The Board The Board of Education shows interest and enthusiasm in every phase of a student's school life, from supporting the athletic pro- gram to having a desk repaired or replaced. Great plans are being made and carried out. Emphasis is being placed on quality education, education that prepares a student to meet the challenge of the future. The athletic program is being expanded, and the Board is working toward having the best physical education program in the state. Students have seen definite notes of prog- ress because of the Board's concerted effort to- ward modernizing and improving the school's present facilities. The freshly painted walls and refinished Hoors make the school day much brighter. Dr. Earl Williams and Mr. B. C. Yates examine the attendance records of the Marietta Schools. F The Christmas banquet given by the home economics department was considered a treat by members of the Board and their wives.

Faculty Shows ide lnteres The drab school teacher is a thing of the past. The Marietta High School faculty, de- spite its total of 265 years of service, is as rare and colorful a combination as anything Holly- wood has ever photographed. On the statistic side the faculty can be cred- ited with more than seventy degrees received from such far Hung spots as Rutgers, Colum- bia, Cornell, and the universities of Pittsburg, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and New York. There is a tremendous flexibility in the group. Several of the faculty are qualified to teach subjects other than the ones they are currently teaching, to say nothing of the sub- jects not in the school's present curriculum such as, manual skills, Spanish, German, Ital- ian, and Greek. Individual years' service records range from thirty-three to one. Fifteen newcomers are at MHS this year. Hobbies range from Crocheting to fencing. Most of the men lean toward sports, while the majority of the ladies enjoy curling up with a good book. One lady teacher even listed her hubby as her hobby. The varied interests, the educational know- how, the genuine personalities, and unques- tionable character - these are the traits of these teachers that make them a true influence on the lives of every student they teach. Top to bottom Miss Beasley answers another of the many phone calls which flood the office daily. Miss Stillwell finds a practice session at the piano very pleasant and relaxing. Mrs. Cosey en- joys flower gardcning, a refreshing outdoor hobby. Below Mrs. Askew, Mr. Glenn, and Mrs. Gentry, part-time teachers at the night division of the University, pause for a Coke.
