Marietta High School - Olympian Yearbook (Marietta, GA)

During our junior year we became more blase and worldly-wise. We acecpted our re- sponsibilities with pride and diligence. Many of us became officers of the school organiza- tions. Representing our class in the newly organized student council were Frances Harris, secretaryg Sonny Jervey, vice-president, Theresa Kemp, Bill Whitworth, and Fred Bent- ley, representatives. We entered into every possible activity. We sold magazines to help raise money for our lbanquet and dance. Joe Hamlby was elected to lead us in our efforts. At the Valentine Ball our candidate for queen was again Betty Baskin. We attended the Georgia Scholastic Press Association Convention in Athens that spring. There we got ideas for the next year when we would be given the responsibility and fun of editing the school publications. As hosts, we enjoyed the Junior-Senior Banquet immensely. We struggled over our toasts with more sincerity than oration. Just before the close of school Bootsie Maddox was elect- ed editor-in-chief of The Olympiang Theresa Kemp was named to head The Pitchfork staff. We were entertained at the senior dance, after weeping another senior class through gradu- ationg and another year ended. Finally our senior year began. We elected Joe Hamby as class president again. Football season drew to a close. We received our class rings. With much enthusiasm we chose our graduation invitations. Christmas came and went. Then came our Valentine Ball, with Norma Jane Howell as our class queen. As spring came on, we turned joyfully to the study of the American poets. We had our class meetings to make decisions about our long-looked-forward-to graduation. VVork was begun on the senior play. The annual began to take shape at last. Then came the Junior-Senior again. We were charmingly entertained by the juniors, with Jimmy Carmichael as toastmaster. The dance following was an unrivaled success. The senior play was delightfully hysterical. Mrs. Bonner did her job well and patiently. VVe were well-pleased with the work of all of the members of the cast. Baccalaureate sermon was the next big event. Dr. George Brown delivered an uplifting message in the Recreation Center, with music furnished by the glee club. Then, of course, graduation night, a swift blur of memories-marching down the aisle in Cap and gOWH, S1391-3CheS by the honor graduates,having our names called, receiving our di- plomas, tossing the tassel to the post-graduate side, and turning our rings. And so we leave our Alma Mater to go on our various paths of life. Some of us will com- plete our educations in college, others of us will learn in the school of practical experience. As we leave, we wish to thank those who have made our stay here so pleasant-our board of education, our faculty, and our friends. lfront row: .lou Hamby. president, and Martha Griggs, secretary. Back row: Jody Hollis, vice-president, and Betty Jo Whitlock, treasurer. 37 'P

To most of us it seemed that the fall of 1939 would never arrive. At last the great day came, and we were greeted royally. We fanned the seniors through the heat of late sumimerg we were given the pleasure of removing the rocks from the football fieldg and we were honored with many of the other special freshman privileges. We soon became a real part of the school. We developed crushes on upper-classmeng We supported the athletic teams rapidlyg we learned how to pass notes in class witnoug being caughtg we joined clubsg we took physical education for the first timeg and we were flattered when Coach called us Mr. or Miss . Each home room elected its officersg and when the Valentine Ball rolled around, we selected Betty Baskin as our class queen. Some of us were honored with bids to the Junior- Senior and Senior dances. Then came graduation, when We sighed heart-ibrokenly, School just can't go on Without the seniors. In spite of our doubts school did open the next September, and life Went on. We were insulted because the freshmen did not look up to us in a manner we considered proper. We began to master the art of snoozing in study hall. 'Some of us ibegan the mystic study of Latin. We struggled through sophomore algebra. Our class presidents were Jodie Hollis, Joe Hamby, and Buddy Sanger. We were repre- sented in the orchestra by Cammie McIntyre and Ray Reece. Betty Baskin was again chosen the class queen. i4 5
