Mtn Thomas and Mr. Parsons. decided that they had been giving too much time to the Ignorance of the senior class. so they decided upon a fishing jaunt to the Marion Lake. Miss Thomas lof course. being an old flsherwoman at herrtl had Mr. Parsons bait the hook while she hid her face in horror. Still a ftsherwoman she started to throw out her line and got it hooked in her hair. The helpful Mr. Parsons took it out and threw it in the lake for her. Hours later the patient and quiet nerved Miss Thomas pulled out a bottle. She uncorked it and out popped a genie who could tell her anything she wanted to know. Of course. we all know that Misa Thomas had no idea of marriage. so she asked what the seniors would be doing in twenty-five years. These are the genle's words. Quote: I Dorothy Abel and La Norma Schlotthauer will eventually hook the Stafford brothers and live together on a southern plantation. Margery Ewert and Joan Kelsey got so accustomed to working for Mr. Brodhead at the theater that they decided to go to Hollywood and do pictures themselves.

O SENIOR POEM FOR 1946 Today. Marion High Stands Still Grand and majestic on the town's eastern hill Many classes from its halls have fared But to the class of 4S none can compare. We started as freshmen so green A more studious bunch no man has ever seen We studied from early morning until late at night Just to make sure all our algebra problems were right. That year everyone pushed us around Ot course we took it tor granted a freshman's hands were bound In general we were considered just grain For as yet we hadn't started to use our brain. Our sophomore year we started to play Thinking-maybe studying wouldn't pay Finally those grade cards went home, so punk And our parents thought we're surely sunk. Instead ot hearing Oh, how well you have done this six weeks You could see the anger rise in their cheeks Then they would begin their lecture so fine, By saying You aren't worthy of being a child of mine. Time passed rather swiftly now For as juniors we began to put our shoulders to the plow. We realized it wouldn't take long And our years at Marion would be gone. We worked and played with all our hearts Just to prove the Junior Class really was smart. Everything we did was full ot vigor and zest. Proving that our work was best And now we've reached our last year Day by day the end of high school ls drawing near We've done our best here at Old Marion High So that her name among the leaders would never die. All too fast in deep regret our last days here Roll by as the high tide rolls away from the pier When in later lite with all people we've mixed. - Many of us will look back and say Gosh, I'm glad I was a senior of '48. And so as the Seniors oi '46 leave Marion High We look back on those good old days gone by Ot course. there shall always be memories so dear That in the future our ship of life shall help to steer.
