Four boys on a bench— Jack, Bu James, and Don, find this more fur than the schoolroom. Senior Blue Devils turn printer ' s devils to learn journalism first hand at the Cobb County Times. Oh, Mrs. McKinney ! Can ' t vou huri it up a little? Miss Sessions and the senior American history class con- sider weighty national problems. 144 £fW i£ tL After eleven years of arduous work, rising early, studying late, we ' ve reached the coveted goal— we are Seniors! Ahead lie col- lege, business careers, and other fields for which our study has prepared us. If only we had been more attentive to the advice of our seemingly ovcr-zcalous parents and teachers. In retrospec- tion, they both did a fine job with only indifferent co- operation from us. Four years ago, when we came to Marietta High, we were a nervous bunch of freshmen, but we had sophomore, junior and senior friends to help get us started, and after that there was no stopping the future Senior class of ' 46. It was as a freshman that Barbara Blair was chosen cheer leader and began a series of honors that culminated in her selec- tion as Miss M. H. S. Leta Webb played varsity basketball and others made good athletic records in their freshman year. Pat Caldwell was Miss Freshman at the Valentine Ball. We had learned the ' tricks of the trade before we became Sophomores and vivacious Anne Willingham was our entry in the Queen of Hearts ' contest, an honor that she repeated and won as Miss Junior Class. It was in this year that we sent Bettv Ann Chandler to the state spelling contest in Atlanta, to bring back first prize. As the senior contestant this year, Patsy Young won second prize. Jane Smith and Buddy Shell were the class representatives at the Valentine Ball this year, and Buddy was chosen King of Hearts. May be Melodrama, but it helped put out Olympian sales over the top 1
