Co-education, termed by Dr. S. V. Sanford, a doubtful experiment a half- eentur ' ago but today a blessing in that such a system is far more efficient, prex ' cnts waste and duplication of ef- fort, and removes the artificial barrier between the sexes, was an outerowth of three earlier schools; the Marietta Military ' Academy (Georgia Military Institute), « ' hich was erected on the O. B. Keeler O. B. Keeler, world famous sports writer, now author of the column O.O. ' s in the Atlanta Journal, and one of the thousands of M. H. S. alumni, wrote the Olympian staff recently: Ah, me— and to remember that I, smallest and youngest of the Class of 1898, [five members— smallest class in M. H. S. history] was the first to whom Steadman Vincent Sanford, now Chan- cellor of the University of Georgia, e er handed a diploma! And after nearly 47 years, we ' re all living and out of jail! Greetings to my one and only Alma Mater? I couldn ' t say anything half ood enough for what is in my heart. So I ' ll quote: Age cannot wither, now custom stale Her infinite variety ... ■ . Waterman Street School present site of the Marietta Golf Club in 1851, but destroyed by Sherman in 1864, the Marietta Male Academy, located near the present Keith Grammar School, and the Harwood Sem- inary for young ladies, now the home of Moultrie Sessions on Kennesaw Avenue. In 1912, the HAYNES STREET SCHOOL (below) was built, and the high school, which had in 1910 begun the present four-vcar course, mox ' cd into this building to stay until 1924. Keith Grammar School Continuous growth in enrollment, in improved facilities, in accomplish- ments of its graduates has been the fiftv year record of Marietta ' s schools. With 111 on the high school roll in 1909. and 142 in 1922. the enrollment steadily climbed to about 42 5 in 1942. When Bell began to build B-29s to bomb Japan, this number jumped in 1945 to CitO. an all-time high. In 19 wliich then had an industrial arts ualh ' added. 4. the high school moved into the MAIN ' BUIL.DING (belowl rooms but is now a 19-room structure.

James V. Carmichael My greeting to the Alma Mater would be to keep up the fine tradi- tions and the high standards of schol- arship which ha e prevailed there. writes James V. (Jimmie) Carmichael (above), manager of Bell Aircraft Cor- poration ' s Georgia dix ' ision, the larg- est airplane faetor ' under one roof in the world. A graduate of the Class of 1929. Jimmie ' s rise to such a position in the field of aviation, is a challenge to the seniors of ' 45. Niles Trammrll Main Building of Marietta Hish School. Alice M. Birncv, who founded the Parent-Teacher Association in Mari- etta, and to whom the beautiful memorial park in front of the Main Building, with its marble from the 48 states, is dedicated; Miss Louise Schilling an d Fred P. Manget. missionaries to China; Ryburn Clay, Chairman of the Highway Department for the State of Georgia; Cliff Sauls, noted Atlanta spceialist-tlicse names and countless others, symbolize the world-wide scope of thousands who ha ' e been identified with edu- cation in Nhirietta for the past fifty years. Niles Tranimell (left) president of the National Broadcasting Company, who is a former Marietta student, says: In sending my greetings to those now in Marietta High School readying themselves to cope with the problems of the great, exciting complex— and troubled— adult world. I would call their attention to electronics and television, which will afford endless opportunities for interesting, useful, and profitable careers to hundreds of thousands of young people in your age group. DEDICATION To those men who b)- their leadership ha c made Marietta High School «hat it is today, to the superintendents and members of the Board of Edueation from 1895 to 1945, we humbly dedicate this book. A message from Dr. S. V. Sanford father of Marietta High School ; Greetings: Immediately after I recei ed mv diploma, Mr. Thomas A. Murray, a gentleman in the audience, informed me that he had been named principal of the Marietta Male Academy and that he ould like to have me associated with him to teach Latin, Greek, and mathematics. I as ONcrcome with surprise and requested him to gi e me a week to determine the channel of my life. I accepted his offer and I ha c ne er had cause to regret that I ha c devoted mv life to educa- tion, both on the secondar ' and the college level, and that I began my career in Marietta. At the end of three months Mr. Murray, through illness, resigned, and I was named to succeed him, much against my wishes on ac- count of my youth. Two years later, the Marietta Male Academy, of which I was head, and Harwood Female Seminary, of which Mr. J. S. Stewart (one of the great educators of Georgia) was head, passed out of existence, through our influence; and there came into being to take their place a more democratic form of education— the public school system . . . [and with it, coeducation!. Dear indeed to me are all the people in Marietta, particularly From 1921 until 1941, Mr. C. A. Keith scr cd capably as superin- tendent of schools, succeeding Professor W. T. Dumas, who had taken the position on the resignation of Dr. J. S. Stewart, first superintendent. Col. John H. Boston, for 12 years a president of the Board of Education, and under whose leadership the present high school building was erected, is typical of a long roster of Board members who have unselfishly given their time to the boys and girls of Marietta. S. V. Sanford Chancellor of University of Georgia the boys who attended the old Marietta Male Academy and later the boys and girls who attended the Marietta public schools. I married Grace A ' leClatehcy, and our four children were born in Marietta. No hap- pier days ha c we ever had than those spent in Marietta. With appreciation for this opportunity to give greetings to the fine bo ' S and girls in the public schools today and to those boys and girls of an earlier generation •ho are toda}- men and -women rendering a service to make Georga ]mt it should be, I am Sincerely yours, S. V. ' Sanford Colonel John Boston Max C. Pittard Thomas Mitchell Tlic seniccs of Gov. Joseph M. Brown, Dr. V. H. Pcrkiii- son. Judge N. A. Morris, Mr. Ralph ' . Northcutt, Dr. J. D. Malone, Mr. Morgan McNccl, James T. Anderson, A. D. Little, D. R. Little, and many other distinguished members of the Board of Education for the last fifty years, is being matched bv the present board, whose pictures appear here. Theirs is a tr -ing task, that of guiding the phenomenal war- time growth of onr school. Dr. Ralph Fowler Judge J. H. Hawkins Chairman ADMINISTRATION Coming to Marietta High School as principal in 1928, Mr. Antlcv so won the esteem of parents and bovs and girls alike bv his wise guidance, that he became superintendent m 1942. A teacher of shop and mechanical drawing courses for four years, Mr. Covington since 1 942 has been principal of the high school, a place which he fills with dignit ' and competency. Shuler Antley Superintendent of Marietta Schools Mr. Kemp, Marietta alumnus. Class of 1928, came from West Fulton last fall to be principal of freshmen, in the Winn Street School.

Freshman Hi-Y C u ' , a nfv crz-;niz3tian, this year has hecn h ' r p:o-ct. rl- tl-oifrh Miss Senders his previojsy spc .s :■cJ o ' .hcr extra-curricular activities. Miss Clara Nolen From Greenville. South Carolina, came Miss Fra7ic(S Thornton (A.B.. Duke University) to M. H. S. to teach English this year. The softest voice imaginable is one of Miss Thornton ' s assets, and one of her chief interests is camping. She has serveu as coun- sellor for several outstanding summer camps. A concert devotee is Miss Clara Nolen ( A.B.. Uni- ver Mty of Alabama : Certificate in Vo:ce) , whose life is full of activities and interests which range from astronomy to Red Cross. Miss No ' .en puts her philosophy of being happy and m:-king others happy into practice, and the sophomorts and juniors in her English classes are the beneficiaries. Mrs. Fred Stvaiyi ' s ( A.B., University of Georgia) main interests at school are her senior English classes and the supervision of the Olympian. Htr after-school hours are well filled with her two daughters and teaching a Sunday School class. Not satisfied with graduating Magna Cum Laude, she ' s now working on her Master ' s Degree. Mrs. Fred Swam lAisb Jewell rjri( li« ,v I acultu Miss Mildi-ed Sessions Golf to Ga ' Mc Wars typifies the broad scope of Miss Jewel Trippe ' s (A.Li., Shorter ; M.A., University of Georgia) , interests and accompiishments. Spanish and Latin classes do not daunt this Phi Kappa Phi, but she still has time to sing in the First Baptist Choir and to sponsor the Pitchfork, one of the best school newspapers in the state. Social science is Miss Mildred Sesaiov s (A.B., Wesleyan Collep;e), University of Georgia, University of Florida ) , forte, and her courses do more than just expose the student to this field. President of the International Club in college. Miss Sessions capably directs the D. O. Club, an outgrowth of our very fine Diversified Cooperative Training program, of which she is coordinator. When freshman activities are zooming. Mrs. Steve Wing (A.B., M.Ed., Mere- dith. Temple University, Wake Forest College) is somewhere in the midst of things. As Student Council Advisor for freshmen, and civics and voca- tional guidance teacher, Mrs. Wing doesn ' t have too much time for her favorite hobby of collecting blue historical plates. The point system, which student government is putting into effect at M. H. S. next year, is really the brain child of Mi.ss Beulah Wills (B.S., Edu- cation. G. S. C. W. . Miss Wills, who came to M. H. S. this year, has made a place for herself as a popular social science teacher, and sponsor of student government. Miss Beulah Wills j-m A 10 g mUu Diminutive bat dynamic describes Miss Catherine Alley (A.B.. Wesleyan College) who teaches mathe- matics. You have to learn in her classes ; she just won ' t let you pret bored, said one of her students ; she teaches a while ; then when she sees you ' re not Hstening she cracks a few jokes, and then teaches some more. Soft voice and sense of humor characterize Mrs. J. Rae White (A.B., A nes Scott), as well as her infinite patience in explaining geometry, algebra, and trig. The State Hi-Y trophy should have Louise B. White somewhere on it. for her capable leader- ship helped our Hi-Y place it in the trophy case. A lot of fun, said one of her students, of Miss Bessie M. Sanford, ( A.B. ) . but her extensive train- ing at Randolph-Macon, Lynchburg, Peabody Col- lege, Nashville, and Columbia University. New York, have made her a jam-up high school math teacher too. Even freshmen eight hours a day for the school year don ' t bother her ; she ' s a Camp Counsellor in the summer. J ' ss Cailie « Webo Tri-Hi-Y was fortunate to secure Miss Cailie Bell Webb (A.B.. G. S. C. W.) as advisor when Miss Juanita Pitts, former sponsor, resigned at Christmas. Reserveu and versatile, Miss Webb teaches English III and Math II. with church work and a Nurse ' s Aide course as extras. Collecting poetry, tennis, hik- ing, and swimming complete the portrait of vers- atility. Miss Bessie Sanford Mrs, J- R. CalJis Miss Edith Lee acuuu The Army Air Corps is her SPECIAL interest, but Mm. . . R. Callison (B.S.. Ed.. G. S. C. W. ) has a heart big enoufrh to hold the Phys. Ed. department, the girls basketball team, and the Athletic Associa- tion. Listed in National Who ' s Who in American Collepes. this dynamic, but petite instructor is an integral part of M. H. S. Psychiatry is a special interest of Miss Edith Lee (A.B.. University of Georgia), and probably this helps counterbalance her classes in biology. Sunday School work and keeping scrapbooks provide other outlets for this versatile young teacher, who in college was in the upper 5 per cent of her class and made the Dean ' s List with regularity. Designing and sewing are the twin hobbies of Miss Helen Watson (B.S.. H.E.. University of Georgia), who teaches freshman science. From Carrollton, Ga.. Miss Watson formerly taught Home Ec. at Fort Gaines, coming to Marietta this year to take the place of Mrs. Harrison, who resigned early in the year. Phi Mil, Cardinal Key Honorary Society, Who ' s Who in Amarican Co ' Ieges, all these and m t.ny others were tUlts a few years ago of Miss Christine Booth (A.B., Mercer University), even though her students can ' t see how she could have any mind left after learn ' ng : s much chemistry and physics as she knows. Her most recent career is that of Nurse ' s Aide. Miss Helen Watson Coach Henry L. Kemp ( B.S., University of Georgia, Presbyterian College, Emory ) with his withering repartee and understanding of high school characters is easily one of the most popular teachers on the campus. Football players, especially, got to know him well : freshmen, still better, and general science and history class s QUITE WELL. C- ach Harrison Anderson Coach Harrison Andersov ( A.B., University of Georgia ) , popularly known as Andy led a fi rhting Blue Devil basketball te- m ALMOST to the state championshin. A fir-o b s ' ' hall ' flayer him- ' ' f, Mr. Anderson coaches basketball, and teaches Boy ' s Phys. Ed. and Ameri- can history. Fitting into the place of Miss Juanita Pitts, who resigned at Christmas, Mrs. James Townsend (B.S., Home Ec, G. S. C. W.) has quickly become an integral part of M. H. S. Sweet and quiet ( in spite of the red hair ) . Mrs. Townsend keeps an eagle eye on those lazy persons who do not take their plates back. Mrs. Lewis B. Williams Mrs. Lew ' s B. Williams (B.S., Home Ec. G. S. C. W.) has stepped competently into the position of freshman Home Economics teacher held by Miss Elizabeth Johnson before Christmas. Mrs. Williams is interested in Woman ' s Club and Sunday School work; but her avocation, which fits in admirably with her vocation, is costume designing. GCuliu 13 acultu Music and Miss Marjorie U pshaw (A.B., B.M.. Bessie Tift, Oglethorpe, Emory, Columbia) are synonymous at M. H. S. The Glee Club has been a feature of many an occasion. Its director has also found time to give of her talent in directing the First Baptist Choir. Public school music, piano, and voice are Miss Upshaw ' s classes. Covj Mr. E. Fishing would often be preferable to his exacting duties as principal and shop instructor, we know, but Mr. E. D. Covin aton (B.S.. M.S., Western Kentucky State Teachers College and University of Tennessee) is always on the job here at school. He also finds time to serve as superin- tendent of the Intermediate Department of the First Bap- tist Church, and to do a little gardening on the side. Miss Mary E. Smith Miss Mary Ellen Smith (B.S., Commerce, Univrr-ity r Georgia) who has been at M. H. S. for a number of years, is high priestess of typewriting. Superintendent. of the Primai-y Department of the First Baptist Church, and a Nurse ' s Aide, Miss Smith has little time to indulge her hobbies of collecting coins, and i)ainting. A sports fan, she usually gets to see the la t half of the games (when the box office closes). Never a dull moment say her students of Mrs. E. G. Livingston (B.S., Kansas State Teachers College, Pitts- burg, Kansas ) . Shorthand and bookkeeping come alive when Mrs. Livingston ' s personality is integrated with them. Secretary of the local unit of G. E. A., and a student of voice, her world is one of business, culture, and domesticity. G. Livingston 14 15 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Lewis Ledsinger — President Mary Edward — Vice President DONNY Jo Terry — Secretary Pete Hardison — Treasurer 16 What ' s Lewis so worried about— rings or graduation?? Senior The largest graduating class in the history of Marietta High Sehool, numbering 112 students, will sit in capped and gox ned dignity on the stage of the Recreation Center on Ma ' 2 5 to recei e diplomas from Judge J. H. Hawkins, chair- man of the Board of Education. Fifty Years of Progress haye certamh- brought an increase in the number of graduates. In 1898, only fi -e seniors made up the graduating class, and all but one of these were boys. This year only 35 boys, but 77 girls, are enrolled in the senior class. The Armed Ser iees ha e drawn at least two senior boys, Warren Ouarles and Edwin Fields, into their ranks. That it has been a woman ' s world in this year ' s senior class is onh ' partially true, howe er, for a look at B. P. O. C. (Big People on the Campus), reyeals senior girls as heads of Student Goyern- ment. Pitchfork, Olympian, Glee Club, Athletic Association, but senior boys as heads of Hi-Y, Science Club, football and ba.skctball teams, and the senior class organization. From Maine to Miami ran the headline of a Pitchfork feature story which told of students recently enrolled at M. H. S. from all o er the United States. Among the senior group, Be crly Keener from West Virginia, and Bob Renshaw from New York, are typical. These seniors with their brogues and wide school experiences haye helped to combat any unwholesome Southern prejudices still lurking about the corridors of M. H. S. An unusually good school spirit, especially eyi- dent in senior cooperation with teachers and ad- ministrators, has been commented upon by many students and faeult ' members, and this spirit of friendship and oneness of purpose has made itself felt in ictories on the athletic field and in academic pursuits.

' Ilen Red Chilton presided in eliapcl as Stndent Go ern- mcnt ' icc-president, was elected class King for the Valentine Ball, and called class meetings to order— a junior was being recognized as a leader. ' hen Betty Ann Chandler made 100 in the inter-class spelling eliminations and then went on to the Sontheastern Fair in Atlanta to ontspell any other Georgia high school student on such words as incompatibility and lyceum — a junior was made state spelling champion. So the list of notables at M. H. S. would run— juniors on the gridiron, on the baseball diamond, in Student Government, and in Tri-Hi-Y; each of the 141 juniors taking his place in school life.

To be classed as a high school student is enough to make the average boy or girl happy, but on top of this, to be the first class to occupy the new high school building was a privilege added to the glory of being a M. H. S. freshman. Through the ages freshmen have been con- sidered fresh, simple, or dumb. Well, if leading practically all the high school sponsored campaigns means fresh or simple, then the 1945 freshmen arc true to form. In the polio drive they led the entire school; and in the Red Cross dri e they were also ahead. The .same dumbness and freshness extised in the Charlotte Prater — President Charles Powell — V. Presideyit Benny McDow — Secretary Carol Northcutt — Treasurer scrap drive and the Wax Fund campaign-and on and on. As Marietta has grown, so has the freshman class. The new students ha e greatly aided the acti ities of the class, and ha e come with .1 spirit of cooperation toward their new school. This spirit of the freshman, together with th ' - ' guidance of capable teachers who arc always willing to help, has been responsible for the good reputation of the class. As time marches on, keep a watchful e) ' c on the class of 1948. Their spirit of cooperation will tend to put them at the top of any activity sponsored for the good of their school, com- munity, and country. They ' re looking over their record of the Scrap Drive. 38 Left to right, first row : David Hipps, Gienn Cochran, Elaine Hare, Evelyn Alexander, John David Skelly, Sara James, Emma Jean Crowe, Doyle Woodall, Elaine Cur- tis, Walter Burchfield.

Fun and frivolity were formerly the only aims of the organization, but this year school projects have added a satisfactory touch of work to the gay life of a Lucky 13-er. Under Caroline ' s expert leadership, the club has made posters on vital M. H. S. subjects beginning with the Coop series, sold cokes at games, and kept up social morale bv giving incomparable dances. A sport dance after the West Fulton game, and a strictly formal ball during the Cliristmas holidavs have kept Jack and Jill from becoming dull from an o crdosc of study.

S. is proud of its school-spirited members and of the prominent places they are taking in their school. Yet— as with most whole- some girls of their ages— work and dut ' take a back seat during week-ends and holida s. The two reddie functions thrown this ear were a hav ride in the fall, and a Christmas part - during the holidavs. As we go to press, P. S. is planning something different and exciting in the wav of a sca enger hunt.

The elnb was com peting with manv ' ith district schools, in- cluding the Atlanta schools. Under Miss Marjorie Upshaw ' s able lead- ership, this organization has added luster to many programs during the year. The annual Christmas program included an unusual tableau and was quite elaborate. The grammar school glee clubs, under the direction of Miss Peggy Dosser, participated in this affair. The annual spring concert on April 10 and the baccalaureate music bv the Glee Club clearly revealed the advantages of the daily practice period which has been allotted to the organization this vcar for the first time. 48 Front row, left to rigrht : Sara James, Evelyn Alexander.

Presiding over chapel exercises with poise and dig- nity, Juanita LeCrov, Student Go ' ernment president, is typical of the place of respect which her organiza- tion has won in the hearts of the M. II. S. student body. Rome was not built in a dav, nor do modern high school students achieve complete student go - ernment in a year. Since the M. H. S. Student Government came into existence a few vears ago, it itself larger and share of has earned for responsibility. Monitors to assure order in the halls, chapel su- pervision, and a lunchroom patrol seemed to be main features of last year ' s program; but during 1944-45, two important tasks have been succcssfurn- undertaKcn. War bonds and stamps, $7,652.75 worth of them up to the time the Olympian goes to press, have been sold under Student Council auspices. A point system, under which points are assigned for offices in campus organizations, and students are limited to 50 points, has been perfected and will be a part of the 1945-46 school program.

Captain Coleen Jordon The year 194 found the Dcvilettcs doing all right for themselves, inning 9 out of IS sehcdulcd games and two of their tournament games. Startign off the season with a bang, the Tate game, played here, gave the Devilettes a winning seore of 30-6. The scrubs even played. Luek-Shot Chastani was high scorer with 14 points. The second game, against Cummings, was more difficult. Even though our girls played hard and fast, they were defeated, 38-20. The following week-end the De ilettes journeved to Jasper, onh ' to come back losers, 22-18. Myra Chas- tain again was high scorer, with 10 of the Co-Captain Leta Webb 18 points made. The next night they were again defeated by the City Team, 23-16. Returning from the Christmas holidays, the Devilettes started the new year off right hv winning a game with D o u g 1 a s V i 1 1 e, 23-18. Captain Coleen Jordon was li i g h scorer that night with 9 points. The g a m e wit h Rome, which we lost by 2 points, was the li a r d e s t and closest game of the season. About two minutes be fore the game ended, the seore was even. Our guards had worked so hard and so fast they 70 wcic completely exhausted. The Rome girls did a little fast footwork and before we eoiild blink our eyes, had made another goal, ending the game with a t7- 5 score. On the following week-end the Dexilcttes continued to ha e bad luck. Thev lost a game to Druid Hills, iO-25, pla ed there, and to the tall and experienced Cummings girls, for the second time, 3S-28, played here. The Devilettes went fro monc extreme to another in the next two games b ' winning a yen- slow game against Hapc ille, 17-11, played here, and by losing a hard, fast game to the C ass ' ille lassies, 27-14. pla cd there. By this time the Dcxilcttes had had real experience with all kinds of teams and were rapidly improving. Proof of this was winning the game against North Fulton. 16-7, and Jasper, 24-18, on two consecutiye nights. This couldn ' t go on forever, so we lost a return game to Cassville. 25-15. Taking the lead at the er - beginning, the De ilettes coasted to an easy victory over College Park. 42-25. Many substitutions were made during the game. The second game with Druid Hills, pla cd here, again ended in defeat for our girls. 27-19. Not scoring until the last cjuarter. College Park was defeated b - the De ilettcs. 25-7. The last two games scheduled ended in great icton for the Dc ilcttes. Thev defeated Ellija , 23-7, and Rome, 26-20. Captain Jordan was absent that night, but the team carried on successfully. Entering the 7th District tournament after much hard practice and determination, the Dcxilcttes won their first two games against Model and Austell. They lost out on the third game ag ainst Cassville. • It would be hard to say who was the outstanding player on this year ' s team, for all of them, including substitutes, were outstanding. They are a well-rounded group of girls who had tb.cir good and bad nights. The ' 45 team was captained by Forw ard Colecn Jordan. She proved to be an ideal captain and was respected bv all of the members of the team at all times. From top to lower left : Mary Edwards, Helen Led- singer, Betty Jo Marler.

Both the pla ers and Coach Callison deserve credit for the splendid teamwork and swell season enjoyed by everyone this year. All the team did well, even to the smallest member who sat on the bench all the season and never once entered a regular game. The success this year was made possible through such good co- operation.

The mountain tribes of Tate, the classic sons of Rome, the iauntv Jasperites all succumbed to Harrison Anderson ' s elongated Blue Devils. Tirev not onlv won the seventh district championship, but went to the state tournament at Macon, onlv to be defeated in the quarter-finals. Mchvin Fields, now captain of a Na y basketball team at Great Lakes Training Station, was elected captain at the beginning of the season, with Ilcnrv Williams as co- captain. After Fields went to the Na y at the end of the si.xth game, Williams took o ' er as captain, leading the Blue Devils to victor} ' .

After winning six straight, the Blue Devils, greath- ham pered bv the absence of Melds, lost to Druid Hills, 24 to 26, in a bittcrlv fought contest. The second and onh ' other regular season defeat of the Blue Dc ils was ec n closer than the first. In a stabbornly fought game that was in doubt until the final whistle, Marietta lost to North Fulton, 25-26. Marietta had sweet revenge in the second game with Druid Hills. The Blue De ils took them into camp, thor- oughlv defeated them, and sent them back to Atlanta with the short end of a 38-27 score. Marietta was out to win from the start and were ahead the entire game. Dendy sinks two points with a one-handed shot. 73 Coach Harrison Anderson For the first time in the histon ' of the school, the Blue Dc ils won the Seventh District Basketball Championship by de- feating Lakcxiew in the finals, 58 to 21. It was tough going in the other four games. They almost didn ' t make it against McHenry, who was ahead until the final minutes; but Harrison Ander- son ' s men are a determined lot, particu- larly when the chips are down. Thc ' gave forth a sudden burst of that stuff champions are made of and came from behind to win 29 to 26. In the first game of the Southern di- vision, held at Cartersville, Marietta had relatively easy going in defeating Ac- worth, 48 to 32. Marietta had trouble with Cassville, whom thev had defeated twice in season 7th DISTRICT play. The Blue Devils had to come from behind in an o er- time period to win 23 to 21. McHenry almost stopped the Blue Devils ' victory march by jumping from a 1 3-to-O lead at the first quarter to an r8-to-6 lead at the end of the half. They led for three and a half hair-raising quarters, but faltered in the final minutes and Marietta pulled ahead to v.in 29 to 26. In the southern division final. Marietta defeated Austell.
