Anti.kv, upcvintoiideiit of the -Mariotta School Svstcm Dedication ' Yet he loas kind; or if severe in aught, The love lie bore to learning (cos in fault. What a privilege it is for us to have as the guiding- hand of INFarictta High School, a man who is kind and just, an administrator who because of liis love for boys and girls, fii ' mly stands for achievement, for rea ' achievement on our part in scholarship, in skill, and in self-discipline. It is with pride and appreciation that we dedicate this volume of The Olympian to our superintendent, whose leadership may be symbolized in the calm, kindly, wise administrative power of Zeus, the ancient ruler of the gods. Foreword Because the story in picture and fact of this war- year of 194;i- ' 44 at Marietta High School is epic in its significance to those who have been a part of it ; and, Because high scliool days may be thought of in terms of fact and fancy, and of realities and ideals, even as could be life from whence sprang the myths of the Golden Age ; and. Because Marietta High School stands for culture, for strength, for learning, for qualities of body, heart and mind which have endured since the days when early man sought to endow gods and goddesses with these powers and qualities; and. Because we believe that, although our world is rocking with tempestuous war activ- ities, we, as American youth, may be permitted brief respite in this volume depicting the glamorous and arduous events of the past school year before we turn from its pages into another era of activity . . . We present to you the result of our Herculean efforts and we invite you to enjov with us through winged words and pictures THE 1944 OLYMPIAN l!

In solemn stateliness, youthful finuves wind their way down long aisles. Words ring out through the stillness — one at a time. Each figure turns his cap. Shouts penetrate the silence, and throats grow tight. A tear finds its way down an up- turned face. The melody of Aiild Lang Sijne is the end — the end of Avhat — a study course, an ac- quaintance? No, not just four long years — but part of each life is gone — the ob.stacles, the triumphs, and the memories. Yes, the menun ' ies are the things that bring the tears and cut into each heart — memories of the day Bill gave me his ring, the day Sally smiled at me for the first time, the after- noons at the drug store with tiie kids, the smell of new books, the day I made A on that mean old subject — Memorial Day, when it rained, the friends I made and lost. Seniors — those ' older people the undercla.ssmeii look at, and say, It must be great when you ' re a Senior ! Yes, it is but it ' s all over. Whether it was Avell done, or a poor job, it ' s done, the record is there, and time has come to go out — out into a bright, new world, to make the best of what he has gotten at school. Only the ninety that tread those aisles, and accept a cli])loina know tiiat feeling tliat in exjiression means goodbye. r - President Fred Hamby, seated : Vice- President Allen Cairnes. also seated : Sec- retary Harwell Stovall. extreme right: and Treasurer Talmadfre Hadaway. talk over affairs of state. The first week we seniors enrolled as freshmen, it was said that education would be revolutioniz ed. Jovial as it was meant, it seems now to be true. We weren ' t initiated as freshmen. Some said they were afraid of us. We got attention the next year — the first sophs to be in Quill Scroll and on the publication staffs. We had so nuu-li fun at Athens and at Milledgeville (all-state chorus). Our Glee Club rated Xumber One through- out Georgia. Then we stepped out as juniors, and also claimed presidential titles of clubs — another first. But of all the fun, we had the most as seniors. We fought with the football squad— a great little team. We cheered our basketball team on to victory after victory, one of the to]i teams in the state. Our baseball team topped it all. We dined and danced among the largest crowd in history at the Junior-Senior Banquet. We laughed and applauded at the Senior Play — and were sorry when it was over. Our play was one of the best — we think the best. Who was it that said, Don ' t look back ? We glory in our past, and how we will miss the school that is ours ! 19 Joe Abbott scientific Entered 1; Hi-Y 3.

It is a well-known fact that never is one so wise, so self-assured, so able to cope with any situation, as a sophomore. Our MHS Sophs have rejiresented the best interpretation of this truth. Their poise and ability Avill, we know, make a real junior class next year. Super-duper I. B.

The OLYMPIAN Mount Olympus might have become an active volcano, if it had been the scene of the publishing of this yearbook by the seniors of MHS. The editor-in-chief, beginning early in the year, worked toward a nervous breakdown over dummies, late write-ups, difficulties of getting covers, but tinally recovered, when, assisted by the ever-faithful associate editor, she finally placed the completed volume in your hands. Discouragements suffered by the three advertising man- agers would have defied Hercules himself, but finally they came through with adequate advertising. The three business managers who handled the money from the Valentine Ball, the senior play, and other efforts, also deserve credit for financing the yearbook. Sports editors, photography editors, and the art editors deserve credit, too, for their contributions to the book. Mrs. Francis W. Bonner, the first faculty advisor, found it necessary to resign early in the year. Thereafter, Mrs. Fred Swain and Mr. H. E. Hope took over her task, ably assisting and abetting the staff in the completion of the book. Louise Payne Editor-in-Chief 40 The PITCHFORK AVe wonder if the gods themselves would have done a better job putting out the Pitchfork, MHS monthly newspaper, than has this year ' s staff. The members have done splendid work, despite the many difficulties that have confronted them. Under the direction of Ralph Fowler, the editor-in-chief, and Miss Jewell Trippe, the faculty advisor, they have published nine issues, each of which came out according to schedule.

Dick Murray, Mary Mayes, Lucia Seifrit, Jean Wool- bright, Bobby Keith, Wayne Donald, Allen Cairnes, Katherine Wilson, Ralph Fowler, Betty Jo Crumrine. Tommie Jean Dowda, Tattie Mae Williams, Jakie Upshaw, Joe Abbott, Greer Edwards. The Pitchfork has been the official organ of Marietta High School for many years. The staff is chosen by the faculty to sei-ve the fol- lowing year. During the summer the editor-in-chief makes out his schedule and plans as nearly as possible each issue of the paper. When school begins, the entire staff gets to work. Advertisements are secured and layouts prepared. Assignments are made, written, cheeked, re-written and tj ' ped. Finally everj-thing is sent to the printer. The copy is then proof read, and at long last the paper is printed. Although the Pitchfork may receive many other honors, the OUimpiati staff would like to bestow a laurel vi ' eath on the paper ' s ]iage in the yeai ' book. 41 STUDENT GOVERNMENT The aim of the Student Government Association of Marietta High School is to strive always to im- prove the school. The g:overnment has as its legisla- tive body a Student Council made iip of four officers and three representatives from each section. The members of the council are elected by vote of the entire student body. The constitutioiuU purpose of the Student Gov- ernment Association is to raise and maintain the standard of the school, foster school spirit, bind the faculty and student body more closely, and develop leadership and initiative. Constitutional require- ments and limitations are carried out to the minutest detail by the Student Council and the Monitors and other Council committees. The Student Govennnent of 1944 has concen- trated mainly on the sale of United States War Bonds and Stamps. As a result of the system worked out by the Council, .$4,554.00 in bonds and stamps have been sold up to date. The goal set at the first of the year was .$6,000.00. Another project undertaken by the Council wiis to stop the congestion in the lunchroom during the lunch hour. Monitors taken from the Student Body were placed in the lunchroom to help the students get their lunches moi ' e quickly and with less con- fusion. This system proved very satisfactory. Besides these projects, the Council has equipped a first aid cabinet for the school, taken charge of asembly in the mornings, and purchased song books for the enjoyment of the Student Body. The Student Council is a good will body. It strives to carry out the projects undertaken, main- taining all the while the good will of all the students in Marietta High School. Betty Joe Crumrine.

This program was org ' anized in Marietta High School in the year 104l , witii Mr. ( ' . W. Lockett as the first coordinator. From 1941 to 1943 Mr. Coving ton held this position until he liecame prin- cipal. Miss Mildred Sessions is the present coordinator. The program here is a part of a nation-wide activity sponsored by the Federal Government. Actual work is directed by the Vocational Educational Departments in the state. The students ' school schedule consists of four periods a day — Iavo in sjiecialized training and two in essential subjects, such as English, with employment in some Marietta firm oecuiiying the afternoon hours. After graduation the student is ready to go to work, usually continuing in the job in which he trained. Kecjuirements for this course are: student must be 16 years old; either a junior in- senior; he must be doing- passing work; and must possess good character. The student receives a unit for each ]ieriocl of work. The D.O. Club was formed at the beginning of the year and has been active in school affairs throughout the term. The officers of the club are : Dorothy Greenway, president ; Katherine Young, vice-president; Betty Lee, secretary, and Leon Whitfield, treasurer. Our D.O. program compares favorably with other schools of the same enrollment throughout the state. 43 HIY This year the Marietta Hi-Y has experienced the most profitable term since its re-orjjanization in 1940. Under leadei-ship of President Joe Abbott and the faculty adviser, Mrs. J. Rae White, the elnb has gone forth with all its energies and talents to accomplish its purpose — to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community liit;h standards of Christian charactei ' .

The school as a whole has felt the guiding influence of the club through its Bible Studv Course, chapel programs, waste paper and clean-up campaigns, purchase of a new Sag, keeping of the bulletin board, raising and lowering of the flag. Of these accomplishments, the moJt important was the annual Bible Study Course. Assembly speakers to the school at this time were Rev. Alton Glasure, Mr. Morgan McNeel, Jr., Rev. W. G. Cutts, Miss Beatrice Detnck, Rev. B. C. Spears, Dr. Willis A. Sutton, and Kemp Mabry. The community has recognized the value of the club by asking the officers to give programs at regular meetings of the Lions and Rotary Clubs. The Parents ' Night Banquet, held just before the close of school, svmljoli ed the ideals of the club for the promotion of harmonious relations among the .students, parents, and school officials. The club was honored by having as guest speaker Mr. Abit Nix, president of the Georgia YMCA. The year 1944 has marked the apex of accomplishment in the life of the MHS Hi- organization. Each member has tried his best during the entire year to make his club the most outstanding that has ever existed in Marietta High. Marietta High School students owe a debt of gratitude to the Hi-Y boys for the fine work which they are cairying on. 44 TRI-HI-Y sii])civisi()!i of Miss Juanita Pitts.

Acting on ideas secured at this conference, the delegation elected eight additional girls as charter members, and soon after that time chose their officers and sponsors. The Tri-Hi-Y is a Christian club whose ]niri)ose is to create and maintain high standards of Christian character throughout scliool and community. Some of the activities during the year weie a clean-up diive, a clean speech program, a scrap drive, waste paper and War Bond campaigns. Tri-Hi-Y also sponsored a Go-to-Church Sunday by means of which they urged all students to attend church on that particular Sunday. The club attended the Methodist church in a l)ody. They entertained the mothers of the clul) at a M ither-Daughter Ran(|Uet. Collaborating with the Ili-Y, First Row: Jean Woolbright. Mildred Black, Jean Lindsey, Jo Ann Carter.

The club has become a member of the National Association and the State YWCA. As proof of the success of the dub, a Junior Tri-Hi-Y Club at Yaterman Street School was organized under Tri-Hi-Y guidance. The club has made a forward step during the past year, even though it w-as handicapped by the fact that it was new- ly organized. As a whole, the club has accomplished a great deal and hopes that it will continue to improve in the coming vears. 45 OFFICERS: DoNNiE Jo Terry Mildred Black Miss Pitts Jackie Upshaw Jean Woolbright Miriam Goodwin Fi?.ST Row, seated on floor: Mai y Mayes, Charlotte Smith, Stella Barber, June Baker, Annie Laurie Thomas.

LUCKY 13 Fur yeais the most outstaiiiliug ' social dub of MHS has been tlie Lucky 13. The objective lias always been to have fun, but besides the social functions this year Lucky 13 has tried to work for the betterment of the school. At the beginning of the year two faculty advisors, Mrs. Bonner and Mr. Anderson, and three sponsors, Talniadge Hadaway, Bill Bullard and Allen Cairnes, were elected. Meetings are held at the homes of the members every two weeks. A short business meeting is held first, followed by food and fun for all ! Several of the ac- complishments of this year ' s members are as follows: concessions at several football and basketball games; buying a rope for the flag- pole; holding a pep rally and dance with P.S. before the Thanksgiving morning game ; at Christmas, playing Santa Clans foi- a need - family. Because of war conditions, social functions have had t member is still the desire of every underclassman. The last gala event of Lucky 13 ' s 1944 season was the annual girl break dance held this year at the Elks ' Club. As a parting gesture the old members said to the new ones, Miss us, and have as much fun next year as we have had this year!

For this group of eighteen girls, chosen from the .iunior and senior classes, has combined fun with service to the school in its 1944 schedule. This idea of service plus pleasure was introduced into the club ' s plans for the first time this year. A gigantic pep j-ally, preceding the victorious Cartersville football game at which an effigy of the losers was burned on an enormous bonfli-e, was sponsored jointly by P.S. and Lucky 13. The dance at the Recreation Center following this game was a social highlight of the year. Mr. Rumble and Miss Nolen, faculty advisors, have been of much assistance to the club in all its undertakings. As a climax to the yeai- ' s activities, a swimming partv at the Marietta Country Club, followed by a spaghetti supper will be enjoyed by members of P.S. Club and their dates. To the junior and senior members of 1944- ' 45, P. S. Club says : We hope you have as much fun as we did during 1943- ' 44. 47 First Row, left to right: June White.

Fifty-five girls, whose voices were chosen because they would blend well, have met Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week for reheai ' sals, in addition to other special practices. The annual Christmas Carol program, assembling- the entire grammar school student body, along with the High School Glee Club, won many complimentary I ' emarks. A new organization, composed of boys ' and girls ' voices, has been begun this year. An assembly ]irogi-af by this group was so well-received that Miss Upshaw hopes to increase the size of this mixed club another year. Appearing on the stage of the Atlanta Auditorium during the April meeting of the Georgia Education Asso- ciation, the Girls ' Glee Club sang in the all-state chorus, composed of several hundred high school singers. Dr. George Howard, of Northwestern University, who was guest director of this group, pronounced it one of the best choruses in the United States. 48 Mr. Rumble, Miriam Goodwin, Clara Welch, Ralph Howell.

Do you rciiicniber ? The l-aiid was be- gun in 1942 by Dr. Darden Rumble, avia- tion and general science teacher. A small group of musically interested students, none of whom had had previous band ?xperience, composed the nucleus of Marietta ' s now jioised and trained band, such as you see in this i)icture. These charter members worked hard under Mr. Rumble ' s patient but effi- cient direction; they grew in (|uality and in quantity, until the spring of 1944 a rewai ' d in the form of resplendent blue and white (the school ' s colors) uniforms repaid them for all this effort. During this school year the band has practiced every day dui ' ing first period, in addition to frequent rehearsals often after school. Many pul)lic appearances of the band — on Memorial Day, Thanksgiving parade, and Assembly program. ' ; — have called forth much praise. The climax of a successful year, however, was the full length evening concert presented on April 18, in the Recreation Center. The program, embracing marches, serenades, a trumpet duet and a clarinet quartet, deserved the enthusiastic approval of students and jiatrons which was lavished upon it.

There is an old sports saying that goes: You can ' t win them all, and the Blue Devils found this out when the season ' s record of one victory and nine defeats was chalked up. There is, however, a good side to this. The team that ] Iarietta did beat was our biggest rival, Cartersville. The 1943- ' 44 Blue Devils were light and inex- perienced, but no one can say they didn ' t try in every game. After the .season the Blue Devils all cast their ballots for the best player on the team. The boy who won this honor really deserved it, for his playing was outstanding in every game. He is none other than Bullet Bill Bishop.

He Avas the sparkplug of the team and kept the boys on their toes. Though the Blue Devils lost nine out of ten games, they out-passed all of their opponents ex- cept one; yet, believe it or not, this was the one team they beat — Cartersville. Two of the receivers who did good jobs were Captain Harwell Stovall and Fred Hamby. In the line the best players seem to have been Red ' Clackum, Ralph Howell, George Newton, Curly Barnes, Ronny Skelton and others. In the backfield, beside the aforementioned Bishop and Cordell, Fields, Hadaway, Ledsinger, and La- Grone bore the burden. LaGrone entered school and joined the team in the middle of the season, but he proved to be a great help to the squad. He was the best line plunger on the team. The grand and glorious day the Blue Devils like best to remember is Thanksgiving morning when Marietta won over Cartersville, 20-13. Bishop and LaGrone starred in the backfield for the Bhie Devils that day with Ralph Howell and Curly Barnes taking honors in the line. Marietta scored first in the initial quarter after a long march from their own 19-yard line. Bishop made the touchdown and LaGi ' one scored the extra point. Shortly after- ward Cartersville scored on a long pass to make the score 7-6. Marietta scored again in the second quarter and once more in the third. Toward the end of the game Ledsinger was running with the ball when, all of a sudden, to his surprise he didn ' t have the ball. Holden of Cartersville had the oval and had crossed the goal for a touchdown. The game ended 20-13. 64 FOOTBALL I i ? Ralph Howell Edwin Fields Fred Hamby Bishop-Howell teamwork.

BASKETBALL The Greeks didn ' t seem tu have a name for feminine athletes, but the name Devilettes stood for a very successful girls ' basketball team this year at MHS. By winning- eight out of sixteen scheduled games the team held, at the end of the season, 405 points to their opponents 374. This is the first time in several years that the girls ' squad at MHS has outscored its opponents. Gloria Houston ' s agressiveness and scrappy plavdng enabled her to SAvish the nets for 136 points, while small but plenty fast ' erdie lae Palmer came in a close second with 131 points. Two- point Joan Kirk came in third with 90 points. The fine defensive playing of Devil- Top — Gloria at it again. Center — Managers Mary Mayes and Jean Haney. Bottom — Captain Upshaw, Co-Captain Houston and Coach Callison. ettc guards Edwards, Wel)b and Upsliaw added much to the team ' s successes. Under the capable g ' uidanee of Mrs. J. Roy Callison, the team displayed out- standing sportsmanship. Her splendid supervision and faithfulness were quali- ties which endeared her to the team and led them through a successful season. The work and cooperation of the maiuigers, Haney and Mayes, also added much to the good spirit of the team. The Devilettes entered the Seventh District Tournament at Acworth with de- termination t i win Init came out on the losing end. In spite of not winning every game jDlayed the team maintained true sports- manship and lived up to the lines, It isn ' t whether you win or lose that counts, bnt hotv you played the game, ' ' That ' s Houaton asrain, with two more points for Marietta, Loyal members of the ' 44 Devilette squad: front row, left to right— Edwards.

BASKETBALL The Devils, in spite of Hamby ' s absence, played fine ball and marched victoriously to the finals of the Seventh District Tournament held at Jlarietta, where Rossville, later state chamiiions, defeated them by the narrow margin of one point. In the XGIC tournament, held at Fulton, the Blue Devils ' advance to the championship was stop- ped in the semi-finals by the strong: Athens laroons. Two members of the team, Captain Fred Hamby and Alternate-Captain Hanvell Stovall, received cov- eted berths on the All-XGIC team an honor compar- able to that of winning a laurel wi-eath in the ancient Olympic games. Center Hamby took top individual scoring hon- ors, hitting the hoops for 158 points in 12 games. Second most accurate of MHS hardwood artists was Stovall, potent guard, who tossed in a total of 119 points. Fiery Edwin Fields cut the cords for 108 points, taking third scoring honors. And so ends a record vear of basketball at Marietta High. Ably directed by Coach Harrison Anderson, the team showed such determination and ability that it will be difficult for Marietta cage teams of the future to match its yet unparalleled achievements. iM-tiiauci ICrtlpli 1.1... i takes things easy, as usual- Bishop puts it up, while Abbott waits to take it off the board. 69 FRED HAMBY BILL BISHOP HARWELL STOVALL BASKETBALL Season ' s Record — 1943- ' 44 Team Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Blue Devils Total Score 2; 37 27 37 32 32 42 21 36 4S 33 34 39 46 37 43 565 Team Fitzhugh Lee Lion ' s Club Druid Hills Smyrna Hapeville Jasper Acworth Lion ' s Club Druid Hills Rome Rome Cartersville Hapeville Smyrna Acworth Cartersville Total Score 32 35 18 1(1 31 17 35 32 17 39 25 9 11 17 15 23 372 EDVSfIN FIELDS 70 Left to right: Jakie Upshaw, Gloria Houston.

The prospects didn ' t look very good at the outset of the season and it was prophesied that they were destined for the cellar of the NGIC, but all who prophesied this Avere mistaken. In the opening game of the season with Commercial, the Blue Devils took an early lead. Com- mercial soon jumped ahead for an inning or so, but the Blue Devils soon forged out in the front again, winning 8-7. Quarles was pitcher. West Fulton, last year ' s champion, came to town next and routed the Blue Devils 17-2. Bouncing back from that ilefeat the Blue Devils lieat the strongly favored Fulton Redbirds, 5-2. Sam Maddox pitched his first game and did a wonderful .job, allowing the Redbirds only two hits. Marist was next on the list, and the Blue Devils polished them off by the neat score of 5-2. When Marietta ' s biggest baseball rival— Decatur — came to the home field, the best game of the season got under way. Edwin Fields stole home in the ninth to tie it up, and then Stovall knocked across the winning run in the eleventh. The score, 11-10. Marietta went to Commercial to play them for the second time and this time the Blue Devils had no trouble in giving them a 15-3 beating.
