Whether choosing an occupation, an elective, or a college to attend, the gmdance office stands willing to aid students in a number of methods. The student’s betterment, material improve- ment, and career planning are the gmdance office’s sole purpose. Mrs. Tucker straightens her pamphlets. Mrs. Tucker ' s many jobs include helping students select a college. 17 CAFETERIA STAFF The kids are coming, get the lunches ready ! These are the words spoken by our competent lunchroom staff as the students begin coming to lunch. Each day these women prepare and serve Marion High School students a well-balanced, noxirishing meal under the direction of Mrs. Hensley, the dietitian. The lunchroom staff also gives of its time and energy to help with various banquets and suppers sponsored by school or- ganizations.

STAGE CREW JANITORS Mr. Dillingham and Mr. McKinney Through the years the excellent care of the grounds and building has been the work of the custodial staff. No job is too small if it improves the condition of the school. Besides the usual tasks of cleaning the floors and refinishir the gym floor at alternate periods during the year, they also give the building a complete cleaning during the summer and Christmas holidays. Marion is indeed fortunate to have its building entrusted to such a capable staff. Students use library facilities for studying. Miss Glenn is always willing to assist students. Library Assistants School work and a good library go hand in hand in developing a student ' s knowledge. Both the li- brarians and the Library Club work hard aiding stu- dents in checking out books. The Marion High School library is of in- valuable assistance to students doing research. With the aid of READER ' S GUIDE, the reference book, and magazines, students secure up-to-date articles on their research topic. After viewing the varied selection of book and reference materials, one begins organizing and writing his report. With the addition of new books, the student body is offered an even greater source of knowledge. The library is a source for research material. 20 Cindy Mode assists Phillip Church in checking out a book. Miss Glenn Mrs. Norman Assist Librarians FIRST ROW; C. Mode, D. Robinson, B. Wilkinson.

Mrs. Wise English at M.H.S Diagramming sentences is a skill learned in English. Grammar! Literature! Vocabulary! These are the major parts of English at Marion. The English teachers strive to impart to all students a broader knowledge of their language and a wider vocabulary usage. Correct speech habits are de- veloped in the Debate Club. Creative writing and legible handwriting are stressed daily by our cap- able staff of instructors. Courses are taught to enrich our knowledge and broaden the students cultural background so that he may be a more in- formed and responsible citizen in the community. All students remember one experience in English while other students remember others. Sophomores remember Silas Marner, while Seniors remember Shakespeare and wonder how they man- aged to struggle through.

Through history, we gain an essential knowl- edge of things to come. Life is a repetitious cycle in which events can be predetermined from past examples. By studying various forms of history, one can become acquainted with the social, political, and economic world in which we live. With history, a written record which has endured through the ages, we may face the future with faith and con- fidence. The Fall of the Roman Empire, the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, and the Franco- Prussian War are some of the events studied by Sophomores in World History. Special emphasis on the Revo- lutionary War and the Civil War, term papers, and book reports are only apart of the interesting proj- ects outlined in American History. These various activities give students a basic knowledge of the great role history plays in the lives of each in- dividual. 24 Languages Parlez-vous francis ? Now, you translate the next paragraph, Freddy. Language is one ' s main source of communication between nations other than his own. Without a language, one could not communicate ideas. The language department of M.H.S. has well experienced instructors to teach its languages, Latin and French. The teachers try to instill in the minds of each student a basic knowledge of the grammar of the language they are studying. The students learn the back- ground and history of the country from which the language derives. bind cultures Through many hours of study, the French and Latin students finally con- clude that all the hard work was worth the effort.

What’s a nuclear reaction ? That is one question asked by many students, and answered by many teachers in the various science classes. Yet, science is not just cut and dried facts about elements, their reactions, and their make-up. It is also experimentation, such as making hydrogen from iron and sul- furic acid, and learning about this great earth of ours. As we look back on this year, we will find that some of these not so important” facts are, in reality, of great significance. Chemistry students enjoy experimenting in the lab. 29 Math teaches one to Mathematics is used in all phases of our everyday life. Because of this, one needs to be familiar with the ways of math. Most of the Seniors study advanc- ed algebra and trigonometry, com- monly known as College Algebra. While Seniors are working their way through College Algebra, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen are studying Geometry, Algebra I, or Al- gebra II. y-y = y-y (x-x) being a typical Algebra n formula, students find Math is the language of all sciences.

Bookkeeping, General Business, and Secretarial Practice are es- sential to a student who plans to enter a business college or enter a field in business. Students who take typing or shorthand are well instructed in these courses. Many seniors who type well and have a good shorthand speed are capable of finding a good job after they graduate. Because of capable instructors and modern office machines to use, the Commercial Department proves to be an asset to each student. 32 Seriously working on her ledgers, June Sowers strives to improve her Bookkeeping Shorthand students display their knowl- grades. edge on the Christmas bulletin board.

Mr. Earl Duncan teaches I.C.T., while Mrs. Margaret Anderson teaches D.E. A student taking these courses is able to earn two units of high school credit- one for his regular classroom study and one for his job. This job, which is obtained for the student by his teacher, is connected with his studies. Many D.E. and I.C.T. students leave school early each day, in order to spend more time on their jobs. While learning more about his job or the one for which he is preparing, the student can continue in his studies at school. 37 To be mentally alert is Up and over ! Mrs. Joy Wilson One! Two! Three! Four! These numbers are chanted rhythmically at the beginning of each physical education class as the girls do their jumping jacks or sit-ups. Mrs. Joy Wilson has introduced indoor and outdoor games. Among these are basketball, softball, and tumbling. The girls ' P.E. classes, around the Christmas season, joined together for modern dancing which was enjoyed by all. Health was taught with a great deal of participation by all the girls. They learned of the body, its functions, and of the mental composition of humans. Our able instructor, Mrs. Wilson, teaches the student physical fitness. to be physically fit Mr. Jerry Greene is head of the physical education department. Physical fitness and mental fitness go hand in hand. This phrase, which was once practiced by the Greeks, is still practiced by students at Marion High School. Mental fitness is acquired in the classroom, while physical fitness is developed in the P.E. classes. Under Coach Jerry Green, the P.E. boys are put through vigorous physical exercises to tone young muscles. The boys are organized into squads at the beginning of the year to learn to play the sports as they come into season. For many, this is their first experience in working together as a unit. Not only do they learn to acquire the skills to play sports, good sportsmanship is also learned. Mr. Anderson Mr. Greene Come on boys, straighten those arms! Practice makes perfect. 39 Poise and experience through performance Here we come again. Thumping fingers pound out the rhythm of Dixie , a melodic voice hums the Alma Mater. These are some of the effects produced when the band of MHS performs a number during practice or at a ball game. The black and orange uniforms add zest to the routines as the band marches during the half-times at football games. The different types of music and steady marching are also present in the various Christmas parades. Mr. Bean Mr. Laughridge Through music appreciation class we come to understand good music. 40 Blow the instrument, don ' t suek it. In April, the Symphonic band participates in the state music festival. The Concert band competes in the Western North Carolina Music Festival, which is held in the auditorium of MHS.

Although the Marion Rippers did not have a winning season, they still provided plenty of thrills for Ripper fans. The whole season started on August 15. Two weeks of endless practices, and skull sessions followed. Then on September 2, the Rippers traveled to R. S. Central for the opening game of the season. The opponents were a much larger and more experienced squad, but the Rippers fight and spirit proved almost an equal match. The opponents size came to an advantage in the final stages of the game and they managed to pull a 20-6 victory out of the fire. Next, the Rippers played host to the highly touted Wilkes- Central squad. ' They showed the Rippers that their high rating was no fluke and somdly beat the home team 37-7. The Rippers took to the road the next week to face the Valdese Tigers. The Rippers played sound offensive and defensive football and beat the Tigers 13-7 on their own home grounds. The Rippers returned home facing a hard, uphi.ll fight since Hickory was next on the list. The Rippers boldly stood to face the power- ful Red Tornadoes, but they proved that their high ranking was definite not an overrating. An away game at Taylorsville followed and the Rippers turned in another victory. This was the best offensive game of the season for the 77 Rippers as they ran up a score of 32-14. Watagua came to Marion the next week and a close game followed, as fans will reme mber. Watagua ' s Pioneers pulled it out in the last minutes 26-19. The Rippers ' spirit seemed to be up for the homecoming game against a tough Lenoir team. Cheered on by the Ripper fans, the team played their hearts out but had to go into an overtime period to win the game 7-6. It went down in the record books as a 0-0 tie but the Rippers will always remember it as a pleasing victory. The Rippers traveled to face Newton- Conover on the Red Devils homecoming night. The Red Devils played a good game and blanked the Rippers by a score of 26-0. The Rippers returned home to face the rival Morganton Wildcats but couldn ' t seem to catch hold, and the Wildcats were victors by a score of 41-13. The Rippers last game of the season came against the Hudson Hornets. The Rippers really scrapped for victory, but came up on the short end, 12-19. Although the Rippers were not a winning team, in the 1966 football season, all their fans can look forward to the coming years of dynasty of Ripper football powers.

There were many characteristics of our basketball team this year, and the point stressed most was, Practice makes Perfect. The thud of the dribbling of the ball as it is brought up court .... setting up the play, and shooting for the basket. The team was led by co-captains Gus Smith and Henry Wilkinson. Smith is one of the best ball-handlers in the conference. The Rippers starting team usually consist of only one or two seniors and the team has a great depth of talent backing the starting five. So the Ripper fans can look forward to a good season next year. The usual starting team consists of; Steve Early and Jimmy Laughridge as forwards; Penn Dameron playing center, and Mike Price and Gus Smith at guards. St. Stephen and the Sinners provide entertainment at Dee Rutherford home basketball games. 85 The team is coached by Ken Brackett, who this year has started a basketball classic in Marion, with the help of the local Citivan Club. Coach Brackett will be the coach of the Northwestern squad. He was chosen Man of the Year” by the Marion Junior Chamber of Commerce last year. A bright spot for next year, is that the varsity will lose only five players through graduation. The Rippers will have the potential of conference champions next year, and with Coach Brackett at the helm the team should develop into a basketball power. Brackett points out a few mistakes. Bear wrestles his brother. Billy Martin Martin scores two for the Rippers. 86 J.V. Basketball Coach: John Anderson J.V.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is an organization of students elected by their classmates to serve as official repre- sentatives in all matters of concern to the school. It is comparable to a law-making body in that the students are elected to represent and speak for the whole school. It provides a forum for consideration of common school problems and a medium through which student ' s opinions may be heard. The Student Body elected Steve Neighbors as their President. Steve devotes a lot of his time to the school. He is M.C. at all pep rallies, and his trumpet playing is heard at home basketball games. He represents the students when discussing problems with Mr. Freeman. We appreciate his interest in us. 95 NHS members were hosts at College Night. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Officers: Howard Westmoreland, Vice - President; Henry Wilkinson, President; Martha Love, Treasurer; Susan Brown, Secretary. Contrary to popular belief, National Honor Society members are not geniuses or bookworms livii in worlds of their own. They are instead normal students, who have worked to achieve and maintain the position they hold. These students are chosen on the basis of four principles: Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. The M.H.S. students set high standards for their school, which their fellow students should strive to achieve. FIRST ROW: Sue Allen, Gini Hensley, Linda Mace.

I come to etch on my book of life Marks From the experience Called high school. I come to on the leaves of this book The pulse Of the experience Called Marion High. I come to wither, To die, decay . . . To change From the young boy To the old. I am the Freshman. I bring to fall Glittering leaves Of childhood dreams. Leaves lined with Hopes, beliefs. Green gods From summers gone. I offer to fall These green breathing leaves Of summer dreams. Leaves of my present To die, to turn to Brownscarletyellow, Leaves of my past. And now . . . I am the Sophomore . I offer to Winter Decaying leaves Of dying dreams. Leaves that absurdly Drift from the Bleak sky Rotting hopes Trampled in snow. I grope in Winter With little hope Of finding life In books, but I Know as sure as God is Livii The snow is white. And now . . . I am the Junior. And just as sure. As God is Living The snow is white . . . I know, but snow seems gray And so, there may be hope Of finding hope. Winter gives A glassy frost To frozen ground Being beneath a godless sky. But one day . . . I remember Spring. And Now . . . And to the whispering, warm soft rain Of once- remembered Spring I bring past Frozen earth. Sterile snow. Withered leaves. But through the dust Of dead go ds Rain- washed. I see a bud of Summer life Of green life To come And running Forward into God knows Where (is God) ? I glance behind to Wonder why I came this way . . . And I forget . . And now . . . I AM the Graduate, And I remember. In the shadows of my memory Sit Quietly Those who sat beside me then. Those to whom I turned In this brief eon To seek words of meaning To justify My quiet Heartbeat. And you Lady, through whose Profoimd and fragile Lips The sweet smaU clumsy Feet of April came Into the rugged meadow Of my sovil. I will remember Your words. I will remember Words Spoken through the Intoxication of night air. Faces Sitting sleepily In well-worn seats. Day s Of books Voices, thoughts, noise. And . . . Silence. I wiU remember. And so I turn to go And in turning Remember . . . I am the Senior. 163 I was the student.
