Poor nerves, a vexing husband, Elizabeth ' s prejudice, Mr. Darcy ' s pride ... all this faced the match-making Mrs. Bennet in the Senior Class dramatization of Jane Austen ' s Pride and Prejudice. The cast for this 19th century drama were: Mrs. Bennet, Martha Ellen Boatwright; Mr. Bennet, her easygoing husband, James Roland; Jane, their gentle daughter, Wan¬ da Westman; Elizabeth, their independent daughter, Eliza Hubble,- Mary, their bookish daughter, Norma Croft; Catherine, their fretful daughter, Josephine Genga,- Lydia, their flirtatious daughter, Bebe Boyd; Mr. Collins, a pompous young clergyman, Marvin Hall; Mr. Bingley, a friendly young man, Clark Groseclose; Miss Bingley, his haughty sister, Cathy Boone,- Mr. Darcy, a proud young man, Ernest LeDuke; Lady Catherine De Bourgh, his overbearing aunt.

A Credit To The Family When your cute, celebrity-crazy, best girl starts changing her front name to suit her ever-changing personality, it ' s pretty hard for a fellow to remain a credit to the family. This delightful, laugh-sparking, three-oct comedy was presented by the M. H. S. Juniors on November 30. Sponsors were Miss Pauline Anderson and Mr. Bradley Stickley. The cast consisted of Dati Thompson as Jerry, the bewildered boyfriend; Jean Rogers as Trudy, his best girl; Molly Testerman and Franklin Murray as Mr. and Mrs. Stone, Jerry ' s parents; Helen Morgan as Helen, and Nellie Repass as Mary Ann, Jerry ' s sisters,- Kendall Hawkins as Jack, Helen ' s boyfriend; Bobbie Lee Rankin as the wealthy Mrs. Tyson; Ronnie Hurt as Robert, her timid son; Jimmy Brisco as the officer; and Don Martin, Frances WaFd, Lynn Cormany, and Anne Wolfenden as Elliot, Jane, Jo, and Mary, friends of Mary Ann. Other members of the Junior Class served on committees. A Backward Glance Despite long searches for four leaf clovers, wishes on the first star, and crossed fingers, school opened September first. After being welcomed back into the big, happy family , we met our new teachers and hurriedly ran through our class schedule. Our efforts to drag through the first week of school were rewarded when on September 8, we played host to Rich Valley in an exciting football game. The Scarlet Hurricane was finally subdued 14-13. Mr. Charles Cooper had a difficult job in molding a group of inexperienced boys into a smooth working football machine. Although losing eight out of nine games the team improved with each contest and showed a rugged determination and invincible spirit. The annual Homecoming celebration was held the week-end of November 26 and 27. Homecoming got off to a bang at the assembly program when the coach and players of Marion ' s 1930 State Championship Team addressed the student body. Excitement ran high at the bonfire and pep rally held on the athletic field. The crowd then jammed the auditorium to see the variety show, Showboat On The Holston, with Captain Charles Cooper at the helm. The snakedance, that followed the show, wound its way down main street to the court house where another pep rally was staged. Saturday, an enthusiastic crowd turned out to view the parade . . . composed of some seventy symbolic, humorous, and original floats. Spirits were dampened when the Hurricane fell to the Mighty Midgets of Abingdon 40-14 in the Homecoming tilt. A bright spot, however, was the crowning of Home¬ coming Queen Imogene Mitchell at halftime of the game. She and her court reigned over the festive dance held in the gym that closed the Homecoming activities. The students of M. H. S. went home tired b ut happy declaring that it was the best Homecoming yet. October 11 and 18 were two unforgettable days in the life of M. H. S. On the 11th Randolph Scott, famous Hollywood star, paid a visit to Marion and enlightened the student body on the movie-making industry. The long awaited class rings arrived the eighteenth, and the class of ' 52 strutted down the halls as proud as peacocks. Marion High acted host to the Holston District Student Cooperative Association on November 10. One hundred and ten delegates from twelve schools participated in the convention centered around the theme Sharing Ideas. Fear griped the hearts of all M. H. S. students when it was learned that Open House for parents would be held in observance of National Education Week. Open House was held November 14 and the students fared better than expected. To give the pupils an opportunity to recuperate from any unfavora ble teacher ' s reports, school was adjourned November 22 and 23 for Thanksgiving holidays. A Credit To The Family, a sparkling three-act comedy, was presented by the Junior Class on November 30. Dan Thompson os Jerry and Jean Rogers as Trudy headed a very capable cast, while Mr. W. B. Stickley proved an excellent director. The basketball teams opened their seasons successfully with a double win over Sugar Grove on December 4. The Hurricanes continued to blow strongly, and the boys finished their season with a 1 1-9 record, while the girls had 11 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie. The highlights of the boys ' season were a 58-57 win over Virginia High and a 41-40 loss to Tazewell in the district tournament. The thriller of the girls ' season was their rally in the final seconds to tie Saitville 57-57. The Christmas Cantata given by Miss Betty Ruff ' s Choral Groups and the Winter Wonderland Dance sponsored by the Y-Clubs provided a gala yuletide atmosphere. Wanda Westman and Clark Groseclose were the royalty at this dance. On December 21, we launched into that glorious eleven day vacation known as Christmas Holidays. Soon after we returned to school on January 2, the midnight oil began to burn brightly. Students began to talk of the approach of doom ' s day. Finally the reason was evident . . . exams!!! Coming from the exam rooms on January 16 with mussed hair, chewed pencils, and frayed nerves the student body took Friday off to recover from the strain. The M. H. S. girls ' basketball team entertained the Marion College team and the women of our faculty tangled with the men in games played in benefit of the March of Dimes. Molly Testerman was crowned queen of the annual F. F. A. and F. H. A. Valentine Dance, February 16. A flu epidemic swept Marion the first two weeks of March and the effects were felt at M. H. S. when some days approximately 250 pupils were absent. Two special attractions occuring near the first of March were the Tri-Hi-Y Carnival and the Beta Club Talent Show. From Five To Five-Thirty, Marion ' s one act play, won a distinguished rating in both the county and district contests, thus enabling them to participate in the state contest at Charlottesville. The boys and gals donned their jeans and calico dresses for the Commercial Club Barn Dance, March 28. The Senior Class presented their dramatization of Jane Austen ' s Pride and Prejudice April 7 and 8. Nineteenth century costumes and setting were used effectively in achieving a professional performance. As we go to press, many spring festivities remain on the horizion,- the literary and forensic contests, the baseball season, the choral group ' s operetta, the track meet, the various club conventions, and the band concert. Of course the Seniors eagerly (yet with a tinge of sadness) await graduation activities . . . Junior-Senior Prom, Baccalaureate Service, and 1+ at long dreamed of goal . . . Commencement! THERE IS A FUTURE IN MANUrACTUPlMG • DESIGNIfNJG • DEVELOPMCMT • RETSEARCU • MERCUAMOISlN)G • EASWIOIM The world’s oldest manufacturing industry—textiles—is today one of our most exciting and challenging industries, producing revolutionary textile products with qualities which men have sought for centuries. Alan- made fibers, new products of the chemist’s test-tube, have been a major contributor to this textile progress. A small textile producer in 1923, Burlington Alills believed in the future of rayon—an early man-made fiber. In the past 28 years Burlington has become a leader in the development and production of beautiful, durable and high-quality filament, spun and knit synthetic fabrics. From one plant with approximately 200 employees, our Company has grown to include 73 manufacturing plants in 43 communities of eight states and four foreign countries. Employing 34 000 people. Burlington is today the world’s largest producer of synthetic fabrics, and it is a recognized leader in the designing, development, research, merchandising and fashion fields as well as manu¬ facturing. If you are a young man or woman looking for a place in industry, we think you should consider textiles—and Burlington. It can hold a bright future for the person with the willingness to learn, ability to work, and the natural interest in this fascinating and competitive field. Executive Offices; Greensboro, N. C.
