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. Mrs. Bean Mrs. Brackett Mrs. Howell Mrs. Wilkins 23

History knowledge through the ages Charter members of the Bear Club. Sociology class is a scene of heated discussion. 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
