We hope that as you turn these pages, all your memories of the school year will reappear. We have chosen as our theme — THE CHALLENGE OF THE NEW. Our new school offers us numerous advantages; moreover, the school presents us a challenge. This challenge is to prepare ourselves to face the future, well equipped with knowledge and understanding. Throughout our annual you will see a rocket ship — symbolizing the new challenges of today. To all the business establishments who aided us by purchasing advertise¬ ments, we extend heartfelt thanks.

Marion Senior High School offers twenty-two units of work in the academic field, including five units in English, ix units in mathematics, four units in science, three units in history, world geography, and two units each in Latin and Spanish; eleven units of work in fine arts including two units in art, four units in chorus, four units in band, and one unit in music appreciation; seventeen units in practical arts including two units in industrial arts, four units in agriculture, three units in home economies, one unit in mechanical drawing and seven units in business education. Within the framework of our offering the ad¬ ministration has planned and worked during the past year to make Marion Senior High School a better school in the following ways: (1 ) The Principal attended the National Education Association Annual Convention in Atlantic City. New Jersey in June, 1961; the Virginia Education Association Annual Convention in Richmond, Virginia in October, 1961, and many other similar conferences of a local or regional nature. These conventions helped the administration to 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) There are now four groups of accelerated students. Next year students from the first group of accelerated students will enroll in two or three new advanced courses. (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 preregistration procedure helped the students, parents and teachers; and administration planned the school program for the approaching year. (7) The students and faculty are now working in the new Senior High School building. The school was divided into a Junior High School and a Senior High School. This division has made it pos¬ sible for the schools to serve the students and community in a very effective manner. r. Howard W. Williams A. Milligan College .A.

References to everyday experiences serve well to introduce the student to physics. In this way the study is made by relating the students interest and experience. Be¬ ginning with ancient man’s quest for measurement, the course of study is com¬ pleted with modren atomic physics and its effects on man’s development. Mr. Hoyer instructs his physics students as they do experimental projects. Chemistry The word “new” describes the Chemistry department at Marion Senior High Sehool this year. The students have at their dis¬ posal a new r combination of class room and laboratory. The laboratory is equiped with the latest equipment and material. A new power panel is used to supply variable amounts of electrical current to each individual student’s desk. The op¬ portunity for learning Chemistry is great¬ ly increased by the use of these new facilities. Be careful and don’t burn yourself,” says Mr. Cox to his Chemistry students, — v Biology The science of biology today is not the same science of fifty, twenty-five, or even ten years ago. Today’s accelerated pace of research, aided by new instruments, tech¬ niques, and points of view, imparts to biology a rapidly changing character as discoveries pile one on top of the other. Biological principles are applied to the study of life—plant life, animal life, and the life of human beings. The laboratory workbook provides logically organized investigations for the development of each topic. The laboratory work is greatly enriched this year with new equipment and facilities. Each student does a science project for the local fair according to his interest and ability. The Biology students are intently watching Peter Grisson instruct the class. 64 as well as social problems Government During tlie year tlie students learn much about federal, state, and local govern¬ ment. We see how “compromise” is necessary at home and in international affairs. We have kept up with local, state, and foreign affairs. The students practice democracy as they study it. The Government class is working hard on their lesson. Harkins explains the tactics of the Battle of Bull Run to his history students. U. S. and Virginia History We study American and Virginia history to learn not only achievements of the American people of the past but also of mistakes that men made so we won’t make the same mistakes in the future. It is hoped that the pupil will grasp an understanding and an appreciation of the greatness of his country that will help him to become a more active and patri¬ otic citizen. In addition to the regular requirements, the students were required to have a term paper on some phase of the Civil War as well as keeping a note¬ book on all elections up to 1960. World History World History attempts to help us face the host of problems that confront us. Each of these problems has roots in the past. Thus, by understanding the past, we hope to be able to cope with the present and the future. The importance of the cultures of the past-Egyptian, Greek, and Roman, the Re¬ formation, the Age of Revolutions, and the rivalries of world powers are studied in detail in relation to their effect on the world today. ' What’s so funny? asks Mr. Hankla of his World History class. we studied academic math Trigonometry Trigonometry is a one-half year course designed to develop from the acute angle to the right triangle and then on to the general angle. Numerical trigonometry is presented as the practical side of the course and allows the student to develop many computational skills. We terminate the course with a study of identities and trigonometric equations. Plane Geometry In our mathematics laboratory (one of only six in the nation), the study of plane geometry is made more interesting and less difficult. Students learn the different kinds of geometric figures and the charac¬ teristics of each one. Each student has a complete drawing set to use in making constructions. Through oral explanations at the board, the students developed poise and self-confidence as well as the ability to express themselves before a group. Miss Diggs’ Plane Geometry students are hard at work studying the various angles. Mr. Earp explains the steps of working algebraic equations to his students. Algebra The algebra classes set up at Marion Senior High School are two year courses. One is merely a continuation of the other. In first year, the student concentrates on learning the basic fundamentals and un¬ derstanding the language expressed. The second gives deeper problems and there is more theory. The classes are enriched by the new math laboratory and facilities. These helped the student to see more clearly the problems he faces. 66 and commercial math Bookkeeping Bookkeeping offers tlie l� ;isic procedures to be applied in keeping records system¬ atically and accurately. Good penmanship and neatness are stressed as students learn the impor tance of written records to an individual or to a business concern. High school bookkeeping is a stepping stone to a possible career in accounting. Mrs. Overbay explains the principles of bookkeeping. What ' s so funny about the study of General Business, Mrs. Worth? General Business The purpose of the general business course is to give the students an understanding of the nature of business in everyday life. This gives - the student understanding and knowledge and helps him to appreciate such services as banking, insurance, credit, transportation, and communication. 67 we mastered our own language Eddie Dutton instructs the class on the writing of satire. Senior English Senior English is a review of the funda¬ mentals of English grammar as well as instruction in the techniques of written composition. In addition, the course offers a survey of English literature, augmented by book reports on selected English classics and research papers on subjects related to that field of literature. Junior English In Junior English, one semester is spent studying American literature and the outstanding authors of each period so that the students might gain a better understanding of himself and his heritage. The other semester is spent reviewing the parts of speech, learning more involved grammatical structure, paragraph building, and spelling. Vocabulary building for read¬ ing and interpreting as well as oral usage is stressed throughout the year. Ten book reports, mostly American classics, such as Nathaniel Haw¬ thorne’s The Scarlet Letter, are required for each junior. To help guide the students in choosing a career, another project assigned to the juniors is a term paper dealing with the vocation of his choice. Mrs. Echols instructs the class on diagraming. Sophomore English Alternating units in grammar and literature constitutes the program for English II. In grammar special emphasis is placed on the recognition and punctuation of the different types of sentences, and relationships in a sen¬ tence by diagraming. Many interesting experiences are shared in the study of short stories, poetry, biographies, George Eliot’s Silas Marner, and Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. An autobiography, a research paper and oral reports are special projects for the theme and reading requirements. 68 as well as foreign languages Freshman English Ninth grade English is divided into two livisions ot study. Two of the six weeks periods are spent studying literature .vhieh includes short stories, poetry, Irama, legends, and folk songs. Four six .veeks periods are spent on a compre- lensive study of grammar, including all arts of speech, phrases and clauses, con- ugation of verbs, and diagramming sen- ences. Hook reports, creative writing, md spelling constitute the remainder of ur work. Mrs. Courtney explains the literature chapter to her class Latin atin at Marion Senior High School is a vo year course. In first year Latin, the udents translate stories about the gods id goddesses of ancient Roman history, hey learn the basic fundamentals of atin which would enable them to go to second year Latin. In second year, the main emphasis is aeed upon Caesar’s Commentaries. Iiese tell of his Gallic Wars, his deal- gs with the Germans, and other prob- ms in the state of Rome. The Twelve ibors of Hercules is also studied. Cul- re notebooks are kept on the countries that period. Miss Neff teaches the students the translation of their Latin lesson. CIITIITIIS menu Spanish The aim of the Spanish Department at Marion Senior High School is to build a foundation for the Spanish language. When a student has completed two years of Spanish, he should have a speak¬ ing knowledge so that he could make himself understood in any Spanish speak¬ ing country. After two years, a student is fully prepared for Intermediate College Spanish. It is hoped that the student will continue the study of Spanish after high school. In addition to studying the mechanics of the language, the student is exposed to the culture, literature, and history of the Spanish people. Miss Gates helps her students translate Spanish. 69 we studied vocations Mechanical Drawing In mechanical drawing the students learn how to use the basic tools of the drafts¬ man—“T” square, triangle, scale, and compass. More important than the use of the above is the understanding of the different kinds of drawings and the theory and basis of. their construction. The course is designed for those students who intend to major in some field of engi¬ neering in college. Mr. Vicars helps the students with their drawings. Mr. Vicars instructs his students on the building of furniture. Industrial Arts Industrial Arts is learning and doing. It is a part of general education dealing with the tools, materials, and processes of industry. In the shop classes, the stu¬ dent works with wood and metal. The systematic planning of a project, both individual and as a group, is stressed. The student learns about some of the different kinds of jobs and occupations that make up our industrial democracy. Agriculture The Agriculture Department provides students with training and experience in agriculture leadership, cooperation, recre¬ ation, citizenship community service, and supervised farming. The recommended methods of producing crops and live¬ stock are also taught. A portion of the time is spent in farm mechanics learning shop skills which can be applied to the home farm situation. 70 and commercial courses Typing Typing I not only teaches the student the basic techniques and skills necessary for personal typing, but also prepares him for advanced business courses and future office work. Competitive drills as well as problem work are used to “spur” the student to a minimum of thirty words per minute; some reach as many as sixty words per minute. In typing II the minimum speed requirement is fifty words per minute. Upon the completion of this course, the student is capable of performing any typing duties that he might encounter in today’s modern office. Mrs. Tester dictates as the students copy in .shorthand. Shorthand Shorthand I deals with the basic alphabet and word families of shorthand. This class is the foundation upon which the various speeds are built. First year stu¬ dents may range in speed from sixty to one hundred twenty words per minute, based on five minutes of dictation. These courses are enjoyable as well as essential for personal and business reasons. Office Practice Office Practice is the newest addition to the Business Department. It offers modern, up-to-date facilities which enable students to become acquainted with con¬ ditions which would be found in an actual business office. The students are informed on how to operate office ma¬ chines by routine practice on the adding machine, rotary calculator and electric typewriter, the dictaphone, duplicating and mimeograph machine, and by filing material alphabetically, numerically, and geographically. Mrs. Overbey explains the procedures of office practice. 71 we became artists Art The art experiences a student has in class teaches him a great range of human qualities from appreciation of beauty, both man made and in nature, to per¬ sonal integrity. Here he has the oppor¬ tunity to express himself in the various arts and is encouraged to take advantage of them, to discover and develop special talents and abilities, to experience and appreciate aesthetic values, to apply the principles of art and beauty to daily living, and to be aware of the importance of the arts in community living. The art classes have taken an active part in projects for the community such as exhibits, poster work, back drops, etc. They have contributed much to the school activities. The art students busy at work drawing and molding. Choral The choral class meets every day of the week for a fifty minute rehearsal. There is one credit given and an evaluation of the students work is studied. There is time alloted for attention to the vocal problems of the student and coaching the student in the art of accompanying. Ade¬ quate funds are provided for the use of the department by the sale of football programs every fall, through the coopera¬ tion of the athletic department. The stu¬ dents are always being encouraged to make the music program a four year course. The choral class sings a pretty melody. Speech ami Dramatics The chief objectives in this class are vocabularly development, overcoming self-consciousness, building self-confi¬ dence, and developing within the stu¬ dent a liking for oral expression as well as an awareness of its increasing impor¬ tance.

Their projects during the year were a Thanksgiving and an Easter program given to their school. 129 backward glance i ■ i i 1C °P® n n S school for the year 1961-1962 was no ordinary year for the students of our high school, because we entered Marion Senior High School for the first time. Coach Earp and his hard-fighting eleven traveled across the mountain to Graham for our first football game of the season, September 1, only to be trounced by a score of 42-12. How¬ ever, with the spirit of the cheerleaders and the crowd, they did better the next game. ’e afternoon of October 2, the seniors of MSHS were bursting at their seams. What • The class rings had arrived. At last the twelve long years of waiting seemed worthw hile. The annual Homecoming weekend began Thursday night, October 19, when the students presented “Hurricane Fun For ’61,” the annual variety show. On Saturday night, October 21, fol lowing a short parade, our faces dropped when we were defeated by the Falcons of Abingdon by a score of 26-7. However, they were brightened at half-time when Mary Ellen Killinger was crowned our Homecoming Queen for 1961. Due to heavy rains our game had to be played on Saturday night, followed by our dance, “Hurricane Fun For ’61,” with Mary Ellen and her court reigning. Once again on November 3, our “big-red” traveled across the mountain to Saltville, fought hard, but returned with a defeat by a score of 33-12. This wound up the season with the record being 4-6. Coach Harkins and his boys got off to a flying start on December 5 when they defeated Saltville 76-54 in the first basketball game of the season. The girls won by a score of 50-43. The boys ended the season with a record of 17-6, and the girls’ record was 15-2. The band students chose Linda Snider and Mike Bailey to reign over their annual band dance for 1961. The Junior Class presented “The Worm Shall Squirm” on December 8, starring Joe Hutton, Marcy Hall, Anne Barker, and Archie Stoots. This was a hilarious comedy which everyone enjoyed. Finally the Christmas holidays arrived. The big highlight of the festivities was the dance, “Happy Holidays,” presented by the Y-Clubs on December 16 with Linda Pruner and Joe Mauck reigning as royal king and queen. On December 19, after a fine hour of Christmas music by the band and chorus, school was dismissed until January 3, 1962. The thoughts of examinations were hovering over our heads when we returned to the familiar sights. They were given on January 16, 17 and 18. Whether we passed or failed, we vowed to do better next semester. “Sweetheart of ’62” was held on February 10 by the FHA and FFA in the school cafeteria. The dance was highlighted by the crowning of Queen Judy Arnold and King Troy McFarlane by the king and queen of 1961, Carole Wassum and David Dishner. The finest ball game “East of Denver” was presented on February 27 between the seniors and the faculty of MSH.S. The scores were in favor of the faculty, but, nevertheless, it was enjoyment for all. Well, we thought it was the finest until our SCARLET HURRICANE met Tazewell for the first game of the Southwest Tournament. However, we did not stop there; we defeated Tazewell, Virginia High of Bristol, and Richlands to secure a spot in the State Tourna¬ ments which were held in Richmond. Congratulations to a group of boys who did a fine job this year! The Senior Class play was held in May with a group of fine actresses and actors leading the cast. On May 2 the parents and fellow class mates said farewell to the seniors as they were off on their long awaited and hard worked for trip to Washington. Although the year was nearing its end, the last few weeks were filled with various events such as baseball games, Easter vacation, track meets, band concerts, and the Junior-Senior Prom. But Graduation Day was the biggest event of all on June 4, following Baccalaureate on Sun¬ day night, June 3. These events followed final examinations, which we all were glad to see end. Now as graduates of MSHS, we face the future with many hopes and dreams. We will never forget the five wonderful years we spent at Marion High and the many lasting friendships we have made. We will leave now, not to return as students, but our hearts and fondest memories will always remain here with our beloved Alma Mater.

Each new generation must stand on its own feet and preserve these freedoms. The freedoms we enjoy through the American Way have a high price and must be earned over and over. W.

Q finale As we journey homeward, we look back over the many pleasant memories we have had at Marion Senior High School. There have been good days and bad days, but the good days far outnumber the had. We remember when we, the HURRICANE Staff of 1962, held our first meeting in October of 1961. The editors realized what a large task lay ahead. We had a joh to do. To do this job well was our first goal. Selecting the theme and cover was our first task. These are the annual’s foundations, so they must be the best. For eight months we have worked hard, and we know it has been worth¬ while. The staff feel that they have given an annual that will be cherished and enjoyed by students and faculty. The staff deserves much credit, hut our greatest reward will he when we see our annual completed and read. To our sponsors, Mrs. Neal Echols and Mr. Fred McDonald, we extend heartfelt thanks for the help, guidance, patience, and understanding which they have given us. W e would also like to extend our thanks to the Watson Lithographing Company for their work and help in publish¬ ing the 1962 HURRICANE. We shall not say good-bye but just so long, for we shall surely see each other soon in the halls of Marion Senior High School. 164 PHOTOGRAPHS BY GREEAR STUDIO, MARION, VIRGINIA ALMA Oh, never may a shadow fall upon thy cherished name, Oh, never may thy sons and daughters bring thee reproach and shame, Before us as a flaming beacon that guides the wanderer to shore, Thou Marion dost lead us onward, our guide for evermore.

MATE R Oh, Marion, the coming years will never dull our love for thee, The hours we spent within thy walls will live again in memory, The noise and tumult of the world, the bitter storm and strife, Will lead our thoughts to high school days, the sweetest time of life.
