your roof before there would be enough water for your shower? At SEEK '76, held at Florida Technological Uni- versity this past summer, Ecology Club members learned how little natural resources we have left, the advantages and disadvantages of solar and nuclear energy and what we, as environmentally concerned citizens can do to help preserve and protect our environment and natural resources. These members were sent back with a message - for YOU - Please remember that Yes, we ARE running out of time! ” 5...4...3...2...1... Blast Off! In this launch mission control center Ecology club members were able to observe a simulated take-off for a moon launch. Is It Worth It? As the alarm goes off at 7:00 AM on a Saturday, you wonder if it's really worth getting up this early to help the Ecology Club pull weeds out of some flower bed at the airport. And you probably won't be able to tell which plants are weeds and which are flow- ers! But after you’ve sweated like a horse, and gotten what seems like a million bug bites - after you’ve finished and you're sipping your Coke, you see how the blossoms have gotten fuller, the leaves look greener and the whole flower bed has a much happier appearance. You can step back and feel proud that you've been able to help a few flowers. You can say, Hey, when are we gonna do this again. It’s really worth it! Eddie Mincey and Henry Nelson found that weed- ing the tables at the airport was a rather ’sticky business. Senior High Ecology 1 169 THE A Few Good Ideas And A Lof Of Hard Work EQUIPMENT FOR PLAY: 38 intelligent, loyal, hard working people that will not cease to work until they have completed the task of putting together the best, most complete yearbook in the history of the school. These people must be able to withstand extreme internal pressures and still produce professional work in a very short, limited span of time. 1 (one) advisor with unlimited time and an unnatural talent that allows him to always come up with a good idea or a tactful suggestion. 2 (two) typewriters that will work day and night with carefree operation. Unlimited supplies of pens, pencils, dummy layout sheets, quad-paks, rulers, and croppers. 3 (three) cameras with an infinite number of different types of lenses. Unlimited supplies of film, photographic paper, and developing chemicals. 1 (one) dark room with at least 1 (one) working door, an enlarger, stabi- lizer, wash tub sink, 14 (fourteen) developing tanks, and 2 (two) dryers. OBJECT OF THE GAME: The object of THE SHORELINE GAME is to assemble a yearbook unmatched by any other. This yearbook must appeal to both the student body and the community. It must also serve as a reminder of the past year to each person who possesses one. STARTING THE GAME: Find a good, hard working editor and an equally good and dependable assistant editor. Players must then find a theme for their book. This theme can be almost anything, but whatever it is, it should apply to that particular year and should be carried throughout the entire book. Players must next select a date at which they wish to have the book ready to distribute to the students. Players will then draw a DEADLINE CARD and begin at start space. DEADLINE CARDS: Instruct players when their section is due to go to the publisher. Players who do not finish their section by the date shown on the DEADLINE CARD, shall serve a penalty. DEADLINE CARD PENALTY: Any player misses a deadline will automatically make his book late. He may also suffer from headaches, heartburn, insomnia, and ridicule from fellow players and students. ENDING THE GAME: The game is officially ended when all books are sold and distributed. To reach this point each player must have successfully reached the square adjacent to the finish. By this time the player should have completed all deadlines, helped to place 550 (five hundred-fifty) names and covers on each book and spent at least 4 (four) sleepless nights. WINNER, WINNING THE GAME: The winner of this game is each and every person who owns a SHORELINE YEARBOOK. The game is won when the players have the satisfaction in knowing they’ve done their best and see their work in print. 170 Shoreline Stoff Quick thinking staff comes up with good opening.

Athletics have always played a big pan in my life. And looking back, it's easy to see just now far the athletic program has come from when it staned back in 1957. 1957: The age of short hair and straight pants. I had a football team that played with flags and while it might not sound too mean, it was a rough game. The first basketball team had eight boys and had to play outside on an asphalt coun. The girls had a volleyball team and were just as important in spons as the boys. There were only two coaches for a long time; one each for the boys and girls. By the 1960's baseball had been started (even though games were played somewhere else because there was no land behind me like there is today.) The interest in girls' athletics continued to grow and basketball and softball were added. Bas- ketball remained king of all activities throughout the sixties: providing my only team to go to a state tour- nament (1962). Homecom- ing was celebrated at the end of basketball season and practices staned at the beginning of school in Sep- tember. Basketball soon moved inside to a new gym and in 1968-69 came my only undefeated team ever, Coach Bud Wilkinsons' Jun- ior Varsity team finished the season with a 21-0 record. The start of the '70's was also the beginning of football as we nave it today. Although there was a field (minus the conces- sion stand), practices were held on the clay and coral poisoning was a common occurance. 1 74 Athl.hc Introduction Making allowances foi the wind outside always gave the home advantage. Even the girls got a chance to play in the clay and mud in 1958. Two basketball stars of 1965 eventually return to Marathon High as teachers. FOOTBALL SQUADS Until 1970 the only interscholastic football played at M.H.S. was of the flag vari- ety. Kfjrathon High School Football Squad, 1st string, versus the second string; all in fun and practical practice U on-coming and very successful football season. The Cheerleading team poses la the background, chec:;;.. - on. Today's women athletes compete In spa- cious gyms and with modem equipment. Basketball players went from playing under the stars outside to becoming stars inside. Tackle football replaces flags in 1970 and by 1976 the Dolphins are competing for confer ence honors. Some things never change - the rivalry between Marathon and Coral Shores remains as intense as ever. Games were hard to find and often much larger schools had to be scheduled. Even if a school the same size could be found, it was often very far away and I remember quite a few times teams coming back at 3 or 4 in the morning. However, all this too ended when I became a part of the Gulfstream Athletic Conference in 1975. Now, 1 have a nice new football and baseball field and enough teams to keep them all full. I’ve come a long way in 20 years and I’m proud of it. . . .And Now Even the girls get a chance to play in the firm red clay and sod in 1976.

Cheerleaders urge the play- ers to fight.” Of course there are always those that maintain that the sport costs too much and doesn't involve that many students. Well, maybe only 25 play but have you ever walked the halls during Homecom- ing week? Do you think that just 25 people made all those posters, floats and decorations? How about the pep rallies? Noise, Noise, and MORE NOISE. Students who won’t go to class think nothing of staying up all night to decorate their halls. So what do you think? Is football really worth it? The answer can only be found in the minds of a Marathon football player and the people who get involved in the event. 176 Vortity Football Dolphins rt Season on Right Foot A host of uninvited Dolphins (Brett Elwell, Howie Grimm and Jody Hogan) pour in to block and recover a Palmer punt leading to the second Marathon touchdown. We want to beat Marathon so bad that they never want to sched- ule us again because we're so tough. With this prediction by the opposing coach hanging over their heads, the Dolphins opened their season against the Palmer Pirates. In an effort to show how tough they were, on the first play the entire Pirate defensive line illegally attempted to intimidate the Mara- thon offense. It didn’t work. 70 yards and 7 Palmer penalties later. Bill Benner bounced into the end zone. A short run by Q.B. Brett Elwell and a 8-yard romp by Jody Hogan spurred the Dolphins on to a 22-0 lead. Lloyd Winner added to Palmer's misery by taking a one- handed interception 60 yards for the Dolphin's final score. It is not known whether Palmer will be on Marathon's football schedule next season. A hard-charging offense line allowed the Dolphins to roll up impressive ground game statistics. Junior Jody Hogan skips around left end for a two point conversion following first Dol- phin touchdown. Rough By the luck of the draw, Marathon opened its District Playoff schedule against the Raiders of Ransom, the 1 private school in Dade County at the time. The Dolphins opened with a strong ground game; constantly pounding short gains through tne Raider defense. Yet, whenever they got within scoring range, Marathon was plagued by a costly turnover. Halftime found Ransom holding a sha- key 8-0 lead. It turned out to be enough as the Dolphin offense again was slowed by fumbles in the second half. A Raider score pushed the lead to 14-0. The Dolphins averted a shutout when, with 2:36 left, Wes Potter plunged one yard to end a 62-yard drive. The Time: Saturday, Sep- tember 25, 1976, 4:00 p.m. The Place: LaSalle High in Miami. The Mission: To upend a favored Royal football squad. The mission was fur- ther complicated by hoards of screaming fans, air horns, and posters galore. Almost before the introductions were com- pleted, LaSalle quarterback Bill St. Pierre streaked 70 yards for the initial score. A 32-yard field goal upped the tally and at naiftime, the score stood at 10-0. After a scoreless third quarter, an 84- yard Dolphin drive concluded with a one yard Wes Potter plunge and a Steve Riker con- version pass making the score a tense 10-8. But just as it had in the first quarter, lightning struck again when LaSalle's All-Conference running back, Tim Brown, went 70 yards to score. Forced to pass, Mara- thon fell victim to a fumble deep in their own territory leading to the third and final Royal touchdown. The record now stood at 1-2 with an undefeated Westminister War- rior team coming to town. I About to settle into Steve Riker's arms is the conversion that pulled Marathon within a 2 point margin with Lasalle. Quick-opening dives to Wes Potter proved to be Dolphin's most successful offensive play. Knocked off his feet by two Raider defenders. Sam Joiner got 8 of his 109 yards the hard way. Returning a kick-on, or. Billy Benner is given a ride on the Royal express. Impending doom, disguised as a Lasalle foot- ball player, threatens quarterback Brett Elwell. As if frozen in time awaiting eager hands, a Sam Joiner fumble hangs in space during the Ransom game. 178 Vorsity Football Pati of Qeaso Ends. The big Keeney Meany defense causes uncontrollable grief by stopping a Westminster touch- down on fourth down. Although he was outnumbered by Belen defenders, Junior Jody Hogan was able to slip by with 50 total yards. The previous week's defeat put Marathon in a hole as the highly favored Westminister Warriors attempted to sweep up. The initial Kickoff showed that the task would not be an easy one as Steve Riker sacked kick returner Ellis Shanks unmercifully. Westminister connected with an apparent touchdown pass only to be denied by Brett Elwell's bril- liant defensive play. Not until late in the second quarter did the stymied Warriors score; the result of a long pass com- pletion and short ground gain. The contest tightened up in the third quarter when Jody Hogan scored for the Dolphins but Westminister once more came back, this time with a 45-yard field goal making the score 9-6. And there it stood until the final gun making the Dolphins the losers for the third straight time. Marathon was now due for a break in their schedule. Unfortunately, the Wolverines of Belen found themselves the unlucky targets for the Dolphins. A dimly lit field complete with police dogs and a public address announcer with no manners, reminded the visiting Dolphins of a prison. From the outset, the game was marred by numerous penalties, poorly executed plays, and enougn turnovers to start a bakery. Still the Dolphins managed to get over 200 yards with touch- downs coming from Sam Joiner, Jody Hogan, and Wil- lie Mills. Defensively, the Dolphins had no trouble con- taining a Wolverine offense that spent most of its time playing keep-away from the ball. Led by defensive end Howie Grimm’s (later named to Miami Weekly's All-Star team) 13 tackles, 2 sacks, and a fumble recovery, the Dol- phins held Belen to -39 total yards.

Homecoming week was a week of work, no sleep, and memories. Students roamed the halls in blue and white outfits, halloween costumes, and even backwards. Every night for most people was a night to work on their class floats until 11 or 12 o’clock. Teachers weren’t surprised when nobody came to school with their homework finished or they looked up to find someone sleeping. Friday, at 6 a.m. students could be found frantically decorating their class’s hall under the headlights of cars; at 12:30 a pep rally was held followed by a parade that afternoon down the center of town. The foundation of Marathon High spirit is the Dolphin cheerleaders who pour that feeling of excitement and love of Dolphins into everyone’s heart. Burning ihe Mariners helped to keep that Dolphin spirit burning too. Spirit, a term well known by M.H.S. was snown in all ways: Halloween Day, the mighty Srs., or the crowd at the football game.

Each one had been chosen by the student body to be there, smiling at the stadium full of friends and strangers and keeping a close eye on Mrs. Gradick who held the crown and sash. Then in a few moments that seemed to them a thousand, Mr. Howell Grimm and Ms. Vicki Baldwin were given the honorary title of 1976-77 Marathon High School Homecoming Queen and King. 1 84 Homecoming King Queen Homecoming Comes Complete With Victory A quick-hitting dive pul Senior Sam Joiner by the Mary Immaculate defense and on his way to a 37-yard TD before the Mariners knew what hit them. What’s a Homecoming without an opponent that hits hard, keeps the crowd thrilled but still loses? Mary Immaculate turned out to be just what the Dolphins needed. Although only an A school, the Mariners showed a talent for hitting hard (football coaches call it stick- ing ). It turned out to be one of the few times all season that Marathon was larger than its adversary. From the first quarter on, it became apparent that it was only a matter of time before the sledge-hammer Dolphin offense wore down the Mary Immaculate defense. Yet, while relying all year on the three yards and a cloud of dust, it was the big play that netted Marathon most of its points. A 42-yard run by Chris Windberg, a 29-yard Willie Mills to Windberg pass, another pass from Mills, this one for 65 yards to Steve Riker and a 37-yard Sam Joiner jaunt left the Mariners stunned and the Dolphins with a 4-3 record. Turning the coiner proved to be profitable for the Dolphins all night as Jody Hogan tries to avoid Mary Immaculate's standout line- backer, Donald Fletchall. About to haul in the one-and-only touchdown pass of his Illustrious career, a 29-yard toss from Willie Mills, is defensive star. Chris Windberg. Varsity Football 185 Marathon’s speed too often proved to be a little better than the Hurricane’s as Dol phin running backs easily sweep the comers. CENTER: An intense pass rush by Defensive End Willie Mills caused many Coral Shores passes to go astray. The topsy-turvy world of a running back isn't always as glamorous as Jody Hogan is about to find out. And in This Comer. . . 1 86 With several near-fights, a few player ejections and a lot of talking between each of the two teams, this year's version of the most hotly-contested rivalry in the Keys, that between Coral Shores and Marathon lived up to its advance billing as a hard-hit- ting, ''nasty” ballgame. Even though the 'Canes were having their troubles, you could, as the TV sportscasters say, Forget every- thing that's happened before - this is the big one for both teams!” Marathon, relying on its punishing ground game, moved the ball well but came away with only six points (on Brett Elwell’s timely quarterback sneak) at the halftime intermission. Coral Shores, finding it impossible to run through the Dolphin defense, resorted to a shotgun formation and tricky short passes. With a small amount of success, the 'Canes moved the ball only to fall victim to turnovers which eventually led to more Dolphin scores and a 24- 0 Marathon victory. Vorsity Fi !o Close Yet So Far A diving knee-high tackle by Cornerback Ross Hilliard couldn't prevent Dade Christian from scoring a touchdown in 46-16 Dolphin victory. OtJ u juistli. VJSuS L-iwaUUai Junior fullback Wes Potter always required more than one defender to bring him down. Hoping to end the season with more wins than any other team before it (which meant finishing the sched- ule with two victories), the Dolphins played their final home game against the Crusader’s of Dade Chris- tian. At the start, it looked as if both teams left their defenses at home. A quick Dolphin touchdown was matched with a twisting 70-yard Dade Christian run on a reverse. Marathon, not to be outdone, came right back and by the half, held an impressive 32-8 lead. It took a program to keep track of who scored as Sam Joiner, Jody Hogan, Wes Potter and Willie Mills each contributed to the Dolphin's scoring. As the weather turned rainier and colder in the second half, the Marathon squad substi- tuted freely and the scoring slowed down until it stood at 46-16 at the final gun. It's too bad they couldn't have saved some of those points for the Pine Crest game. As always, the long trip to Ft. Lauderdale tends to tie up muscles and dull the competitive edge. As if that weren't enough of a ■ disadvantage, Marathon m lost several key linemen due to grades and injuries and was forced to use untried sophomores in their places. It didn't work against the awesome Pan- ther front line and their 250-lb fullback. A quick 35-yard TD run and a costly fumble deep in their own territory put the Dolphins down by 16 points early and from then on it was all downhill as several more Marathon players fell vic- tim of injury and as the clock ticked down the final seconds, dreams of a record number of wins faded. Varsity Football 1 87 Over. . . and Over. . . and Over. . . and C Anyone who's ever been a foot- ball player or the neglected girl- friend of one knows how a player's free-time is spent. Practice occu- pies every weekday from 3:00 to 4:30 or 5, (sometimes longer) and it consists mainly of calisthenics (exercises where one twists his body in all sorts of peculiar ways), gas- sers (sprinting 4 times the length of the field), agilities (running through tires, knocking big sleds” all around), running through plays and to end it all, running a mile in under 6 minutes. If a player is late for practice he has to run and run and run, unless it’s the 4th time, then he's off the team. It’s obvious these efforts didn’t go to waste. Calisthenics play an important pan in warm- ups by keeping muscles stretched. Trying to quickly put your feet in and out of those tiny tires can sometimes be rather diffi- cult and takes concentration. A center’s view of the game is often upside- down - Howie Grimm delivers the ball to Ross Hilliard before the Coral Shores Jamboree. 1 88 Varsity Football Broken bones and pulled muscles can some- times remove a player from a game or the season as Greg Konrath demonstrates.

Dear Mom, Well, we made it! After spending seven months washing untold cars and vans, putting on dances and just plain scroung- ing money, we left for the Big Apple - New York. The lux- urious Statler Hilton was our last stop before landing in exotic Poland! On arriving in Warsaw, we immediately searched for post cards to send home so they would get home before we did. A luxurious Mercedes Bus was our transpor- tation throughout the trip. Our driver, nicknamed A.J. (for obvious reasons), drove the mountain roads like he was in the Indi-SOO! I’ll never com- plain about your cooking again! I mean how many ways can you make potatoes and bread. Our main source of food was Pepski and we drank enough to float a ship. Castles and gothic cathedrals over 800 years old give this place an atmosphere like Disney World. From our experiences, I'd say about 90% of the Polish jokes are true. It seems every piece of machinery is already broken or ready to break. We spend more time in stuck elevators than in our rooms. Some of our escapades include visiting a Polish bee farm, a freezing cold lake resort, and the famous Warsaw Zoo (there wasn’t much to see because the duck died). A highlight of the trip was visiting Aushcwitz, the World War II concentration camp. All of us were affected with a sense of disbelief while learning of the atrocities that took place. Besides sight-seeing, we attempted to play basketball. Our first game was against a bunch of high school kids - it was the first time I ever saw a wife and kids yell for their daddy to stuff my shot! For money we changed dollars to zlotis on the Black Market. It’s not as bad as you think. If caught it’s only a one way trip to Siberia! After three weeks we are all anxious to get home. Poland is certainly beautiful and the trip has been full of great times. We all got something out of it - well worth the effort to make a crazy idea into a once in a life time adventure.

That was only the start of Coach Jim Sikora's first practice sesson. An untold number of drills came next as the Dolphins learned how to block out, shoot and dribble. They also learned with out teamwork It wouldn’t matter how good they were. With only 10 days after the last football game to get ready, some of the gridiron players found it hard to adjust from one sport to another. After a few too many fouls they all settled into the ’’basketball” rou- tine. The season opening Early Bird Tournament gave Coacn Sikora a good chance to see who could do what. Displaying a new style of basketball, featuring a well coor- dinated fast break and aggressive defense, Marathon easily defeated Atlantic Christian on opening night and came back the next day to out-battle a much bigger Mary Immaculate team for the Champi- onship. Ken Kulig and Nate Kitchen rest after sprints Coach Sikora makes them do. Vorsity Basketball 191 Ai ihe Beginning With the added confidence that win- ning a tournament will give, the Dol- phins looked forward to their regular season opener at home against the Roy- als of La Salle. Confidence wasn't enough however as the Royals continually out-rebounded and out-hustled a listless Marathon quintet. A Satur- day morning practice shook the Dolphins up as they played up to their expected potential against a state-ranked Miami Christian team the next evening. With a special defense devised by Coach Sikora especially for the Victors, Marathon was able to keep the taller visitors from getting the ball underneath for easy buckets. The game wasn't decided until the final seven seconds when Jerry Culver sank the front end of a one-on-one to tie the contest at 45 all. His bonus shot looked as though it had eyes, as it bounced off the back edge of the rim right back to Culver's hand.

It was not to be however as the Raiders, with the outside shooting of Jim Simkins the key, pulled even in regulation and finally took home the victory by seven points. It was a disappointing loss, one that shouldn't have slipped away and as 1976 came to a close, the Dolphins hoped the bitter taste of defeat would soon be sweetened. The new year began as the old year ended; on the road. It's a long way to the spacious Pine Crest gym - a journey that does its best to dull the competitive edge a team should have. This, coupled with a week of no practices over Christmas vacation accounted for the Dolphins super stale performance, a 48 point humiliation at the hands of the Panthers. With every reason in the book for being down the next night against fourth-ranked Belen of Miami, the Marathon five refused to let themselves get down and proceeded to turn the highly favored Wolve- rines every way but loose. A nine-point half-time lead at home should be good enough for a victory but the physically intimidating Belen roundballers showed why they were state-ranked as they outscored the Dolphins 21-7 in the third quarter and then coasted to a 60-52 win.

It was nice while it lasted but on a cold windy night in Christopher Columbus high school gym in Miami, a team that had already fallen gained revenge. Miami Christian, who had been beaten earlier by 2 points, showed no mercy as they totally domi- nated the cold shooting (like the weather) Dolphins. Marathon turned the tables the following Tuesday as they again traveled to Miami and almost doubled the point total scored by Atlantic Christian in a 67-37 victory. Spending just enough time at home to pick up their mail and eat, the Dolphins made the by-now familiar trek to Miami that same weekend for an overnight trip filled with pillow fights, popcorn eating, soda drinking and two basketball games. On Friday night, both LaSalle and Marathon put on an offensive show in an 80-72 Dol- phin defeat. 194 Vorsity Basketball It sometimes takes more than timing. Jerry Culver fights a Ransom Raider for a rebound that took a wierd bounce. A poor half of basketball against Ransom caused Coach Sikora to deliver a tongue-lashing to the Dolphins in general and Steve Riker in particular. Villi’: Thanks to Coach Sikora's patience and his own long hours of practice, Jerry Culver developed an accu- rate outside shot. After a night of restful sleep, it was on to Deerfield Beach Senior High for a game with St. Andrews. There was one minor problem however; everything in sight was locked up tight. With some Professional” tactics probably not learned in school, both teams gained entry. It took further work by Steve Riker (to liberate the controls for the clock) and Pat Bluett, Ken Kulig, Karl Bodker and Jim Hanlon (to sweep the floor) before the Dolphins could polish (no Coach; that's got nothing to do with Poland!) off the Scots for the second time. The year's shortest month and the beginning of the road to district started with a visit by the Ransom Raiders. Known for their delaying tactics when they gained the lead, Marathon tried to force the Raiders into mistakes with a tight man-to-man defense. It just wasn't tight enough as no one could stay close to Ransom's leading scorers, Andy Sneider and Jim Simkins, who scored 47 of their team's points in the 73-63 Dol- phin defeat. Hey Coach! If's Locked! Vorsity Basketball 195 The prospects for a victory the following weekend didn't look any better as the two powerhouses of the Gulfs- tream Conference, Pine Crest and Belen, were scheduled back-to-back. But things aren't always what they seem. Still smarting from the 48-point annihilation earlier in the year. Marathon played inspired basketball to put the Panthers away, 54-43. Excelling in every phase of the game and putting four players in double figures (led by Leroy Pookie” Williams’ fourteen points - five in the crucial closing minutes), the Dolphins showed that they could play basketball with the big boys. However Belen is not your normal big boy Team. Sporting a 16-1 record, the Wolverines brought Marathon back down to earth the next night by a 52-37 count. The Dolphins kept the school's unbeaten streak over Coral Shores intact with an 80-64 shellacking and things began to look up. Senior Ken Kulig gives the ball a little Dol- phin Magic.

With four games left before district and all being against teams that Marathon had already knocked off, it began to look as though the roundballers would reach their peak at just the right time. What wasn't counted on was a rash of nagging injuries and the mighty flu bug. Westminster was first to extract revenge with a 73-65 victory. While injuries and the flu still were not at full strength, the home-court advantage (in the person of unfriendly officials) proved to be more than the Dolphins could handle. The next night, Marathon went down the road for the only time to face the Mary Immaculate Mariners and their 6'8 center, John Weiffenbach. Way back in the first week of the season in the Early Bird Tournament, Marathon had done an excellent job of blocking out, fronting and generally frustrating the talented big man but it was not to happen again. Playing with intense desire, Weiffen- bach accounted for thirty-three of his team's 55 points and the Dolphins had tasted defeat for the second time in twenty-four hours. In addition, Senior Jerry Culver was limping with a bad ankle sprain, Nate Kitchen was seeing double after catching a finger in the eye and the flu bug was in complete control. Senior Jerry Culver thrilled the fans all season by cleaning the boards from up around the rim.

All-Conference Possession of the ball is all important in a close game. Mike Boulton fights a LaSalle Royal for it as Steve Riken and Nate Kitchon look on. Basketball seasons are really broken into two parts. First comes twenty-some games to determine conference championships, polish your timing and generally kill the two and one-half months after football gets over. The really imponant season starts with what is called the District Tournament; eight teams in search of one goal, a district championship which will allow them to advance one step closer to STATE. Since all the teams in District 16AA were also members of the Gulf Stream Athletic Conference, each team had a fairly good idea of how it stood. Marathon drew as its first round opponent the Royals of LaSalle - a team which had beaten them twice before by scores of 69-54 and 80-72. Couple this with a week of practices that were only half-attended due to illness and the stage is set for disappointment. After three quarters, things held true to form as Marathon trailed 48-34. There were still eight minutes of basketball left and the Dolphins used every bit of that to their advantage. With Steve Riker, Mike Boulton, Nate Kitchen and Ken Kulig working hard, the gap closed in the final seconds to just two points. It's just too bad that there were only eight minutes left because with the game now within reach, the clock ticked off its last seconds - Time was gone and with it the Dolphin's hopes of continuing the season. At 8:44 p.m., in the Miami-Killian High School gym, the 1976-77 Marathon High Dolphin Varsity Basketball Season ended with a 63-61 heartbreaking loss to Immaculata- LaSalle High School of Miami. It was a disappointing way to end a season that showed Marathon fans a new brand of basketball but while the players might change, the game will remain the same and there’s always the cry Wait 'til next year!” Varsity Basketball 1 99 sophomore, guard ('US Future varsity Irons f' Outjumping a Belen Wolverine, T.B shoots for a Dolphin basket.

The reason for this was the new testing drills used to pick the varsity team, such as throwing baseballs into tires standing 40 feet away. It also included other various drills. You should try the tire drill sometime, once you finish it you will know why the team started early. Probably one of the high- lights of this year’s team was their new uniforms which were proudly shown-off at a few of the pre-season games. The auto- matic pitching machine which every now and then would throw two pitches at the same time kept people on their toes. This made it very difficult for the batter to hit but it kept them alert. But for the most part the team won or lost as a whole. 204 Vorsity Baseball John Robinson proves the theory that what A behind the backstop look at pre-game goes must come down. batting practice.

Varsity Baseball 205 Who's on First In order to tune-up for their con- ference opener on March 1, the Varsity baseball team played three non-conference games beginning in early February. The first two, against Coral Shores, gave the coaching staff a chance to see who could do what as everybody played. The following week with the starters pretty well established, the Dol- phins trotted out in their new uni- forms but lost again to the Hurri- canes. With just four days before the important GAC opener, Mara- thon ventured into Key West for it's final tune-up. It was a disaster as the Dolphin infield fell apart at several crucial situations. Would that be a sign at things to come? Only time would tell. Coming into score for Marathon, Jim Bair crosses the plate while a Key West catcher awaits the throw from outfield. Stroking with a perfect stride, Jody Hogan (10) bats against a fast Key West pitcher. Bob Chiavacci decides to put the Key West infield to work.

Shores. It's Never Too Late The Dolphins started out their conference schedule with Dade Chris- tian at home. Nerves were still jumping as the Crusaders pushed across a run with the help of an error. From this point on, both pitchers (Chris Miller for Dade and Willie Mills for Marathon) had complete control until the Marathon seventh. Still hitless with only two outs remaining, Mills beat out an infield single and took second on a passed ball. A rou- tine grounder to second seemed to spell doom for the Dolphins but speedy Jody Hogan beat it out putting runners at the corners. After Hogan stole second, Sam Joiner bounced a ground ball to first sending Mills across with the tying run. Seconds later, Jim Bair singled to right and the Dolphins had squeezed through with a 2-1 victory. Willie Mills takes a long look at the signals before making his decision.

Varsity Baseball ■' 207 Hard Work Big Hopes Many say that of all the sports, baseball is the most complicated to learn. While it seems so easy, (just throw, catch and hit a ball), there is really an infinite number of things to remember. For instance, suppose there's a man on first and the coach tells you to bunt, (which in itself is a little complicated - Coaches don't just yell things out; they use signals but more on that later), where do you bunt the ball? How about this: your team is tied with the other team and it's their last bat. Now there's a man on third and only one out. If you're an outfielder, where do you play? Are you beginning to get the picture? And signals - what a treat! The next time you watch a baseball game, take a peek at the coach standing by third base. At times it looks like he's got a real bad itch all over his body but really he’s trying to tell his players to do something. Like if he touches his belt it could mean bunt. Or it might not if he did something else before that. With all these things to learn (and a lot more) before they play Varsity, it's no wonder the J.V. Baseball team looks a little ragged at times. But it's also a valuable and necessary program for those who hope to wear a Varsity uniform in the future. 208 Junior Varsity Baseball Stealing bases is a tricky business, second baseman. Pete Schrader shows why. So much relies on the pitcher, whether the ball gets back to first base before the runner leading off. or whether he throws a wild pitch and a runner scores, or even how the batter hits his pitch. Craig Rabito tries his best to fool a Coral Shores batter. 1977 Marathon J.V. Baseball Team: SITTING: (Left to Right) Jack Murray. Tammy Banks. Ann Shearer. Renee Schlegel, Missy Skeen, (batgirls).

Long practices, learning how to bump, serve, and volley seemed to go for nothing as the girls dropped five of their first six matches. But, dedication paid off in a season-ending win- ning streak including an upset over Notre Dame in Miami. Then it was on to Districts. Held at Coral Park, The Big Figs reversed the tables on West- minster, a team that had earlier defeated them at home.

The judges were coaches from each team in the district and the honors went to Senior Laura Riker and Junior Linda (Herbie) Hen. Linda was a team member of last year's team and plans on playing her Senior year also. One of Herbie's favorite imitations was that of a wild woman (usually observed anytime she made a mistake, no matter how trivial). She usually got quite confused by the referee's calls but one could always depend on Herb to keep up the rowdiness and start a few kill cheers. Graduating this year is Laura Riker. She played last year also and was a captain of the team both years. Laura terrified opponents by spiking ruthlessly and blocking courageously at the net. She also was really good at making the cute guys in the crowd at home by staring at them. Laura thought of the famous cheer Beam 'Em, Beat 'Em, KILL!

There are so many little but impor- tant things that are pushed back to second-best once softball season rolls around - softball comes first ... All the sunny afternoons spent practicing while the suntan oil, beach towel and radio are at home crying for com- pany . . . softball comes first.

Why sacrifice so much? Well the good times aren’t so few either ... no one will ever forget the rat at McDonalds or the nutty outfielder on the bike who liked to help Linda Skeen. Everyone gets a chance to make a fantastic play that really swells the ego ... the line-drive snagged, the risky runner thrown out, the triple just when it was needed . . . it’s really a good feeling. Of course all this running, throwing and moving isn’t too bad for the diet either (every little bit helps). The challenge of the whole season makes things exciting.

As all runners know, the basic fundamentals to baton exchanges, starts from the block, and pace setting had to be per- fected . Most of the boys had never seen a shotput or a hurdle! But that didn’t discourage the Dolphins as they travelled along with the girls to Westminster for the first outing of the 1977 track season! Outstanding individual efforts by Gus Marsuli gave the sophomore a fourth in the high jump. The fact that he had never attempted this event, and was used as a last minute entry, helped spur the Dolphins on. Shotputter Jim Ste- wert, with heavy competition, managed fifth place.

Well, they’ve just finished their season but I know they'd like to play another game. Oh, you’ve heard that they finished undefeated and you'd like to try and spoil that. Well, did they tell you they weren't even scored on. No, huh - well they weren't. In fact the defense, led by linebacker Adair Hendrix and headhunter Paul Hayes usually held the other team to minus yardage. Our offense? Really it's pretty basic - we just use Robert Sawyer, John Barsug- lia and Ed Kitchen to run over and around you. Why of course they can't do it by themselves; it s really the big offensive line that makes them go. Now, when did you say you wanted to play? What do you mean, Next year. BOTTOM.

With no organized league, there is also no recognition for the top team except for the pride of the team involved and that's enough when you have only one game left in order to stay undefeated. Nerves were strained to the breaking point as both teams seemed to avoid making the big mistake that could lead to defeat. Both defenses domi- nated and as the final seconds ticked off, it looked as though it would be necessary to go to sudden death to decide a winner. With just seven seconds left, Marathon got a huge break when John Barsuglia scooped up an obvious incomplete pass on the 14-yard line. With time for one more play, the ever-present Barsuglia skipped into the right cor- ner of the endzone, giving the Dol- phins a 6-0 victory and the unoffi- cial Jr. High championship. Soaring the ball into the sky past the attempted block of a Gold Coast defender, Manola Miranda (15) tries to hit one of his receiv- Manola Miranda (15) attempts to add to A pack of Dolphins including John Sawyer (31), John Barsuglia (17) and Manola Miranda (15) the scoreboard before halftime. lead Ed Kitchen (20 downfield through a non-existent Gold Cc ) line. Junior High Football 221 Dade Christian Gets Washed Out It looked as though it was going to be a swimming match instead of a football game for the Junior High Homecoming, but as the sky cleared, the game started with the Dolphins driving their way to victory. Dade Christian received the kick-off, but failed to gain any ground against the tight defensive line of the Dol- phins. Not much could be said for the offensive team, although it did the job. It seemed there were more fumbles than comple- tions, making the game much more exciting. It just so hap- pened that one of the Marathon fumbles turned out well when John Barsuglia scooped up the ball and ran for a 52-yard touch- down putting Marathon in the lead 6-0. That was the one and only score of the game and it gave the Junior High Dolphins a Homecoming victory. A picture-perfect tackle by middle linebacker Adair Hendrix (88) put a scornful look on the face of a Dade Christian center. Tiptoeing down the sideline. John Barsuglia (47) is helped along by Coach Chip Gerlock and Edward Kitchen attempts a juggling act while the rest of the Dolphin gang. trying to find the handle of the football. 222 Junior High Football 1976 Junior High Homecom- ing Queen was Miss Toni Regna. Toni was a member of the eighth grade, and has been a cheerleader for two years. She also enjoys track and field, and was a member of the Junior High Student Coun- cil. Junior High Homecoming King honors went to Adair Hendrix. Adair, an eighth grader, enjoys all sports, especially football - he also likes to sneak in a few hours of fishing or waterskiing when he's not helping his dad. One of Adair's favorite teachers is Coach King, because, he said, He teaches me a few tricks about football.' ’ m Kim Houser with escort Josh Houser.

Rather than seeing the organized patterns present on the varsity level, you are liable to see a large group of ten players chasing around a ball. Well, not so this year as Coach Gerlock continued his golden touch and turned the Jr. High program into a winner. Continuing his undefeated streak from football, the Jr. High roundballers started out with two victories. It was then however, that defeat reared its ugly head. Playing against the eventual league champion, Pine Crest, the Baby Dolphins dropped a nine-point decision, 34-25. It didn't take long to square things back up though as, with some excellent fastbreak basketball and accurate outside shooting, Marathon swept through it's next three opponents for a five-one record. Yet, while things were going smooth, a problem arose. Start- ing center Steve Lowry was lost to grades thus hindering the Dol- phin's rebounding. And as if this was not bad enough, it was time to play the three toughest teams on the schedule: Belen, Deer- borne and St. Theresa's. Belen, whose varsity was to go on to regionals, nipped the Baby Dol- phins by two with a buzzer bas- ket. Deerborne, a basketball school if ever there was one, was much bigger than Marathon but needed a last minute shot and a charity toss to win. The season finale against St. Theresa's was a tough game emotionally for the Jr. High but they came through with flying colors. St. There- sa's, who had played a forty-one game schedule, was easily han- dled as Coach Gerlock cleared the bench early and coasted to a 47-35 victory. With this, the Baby Dolphins closed the books on a 6-3 season and could look forward to more years on the hardcourt. The Team Roster Included: (Eighth Grad- ers) Adair Hendrix.

A stopwatch, bandages, footballs, whistles, equipment, arguments with refs and with players, and . . . friendship. That special feeling you have about a coach, someone who only wants the best for you and your school. Don't forget the extra little things like free taxi service, a little help when you get yourself in a jam, and the advice with problems. A coach Coach Sympson gathers the team on the mound to discuss some strategy. has to be a special person to suc- ceed. M.H.S. has quite a few suc- cessful coaches and these two pages are to recognize and say thank you for what they do. And what they do is: Coach Jim Keeney - Head Football Coach, Bill Merritt - Assistant Football Coach, Ms. Mary Maloney - Girl's Volleyball, Soft- ball, and Track, Mr. Chip Gerlock - Jr. High Football, Basketball, and Sr. High Track, Coach Bill Symp- son - Assistant Football and Assist- ant Baseball, Mr. Jim Sikora - Var- sity Basketball, Coach Bo Johnston - J.V.

For instance, to those who have been at Marathon High for all twenty years it has been in existence, it may seem to have gone by quickly. Yet, for those who attend MHS today, twenty years ago is history - a time when there were no manned spacecraft, very few, if any, color television sets, a time when slide rules were used instead of calculators to solve complicated math problems or to impress your fellow stu- dents and food prices were just UNBE- LIEVABLE!! And, as with everything else, the cost of yearbook publication has risen sky high. In 1957, it cost under $1,000 to produce the sixty-six page inaugural yearbook at MHS. This 20th edition you now hold in your hands is one of 500 copies that cost over $10,000 to produce. Since that breaks down to $20 per book - much to steep a price for the individual student to pay -it becomes apparent how ipor- tant the support of the business com- munity becomes. This year, over $5,000 worth of advertising helped make this book a reality. In this day of high prices and, at times, questiona- ble service, it is refreshing to know that there are still merchants who retain that small-town” spirit - a feeling of responsibility for all that occurs in the community. We, the Shoreline Staff of 1977, would like to thank each and every advertiser and extend an invitation to our readers to patronize these civic-minded estab- lishments whenever possible. 230 Community $75000 Down MOVE RIGHT IN PAYMENTS S7S P r Month Completely Fornith Twenty years ago, houses were a lot less expensive and so were the payments. «ARATH0N STATE BANK Serving tht florido Key, A COMPLETE BANKING SEBVICE fOB YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 2 o PAID ON SAVINGS TW ,1.1.

The days disappear one by one, until the very last day has come and another group of my friends has gone. When it’s all over, I hope you’ll remember . . . late nights working until four in the morning just to finish the Homecoming float . . . beach parties on warm, lazy, idle afternoons . . . writing Mrs. Arena's research paper at two-thirty a.m. (the day it was due) . . . the days and days she spent waiting and wishing that he would ask her to the Prom, and how happy she was when he finally did! . . . long, long trips to Miami for games . . . millions and millions:of excuses invented to explain why they were late getting back from lunch . . . remember9 I can recall the first graduating class of Marathon High; it wasn't much different from this year’s senior class. Another year gone by . . .it was a very good year. It was a time that you will probably remember as the best years of your life. It was a time that will never be again. You have seen the last of detention slips, the last of high school dances, the last of pep rallies. The best years of your life . . .are they really gone? This year launches a new century. President Carter and his new administration have entered the White House. Anxiously we await the future. There’s so much to be done . . . applications, admission, college, graduation, profession . . . your entire life is ahead of you and there's so much to look forward to. Hopefully and impatiently you wait for life to begin, always working toward the perfect life - the happy ending. You believe that an imponant part of your life is past and the rest is yet to come. You sit and remember things that have happened in the past - important dates in your life - and you go on wishing, waiting, hoping . . . wondering what life will bring you in the future, knowing that one day your life will really mean something. Then suddenly, you discover that whatever it is you will have in life, you've already got, right there. You can live life in a year: you can live life in a day; you can live life in a moment. So even as life has many moments, it also has many happy endings. A new friend made is a happy ending; a quarrel ended is a happy ending; a job well done is a happy ending. Every moment you live is either making or marring your life. In twenty years I have learned that much. Your life is not the good times that are past - they are behind you. Your life is not in the future - that is ahead of you. Your life is here . . . Your life is now . . . Your life is .V4 Closing To A This is the classical Editor’s Page where the Editor is supposed to thank everyone and leave the school with words of wisdom. I shall follow this tradition and convey my thanks, but the words of wisdom will not be my own. They were written by Max Ehrman in 1927, fifty years ago, and they express a code of life 1 TRY to live by, and that 1 think others would find comfort in. So . . . My greatest thanks go to Mr. Bruce King, for his confidence in me, and that confidence, I think is what a friend is. You're a great guy, Coachie, and words cannot express the fondness I have for you . . . To my delightful friend, Avis Casenelli, who was an excellent Assistant Editor, and who. I'm sure, will be an excellent Editor . . . To my hard-working staff that produced this book - I am as proud of you as I am of it and I wish you well on next year’s SHORELINE . . . To the first man who EVER made me feel petite, all 6'10 of Mr. Jim Zinn, my dear friend and our advisor from Taylor Publishing Company - for all his help and guidance in the two years I’ve known him . . . To my parents for their patience and their love through this past year and the sixteen that came before it And to all those of you who helped us all out on the book and to the rest of you whom this yearbook touches, this is DESIDERATA Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations of the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and what- ever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. MAX EHRMANN 1 1927 by Max Ehrmann All rights reserved.
