But most of all, the staff has striven to incorporate within these pages the characteristic spirit of the young men and women tvho in nineteen-thirty-eight and thirty-nine have walked icithin these hallowed halls and dreamed glamorously of the past and the future. As they go forth from these portals of learning, may they always prove worthy of the noble precepts which have been their heritage. lU. 1 93 9 OLVmPIAn k To Mary Ellen Smith, tvho for the last fourteen years has so faithfully and efficiently served Marietta High, uho has, through her tireless effort, been an influence for good on the campus, tvho has sought to maintain at a high level the reputation of M. H. S., and who has been looked upon by the students as a friend tvho saw two points of view and worked from them towards the best interests of our school, this the thirteenth volume of the Olympian is dedicated. t c9 l o niAftlETTA HIGH Oontents Book I . - - .

Class Histor y In September, 1935, we, a group of excited Junior High students, gathered at Marietta High School. We spent our first year getting accustomed to the new school, new way of teaching, and the Honorable Upper Classmen. We were led by Charles DeFoor, Ray Kemp, and W. C. Sockwell. In sports we were represented by Anne Tomlinson, Nellie Mae Frey, Hene Scheaffer, Monterey Dowda, Nancy Crowe, Mary Emily Claiborne, Doyle Dickerson, Elgin Mitchell, Howard Butler, and James Cordell. During this year our class with all its talent won the Stunt Night. As sophomores we were led by Anne Tomlinson, Howard Butler, and James Millar. As a class we not only made good records in sports but in scholastic work also. At the end of this year two of our teachers who had helped us in our struggles left M. H. S. — Miss Faith Porch and Miss Edna Taylor. Monterey Dowda, Ralph Marler, and Hene Scheaffer were Class presidents our junior year. At the beginning of this year, thirty-one new students entered our class, and five new teachers were added to our faculty — Miss Ira Irby, Miss Maxalynn Mourane, Miss Martha Pinson, Mr. R. A. Tipton, and Mr. J. R. Timmerman. The Pitchfork staff was elected and went to the meeting of the Georgia Scholastic Press Association at Athens, Georgia. As juniors we were given a chance to show our ability as entertainers by giving the seniors a banquet. The banquet was a real success and was enjoyed by everyone. Miss Nellie Dykes, our Home Economics teacher, and Mr. Watkins left at the end of this year. September, 1938, we started our last year as high school students. Our class officers were Payton Hill, Herman Howard, Ralph Marler, and Harry Hames. At the beginning of this year Miss Nelle Legwen, Miss Mary Lillian Murphey, Miss Mildred Sessions, Mr. C. H. Quarterman, Mr. J. R. Callison, and Mr. E. D. Covington were added to our faculty. We have enjoyed with great pleasure this year the music of our newly organized band and our orchestra. We have also enjoyed our trip to the state capitol and the White Provision Company, the presentation of our Senior play, and the moving pictures which have been shown in chapel. In sports we were represented this year by Eddie Lay, Arthur Bacon, B. F. McLemore, Earl Caldwell, Max Parnell, Herman Howard, and many of our former sportsmen. The Pitchfork staff went to Athens again this year and was awarded a Certificate of Distinction. Our Annual is a priceless treasure to us, and we are all deeply indebted to Mr. Tipton who has so willingly given his time and ability to make our Annual a success. Our honor graduates are Catherine Burton, Sarah Power, Ed Groover, Mary Emily Claiborne, Bertha Bell Moore, and Gladys Lawrence. As Seniors of ' 39 we have climbed to the height of our High School days. Although we are happy, there is a feeling of sorrow which is quite sincere. As a class we have shared in all branches of school life. High School days are our happiest days, where fondest memories will linger forever. Last Will and Testament State of Accomplishment County op Willingness City of Fortitude We, the Senior Class of the aforesaid city, county, and state, having endured the necessary amount of studying and mental ditch-digging and having dished out the usual amount of hardships to long-suffering teachers, are now forced to make public this, our last will and testament. Item One: To all the Junior boys we leave Mr. Tipton and hope that he will be as pleasant in the future as he has been in the midst of our paper- throwing, desk-carving, and whistling. To the Junior girls we as hopefully bequeath Miss Irby. Item Two: To the entire Junior Class we cheerfully leave the seats of honor in chapel; our position in line; the task of publishing the best Olympian, Pitchforks, and Scroll possible; the privilege of making various trips and getting out of school a week early in May; and the problem of raising money for the Senior Dance. Item Three: To Miss Irby, to show their immense appreciation, the mem- bers of the Pitchfork staff willingly leave all honors that they have received in the past year through the publication of the paper. She has worked well, willingly, and cheerfully. Item Four: Coach Hollis lovingly hands over his history books to a new faculty members, as he takes up his duties as instructor in physical education. Item Five: Jack Duncan, who has shown his merit by ringing the bell too early when time was needed for a test and by ringing it late when classes were dragging, bequeaths his post to a worthy Junior with an accurate watch. Item Six: Elgin Mitchell wills his baseball ability and enthusiasm to Dick Watkins, while Wimpy Howard, B. F. McLemore, Arthur Bacon, and Earl Caldwell will their love of sports to Stanley Hunter, Bill Healy, Jack Plage and Billy McBrayer. Item Seven: Ilene Scheaffer, Nancy Crowe, Mary Emily Claiborne, Monterey Dowda, and Anne Tomlinson have decided to keep their basketball ability for use in college; but to show their unselfishness, they have decided to let Lillian Tomlinson, Charlotte Coyle, Mary Brawner, Katherine Greer, and Vivian Jay imitate their unerring skill. Item Eight: Catherine Burton bequeaths her title of Most Dignified Senior to Quincy Mills, who has justly earned it. Item Nine: George Griffin, Carolyn Stansell, Ralph Marler, and Imogene Wilson return their seats in the fourth period study hall to Mr. Callison, who is probably very glad to receive them. Item Ten : Betty Medford generously leaves her daintiness and her neatness to Annette Brumby. Item Eleven: Sam Rambo bequeaths his place as Ladies ' Man No. 1 of M.H.S. to Warren Benson, while Bill Brumby passes on his knack for telling jokes in history class to Billy Shea. Item Twelve : Bertha Belle Moor has decided to giv e her sweet disposition to Hilda Henley, but Eddy Lay has decided not to give Hilda to anyone. Item Thirteen : Payton Hill wills his duties as President of the Senior Class to whatever popular and deserving member of the Junior Class is elected, pro- viding the one chosen will promise to serve to the best of his ability. Item Fourteen : Max Parnell reluctantly bequeaths his enthusiasm for algebra to Larry Hagood and regrets the fact that he can ' t let him have his crisp, wavy hair to pull when he hits a tough problem. Max has found out that this helps. Item Fifteen: Our own jolly, irresistible Carolyn Stansell wills her enthusi- asm, optimism, and originality to Connie Cagle, who will take her place as everyone ' s friend at M. H. S. Item Sixteen : Lloyd Harris and Howard Butler pass on their personality to all the boys of the Junior Class, so the girls had better be on guard. Any legatee or lawful heir of this class who tries to resist his proper probate shall lose his share that he otherwise would receive. In witness whereof we hereby sign, seal, declare, and publish this our last will and testament, at Marietta, Georgia, this the twenty-sixth day of May, 1939. Senior Class of 1939 (L.S.) By Ed Groover (L.S.) Signed, sealed, declared, and published by the Senior Class of 1939, as its last will and testament, the testator having first signed the same in our pres- ence, and the undersigned having attested the same at the special instance and request of and in the presence of the testator, and in the presence of each other. Shuler Antley, Principal. J. R. Timmerman R. A. Tipton, Advisers Class Prophecy It was the evening of May 26, 1949, and I had settled myself with a good book, prepared to enjoy reading it. Suddenly, I happened to think; just ten years ago tonight, my class graduated from high school, and I, slightly pale under the gills and trembling in my pi-overbial boots, had stood before the audience and read the class prophecy. How well I remembered that moment! Then, still in a mood for reminiscence, I brought out the old annual and quickly turned to the prophecy. What memories it brought back to read it! Here is what I had written : When I recovered from the shock of learning that my recently deceased Great Aunt Abigale had named me as one of the heirs to her large fortune, I made up my mind to take an extended vacation from my job and go to New York to see the sights. Arriving at my destination, I made hotel reservations, settled myself in my room with a newspaper and began to read. What a surprise it was when I glanced over the paper and saw the names of several of my classmates! Glennis Chapman was a leading reporter for the paper; Sarah Kate Groover, a cartoonist; and Frances Parris, a feature writer. While glancing over the paper, I happened to see this article — Tonight in New York will be held a fashion review at the exclusive review ealon of Madam Carolyn Stansell. Madam Stansell has just returned from abroad and has brought with her the latest creations in women ' s fashions. The models for the occasion will be Misses Betty Medford, Monterey Dowda, and Imogene Wilson. The stunning hair-dresses for the models will be created by Lois Hulsey and Jane Wade, and the attractive floral arrangements will be made by Emma Jo McMillan. (Emma Jo, I later learned, is now the owner of a large floral establishment.) Well, I certainly must go to that. And go I did. After the show was over, I went to congratulate my former classmates, and we were soon engaged in a most delightful chat about our school days. They were all anxious for news about Georgia and were alternately de- lighted and surprised when I told them about many of our classmates who had made good at home. John Cheney, I said, is now the mayor of Marietta, and Ralph Marler is the sheriff of Cobb County. Bill Moon, now an architect, is designing several buildings to be erected ' around town ' . And the school teachers that came out of our class! At M.H.S. Catherine Burton is teaching English; George Griffin, history; Max Parnell, chemistry; and Thomas Bowers, Latin. Hene Scheaffer is the coach of the girls ' basketball team. Mildred Burton is the city librarian, with Janet Stanford and Evelyn Barmore as assistants, I continued; and Curtis Abernathy, Frank Fortner, and Robert Dodgen are all successful farmers. Robert received a prize last year for having the largest watermelon ever grown in Cobb County. Mary Emily Claiborne has opened an exclusive camp for girls and is making quite a success of it. But what about New York? I asked. I hear quite a few of the ' 39 grad- uates have migrated here. Yes, said Monterey, Regina Baker is a hostess at one of New York ' s larg hotels, and Neil Perkinson is a famous doctor at the Bellevue Hospital. Nancy Crowe is the laboratory technician there, and Anne Tomlinson is the dietitian. Annie Dobbins and Nellie Mae Frey are members of the nursing staff at Bellevue, and from all I can hear, all of the classmates are doing splendid work in the medical profession. That ' s grand, I remarked. Have you kept track of any of the other illustrious graduates of ' 39? Oh, yes, said Imogene. I suppose you know that when he graduated from Annapolis, H. S. McGahee was made captain of a large pleasure liner. Robert Bagwell, J. D. Hartsfield, Lewis Jenkins, Glynn and R. D. Medford, and Aubrey Lassiter are in the crew, and Lloyd Harris is the ship ' s radio operator. Christine Bramlett is the stewardess on the liner, and the featured orchestra is none other than that of Jack Duncan. Yes, J. O. and Eddy Lay are still with Jack. And did you know, interrupted Betty, that Jack Wood is now a famous scientist? He has a very modern laboratory, and his assistants are Herbert Akins, Billy Mountcastle, and Ray Kemp. And how our classmates do stand out in sports! exclaimed Monterey. Elgin Mitchell and B. F. McLemore are star players for the New York Yankees. By the way, Harry Hames is now the radio announcer who broadcasts all the games the Yankees play. Speaking of sports, I s aid, I almost forgot to tell you that Earl Caldwell is coaching football at Georgia, and Wimpy Howard is the head basketball coach there. What, asked Carolyn, ever became of Ed Groover? Why Ed ' s the manager of a large chain of grocery stores, said Imogene. Some of his assistants are Harold Chastain, Iverson Copeland, Bill Hargis, and Robert Moon. The transportation department is under the capable man- agement of Robert Daniel (who still likes to drive the trucks). With him are James Cordell, Doyle Dickerson, and James Scoggins. And, continued Carolyn, have you heard about our classmates ' success in Hollywood? Only vaguely, I replied. Tell me all about it. Well, said Carolyn, Payton Hill is president of a large movie company — the Twenty-first Century Wolf corporation. (Just leave it to Payton to be president of something.) Rita Williams, Gladys Lawrence, and Sarah Power are secretaries in the company; and Robert Skelton has risen to the position of an assistant director. Howard Butler and Lenox Rambo are great stars, and Bill Brumby is their press-agent. Curtiss Loudermilk has chai-ge of the pho- tographs for the publicity department and has as her capable assistants Mable Pratt and Lena Mae Hendon. Script girls in the company include Wylene Smith, Mabeth Home, Lola Belle Smith, and Anna Morgan. By this time it was quite late (or should I say early?), so I hailed a taxi and drove back to my hotel, still dreaming of those dear old school days. But 1 was suddenly startled out of those pleasant dreams; for when I started to pay the taxi driver, I almost faded away in a faint. He was none other than the Mr. M. H. S. of ' 39, Arthur Bacon. This is the prophecy I had written ten years ago. How much of it had come true or would come true? I have often wondered. The Senior Play Cast for ' Dotty and Daffy ' (in order of their first appearance) Hilda Johnson, the Swedish maid Janet Stanford Alfred Hopkins, the English butler Bill Moon Molly O ' Mulligan, the Irish cook ..Mildred Burton Dorothy Travers, Phyllis ' older daughter, known as Dotty Mary Emily Claiborne Daphne Travers, Phyllis ' younger daughter, known as Daffy Nancy Crowe JiMMiE Rand, a collegian in love with Dotty Howard Butler Freddie Rand, his younger brother in love with Daffy Payton Hill Mrs. Phyllis Travers, an impetuous widow Anne Tomlinson Paxton Belmont, a rich (?) widower Ed Groover Jack Belmont, his son Herbert Akins Aunt Hester Harley, who hates men Curtiss Loudermilk Hugh Rand, uncle of Jimmie and Freddie Neil Perkinson Suniinary of Dotty and Daffy What is the whole duty of a pair of pretty daughters of a beautiful mother when the family funds run low? Obviously to help mamma catch a rich husband and save the family from the poorhouse. At least that is what Dotty and Daffy conceived their duty to be. So when Mamma Phyllis returns from Florida with a supposedly wealthy widower in tow, they gladly consent to disguise themselves as little girls, so that the suitor may be deceived into believing that mamma is eleven years younger than she is. Their fiances, however, a resourceful pair of brothers, incensed to see that Mamma Phyllis is jilting their absent uncle, who has long been in love with her, threaten to queer her game by dressing up as little boys and presenting themselves to the visiting suitor as her twin sons. This disguise offers the boys a fine chance to give the suitor ' s gold-digging son the walloping of his life; all of which so disgusts the suitor that he abruptly breaks his engagement to Mamma Phyllis. That undaunted lady, however, promptly presents Dotty and Daffy as her rich younger sisters, with the idea of having them vamp father and son and thus secure the suitor ' s money for the family. But the boys spoil this game also, and nothing but the arrival of their jilted uncle straightens out the wild tangle of Mamma Phyllis ' love affairs. A whirlwind of laughs. Other good roles in the cast are: a formidable, man-hating spinster; a flirta- tious English butler; and a Swedish maid and an Irish cook, both impressionable.

H. S. on August 25 when twenty- eight sturdy looking boys, who hope to be great athletes some day, reported to Coach Hollis ' s call for duty. These boys were willing to take the wear and tear on their bodies just to uphold the great standard of our school ' s team in previous years. After light practices Coach Hollis issued the uniforms the 4th of Septem- ber. With all the equipment soon issued, some of the boys found themselves running around minus a shoe or something because they were so excited. After a light workout that day. Coach told them to be ready soon for the rough stuff. The team was one of the heaviest teams at Marietta in the past three or four years. The backfield averaged between 155 to 165 pounds with some espe- cially heavy players, such as Earl Caldwell and Herman Howard. The line averaged between 165 to 170 pounds, with Bill Hargis and Stanley Hunter. Playing their first game of the 1938 season, the Marietta Blue Devils rolled off the Richardson Rams 20-0 at the Richardson Park. Showing great form in almost every respect, especially in blocking and running, the Blue Devils gained a most astounding victory. McBrayer, Rambo, Howard and Bacon starred for Marietta. In the second grid tilt of the year the Devils, playing a much superior game, downed the Fulton High team by the score of 13-0. The Blue Devils, play- ing a great offensive game, showed a great improvement. Livingston, Healy, Hunter, and Bacon were outstanding on the Marietta team. Marietta suffered their first defeat of the football year by a much superior team. The Devils, playing a fairly decent game of football, seemed to be either off or not in the class with the team from Athens. The strong Athens eleven swamped the Devils by a score of 33-0. The Marietta Blue Devils, playing one of their hardest fought games of the feason, defeated the hard-driving team of Cedartown, 14-12. Not having been able to practice under lights, the Marietta team was decidedly at a disadvant- age. Watkins and Parnell took individual honors at this game. The Red Elephants of Gainesville Hi again came out on the top side of a 38-7 victory over the Marietta Blue Devils to make it seventeen wins out of eighteen years, wit h one year a tie. Hunter took a 20-yard pass and lateraled to Watkins for the Devils ' lone score. The Devils downed Cai-tersville 13-0 in the hardest-fought battle of the year. Marietta next went down under the Rome lads to the tune of 12-0. Playing in a sea of mud and water, the Devils ' passing attack just wouldn ' t work. The Devils played an unyielding game after a hard rain had made the field soggy. The Bulldogs from North Fulton trimmed the Blue Devils in a score of 14-0. In the final game of the season the Blue Devils crushed Bowden with a score of 13-0. This was the most spectacular game of the whole season. Playing in a sea of mud, with rain and snow falling, the Devils pushed their way to victory. ? ' j -:- I.J.J Basketball The 1939 Season Captain Howai ' d, Healy, Caldwell, Lay, Bacon.

Suniniary of the Boys Basketball Season Ten wins and ten defeats is the record of the 1939 Blue Devils ' basketball team. The team as a whole deserves full credit for the season ' s work. Through no fault of any individual was a game lost. Team work was the most outstanding featui ' e of the Devils. Under the careful guidance of Captain Herman Howard, the Marietta team really went places in the 7th District and N.G.I.C. tournaments. Although they didn ' t come out on top every game, they showed good sportsmanship and that old M.H.S. spirit, whether they won or lost. The Marietta boys won two hard-fought games in the 7th Dis- trict tournament and also two games in the N.G.I.C. tournament. However the number of games won or lost really doesn ' t matter so very much ; it ' s the way in which they are played.

BASKETBALL Suniniary of the Girls ' Basketball Season As the ' 38- ' 39 basketball season of the Blue Devilettes got under way, the Ma- rietta lassies rolled over the North Fulton lassies 43-11. This was the beginning of a most successful season, in which the Devilettes won eight games and lost four. Under the guidance of Mr. Quarterman, who was serving his first year at M.H.S. as the girls ' coach, the Devilettes showed an unsurpassed spirit, fighting to the finish. This spirit turned several seeming defeats into thrilling one or two point victories. These several games were undoubtedly the most nerve-racking of all. For well over half of the game, the Devilettes would trail at a great dis- tance, but then in the closing minutes, and sometimes seconds, they would startle the spectators with their amazing come-back from almost sure defeat to victory. Towards the end of the season, the Devilettes did not play any of the amazing and spectacular games that they had at the beginning. In the last few games they seemed tired as they played, especially in the 7th District Tournament game. All in all though, it will be agreed by everyone that the Devilettes had a very successful season, with really only two defeats, the other two having been avenged with victories.

Baseball Snapshots iiA. GOOD ' D Hunter Suniniary of the Baseball Season The Blue Devils started practice the second week of March. There was a large number of boys to report to the first practice, but most of them were inexperienced. Si.x lettermen were missing. The boys worked hard but had trouble get- ting started. They lost the fii ' st game of the season to South West DeKalb, 4-6. The team was not discouraged but kept practicing and won the next four games. The victims were Nor- cross, Fulton, Decatur, and Richardson. The Devils then got another shot at South West DeKalb, but it seemed that luck was against them, because they lost again. This was the only team that beat the Devils all season. They won the championship of the N.G.I.C. with eight victories and two defeats. lIuWAui) AXD : Inci!i;LL Managers and Cheer Leaders ■ ■ T wavd fJe Brumby- Connie Cagle and Carolyn Stansell Girls ' Basketball Managers o ., ' - iV ' ■ ' VOOfi B ut ' f ou hit ' ' big on ' • ' l ,.„„ ar ' -II. r ' - ' ' - ' o,:: ' ' - ' ' - a H, Olv is rr i AfTlflTlES Tlit (9 c ut o in A MET!

In the dark he tackled one of the cows instead of the mule. The farmer shouted from the house: Say, what are you doing? What ' s keeping you so long? I can ' t get the collar over the mule ' s head, shouted Neil. His ears are frozen. llITOGRilPHS and SMPSHOTS t (9 i o fOAf lETTA HIGH W tU I 939 O L V m P I A n Ikt (9 Mt o m A 51 ETTA HIGH M lil 1 93 9 OLVmPIAn t (9 1 o m A ME IT A HIGH ik 1 93 9 OLvmpiAn i S ' c o m AM ETTA HIGH Vk J 93 9 OLVmPIA n t S c ut o ID AM ETTA HIGH Ik I 93 9 O L V m P I A n
