We Pause to Honor Marion Senior High School and Smyth County were served long and faithfully by the one we now honor. It is with the deepest sor¬ row, yet with the greatest love and respect that we will always remember in our hearts and prayers Mr. Louis D. Dabney. He gave thirty- seven years of his life to education, and his place will never again be completely filled. Mr. Dabney was born and grew up in and around Washington, D.C., where he achieved many awards at Armstrong High School, both academic and athletic. He attended Virginia State College, where he again excelled in his studies and in sports, lettering in three sports— football, basketball, and baseball—for four years. His football honors include being named to the CIAA team for two years, and to the Pittsburgh Courier All-American team his sen¬ ior year. He received his Master’s Degree in education from the University of Pennsylvania. In 1932, Mr. Dabney came to Marion to teach. On June 25, 1934, he and the former Evelyn Richardson were united in marriage. Three sons were born to the couple—Charles Louis, Howard, and James. A member of Mt. Pleasant United Method¬ ist Church, Mr. Dabney was a lay reader for the congregation, and a Sunday School teacher. He held innumerable positions in the commun¬ ity, including positions on the hospital Board of Directors, and the VEA. We will always hold a special place in our memories for Mr. Dabney. Every move he made, every thought he had, deeply influenced someone somewhere, and in this way Louis D. Dabney will always remain a part of our lives.

Neighborhood Youth Corps workers are based in the A principal ' s work is never done! MSHS administration. The ability to forecast the future from experience gained from many years of service is the mark of an able and dedicated administrator. In his position as principal of MSHS, Mr. Howard Williams is determined, yet friendly; strict, but not unbending; and always eager to help guide MSHS toward the stars. Mr. Williams’ duties include the administration of school policy, linking the school to the com¬ munity and the school board, and aiding the students in their day-to-day lives whenever possible. Page 9 Hurricane Co-pilot The office of Assistant Principle at MSHS is filled by Mr. David Henry, a man as familiar to his surroundings as his face is to the students. The link between the students and discipline, Mr. Henry cheerfully administers to the needs of the student body. Behind the scenes work two other important facets of Forecast ’69: Mrs. Katherine Williams and Mrs. Linda Dean. The office staff comple¬ ments and refines the work of the administration, as w ' ell as lightening the load of Mr. Williams, Mr. Henry, and Mr. McDonald. LAYTON DAVID HENRY Appalachian State University—M.A. Put the word on ' em, Mr. H! The student ' s permanent file is a compre hensive look at his high school career. There is no end to the paper work in the office. Page 10 County Administrators J We owe many thanks to the Smyth County Board of Supervisors and the School Board for their contributions to our school, especially this year ' s new gymnasium.

Page 11 The Guiding Light Guiding a student through his high school career is an important job, and is perfectly executed by Mr. Fred D. McDonald. Assisted by the sponsors of each class and over 43 years in the teaching profession, Mr. McDonald is always eager to help the students of MSHS during their school life. Located in the guidance department are books, col¬ lege bulletins, and informative pamphlets, all designed to aid the searching student. fred d.

Smyth County School of Practical Nursing came to speak to interested students. Page 12 Private and Public I Mr. Ned Davis, Coach of Marion High School in 1928-1929, spoke to the student body at Homecoming. To further the endeavors of the guidance department, a system of assemblies has been established at MSHS. Consisting of programs that blend instruction with en¬ tertainment, these programs present a truer picture of life not only to the student body, but to the community as a whole. Each class has its own assembly presenta¬ tion, as well as special group presentation. Sing-Out, Kingsport, an enthusiastic group of teens illustrating in song the “Up With People!” theory, presented an in¬ formative as well as up-lifting program. On a religious note, the “Instrument of Faith,” a folk singing group of MSHS students, showed our school what part God has in their lives. All classes had representatives in our own Klassroom Kwiz. Assembly programs cover a wide variety of interests, including this paid wrestling assembly. The Instrument of Faith provided an inspiring program to the student body. Page 13 The Calm Before TRULA G. FLEENOR Radford—B.S. The library provides an atmosphere for study. Mr. Ledbetter supervises his study hall. With Miss Trula Fleenor at the helm, the MSHS library provides a sheltered place for students before pushing farther into the hectic life of a student. Providing a quiet, serene atmosphere for research, study, or just a respite from school activi¬ ties, our modern, well-equipped library is indeed the calm before the storm. Roger Dolinger uses his study hall as a place to collect his thoughts. Page 14 pu«!f The Storm Miss Fleenor checks out a book for Sharon Travis. Library Club Officers: Wilma Rich¬ ardson—Vice President, Judy Um- bargar—President, Sheli a Shuler— Reporter, Miss Fleenor—Sponsor, Jack Newman—Sergeant-at-Arms. Not pictured, Dixie Olinger—Secre¬ tary. The key to research is the card catalogue. Magazines, a vital part of any library, are indexed by Library Club members. Assisting Miss Fleenor in the moun¬ tainous task of running an efficient library is the MSHS Library Club. The members work as assistant librarians and general helpers during their study halls, giving Miss Fleenor much needed time to or¬ ganize the new material that enters the library every day.

The study of the English language at MSHS is I broken down in the different grades so that skills ! learned in the past can be built upon in the future. Both grammar and literature studies are undertaken with supplemental aids of book reports, term papers, and visual aids extending the courses. The study of drama in each class is highlighted by trips to the Barter Theater in Abingdon, and in-class presenta¬ tion of scenes from various plays. Freshmen English classes study Charles Dick- Page 16 ens ' GREAT EXPECTATIONS. 3f The English Language The use of punctuation is an integral part of Sophomore grammar. Principles of diagram¬ ing are broken down in Mrs. Burton ' s classes. §lwkr?ui ires i ' Ui? Shakespeare—the gen¬ ius of English literature. Small group discussion is emphasized in Mrs. Weems ' Junior class. Page 17 Forecasting Unity Friendship — the ba¬ sis of world under¬ standing. With the addition of French I to the Foreign Language department at MSHS, students are now offered courses of study in Latin, Spanish, and French. First year courses include the basic fundamentals of the language, with the second and third years extending into the history and cul¬ ture behind the language. Clubs which meet during the class periods further the study of other lands at MSHS. Spanish skills are brought into perspective by reading a novel in Spanish III. Latin grammar is the backbone of modern languages. The symbol of French culture is the Eiffel Tower. Page 18 Through Communication G. ROGER CALLIS, JR. Emory Henry—B.A. RICHARD FULLER Emory Henry—B.A. JANE H. WEAVER Emory Henry—B.A. Latin lives today! Mr. Henry ' s Spanish i class works on dialogues. Spanish II students study the costumes of Mexico. Page 19 The Past Forecasts What ' s so funny, Mr. Dabney? ' ' Selection of a president affects Eu¬ ropean policy. Page 20 The Future The study of history at MSHS breaks apart the world of today and compares it to the world of yesterday. Using the new maps and visual equipment in the depart¬ ment. classes in U.S. History. World His¬ tory, World Geography, U.S. Govern¬ ment. and economics present to students a practical look at history. Emphasis this year was placed on the national elections. In each class, the can¬ didates for president were discussed, and the impact of a new administration was brought closer to home for the students. DAVID E. DeBORD Emory Henry—B A mm ALVIN E. CROWDER Emory Henry—B.A. Scrapbooks helped to correlate campaign activity. Nixon ' s the one!

Basic funda¬ mentals in these sciences as well as individual experi¬ mentation are emphasized by the use of films, lectures, and projects as well as the textbooks. JACK L. COX Emory Henry—B.A. Page 24 1 . Mental and Physical Physical Education is re¬ quired through the tenth grade for both boys and girls, and was added as an elective this year for Jun¬ iors and Seniors. Modern movement, bowling, and tumbling skills are among the activities of the girls, while the boys develop skills in wrestling, the tram¬ poline, and outdoor sports. Classroom studies in driv¬ ers’ education and emer¬ gency first aid supplement the courses. Tumbling skills are built into action rou¬ tines. Team competition is the life-blood of physical education. Advanced phys. ed. girls develop movements on the un¬ even parallel bars. Darrell Perkins works out on the trampo¬ line. Page 25 Cultural NANCY A. WEEMS E.T.S.U.—B.S. Investigation into the theater arts and development of poise and self-confidence are combined in the course of Speech and Dramatics. Beginning with basic speeches and working toward impromptu speeches and pantomimes, the second semester is devoted to the presentation of scenes, acts, and entire plays, as well as studying the growth of drama. Music Appreciation teaches the basic principles to the be¬ ginner while enhancing the knowledge of the advanced stu¬ dent. The different periods of composition as well as the styles are dissected and examined. Comedy and tragedy—the backbone of drama. Page 26 Music Appreciation students prepare to analyze a musical composition. Predictions First year art courses develop the natural talent of students through the use of water colors, copper, wood, and linoleum. The second and third year courses take this revealed talent and channel it toward application of the principles learned in the first year courses for individual growth. NILE D. LINKOUS Emory Henry—B.A. Mrs. Linkous advises on fundamental struc¬ ture. Abstract design shows the artist ' s emotions. Art II students display their creations. Timmy Hicks exhibits his entries in the art show.

Page 36 J Through The Storm Dietician DORIS CLAWSON What would we do without our cooks? To aid in the efficiency of running MSHS. the cafeteria, custodial staff, and bus drivers all strive to give the student body a better atmosphere for accomplish¬ ment. Nutritious meals are served each day in a wholesome, delightful manner. The top conditions maintained are the work of the custodial staff, and transpor¬ tation to and from school is furnished by the Smyth County school bus drivers. Rolls, rolls, rolls! Dishwashing: a necessary if unpleasant chore.

Forecast ’69—A time to look ahead, but not a time to forget the memories. Memories such as August 28, when 175 Seniors walked through the doors of MSHS and took their places at the front of the auditorium. Memories such as a football season of 9 and 1, the best in many years. Memories such as that long awaited October-—when our rings arrived, and every underclassman in school had to turn green with envy or suffer the consequences. And memories of a 27-0 Homecoming score and Lou Thompson being crowned queen at the dance because of the small flood on the field. A basketball season ending with the exceptional record of our team in both regular season and tourna¬ ments. Then followed a wrestling record to complete three years with no losses. These are the foremost mem¬ ories of Forecast ’69. A look to the immediate future at College Career Night, and a look to the immediate past when semester exams came up in January, went further to add to the memories.

Crammed somewhere be¬ tween the end of basketball and wrestling and the beginning of track and baseball were clas¬ ses, term papers and research projects, the Science Fair, the Senior presentation of Jenny Kissed Me (which brought to mind memories of last year ' s Night of January 6tli), and the problems and responsibilities of being a Senior in the school year 1968-1069.

Seniors served at banquets to help earn money. Margie Danolene Odham Williiam Clinton Ogle, Jr. Gayle Lavon Osborne Gary Charles Overbay Patricia Dianne Overbay James Richard Owens Senior Treasury By Serving At With a look to the long-awaited Senior Trip finally in sight, the homerooms began projects to raise money so more could go. Enterprising ideas ranged from the selling of felt tip pens with the basketball schedule printed on them to collecting pop bottles. A goal of $1200.00 was set for these projects toward the trip to Wash¬ ington, D.C. The single biggest project of the class was serving at banquets held in the MSHS cafeteria. Mrs. Clawson’s staff of eager, if inexperienced, waiters added considerably to the mounting bank account of the Class of ’69.

To keep some semblance of order in the finances of the Senior Class, a commit¬ tee was formed of represen¬ tatives from each home¬ room. Reports on the finan¬ cial structure of the class were made regularly to the students and the adminis¬ tration. The finance com¬ mittee went a long ways toward making our trip pos¬ sible.

Kim Michael Wright William Jennings Wygal, Jr. Patricia Faye Wright Terry Jon Hermack Honor belongs to each member of the class, but special recognition is given to some few who ex¬ cell in academics as well as in fields in which awards are sponsored by various organizations. It is hoped these awards serve to all upcoming classes as a driving force toward the attainable goals of life. A feeling of security and friendship prevailed in the Class of ’69. All through their twelve years of school, these Seniors have been working and playing together, and the Senior trip was the culmina¬ tion of their dreams. Perhaps the invasion of Washington, D.C. by the MSHS Seniors only lasted from May 11 to May 15, but the memories of that trip, of that last year, and of that part of each Senior ' s life will go a long way to accomplishing the hopes and aims of FORECAST ' 69.

Hurricane Holler Even with a downpour that should have destroyed spirit, Marion’s spirit shone through with a theme of “The Spirit of Hur¬ ricane Holler.’’ Thursday night was some¬ thing to remember with a Variety Show to end all variety shows. Friday brought the rain and, although the skies were overcast, spirits were not. After a rather wet parade, came an even wetter game with Grundy, whom we stomped in the mud to win with a score of 27-0. Homecoming activities were rounded out with the Hemecoming Dance on Saturday night. The Beta Club Backfield slides through to a splash¬ down.

Daisies flashed spring on April 26. as the Jun¬ iors opened the petals of the 1969 Junior-Senior Prom to the graduating class. April showers may bring May flowers, but MSHS bloomed early as the theme, Daisies Won’t Tell.” welcomed the gay couples to an evening to be remembered. A summer gazebo, a garden of daisies, and a lovely spring night all added to the atmosphere that the Juniors had planned. Spring colors of green and yellow en¬ hanced the feeling of lightness and spring¬ time. until even the blooming daisies had to regretfully call it a night. The 1969 Junior-Senior Prom did indeed welcome spring with an open hand. Prom committee members develope their ideas. A summer gazebo is built in the center of the dance floor. Page 118 “Daisies Won’t Tell Happy daisies produced many smiles. The room really shook with the sound of the Voyers.

Warning-Hurricane Hurricane Warnings were posted on the first day of school and everyone knew that a powerful storm would be brewing for the next 9 months. It all started on Sep¬ tember -6 with the beginning of a whirl¬ wind football season. The mighty Hurri¬ canes led on by coaches Earp. Sawyers. Weaver, and Crowder finished the season with a 9-1-0 record making us tied with Tazewell for the title of Southwest District Champs. Success was celebrated by participating in a homecoming called “The Spirit of Hurricane Holler. A torrential downpour helped make the homecoming a unique one. Girl’s basketball season carried on the tremendous spirit of the Scarlet Hurricane. The girls struggled to post a successful season. As football ended, basketball and wrestling jumped in to keep the spirit alive and to keep the storm brewing. Coach Charlie Harkins led the Hurricane on to a 14-4 regular season record giving us the title of District Champs. The Hurricane House was host to the County tournament on March 20. 21, and 22. The Marion Quint kept the warning flags flying high by defeating Chilhowie 54-37. Marion then went on to the District Tournament and lost to George Washington of Danville by a narrow 3 point margin: 72-69. Still the team had earned the title of “No. 1” in Southwest Virginia. While the basketball team was busy winning games, the wrestling team led by Coach Moe Weaver captured its 41 consecutive w ' ins making the Hurricane South- w ' est District Champions and Western Regional Champions tor 3 consecutive years. Several wrestlers traveled to the state tournament; one, Darrell Perkins, won third place in the state competition. Soon after basketball season ended, baseball, golf, and track practice began. It soon became evident that the Scarlet Hurricane was out for more titles to satisfy the storm.

It is not always recognized as much as it should be, but it projects as much MSHS “spirit” as any of the sports. There is a wrestling team, but it is the individual wrestler that wins a match, and the score mounts as each wrestler attacks his opponent.
