We have chosen as our theme - Through M. H, S. with J. Wesley Wobble. We believe this theme will not only make our annual attractive but be very entertaining to you throughout the entire annual. You will find the lovable little character and his sidekick portraying our theme en¬ gaged in the activities recorded in our yearbook. You will find him introducing the classes with a math book and that startled look, which so many of us had at the beginning of the year. For clubs he has tried to im¬ personate a president. And in sports he organized a three-man football team with Mr. Hurricane and his sidekick. We are deeply appreciative of the help given us by the business of our community by their purchasing of advertisements, without which we could not publish a yearbook. We are indebted to all the people of our community who have aided us by word of encouragement and acts of helpfulness to produce this 1960 HURRICANE. So. . . .if our work has been successful. . . .if our classmates approve the manner in which their activities have been recorded. . . .a tired editor, a weary business manager, and an exhausted staff will be happy. Let ' s take a trip through Marion High School! We will explore all interesting events of the past school year, peek in class rooms and review the memories of high school days! I ' m J. Wesley Wobble and I ' ll show you around, with the help of my left hand man of course; so let ' s get the show on the road!

Page 6 THE ADMINISTRATION PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Marion High School now offers three courses of study: College Preparatory, Commercial, and General. Marion High School offers twenty-one units of work in the academic field, including four units in English, five units in mathematics, four units in science, three units in history, world geography, and two units each in Latin and Spanish; nine units of work in fine arts including two units in art, two units in chorus, two units in band, and one unit in music appreciation; twenty-one units in practical arts including two units in industrial arts, four units in agirculture, three units in home economics, seven units in business education, and two units in distributive education. Within the framework of our offering the administration has planned and worked during the past year to make Marion High School a better school in the following ways: (1) The Principal attended the Virginia Secondary Principal ' s Con¬ ference in Fredericksburg, Virginia in June, 1959, the Virginia Educa¬ tion Association Annual Convention in Richmond, Virginia in October, 1959, and many other similar conferences of a local or regional nature. These conventions helped the administration keep up with current happenings in education on nationwide, statewide and local levels. (2) The administration has made many appearances before civic clubs, P.T.A. groups, church groups, Chamber of Commerce groups, and other groups telling about various school activities. (3) The accelerated program for a group of eighth grade students has been continued. There are two groups of accelerated students. Twenty-six ninth grade students are enrolled in two tenth grade sub¬ jects and twenty-nine eighth grade students are enrolled in ninth grade algebra and ninth grade general science. A report of the progress of these two groups was made to a group of mathematics teachers at the University of Virginia in March, 1960. (4) A special effort was made to help all students work out an individualized study program for the year. This was done during homeroom periods and in some regular class periods. (5) A complete study of failures in the school during first semester was made by parents, students, and teachers. The standard of work throughout the school was raised as a result of this study. (6) An exceptionally well planned pre-regis¬ tration procedure helped the students, parents and teachers, and administration plan the school program for the approaching year. (7) The construction of the new Senior High School has been delayed by foundation problems. The school should be ready for occupancy in September, 1961. MR. J. LEONARD MAUCK M. A.

Social, economic and political factors, as related to our history, are studied through research, map study and audio¬ visual aids thereby giving the student a comprehensive look at all phases of our wonderful American History. Mr. McDonald ' s government class display their booklets. During the year the students have learned about Federal, State, and Local Governments. They keep up with elec¬ tions, and make booklets on state, local, national and international affairs. The students have shown much interest in the related projects and problems. They practice Democracy as they study it. Mrs. Holmes, Linda Pruner, Scott Trent, Janice Murray, and Mary Ellen Killinger watching Donna Haulsee and Ann Whitmore point out some historical landmark. The more that is known of t he past, the fewer mistakes will be made in the present; therefore, a better future will result—this is the purpose of the study of World History. It broadens our out¬ look and widens our scope of humanity. It gives us a cultural background and appreciation for music, art, architectural, drama, religious, and political life. .... And scientific problems Mr. Pafford watches while Joseph Francis, Robert Kelly, Garnet Gambel, and Harold Pruitt, use slide rules and Jerry Sutton, Mac Buchanan, Sammy Russell, Ronald Atkins, Ronald Burnop, and Kay Musser experiment with the electrical kits. Physics satisfied our curiosity about everyday problems. We learn how to use i the scientific method of working out a problem or an experiment. Every member of the class, twenty-four in all, did sev¬ eral experiments with the electrical kits and all have learned to use the slide- rule. The class took an active part in the Smyth County Science Fair. Mr. Brown watches and Dorothy Campbell re¬ cords as Donald Hash, Crump Robinson, Donald Slagle, and Donald Atkins perform an experiment. Chemistry is the study of the composi¬ tion of matter. In our Chemistry class we learn the industrial methods of making gases, liquids and compounds. Experi¬ ments in the Marion High School labora¬ tory lead to individual experimentation and research projects for science fair competition. Jo Ann Taylor, Kirk Spitzer, Janet Francis, Paula Hicks, Bill Mayden, and Linda Wyatt find Biology interesting. The biology class is designed to make the study a challenging and richly re¬ warding experience in science. A syste¬ matic study of plants, animals, and man is made to show the unity of life and re¬ lationship of all living things. A work¬ book is used to stimulate group investi¬ gations and individual projects are de¬ veloped for local, county, and district fairs. Page 59 We become mathematicians.... Page 60 Shelby Jean Marchant lists the last stock mar¬ ket quotations as given by Ellavene Powell under the direction of Mr. Wilson. General business is designed to give the student information concerning busi¬ ness. He studies distribution, transpor¬ tation, communication, budgeting, and business procedures. From these studies, the student can better determine for what phase of business he or she is best qualified. Linda Snider, Denton Cormany, Elizabeth Brooks, Joe Mauck, Patricia Elkins, Georgia Dutton, Gayla Belcher, Frances Tindall, and Lacurgas Forrest work as Mr. Earp instructs. Algebra is a language. This math¬ ematics structure has been established and improved for over three thousand years. The students at Marion High School who are taking Algebra II will become the mathematicians of tomorrow. They will be the ones to improve the language. In an Algebra II class, the students learn the fundamentals needed in all mathematics above the level of arithmetic. Plane Geometry seems interesting to Mary Ann Jennings, Susan Huchinson, Marilyn Anderson, Betty Pugh, Donald Wechsler, Roger Copenhaver, and Miss Diggs. In plane Geometry the students have learned the parts and the properties of the different geometric figures. They have proved exercises and simultane¬ ously developed their thought processes through the emergence of a proof from the stage of what is given to the final conclusion of what has been proved. Over a period of six weeks, they kept a notebook, including in it formal proofs ond brief exercises. At the end of the study of a chapter on construction, each student made original designs using the methods of construction learned. Through oral explanation at the board, the stu¬ dents have become able to express their own ideas as well as learned informa¬ tion before a group. They have deve¬ loped poise and confidence in the realm of self-expression as the result of the study of Plane Geometry. They have cultivated the ability to think soundly and logically which will be an asset in every phase of their future lives. ....And English Scholars Sammy Russell, Susan Mink, Georgia Lauridson, Ronald Burnop, Charlene Jones, and Thomas Casteel enjoy literature and term papers. The senior English course taught by Mrs. Schulz is a correlated combination of English literature, composition, and grammar which is continuous throughout both semesters of the school year. Re¬ search papers and book reports on sel¬ ected classics from English literature serve to augment this outline of study. Mr. Hankla, Edward David Blevins, Hugh Scott, Herbert Luquer, diagram sentences. Duke, Lynn Groseclose, Gwyn watch as Carol and Annette McDonald The first semester of Junior English was devoted to a detailed study of grammar, composition, spelling, and vocabulary building. Our weekly themes concerned various subjects as we developed a list of words and phrases we were not to use. The literature of the United States, vocabulary building and composition, along with the last of eight book re¬ ports, as well as a term paper on our chosen career proved to be beneficial. Yes, this was our second semester in Junior English! Georgia Dutton, Mary Ellen Killinger, Linda Pruner, Elizabeth Brooks, Doris Sherwood, Betty Box, Jack Frye, Sandra Wheeler, Donna Haul- see, Carolyn O Donnell, and Carolyn Haga learn sentence structure under the guidance of Mrs. McReynolds. They study EXPLORING LIFE THROUGH LITERATURE, and report on at least six selected books. Their gram¬ mar consists of the fundamentals of pro¬ per identification of the parts of speech and grammatical composition. Much time is given to writing short themes. Page 6 We became artists n bf 4 mMmmm W m mm f i i rr ■ S ; ■ . Joyce Blankenblecker, Marvin Groseclose, Rebecca Barnett, Ronald Burnop, and Betty Mauck per¬ fect their act as Kay Musser and James Ritter direct. Since development of personality and character is so important to education, and since the actor ' s medium is himself- voice, body, mind, senses and emotions- all speech and dramatics training must be directed toward personal improve¬ ment. These things we attempt to do by reading, interpreting and criticizing scenes and plays, by exercises in enun¬ ciation, voice and posture, by practic¬ ing the casting of characters and read¬ ing a variety of parts. Speaking before the group is a vital part of training also. Joyce Blankenbeckler plays while Mr. Waddell, Larry Wood, Frank Blevins, Patricia Spencer, and Dorothy Campbell sing. In music classes students learn about music history, to appreciate good music of the past and present; and in chorus, the techniques of producing music. They learn to perform together and individu¬ ally, for other schools, State Chorus, and community organizations. Music is learning and entertainment for perform¬ ers and audience. Mrs. Linkous instructs artists Dorothy Watson, Evangeline Killinger, Lee Stoots, Juanita Burnop, Vernon Stanley, and Thomas Casteel. The students who plan to make art their career and those who are taking art for their own personal use, find they get valuable experience through their varied activities in art class. They are busy with costers, backdrops, study of art appreciation, exhibits, and all types of artwork for many of the civic organizations in our town. Page 62 And linguists Jerry Walls, Kirk Spitzer, Anna Sharp, Ann Whitmore, and Janet Francis learning Latin. In our first year classes we translate stories about the gods and goddesses of ancient Rome. We learn the basic fun¬ damentals of Latin which will enable us to go into the second year of Latin. In Latin Club we supplement our class work by learning Latin songs, discussing Latin customs and dress, and making reports on Romans we have studied. Mr. Julca and Barbara Dancy record a story in Spanish as Elizabeth Greer, Dorothy Shupe, Anne Williams, Patricia Elkins, Janice Murray, Judith Dancy, Betty French and Helen Heath look on. The Spanish Department is our high school ' s window to the Spanish speak¬ ing world. Through it we have seen much of our neighbors ' way of life. We have read their stories, played their music, sung their songs, we have even written to Latin American students! In class we attempt not only to write and read but also to speak entirely in Span¬ ish. At the first meeting of the Latin Club, Cohors Caesaris, we elected officers. Our Club membership is in the National and State Junior Classical Leagues. Throughout the first semester the pro¬ grams were prepared in Latin and in English. During the Holiday Seasons, Saturnalia was observed in one pro¬ gram while A Study of Romance Lan¬ guages was observed in another. Every¬ one enjoyed these meetings. At Christ¬ mas, our Latin club presented a needy family with a nice basket of food. For our second semester, projects such as essays, tournaments, etc. were plan¬ ned. Most of the students desired a Roman banquet rather than individual projects for Latin Week in April. Our officers: Consul, proconsul, Praetor, and quaestor worked with Miss Elizabeth Neff, our sponsor, on various programs during the year. Jo Ella Hall, Elizabeth Brooks, Matilda Copen- haver, Patsy Funk, and Frances Tindall sing for Latin Club. Page 63 Our study of vocations • • • • C. 1 . Schuler, Paul Snavely, and Douglas Hen- derlite display projects made in industrial arts. Industrial arts is a part of general edu¬ cation dealing with the tools, materials, and processes of industry. The student in industrial arts selects, often designs, and always makes drawings of his project. In building his project he learns about tools, materials, and how they are used. When a project is finished he has a finished piece of furniture or equipment plus new skills and information. Mrs. Werth dictates and her second year short¬ hand class show their skill. Shorthand is given primarily to pre¬ pare students for secretarial jobs upon graduation. At the end of the year, first year students are expected to be able to take five minutes of unfamiliar dictation at sixty words a minute, and some girls attain a speed of ninety words a minute. The rate at the end of the second year must be ninety words a minute, and some students reach 120 words. In short¬ hand 1 1 students learn to transcribe their notes into mailable letters. This year twenty-four girls are com¬ pleting Shorthand II. The awards show that the F. F. A. has been busy. The members pictured are; Richard Sikes, Elbert Carrico, William McCellan, Troy McFarlane, Will¬ iam Maiden, Willis Richardson, William Stowers, and Wesley Hoover. Typing I acquaints the student with the basic techniques necessary for mas¬ tering the correct procedures to be used in personal and office style typewriting. Competitive skill drills are taken and artistic typewriting is practiced. Re- auirements at the end of the first year are 30 net words on three and five mi- ute timed writings. Typing II is primarily for those stu¬ dents who wish to pursue a career in Business Education. It offers a thorough study of office-practice typewriting through business letters, legal documents, financial statements, etc. This prepares the students for a local secretarial posi¬ tion or furnishes the fundamentals nec¬ essary for higher training in this field. Fifty net words on five and seven min¬ ute writing are the basic requirements for speed. Mr. Edens instructs Randall Wright, Donald Keg- ley, Elizabeth Fishel, Brian Helmick, Alvin Wassum, Anna Stowers, Emmaline Blevins, Thelma Good- pasture, Scott Laughon, Lynn Barret, and Richard Waddel in good typing procedures. Page 64 .... Added spice Mr. Wilson ' s D. E. class look on as Peggy Rich¬ ardson and Shirley Anderson point out a vital personality trait, Self-Confidence. The classroom instruction in D. E. is tied-in directly with the work experi¬ ence of the students. Shirley Anderson and Peggy Richardson present a flannel board presentation of personality traits required of D. E. students and employ¬ ees. Much actual experience is gained through the D. E. Club. One outstanding project this year was the making of the decorations used by the merchant ' s asso¬ ciation. These included wreaths and streamers for the streets. Classroom in¬ struction, club contests and projects, and on-the-job training help the D. E. stu¬ dent to find a profession in distribution. Mechanical drawing at Marion High is designed primarily for those who are going to college to major in some field of engineering. Types of drawings covered are: princi¬ ples of size and shape description, ortho¬ graphic projection, sectioning, perspec¬ tive, oblique, and isometric. Barton Sprinkle, Dennis Aker, Joseph Hoofnagle, James Ritter, Ronald Winebarger, and Donald Kegley display talent in Mechanical Drawing, while Mr. Vicars watches. to our activities Betty Mauck, Norma Hall, Mrs. Dillard, and Sharon Hutton wrap muffins for the freezer. There are ten classes daily in Home Economics including two exploratory classes for eighth graders. Units of work include not only food preparation but work in all areas of homemaking such as contributing to happy family life, caring for and guiding the growth of children, caring for the sick, planning and improving family housing and home furnishings and developing family rec¬ reati on. The girls assist with planning and serving refreshments for dances, col¬ lege career night, and other school acti¬ vities. Bai rbara Doyle, Roy Martin, Linda Wolfe, David Dis hner. and Joe Hutton sh ow their first year art work The students in first year art class learn the basic techniques of drawing and painting. They are instructed in the use of the different mediums— pencil, crayon, charcoal, pastels, tempra, water color and oils. Art appreciation is also included in their study. The work done in Art I gives a foun¬ dation for the students planning to take Art II and also a working knowledge of art for those students who plan to take only one year of art.

An imaginary trip to an Oriental Isle was en¬ joyed by students of the Junior and Senior Class¬ es of Marion High and their dates, at the annual Junior-Senior Prom on Saturday, May 7, 1960. Shades of blue and pink crepe paper inter¬ spersed with yellow made a canopy which com¬ pletely covered the dance floor. From this canopy, Japanese Icnterns with multi-colored bulbs were strung. Oriental windchimes completed the over¬ head decorations. At one end of the gym, a bronze-colored Bud¬ dha with flashing eye and jeweled forehead sur¬ veyed the scene. Beside the Buddha, water rose from a fountain, falling into a misty pool. A Jap¬ anese doorman, complete with gong, heralded the arrival of each couple. Tables around the dance floor were placed on artificial grass. Each was covered with a white cloth, and a miniature oriental fan and lantern served as decorations. A flat bowl of lilacs backed with a huge gold¬ en oriental fan arrayed the refreshment table with several Japanese dolls completing the picture. Punch and fortune cookies highlighted the re¬ freshments. These were complimented by assorted cookies, nuts, and mints. Romantic and enjoyable music was furnished throughout the evening by the Lampliters. Page 7 4 Senior Play The cast of “The Darling Brats just before the Friday night performance.

Second Row; Coach Charles Harkins, Coach Ray Chapman, Co-captain Joe Thompson, Co¬ captain Lee Stoots, Coach Arnold McReynolds, Coach William Earp. The Scarlet Hurricane started the 1959 season with a young, inexperienced squad with only seven seniors on hand. Co-captained by Joe Thompson and Lee Stoots, the team showed the fans a thrilling season. Seniors, Bur¬ ton Eller, Donald Atkins, William Bergeron, Jerry Sutton, Marion 12 Graham 6 Marion defeated the 1958 Southwest District champion Graham with a 12-6 victory in Bluefield. Halfback Frank Blevins scored the first touchdown and junior fullback Robert Graybeal carried the ball over for the second score. Marion 32 Rich Valley 0 In the second game the Hurricane continued victorious with a rousing 32-0 win over the Steers. Donald Hash was the first to score for Marion on a pass thrown by Ronald Bales. Edward Bales ran 65 yards for the second score and Charles Fowler caught Frank Blevins ' pass for the third. Lee Stoots kicked the extra point. In the second half David Dishner scored and Raymond Odum wound up scoring for Marion with a 62 yard run with Stoots kicking the extra point. Marion 32 Chilhowie 6 At Chilhowie Marion handed the Warriors a 32-6 defeat. Again Franklin Blevins led the scoring department with Ray¬ mond Odum, who scored two touchdowns, Joe Thompson, and John Davis rounding out the score. Marion 0 Richlands 6 Coach Ernie Hicks ' Blue Tornado upset Marion for the first loss of the season winning over Marion by a hard- won 6-0. Marion 6 Bristol 7 The Bristol Bearcats retaliated for last year ' s defeat with a fourth quarter 7-6 victory over the Scarlet Hurricane. Marion ' s score came when little Franklin Blevins dived over the goal late in the third quarter. Franklin Blevins, Joe Thompson, and Lee Stoots turned in good performances to end their high school football careers. Outstanding on defense, Lee Stoots, Eller and Atkins were the mainstays in holding the opponents to low score or entirely scoreless throughout the season. Marion 7 Tazewell 13 Tazewell defeated Marion by 13-7 in one of the most thrilling games of the season. Robert Graybeal accounted for the Hurricane touchdown with Raymond Odum adding the point after touchdown. Marion 13 Grundy 0 Grundy ' s Golden Wave went down to a 13-0 defeat at the hands of the Hurricane. Joe Thompson scored the first touchdown while Raymond Odum carried Thompson ' s pass over for the second. Stoots converted for the 13th point. Marion 13 Abingdon 0 On a field of ankle-deep mud and in pouring rain Marion gave the homecoming fans a 13-0 victory over Abingdon. Crump Robinson recovered an Abingdon fumble which Frank Blevins soon after carried for Marion ' s first score. Bales passed to Bales for the extra point. Edward Bales ran 56 yards to give Marion its final score for the night. Marion 0 Wytheville 14 At Wytheville in the mud again Marion bogged down and George Wythe scored a 14-0 victory over the water¬ logged Hurricane. Marion 0 Saltville 13 To end a five-five season, Marion suffered defeat at the hands of the Shakers at Saltville in freezing cold weather. Page 80 DALLAS CHURCH WILLIAM TESTERMAN EDWARD BALES H. B.

The Scarlet Hurricanettes began another basketball sea¬ son with around fifty girls ready to try their luck. Training and try-outs began the last of November. A few stragglers dropped by the way-side during this time. The number was finally narrowed down to the fifteen for the Varsity Team.

Marion 13 Wallace 24 The final game of the season saw the Hurricanettes lose to the refreshed Wallace team. This game showed a slump in offens ive and in defensive work. The team realized that one cannot be a winner all the time.

Student Cooperative The Student Cooperative Association is a live and working organization at Marion High School. During the past year, the association has ac¬ complished many projects. The S. C. A. has sponsored the following pro¬ jects during the school year: A sale of textbooks at the beginning of the year, the annual Home¬ coming Dance, the March of Dimes campaign, sending representatives to the district and state S.C.A. conventions, and the donation of blood by parents to the Blood Mobile. Various other activities were also carried out. The S . C. A. revised the Honor Code, and a complete week was devoted to the passing out and signing. An assembly program was present¬ ed, introducing the revised code to the student body. Perhaps the most important of all these pro¬ jects was the cooperation of the S. C. A. with the faculty in installing and carrying out the new discipline system. It consisted of a Discipline Com¬ mittee made up of faculty members and students. The purpose of this committee was to help the student understand his discipline problems and to guide him in the right way. It is the only system in this area of that type. Two projects which were worked on very hard this year but not completed were the student activity ticket and the point system for giving an award to an outstanding senior. Association Page 98 Beta Club This year the Marion High School Beta Club can boast of being one of the largest in the state of Virginia. The projects the club has completed this year are as follows: It sold drive-in tickets, de¬ corated cars for the Homecoming parade, sold stationery, and bouaht Christmas seals. Also, there was a Beta Club breakfast just before the closing of school. The members of the club participated and had special guests. In March, the Beta Club sent seven dele¬ gates to the National Beta Club Convention. This year it was held in Roanoke. The Beta Club was in charge of the assembly program for American Education Week. The motto of the club is Let us lead by ser¬ ving others.

The organization gave the following programs the first semester; Thanksgiving, November 25, and the Christmas Assembly on December 18. The Chorus presented a Christmas concert at the Southwestern State HosDital, and it sang for the East End Baptist Church on December 13. Also, the Chorus gave a Chorus radio program at Christmas. These performances given the first semester were under the direction of Mr. Ralph W. Logan, Minister of Music at the Marion Baptist Church. Mr. Charles Waddell succeeded Mr. Logan the remainder of the year and lead the Chorus in the annual spring concert.

It has built, set up, and painted the stage set¬ tings for the Junior and Senior plays.

In addition, the club helped decorate for the Homecoming Dance, the Junior-Senior Prom, and supervised the recorded music for these and the other school dances.

I Senior Science Club During this school year, the Senior Science Club has sponsored the high school Science Fair on March 7th and helped to sponsor the annual County Fair held in the Marion gymnasium on March 18, 19, and 20. All winners in this fair were sent to the West¬ ern Virginia Science Fair, which was held at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia, on April 9. Other activities included a field trip. The Science Club expenses come from the mem¬ bership dues. Page 114 Junior Science Club The club was divided into six divisions: Biology, Astronomy, Geology, Chemistry, Physics, and Rocketry. Each member chose a division in which to participate. A division was responsible for a program each month, and a committee appointed by the president aided them. The club was honored during the year to have several guest speakers who talked on perpetual motion, dreams, and science projects. The big project of the year was the Science Fair in Salem, which was attended by 40 mem¬ bers of the Junior Science Club. The purpose of this meeting was to help members with science projects next year.

Backward Glance On August 31, more than 890 students began the school year of 1959-60. To the eighth graders it was a wonderful new experience. To the fresh¬ men, sophomores, and juniors it was another year of studying, fun, and excitement, but to the seniors, it was the beginning of the year they would remember the rest of their lives, their sen¬ ior year at Marion High School. Football season opened with a 12-6 victory over Graham. The Scarlet Hurricane football team ended with a five-five record for the ' 59 season. College Career Night, held on November 10, cnswered a lot of questions for students from Chilhowie, Saltville, Marion, Rich Valley, and Sugar Grove. Many students went home with a better understanding of what their future held for them. On October 4, Juanita Burnop was crowned Queen of the Apple Festival held annually at Chilhowie. One of the happiest days for the seniors was the arrival of the senior rings on October 14th. The Variety Show with the theme of Showtime ' 59 began the homecoming activities October 22. A parade was held before the game between Marion and Abingdon. Marion won by a score of 13-0 despite a downpour of rain. Rebecca Bar¬ nett was crowned homecoming queen preceding the homecoming dance held October 24. On November 20, the Junior Class presented a three act comedy, Look Behind You . Betsy Sanders and Richard Waddell starred in the lead¬ ing roles along with a fine cast of others. The Hi-Y Clubs sponsored the Christmas Dance December 12, with Marie Wassum and Freddie Barker reigning as King and Queen. The Christmas holidays were welcomed on Friday, December 18, but the new year of 1960 came too soon as we returned to school on Janu¬ ary 3 to prepare for the mid-term exams. The Valentine Dance, sponsored by the F.H.A. and F.F.A., was held February 15 to the theme Heart of My Heart . Dorothy Perkins and James Buchanan were crowned King and Queen of Hearts. Our basketball teams, coached by Miss Violet Testerman and Mr. Charles Harkins, ended with a record of 12-9 for the boys ' team and 13-1 for the girls ' . Everyone was proud of them. Another enjoyable ballgame was the Senior- Faculty Game held on March 22. The Darling Brats was the title of the senior comedy play held on April 28 and 29. The play was a big success with Dorothy Perkins and Mar¬ vin Groseclose in the starring roles. A vacation no one had planned on came dur¬ ing the months of February and March due to the heavy snowfall that fell on Southwestern Virginia. On May 18, the seniors went to Washington after hard work from everyone on the Christmas cards, the Senior-Faculty Game, and drive-in tic¬ kets. The last months of the school year held many memorable events such as the Easter vacation, band concerts, baseball games, track meets, and the Junior-Senior Prom. But the biggest day for the seniors was GRADUATION DAY on June 6. We as graduates of Marion High School feel a deep sense of pride in the work we have achieved during the past five years. Many of us have made lasting friendships, which have meant a great deal to us. Now we are on our own, fac¬ ing the big world outside these walls with great zeal and anticipation, but our fondest memories will always remain at our beloved Alma Mater.

Both jobs required much controversy and debate, because we wanted the best for our M.H.S. yearbook. After doing this we were able to start to work on our individual sections. The staff would like to make one last remark as this school year draws to a close. We hope you enjoy the annual as much as we enjoyed producing it. The newly elected annual staff began work on this 1960 HURRICANE at their first meeting in October of 1959. Last year ' s assistants , for the first time, realized how much work producing an annual required, but they already knew how much fun was mixed with work; so they were ready and willing to begin. We worked hard for a good eight months, but we feel it has not been in vain. The staff feels that they have given the students and teachers an annual which they will forever cherish and appreciate. The staff deserves a lot of credit for the wonderful job they have done, but we all felt that our greatest reward would come when we could read our completed annual from cover to cover. To our wonderful sponsors, Mrs. Gordon Linkous and Mr. Fred Me Donald, we owe much gratitude and appreciation for their help, guidance, and patience. We would also like to extend our thanks to the Howard-Duckett Company for their work in putting out the 1960 HURRICANE.
