ABLE LE DERS Mrs. Annette Chalker Askew, an M.H.S. alumni, has inspired stu- dents here for six years. In addition to being Chairman of the English Department and advisor of the Pitchfork, Mrs. Askew en- joys pursuing several interesting hobbies and community activities. She has an A.B. degree from G.S.C.W. and has also attended Duke University. Harrison Anderson, teacher of American history, is boys' basketball and baseball coach. A graduate of the University of Georgia, Coach Anderson has been teaching at Marietta for seventeen years. Mrs. E. J. Quiery, librarian and advisor of the Library Aides Club, also gives courses in library study for several classes. Dallas Stewart, Science Club advisor, is a graduate of Berry College. Mr Stewart TEACH AT HS We'll never finish all this English homework, and we have a physics and history test tomorrow! Busy seniors gave such painful groans at the end of almost every school day at MHS. This year more work was expected of us seniors than ever before. As the end of the year drew near, however, we began thank- ing our teachers because they were constantly setting new challenges before us and helping our develop- ment, not only in the classroom, but in our everyday living as well. And as we came to value their guidance and friendship, we found that these teachers are actually very interesting people to know. After see- ing Mr. Anderson's amusing grin, we weren't too amazed to learn that he had been chosen Mr. MHS of 1930! Nor were we surprised to learn that Mr. Strother, an excellent artist in his own right, has created an array of striking pictures. One modern ab- stract canvass of his won first place in the 1958 Cobb County Art Festival. Many of our teachers are active participants in worthy community activities. Mr. Glenn is an energetic member of the First Methodist Church's official board and of the Marietta Lions Club. In his spare time he likes to study about the Civil War and write short stories. Several faculty members teach night school and summer school, others spend their well-deserved vacations gaining more knowledge, learning new teaching methods and becoming better equipped to effectively teach each new class of students. Last sum- mer Mr. Stewart completed several summers' study at Emory and received his masters in education with a major in science. Most of the teachers have special hobbies and acti- vities which they particularly enjoy. Mr. McKeown, a Peabody graduate, enjoys boating and water skiing in his free moments. Mrs. E. A. Wolfe, a graduate of the University of Georgia, relaxes by playing bridge and dancing. Mrs. Askew, who last summer made a European tour, has recently acquired an interest in hunting. These leaders influence every student they teach. '98 prepares a film for his physics classes. 0 fs. Q 4

W W 45 A ew Q J' As., A'f'L.,f - in Mrs. J. H. Bell, PTA radio chairman, supervises the taping of the Glee Club radio program. Similar programs were presented throughout the school year. YE RQS GOALS In April the yearly Science Fair was opened to the parents, who visited the science department to View the many interesting projects. A thought-provoking program was presented by the Science Club. The subfreshmen enjoyed a dance early in the year presented by the PTA especially for the eighth grad- ers and their dates. In the fall Mrs. James T. Anderson entertained the faculty at a tea. Later in the year the PTA honored Mrs. Christine Hutcheson, an outstanding teacher, with a very lovely tea. Students owe much to this worthwhile organization that demonstrates their interest and effort in the individual development of every pupil. They have completed many worthwhile projects which have con- tributed much to our school. Through these activities the PTA became an important part of our school and home lives. At the PTA tea in her honor, Mrs. Christine Hutcheson auto- graphs a copy of her book, Off the High Horse, for Mrs. Steve Tumlin. The tea was a great success. Mrs. John King and Mrs. Myrtle Chatfield deco- rate for a special dance for the subfreshmen. Mr. Henry Dumphey explains his treasurer's report to Mrs. Charles Clayton and Mrs. V. S. Malnoski, secre- taries. The PTA seems to be financially well off!
