Early Start Brings Student Complaints As August 22nd rolled around, there were many reluctant cries uttered by Marion High students. Another nine months of getting up at the ‘‘crack of dawn,” doing endless homework assignments, and occasionally going to sleep during one of those seemingly everlasting lectures, began with opening day speeches in the gym. For Seniors, it was the beginning of the end of a high school career and for others it was the beginning of a unique learning experience. Senior Tom Sexton inspects the new handbook on the first day.

Ears strained to construe the words of our SCA Presi¬ dent, Alberto Iglesias as he welcomed us and in¬ troduced our new principal, James Earp. Upon ad¬ journment to homerooms we received new SCA hand¬ books containing information about school clubs and organizations, changes in the Marion Senior High School constitution, and a map of our school—a cherished possession of every Freshman. It was a hectic day, just like every year previous, but as usual, we made it through. The gym served as meeting place for the opening day assembly. Handbook committee members, Alberto Iglesius, Lesa Greer and Susan Bush com¬ posed a new handbook. Fees were collected in each individual homeroom. Here, Miss Young accepts Johnny Rector ' s money. 13
