In September '33 forty'one little boys and girls began their training on the stage of the Marion City Schools. ln the Hill building with Miss Nellie Pyle as teacher were: Junlor Case. Jackie l-iawbecker. Wan' da Hannaford, Suzanne Wheeler. Don Hoover. Mary Louise Tibbetts. Norma Jean Amlck. and Laverna Knight. In the valley with Miss McBride at teacher. were: Alfred Schmersey. Eileen Ecker. Virginia Hungerford. Bob Turner, Ronald Atkinson. Vernon Heldel. Jeanne Carpenter. and Jack Beaston and others who left Marion to continue their training on the stage of other schools. In the second grade. Jeanne left us for Washington. D. C., and Suzanne went to Florence. A memorable ex- perience of the year was a train trip of our class to Antelope. a place we had imagined to be New York. In the third and fourth grades we stumbled through the usual pitfalls ot long division and multiplication tables. had we alio engaged in a more pleasurable exper lence of the study ot the world. this stage where we are to play a part. Phyllis heu from Harper became a new member and Jeanne Carpenter rejoined our class. In the fifth grade Miss Corby found us often so naughty that she had to shut us tn the cloak room. Ed Fox came to us from Peabody that year. In the sixth and seventh grade we began to take more seriously our responsibilities and to make notloe- able progzesa in our achievements. In our seventh year the glrls won first in baseball at Lost Springs. We gave a rninstrel to earn money for the basketball suits for the junior high boys who won third place that year. The boys also won first place in soft ball and the following year they won first in track. Jo Ann Kelsey from Aulne. Margery Ewert from Canada. and Betty Thompson from the country were added to our class role. In the eighth grade we presented the operetta Twilight Alley with Jack Beaston as the gang leader. Phyl- lis Beu. the little poor girl. and Norma Jean Amlck the rich woman. At last we planned our eighth grade graduation exercises. a radio program presenting numbers by the class members. We recall Jeanne's reading My First Date. an lndlcatlon of a new developing interest to be pur- sued later in our high school life. Norma Jean gave the valedlctory address and Phyllis Beu. the salutatory address. In the fall of '42 we forty freshmen entered the portals of Marion High School to begin our second act in :ur drama of school life. Those who joined us from the country schools were: Will Helmer. Virginia Hayen. Ruth Kline. Harold Ehrlich. Betty Lou Longhofer. Howard Collett, Harold Conyers. Melvin Chrlstner. Betty Weber. Dick Stafford. Frances and LaNorma Jean Schlotthauer. After undergoing the ordeal of initiation we overcame our shyness and we buckled down to preparation of lessons. With La Verna Knight as president, we began our participation ln school activities. Norma Jean and Phyllis had leading parts in the high school operetta. Sunbonnet Sue. Jack Beaston. Harold Ehrlich. and Junior Case made a good beginning in football. Dwight Waddell from Wichita joined us in our sophomore year. Jeanne Carpenter was our leader as pres- ident. , As Juniors we organized our class with Harold Ehrlich as president. Suzanne rejoined our class and Wallace Good comes to us from Sedgwick. Our chief interests centered around achievement in sports by Beaston. Ehr- lich. Waddell. Case. and Good. and ln activities to make money for the J .-Sr. banquet. Twenty class members had parts in our junior play Hurrah for Youth. We worked long and hard to carry out our Hawaiian theme and to make plans for a most successful banquet. Betty Jean Tiemeier joined our class this year. Ever faithful to our motto. United we cheat. divided. we flunk. we have risen to the coveted position. known to the town as the Senior Class of '46-the dignitaries of Marlon High! More brains and beauty joined us in the forms of Gene Stafford. Dorothy Abel and Charlene Kuhn. Our flrst class meeting resulted in the elec- tion of Wallace Good as president of the class. Lacking nothing in energy. the senior boys, with the able assistance of several junior and sophomore boys won the C. V. L. championship for Marion High. This brought their coveted trophy, which had not been ln our possession since 1941. to grace the halls of our Alma Mater once again. In order to provide the funds for our senior sneak day to K. C.. the class sponsored a dinner and program ln March. Ten days later. the class left at 4 a. m. in a chartered bus for K. C.. returning at 4 a. m. the next morning tired but happy. Murder Mansion. a mystery-comedy starring LaVerna Knight and Jack Beastonv was presented in April. During our twelve years in school. we have gained not only the knowledge found in books. but also a touch of the give and take necessary to be a star on the stage of life. And now we draw the closing curtain on the scene of our drama on the stage of Marion City Schools. Un- doubtedly we have brought down the house as nob le and shining actors and sincerely hope to do as well on whatever stage we choose to continue our work.
