FOREWORD It is with both pleasure and sadness that we approach our graduation from M. H. S. We are happy and eager to accept the challenge that only a democracy like ours insures each one -sad and reluctant to leave our friends, teachers and the good times which we have enjoyed. i Never before have there been as many opportunities open to graduates, but we, as individuals, realize our responsibility and we know that only by study and hard Work can we make ourselves into citizens who will stand and work for peace. -Kenneth Bailey UHEEQS FOI? MXSS EXE!-XOP! DEDICATION To our teachers who have helped us over the rocks of disillu- sion, guided us around the mountain of despair, who have helped us ford the river of disappointment, and led us across the plain of misunderstanding. To these who, throughout the twelve years, opened new fields of study to guide us in our respective ways, we dedicate our Quill. To these friends We owe our education and in later life we will look back and re- member how cheerful, pleasant and devoted they have been. -Elaine Petrusch 17 All CAME TRUE TABLE OF CONTENTS Producers and Directors . .... . .

Each year the budget problem of fi- nancing the annual is tremendously simplified by Mr. Rathman's gracious offer of his theatre and staff for a Quill benefit show. Working to- gether, the senior class and Mr. Rath- man plan a program of school talent and a motion picture - a program which draws fine crowds in good weather or bad! This year the senior chairmen, Don Deacon, and Bessie Pishney, guided the program of mu- sic, skits and dancing, along with Mr. Rathmanfs film Thunderhead , a fine technicolor film. Our thanks to Mr. Rathman for his effort in our be- half and his patience in aiding our Variety Show! PRODUCERS DHQEC 705 PRCDDUCEIQS AND DIRECTORS C- B- VERNON CHARLES L.

ROBERT WI-IITTEMORE MILO GLASS RONALD WOOD ' This year we have a group of young men who are receiving diplomas signifying com- pletion of their high school course. They are Richard Bailey, James Christensen, Milo Glass, Dean Johnson, Robert Whittemore, and Ronald Wood. All of them were in their country's service and were unable to complete their high school credits by full attendance at school, but through extra Work and examinations they have qualified for diplomas. The pictures above are the ones which were available when this book Went to press. 17 01,455 POEM REVIEW OF '47 The class of '47 presents its review, Our 64 players step forth into view. To recall high lights of school days for you. You see all our members-we're marching abreast Each holding high good hopes for the rest, Each with his eye on the bright future'-s best. We've played all the roles, on that you can bankg In comedies we've played many a prank, And romance has dipped deep into our rank. We've handsome young men, here in. our class, And we've also many a good-looking young lass, And records that few schools can surpass. Some of us have starred in our role, The rest had minor parts on the whole, But all of our names shall appear on the scroll. Now all of our teachers come into view- You know all their names, for none are too new- We'll take time to thank them and bid them adieu. The play has been long, twel-ve years in all, Now it is time for the final curtain to fall. We stand at attention with quiet o'er all.

In the fall of 1943 a troupe of seventy-six actors and actresses came together to produce a four-act play that was to run for as many years. In this play, unlike other plays, there were no rehearsals: each actor had no chance to start over at the beginning to -see if he might do better. Some made the best of their opportunities and became great stars. Others were recognized but were not as suc- cessful as they would perhaps liked to have been. Chosen to lead us for the first year were Bessie Pishney, Robert Kerns, Darlene Meg- gers, Diane Biddick and Thelma Lint. Miss Mentzer directed our activities. There were many discouragements, but like real troupers we kept on making our way slowly upward towards becoming the main attraction we were destined to be in '47. Jean Mullaley and Norma Fay were chosen as stars in Dramatic Club. Many of the troupe made the honor roll. Norma Parks and Darlene Meggers were the two actresses chosen for Homecoming attendants. We had three star-s in Forensics-John Vernon, Kathleen Svoboda, and Phyllis Beach. One of our cast, Diane Biddick, was chosen to be a cheer leader. We also played many rolls in athletics fremember Star Don Herrens?J and in instrumental and vocal music. For the lighter vein of our play we had the freshman picnic, which turned out to be a party in the gym because of bad weather. There was a well-deserved seasonal vacation of three months before Act II was pre- sented. Act II TIME: Fall of 1944 STARRING: 82 actors and actresses Our play continues to the second act with many new names on our roster of actors and actresses. Don Herrens left us for sunny California: Dick Bailey joined the navy: Lois J urgenson went to Mt. Mercy. Those taking the role of class officers were President Robert Kerns, Vice-president Robert E. Williams, Secretary-Treasurer Ruth England and Representatives Jeanne Beckner, Winton Gable, Robert G. Williams and Donna Jeane Kolda. This year our director was Mr. Polderboer. Anajean Forbes and Robert Kerns were chosen from our troupe to become members of the Dramatic Club. In athletics, in music, in forensics and in dramatics our talents were widely displayed. We had eleven on the honor roll. The cheerleaders who did such a fine job of representing our class were Stanley Oakley, Robert Kerns. Diane Biddick, Dorothy Heefner, Anajean Forbes and Darlene Meggers. The Homecoming attendants' roles were played by Diane Biddick and Joyce Emmons. Act III TIME: Fall of 1945 STARRING: 67 actors and actresses We start the third act with 67 actors and actresses but as we go along some of our group leave for other leading plays. As the act progresses some new personalities are added to our list. 20 wr John Vernon, President, Robert Kerns, Vice-President, and Bessie Pishney, .Secretary- Treasurer, guided the stars through the act successfully while Miss Roberts directed. The football stars who won letters were Winton Gable and Dallis Carsner. The basketball stars who won major letters were Charles Kurt, and Winton Gable.. The cast of cheerleaders did not change much but added Robert Williams to make it a J umor Strong- hold. Winton Gable and Peter Kepros were the actors chosen to represent Marion at Hawk- eye Boys State. Donna Van Natta and Jean Mullaley were chosen at Homecoming queen attendants. Diane Biddick and Darlene Meggers were attendants for the Relay Queen. 's 1 There were a few actors and actresses chosen to star in Delta Sigma Deltag they were Anajean Forbes, Bessie Pishney, Peter Kepros and John Vernon. The actors in Hi-Y who were chosen as officers were Secretary Winton Gable, Treasurer John Vernon and assistant Sergeant-at-arms Peter Kepros. We had fifteen members on the Vox Staff. Bessie Pishney and Jean Mullaley held offices in the G. A. A. The Junior Class play Sally Sallies Forth had Anajean Forbes and Robert Kerns as the leading characters. Act IV TIME: Fall of 1946 SETTING: Marion High School STARRING: Cast of 64 ' This is Act IV, the last act of our play. As we started out this final scene we had lost a few of our stars and our troupe was reduced to 64. Caroline Caldwell, Jack Anderson, Martin Gaare, Billy Dawn Huges, Sheryle Pegump, Leslie Russel, and Betty Knapp left our ranks in the interval between Acts II and III. The stars chosen to lead us through the final scenes were Jean Mullaley, Frances Ford and Pauline Kinkead. Most of the corps seemed to concentrate on their roles a little harder, realizing that this was their last chance to make good. Miss Frankenfield di- rected this act. Many of the cast took part in athletics, vocal and instrumental music, Zeta Mu Epsilon, Alpha Beta Gamma, and Hi-Y. Many of them also made the honor roll. Forensics gave opportunities for some to display their talents. Major football letters were given to the following: Winton Gable, John Schlotter- back, Dallis Carsner, Bob Domer, Richard Fontaine, Charles Kurt, Harry Parker, and John Vernon. Robert E. Williams received a minorletter. Participating in vocal solos this year were Frances Ford, Charles Fulton, and Charles Kurt. It may be that they are pre- paring for musical productions in the future. One of our own beauties, Darlene Meggers, won the coveted role of Homecoming Queen. Norma Fay, our ingenue actress, was the selniori agtendant of her court. Bob Kerns, Darlene Meggers, Anajean Forbes were c eer ea ers. At the close of the play, the successful actors presented a grand finale titled Gradua- tion. . It was their final appearance on thi-s stage-and never again will they play to- gether in any production. What the future will hold for this graduating troupe is a matter that only the future can answer. Some of them-Roxanna Armstrong and Donna Van Natta-have already decided that their future appearances will consist of acting in do- mestic family-life plays. Others are going to attempt business productions while many are contemplating advanced drama of the same type they have just completed. Some will join. the Military Corps. Wherever their future roles take them We Wish them every suc- cess in their chosen part. -Ramona Topel -Marilyn Vahl 21 70 EACH HXS OWN J AIL BREAK A thrilling mystery play was presented at the Marion Theatre last week. A true life drama, it portrayed a section of the lives of well-known citizens. The curtain opened on the local penitentiary. The first scene showed the entire group of trusties fprisoners with long but excellent recordsj had betrayed the trust placed in them and escaped. Warden Smith and his corps of guards believed it to be an inside job and in. the press con- ference which started the play the Warden told the Press that he believed the guards themselves might have had a helping hand in it.

P -Anajean Forbes -Kathleen Svoboda Xl THE ANVS PHIZOSOPHY Did you ever lie a-dreaming on the sand And watch an ant crawl over your hand Marching along-ever so slow? What do they think of man? Do you know? Trudging along, always straight ahead, They never go around-they go over instead. Have you ever thought what the world would be If I were the ant and the ant were me? No more trouble would spoil the day! What's to be done, the ant would say, Is forget your worries and go on aheadg But don't go around worry-go over instead. Let's try it some day, and maybe We'll see What happens when we use The Ant's Philosophy. -Dorothy Heefner 25 Nothing But Trouble OU!!!

As the years of school roll up, the intensity of the campaign increases. We watched with special interest the seniors' flare of propaganda flaunted by both parties-the masculine vs. the feminine, which ended with girls filling all offices. The class officers with the class sponsor form the nucleus around which the class activ- ities center-the planning of parties, the appointing of committees, etc. The junior of- ficers have a busy time in the spring overseeing the J unior-Senior Prom. This year's class sponsors were Miss Mentzer for the fre-shmen, Mrs. Goodyear for the sophomores, Miss Roherts with Miss Fredericks for assistant for the juniors, and Miss Frankenfield for the seniors.

' c,--5 Footbaff. . . 191.16 Five major letter winners, Carsner, Gable, R. Jeffrey, Whittemore, and Bunting, and six minor letter-men, Kurt, Vernon, Oakley, Schlotterback, Clark, and Page joined more than forty others in answer to Coach Lester Hipple's call to football for the 1946 season. An appendicitis operation forced Bunting out before the first game, however. Regularity, punctuality, and hard work on the practice field were demanded of the squad from the very beginning, and by the time of the opening game the team was in good condition. Two sturdy freshmen and two sophs developed fast-Rathje, Abernathy, Ot- ting, and J. Jeffrey-and won a place on the varsity. The finest string of competent re- serves Marion has had in years added a great deal to the Indians' strength. Belle Plaine was bowled over in the opener, but with the victory came the first of a series of injuries that turned out to be entirely too long. Gable, quarterback and team cap- tain, was kept along the sidelines during the next two games with a knee injury. A loss to U. High at Iowa City was followed by a memorable win over highly-touted Monticello. Turning a 12-0 half-time disadvantage into a thrilling 13-12 final victory, Marion really showed her fight and power. The entire team played magnificently. Independence was 36 the next team to be defeated, and then unexpected mud at Maquoketa, plus injuries which sent Rathje and Abernathy out of the fracas early in the game, and several very rare bad breaks brought us a tough 2-0 loss. To make matters worse, Fullback Carsner hobbled out of the game with a knee injury that kept him out of the line-up for the balance of the season. The team definitely missed Dally's fine blocking and all around good play. Then came a sweet 20-0 victory over Vinton, always a bitter rival, to put a damper on their homecoming celebration. Manchester was given a rousing welcome at our own homecoming the following week when they were beaten ina game that was climaxed by Page's 85-yard touchdown from a quarterback sneak-the longest sprint of the year-just as the game was ending. An unexpected early pass at Anamosa proved to be our undoing up there and the margin of victory for them, in a game that was featured by later outstanding goal line stands by our team. The mighty, unbeaten Tigers from Tipton were given a good scare in the first half of the season's finale, but after holding the visitors to a 12-2 score at the half, Marion bogged down and gave her guests a decisive victory. The season's record stands at five wins and four losses. The two conference de- feats suffered before the Tipton encounter were by a very narrow margin, and would hard- ly have occurred had the squad kept at its full strength. With a little better luck here and there along the way, and a few less injuries, the senior members of the squad feel that our team-mates will bring the conference trophy home next year. We sincerely hope so. -Winton Gable and Charles Kurt C-fb Sixteen men were awarded major letters for the season-Winton Gable, John Vernon, John Schlotterback, Harry Parker, Charles Kurt, Bob Domer, Richard Fontaine, Dallis Cars- ner, Dick Jeffrey, Bob Page, Loren Raddatz, Kenney Otting, Corwin Abernathy, John Ross, Jerry Jeffrey, and David Rathje. Eight of the sixteen are seniors. Minor letters were awarded to Bob E. Williams, Jack 'Ratliff and Larry Yauslin. The first all-conference teams ever selected in the WaMaC were chosen by the con- ference coaches at the close of the season. Winton Gable was given a place in the first team backfield. Harry Parker was named at end, and Dick Jeffrey was named at guard on the second team. Charles Kurt, John Vernon, and Dave Rathje in the line and Dallis Carsner, Bob Page, and John Schlotterback, backs, won honorable mention. 37 I-lEl?E WE GO AGAIN 5 s i I VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD Front row: ileft to rightl Donald McConaughy, John Vernon, Peter Kepros, Charles Kurt, Winton Gable, Donald Whittemore, Bob Page.

Two major letter winners from last season, Kurt and Gable, teamed up with minor letter winners Kepros and Ver- non, and several up-and-coming members of last year's sophomore team to give Coach Hipple a fast, if not exceptionally tall, quintette. The schedule was tough, but from the victory over Mt. Vernon in the sea- son's opener down to our defeat by McKinley of Cedar Rapids in the sectional finals, the team played rather consistently good ball. We defeated Vinton three times, twice during the regular season, and once during the tournament. Marion teams have shown steady progress and improvement under the tutoring of Coach Hipple and We hope and believe this progress will continue until WaMaC and state tournament trophies are added to the collection in our trophy case. Prospects for next year are bright. Among the regulars who expect to carry on for the Indians next year are Bob Page, Don McConaughy, Dick Smith, Don Whittemore, and John Bunting. Four of the cag- ers who helped win 12 victories for our school this season and who have finished their competition for Marion High are Winton Gable, Charles Kurt, Peter Kepros, and John Vernon. We are proud of our season's record, but we are equally proud of the fact that our relationship with our neighboring schools is fully as friendly, if not more so, than it has ever been. In defeat as well as in victory we have tried to be good sports. The senior members of this year's team, wherever we may be, will be pulling for the 1947-48 squad. Good luck! 38 DONT FENCE ME IN FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL First row: lleft to right!

With every member of the entire squad doing his best, we had a most successful season, winning 12 out of our 16 games. The Springville seconds defeated us twice, once by one point and once by three. Vinton beat us twice, our only conference losses, and forced us into second place in the league. With Murdoch, Johnson and Bailey, and other boys who will rapidly round into shape for the 1947-48 season, we ought to win a WaMaC trophy for Coach Swartzendruber and Marion High.

The cross country team did very well, taking first in the Class B division of the state cross-country meet last fall. This spring the track team has dcne so well that we have hopes of win- ning the conference meet, which takes place late in the season. The Marion Relays were very suc- cessful this year, since there were nearly 400 athletes representing 28 schools en- tered in the meet. The Marion team brought the two-mile relay trophy back to our display case, besides having sev- eral individual stars. Diane Biddick was crowned Relay Queeng her attendants were Norma Fay, Darlene Meggers, Anajean Forbes, and Avis Emmons. Among the outstanding seniors on the squad are Bob E. Williams, Dallis Carsner, Stan Oakley, Eugene Hastings, and Richard Fontaine. There are also some excellent juniors on the squad and many promising underclassmen. iNote: It was necessary to send the Quill to press before the end of the track season.J -Winton Gable- Ginger - - - Cheerleaders! Vim, Vigor and Vitality explain the 1946-47 Cheerleaders. They had new yells to yell and with the student body behind them they were really heard at the games. Our first squad consisted of four girls and two boys. The girls were: Darlene Meggers, Anajean Forbes, Mary Ellen Dumboltcn andl Virginia Culbert. Bob Kerns and Gene Michel were the boys. Pat Baughman, Agnes Mullaley, Carol Stimson, Barbara Kellogg, Billy Moffatt, and Tommy Jones made up our second squad. They cheered our boys on to many victories. Three cheers should be given for these peppy and faithful cheerleaders! --Thelma Lint -Mary O'Neil1 Baton Twirfers This is the first time in many years that Marion has boasted a marching band. Certainly with a marching band you must have majorettes. Their oubfits are M-Sweaters and white pleated skirts, but they hope that in the not-too-distant future to have some regular uniforms. We owe much of the ba,nd's success to our twirlers! This year they are Bessie Pishney, Shirley Jackson, Pat Armstrong, Veda Pollock, and Laura Lee Freeman. 41 Those Endearing Young Charms JUNIOR AND SENIOR G. A. A.

A. started out the year 1946-47 right with an en- rollment of 101 members. The year began with a serious note by having a formal initia- tion in which all members participated. Our social life consisted of a Christmas party, an All-High dance, and an auction sale. Fifteen senior girls Went to Monticello for Play Day on March 8. On the athletic side we had soccer, volleyball, baseball and basketball tournaments. We played the Springville girls in basket- ball. The Hi-Y boys challenged us to a game of volleyball. Num- eral, letter and state awards were made in the latter part of the year. -Thelma Lint -Mary O'Neill OFFICERS President- ..... Vice-President ............... Secretary ....... .... Treasurer ....

If For Girls If you can keep within your heart the power If you can hear the whispering about you To say that firm, unconquerable No , An never yield to deal in whispers, too: If you can bravely smile when loved ones doubt you And never doubt, in turn, what loved ones dog If you can keep a sweet and gentle spirit In spite of fame or fortune, rank or place, And though you win your goal or only near it, Can win with poise or lose with equal grace. If you can meet with Unbelief, believing, And hallow in your heart, a simple creed, If you can meet Deception, undeceiving, And learn to look to God for all you needy If you can be what girls should be to mothers: If you can brave a present shadowed hour Rather than yield to build a future woe, If you can love, yet not let loving master, But keep yourself within your own se1f's clasp And not let Dreaming lead you to disaster Nor Pity's fascination loose your grasp, If you can lock your heart on confidences Nor ever needlessly in turn confide: If you can put behind you all pretenses Of mock humility or foolish pride, If you can keep the simple homely virtue Of walking right with God-then have no fear That anything in all the world can hurt you- Chums in joy and comrades in distress, And be unto you-no more, and yet no lessg And-which is morefyowll be a Woman, dear. -From the writings of J. P. McEvoy 43 The lime, the Pface, ano' the Girff i 1 Homecoming this year was one of the gayest. The festivities began with an im- promptu snake dance on Thursday evening. On Friday came the Homecoming assembly, in which students pictured teachers as they might have been in their school days. Then came the big game which ended in a decisive victory over Manchester 19-6. We cele- brated in the proper spirit at the Homecoming Ball after the game-with the crowning of Queen Darlene Meggers. Her royal attendants were Norma Fay, Rita Biddick, Avis Emmons, Virginia Culbert, Polly Peyton, Sue Cary and Patricia Armstrong.

VOX STAFF The people on the Vox Staff this year have tried their best to bring to our subscribers some humorous and serious works. Some of the articles written show that a few of our reporters have a future in the newspaper world. Take John Snell, for instance-he won a certificate of honor for the Vox this year by writing a feature on Tuberculosis during the Christmas Seal campaign. Our paper also won national honor by being one of nine schools -selected to win recognition for its work toward educating the general public about the value of the Christmas Seals. We also want to thank Miss Petrusch and Miss Blaine for their help and for being patient with us. The senior writers now retire with a sigh of relief, but also with a sigh of regret. We'll miss the work and the fun that went with getting an issue out on time.

The department presented the program in two parts. The first part was Selections From the Masters , in which Frances Ford and Lynn Ford appeared as soloists. The second part, Anything Goes , was made up of popular music by Sigmund Romberg, Jerome Kern, Victor Herbert and Irving Berlin. The one act skit The Tragical Tale of a Grasshopper was enjoyed by all. On February 17, the small groups, with the vocal and piano solos, gave their concert. The spring home concert was given on March 18, after which the music contest filled March 28 and 29. On March 12, the mixed chorus sang for The Linn County Educational Council in Cedar Rapids. The final Statecontest held in Independence last year included the following first place winners: Mixed Chorus, Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Glee Club, Girls' Trio, Boys' Quartette, Frances Ford's soprano solo and Mixed Quartette. ' This year the sizes of the contest glee clubs was increased allowing thirty-two in glee club and forty-eight in mixed chorus. We predict that these groups at the 1947 contest will bring back as many laurels for the halls of M.H,.S. as they did in the 1946 season. Miss Wilcox, as director of the vocal music, produces the results that give great enter- tainment to the community. Mrs. Hulin was the accompanist for the vocal department. 61 1. Pay Day. 2.

W p To create by precept and example a civic and patriotic conscience, by fostering an idealistic attitude toward my country, its historic past, its spiritual heritage, its free institutions, its boundless natural resources, its great men and women, its wonderful privileges, and its solemn responsibilities, that we may give it our full measure of devotion and love. To develop a greater knowledge and understanding of the principles of dem- ocratic government and the institutions which are the sources of liberty, hap- piness, and freedom of thought and action, a respect and reverence for the flag, obedience to law and authority, a sustained and intelligent interest in public affairs. To uphold the principles of democratic government by supporting such move- ments as seek to save a country from its own apathyg by awakening my fellow countrymen to their obligations of citizenship, by stimulating an interest in governmental policies on the part of future voters, by supporting Lions Of Age ceremonies, by encouraging and expediting naturalization 0 f eligible aliens, by furnishing speakers and programs for patriotic eventsg by observing patriotic holidays and displaying my country's flag. To perpetuate in the public memory historical episodes worthy of emphasis by aiding in the erection and maintenance of memorials, plaques, historic site markers, and other suitable evidences. To obtain suitable recognition for outstanding civic service by the presenta- tion of awards and honors to those whose personal sacrifice and service on the field of battle and in the service of mankind in peace are worthy of highest tribute. To reaffirm my belief in the government of a free people whose inspiration is wisdom, whose greatest cause is justice, and whose noblest objects are peace and libertyg ever remembering our slogan: Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nation's Safety MARIO LIONS CLUB 1.
