Homecoming Queen MOLLY TESTERMAN ■ ■ HOMECOMING COURT These four girls were chosen by the student body by popular vote from the Junior and Senior classes to be the queen ' s court.

I All Together Now You Can ' t Dance Alone I Remember Mama” Make him well again. Mama. Please. You can do it. Such was the faith in the gentle, understanding mother in the two-act play, I Remember Mama, the story of the discouragements and triumphs of an immigrant family living in America in the early twentieth century. This Senior Class presentation was under the direction of Mr. C. A. Wilkinson and Bobbie Lee Rankin, student director. The cast consists of Katrin, Jean Rogers; Mama, Shirley Shannon; Papa, Eller Burton,- Dagmar, Nellie Blackwell; Christine, Marie Blessing,- Mr. Hyde, Leon BeVille,- Nels, Dan Thompson,- Aunt Trina, Barbara Burnside; Aunt Sigrid, Geraldine Jones,- Aunt Jenny, Helen Morgan,- Uncle Chris, Jimmy Brisco,- A Woman, Florence Fray,- Mr. Thorkelson, Bob Crockett; Dr. Johnson, Abe Lincoln; Arne, Carroll Richardson; Nurses, Martha Lindsey and Anne Walfenden,- Soda Clerk, Kendall Hawkins,- Madeline, Lynn Cormany,- Darothy Schiller, Mary Anne Atkins,- Florence Dana Moorehead, Barbara Mercer,- and Bell Boy, Harold Slemp. I Imagine the adventure four kidnapped plane passengers would have at a mysterious lamasary, Shangri-La, where people live to be 150 years old, yet look no older than 30 years. These adventures came to life in the Junior Class production of Lost Horizon, December 4, 1952. The directors were Miss Pauline Anderson and Mr. Mack Sturgill. The cast consisted of Clayborne Gwyn as Glory Conway, British consul in India; Jenny Jo Pruner as Helen Briac, the English girl in the lamasary; Johnny Johnston as Mallison, British vice-consul in India,; Ronnie Cox as Barnard, an American,- Margaret Anderson as Miss Brinklow, a missionary,- Louise Genga as Lo-Tsen, an exquisite Chinese girl; Bobby Simons as Chang, an elderly Chinese man,- Charles Seaver as the High Lama of Shangri-La,- Glenda Stone as Tashi, a Tibetan girl; Willie Pugh as Ai-Ling, a Chinese serving girl; Martha Buchanan, Mildred Robbins, Paul Greer and George Thompson as Myra, Elizabeth, Wyland, and Rutherford, British couples in the prologue and epilogue. Other members of the Junior Class served on committees. Lost Horizon r ■_|T- A Backward Glance School bells beckoned and from our favorite spot at the beach or from our lazy luxury of sleeping late and worrying whether the Dodgers or the Yankees were going to win the pennant, we reluctantly ambled back to school. The schedule of classes leveled dawn to a good beginning,- we were impressed by our new faculty, when — bang! — the Rich Valley Steers dampened aur enthusiasm to the tune of 19-6. However, Marion ' s hard-fighting eleven, smarting from its first defeat and coached by Mr. Charles Coaper, tumbled Graham High of Bluefield and Chilhawie High by an identical score of 21-0 to revive our spirits. On October 1 1 Marion snapped Tazewell ' s 21 consecutive victory record by handing them a 14-8 upset, the mast exciting game af the year. Steamed up by these three victaries the Hurricane smashed William King ' s perfect record on October 24, edging them 7-6 in a savagely-fought battle. To close the season the Big Reds defeated Pocahontas 13-12 to make it six out of nine. All during the season Marion ' s Scarlet Hurricane, to quote its coach, showed more courage than any team I ' ve ever coached. They toppled the top teams and played excellent ball. The annual homecoming excitement grew with the variety shaw on Thursday night, October 30, the pep rally, bonfire and snake dance. Senor Cooper was master af ceremonies and every one agreed that Fiesta was one of the best in a long line of good homecoming shows. Hallowe ' en continued the surge of M.H.S. spirit. Faces drapped on Saturday when Saitville trounced the Marion team 33-6. There are some things we ' d like to forget, but one thing we ' ll re¬ member is that Queen Molly Testerman reigned over the Homecoming Dance that night with her court: Louise Genga, Mary Ann Ingram, Helen Morgan, and Atha Parker. Much excitement was created by the presidential election on November 4. Eisenhower and Stevenson buttons were a part of everyone ' s apparel. In spite of vigorous campaigning even at M. H. S., we all feel that Ike will make a very capable executive. On December 4th, we watched with pride as the juniors presented their class play, Lost Horizon. Everyone commented on the excellent perform¬ ances of the entire cast. Days were checked off on the calendar as Christmas vacation ap¬ proached. Highlighting the holiday festivities was the Winter Wonderland Dance. The Y ' s chose as their royal couple Helen Morgan and Franklin Murray. On January 5 we came to school with thoughts of exams hovering in the future. After this mental strain we welcomed the thought of the Valentine Dance on February 14. Atha Parker was chosen queen by the F. H. A. and reigned with her court composed of Louise Blevins, Reba Catron, Peggy Cullop, Shirley Davis, Doris Kegley and Molly Testerman. Early in November on the heels of Ike ' s election, basketball season had been ushered in. Near the end of February Marion ' s classy five had overcome the opposition, gaining a 22-2 game record to top District VII in regular season play. March 7 was a great day for the Marion quintet as they defeated Honaker to capture the District VII Tournament Championship, thus enabling them to compete in the Group II State Tournament at V. P. I. Something we all hoped for, but few dared to believe, happened in Blacksburg the week-end of March 12-14. William Fleming of Roanoke, Harrisonburg, and finally the Green Wave of Clintwood came down with Scarlet fever, and Marion fans roared as the trophy was presented to Robert Hankins, Marion captain. The cast of The Red Key competed with other schools in the District One-Act Play Contest at Grundy on March 14. They were successful in obtaining a distinguished rating, thus giving them an opportunity to present their play in state competition at Charlottesville. We are looking forward to future events, including the Senior Play, I Remember Mama, to be presented April 30 and May 1. The Junior-Senior Prom will be a highlight of those days and, of course, the Seniors will be looking with delight and regret to that great event on June 1, Graduation Day. iimni II i W0 lW6 V [i -V f V BASTIAN BROTHERS COMPANY ROCHESTER, NEW YORK Serving Marion High with ENGRAVED ANNOUNCEMENTS and NAME CARDS Superior Qgality Class Rings ☆ PAUL A.
