Only those on the inside know all the agonies of late copy, snow on the day last minute group pictures have to be made, no typewriters available when copy has to meet the deadline, or a notebook with ad” copy lost after weeks of hard work. There are plenty of headaches for the staff, but there is a lot of fun too. We ' ve enjoyed putting this book together, and we hope our readers will overlook our mistakes and find in it memories that will be a source of pleasure in the years to come.

THE SCARLET HURRICANE Four reasons why Marion had one of the most successful football seasons in years—our coaches and our captains! As head coach, Mr. Noel worked long hours, developing a team that could win over odds and take defeat with true sportsmanship. Assistant Coach Wilkinson really put the boys to work, and as for our cap¬ tains—well, they had what it takes! Good luck. Captain Cox, in the Navy! We miss you at Marion High. Varsity Highlights September 13—Virginia High. 0; Marion, 7 For the opening game, the Hurricane traveled to Bristol Vidth not too much confidence, due to the lack of equipment and practice. Johnny Crewey ' s spectacular run down the field for the lone touchdown was the thrilling moment of the game. September 22—Narrows, 0; Marion, 19 The Green Wave from Narrows rolled back before the storming Hurricane in Marion ' s first home game, with the football fans out in force to cheer their team. September 29—Wytheville, 12; Marion, 0 This was a fateful night for the Hurricane, playing un¬ der the lights on Wytheville ' s home field. It is nothing but fate when a ball rolls backward to score a touchdown for the opposing team, and the Wythe County boys were right there to help fate along. October 5—Johnson City, 13; Marion, 13 Marion was 40-poinl underdog, according to the books, but under the lights and rain, tied the Hilltoppers in a nip and tuck game. A blocked kick by Pafford set up Marion ' s first chance to score. October 12—Rich Valley, 7; Marion, 21 This was the team that had not been beaten on their home field for five years. As usual, however. Coach Noel came up with surprises; and the St eers, though fighting gamely, were stampeded by the blasts from the Hurricane as it swept down the field. October 19—Galax, 13; Marion, 13 Marion traveled across the mountains to play under the Galax lights and held a very good team to a 13-13 dead¬ lock. A long pass from Poe to Pafford scored Marion ' s first touchdown. October 27—Pulaski, 0; Morion, 32 In a lopsided game the Pulaski Orioles had their wings clipped to the tune of 32-0, much to the delight of the Marion fans, who went wild on the bleachers. November 3—Radford, 13; Marion, 6 Playing on a muddy field, the lighter Hurricane went down before the Radford Bobcats in its second defeat of the season. November 10—Saltville, 6; Marion, 19 With bands playing and before an estimated crowd of 1,000 spectators, the Saltshakers, Marion ' s traditional rivals, shook out on the local field to give the Hurricane a thrill¬ ing victory on Homecoming Day. Saltville ' s touchdown during the final quarter was a spectacular highlight of a rather one-sided game. iX K I III ' I J JUNIOR VARSITY SCOREBOARD Opp. M.H.S.

Although coming out sixth among the eight schools represented, Marion was jubilant over Don Battelene ' s mighty javelin heave, which measured 146 feet, 6 inches, and left all other contestants far behind. Don Pafford shared Battelene ' s honors by coming out in second place with the discus. Both boys will go to Charlottesville to participate in the state meet there later in the spring.

Packed with creepy noises, secret panels, clutching claws, comedy, and romance, the play gave the seniors abundant opportunity to use their dramatic talents, under the capable direction of Mrs. Willard Horne. The stage crew deserves special commendation for the weird lighting and sound effects that contributed much to the success of the play. The boys in the shop, under Mr. Carpenter ' s supervision, built an ingenious set with unsuspected secret entrances and all the paraphernalia of a haunted house.

The 1946 juniors blazed the trail on March 15 and 16 with their presentation of Booth Tarkington ' s Seventeen , a four-act comedy portraying typical teen-agers in their attempts to solve such problems as growing pains, love, and rivalry in social life. With Dick Perkins and Martha Ewald heading an excellent cast, the play moved smoothly under the capable direction of Miss Elizabeth Neff. The sets were built by a committee of junior boys, and the stage crew managed lights and scene shifting almost like professionals.

We hoped; we stepped on Lucky Strikes; we wished on the first star—but it happened. In spite of anything we could do, the world didn ' t end before September seventh. After being very fa¬ vorably impressed by our new principal, Mr. Horn, we journeyed to our classes, where we were speedily unimpressed by the amount of work it seemed the teachers thought we were going to do. We barely dragged out the week, but were amply rewarded on Friday, when the boys took a 7-0 victory from Virginia High in Bristol, our first football game. Soon all you heard as you walked up and down the halls of M. H. S. was football—what had happened and what was going to happen. One chapel pro¬ gram was devoted to Dr. Stuart Staley ' s side-splitting story about the beginning of football at M. H. S. The Hurricane weathered some tough storms, coming up with five wins, two ties, and two losses. The last game, against Saltville ' s Saltshakers, featured the homecoming celebration of the year. First, we had a bonfire, burned Saltville, and heard talks by the football boys. Then a snakedance to end all snakedances!! It must have stretched from one end of Main Street to the other. Really! I And then there was the midnight show with all the acts we enjoyed so much. Of course, we wished the football boys could have been there in¬ stead of getting their beauty sleep, especially to see the Flora- dora Ballet Girls. Still very sleepy, we managed to get to town to see or be seen in the parade, and walked up that long hill (It ' s much longer and steeper in the middle of winter—brrr!) to see the game. Naturally the Hurricane came out on top, to the tune of 19-6. And as a special attraction—and what an attraction —Carolyn Funk was crowned Queen of the Homecoming. That night we had a dance in the gym, from which we emerged happy but s-o-o-o tired. And then on Monday the teachers wondered why we didn ' t have our homework as usuaK?). Many thanks to Mr. Carpenter and Mrs. Dillard and all others who helped to make our first big homecoming a success. We had two days ' vacation for Thanksgiving, but the next week flu struck, and we were let out two more days. And again the next week we all came down with flu or anything we could find to catch, and were out three days. This was wonderful, until we realized it would mean a week more next summer. The Advisory Council proved they could do more than advise by entertaining us at a party the Wednesday before Christmas. ON IT ALL C ir A I iOTf A «=� S ’A«- � • -T And on the twenty-first we started the glorious ten days called (sigh) Christmas vacation. But the ten days passed about as fast as you can say Jack Robinson and, much against our better judgment, we came back to school. After a painful reminder about exams, we settled down to cram. A choice few let out a sigh of relief when they were over, but the rest of us held our breath until—yes, you guessed it — report card time. The memory of our home that night is painful, so let ' s change the subject. In the meantime our school paper. The Scarlet Flash, edited by Dick Perkins, W.H.F.C. (Woman Hater, First Class), made its first appearance. Also we had a debate in chapel on Resolved, that women ' s hats are crazy. Aw, come on, stop arguing. That was last February! On February twenty-first the band gave its annual concert. The boys, who had a successful season, traveled to V. P. I. for the district basketball tournament. They defeated Galax 57-19, only to lose to Radford, who won the championship, 32-27, after a hard-fought game. The girls went to William Fleming in Roa¬ noke the next week-end, where they topped Martinsville 30-20. In the semi-finals they lost to Fleming, who captured the tourna¬ ment, 28-24. In the consolation game the Scarlet Flashettes lost, after a nip-and-tuck battle, to Galax 34-32. The captains of bofh teams, Billy Poe and Dot Sutter, were given places cn the all¬ tournament teams, and Betty Blevins made second team. As we go to press, the Junior and Senior plays have yet to be given, and the music festival, the one-act plays, the literary meet, the track meet, and the Junior-Senior Banquet are to take place. And that everlasting goal. Graduation, will take the sen¬ iors. Will we miss them? Yesl! HERFF-JONES Designers and Manufacturers of SCHOOL AND COLLEGE JEWELRY. GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS. MEDALS. CUPS.
