Beginning another year in high school is like clos- ing the door on former years and old memories and opening the door to new experiences and successes. The door has now closed on the year and memories of 1966-67, but the ”67 Warrior would like to reveal some of the unforgettable moments locked in the now empty halls of Marion High School. It all began. . . August 31, 1966, the first day of school. Remem- ber the excitement of seeing all your friends again ( And what did you do this summer? ), the chance of making new friends ( He's 6T” and a perfect doll!), and the anticipation of meeting the new teachers ( Have you seen the new chem. teacher? WOW!!)... September, 1966, when the Frosh finally learned where their classes were. Re- member the successes of the new Warrior football team (Moose, Heifer, Loney's spleen is gone. ”), and the big bad Seniors (Frosh suck!)... October, 1966, when Seniors won another first for their float. Remember the cat- erpillar and the green beret (or was it a giant bush?). Queen Jackie reigned over a win against Remington (Yea, Tom. ) Remember, too, Halloween with rotten tomatoes, water balloons, and manure (just ask Heinz)... November, 1966, when students got dieir first long awaited vacation. Remember the the thrill of getting 2nd in the CVL (at last!) and the drama of Maxine Lowe ( Shut up or you will be held in contempt of court!)... December, 1966, when Neil donned a Santa suit (Ho, Ho, Ho!) Remember Spider and the Crabs ( Who's in their bus? ) and the Christmas season (All of a sudden, the teachers are smiling. Good or bad??)... January, 1967, when underclassmen experienced semester exams. Remember basketball (or shall we forget??), the MMCS (Blood, Blood), and Queen Jan. . . February, 1967, when there wasn't anything to do but study. Remember waiting for the school paper to come out (and getting Miss Grubb instead). . . March, 1967, when the so-called Senior attitude began to show ( You'vegot to be kidding me!). Re- member the St. Pat's Day Dance, Queen Linda and King Mike ( Do we have to wear green? ), drama contest ( I'm gonna kill that judge!), and Tork Week ( It’s abouttime you paid for something!). .. April, 1967, the month of the woodsies. Remem- ber the trips to Albert's and the D. Q. (We've got to live on something!), stopping traffic, and the Jr. Play ( Dan's in his undershirt!)... May, 1967, the beginning of the end. Remember the magnolias (Juniors lied), Six Flags, evaluation ( Do you really want to know? ), Senior finals, Senior Day ( Do notfeedthe monkeys. ”), and Graduation. Amidst the strains of Pomp and Circumstance, tears, and smiles, the Seniors changed their tassels, the juniors turned their rings, underclassmen waited, and the door closed on a year of cherished memories. 2 DEDICATION Mrs. Conrad Steinel Every year the Warrior is dedicated to a well deserving school personality and this year is no exception. This year the annual staff has chosen a teacher from Marion High School who is well known throughout the community. This faculty member contributes not only to the school and its educational program, but also to the minds and lives of all the students who know her. She received her Bachelor's Degree at Bethany College and is soon to complete her Masters at Kansas State Teachers College. Before coming to Marion she spent one year teaching literature and math in junior high school. She is not only active in school functions, but also in community and national organizations such as; P. T. A. , Guild, Coterie, and the American Librarian Association. Sponsoring Librarians Club is one of her many jobs also. If it would not have been for her, this organization would not have existed in. our school program. For five years she has served as general math teacher and librarian for Marion High School. It is with great honor and gratitude that we dedicate the 1966-67 Warrior to you- Mrs. Lois Steinel. 3 People in Nigeria, China, and all over the United States have one thing in common. If they attended school in Marion, they can remember one particular teacher from their childhood. This distinctive person is Miss Maude Thompson. A native of Valley Center and a 1917 graduate of Valley Center High School, Miss Thompson holds a B. S. degree, magna cum laude, from Wichita University and an M. S. from Columbia University. In 1958 Miss Thompson was honored by being selected as Master Teacher of the year. A very high and deserved honor to one who has given so much. Miss Thompson has been a teacher and administrator in Kansas for 51 years, 44of those years in Marion. All students who have had classes under Miss Thompson have shared an experience that will not be forgotten. Miss Thompson is one of Marion's most qualified teachers. The 1967 Marion Warrior Staff would like to thank Miss Maude Thompson for a gift she has given so freely and one which has no substitute.. . education.

SCHROEDER CHEVROLET AND OLDS 4 Miss Maude Thompson ADMINISTRATION FACULTY ADMINISTRATION Every seven years high schools throughout the state of Kansas are appraised by a team of evaluators from surrounding colleges and high schools. This year was the evalua- tion for Marion High School. Each department was thoroughly evalu- ated and rated by the faculty and members of the community. Then on May 2 and 3, the evaluation team studied the reports and eval- uated the administration, faculty, curriculum, and facilities. The team met with organization and class officers, interviewed the fac- ulty and administrators, and visit- ed different classes. The results of the evaluation will be used to better Marion High School as an Institution of Educa- tion and Learning. MR. JACK APPLEGATE SUPERINTENDENT MR. JAMES WEINMANN PRINCIPAL THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY BEASTONS 6 MRS. PAULA HENRY Art Southwestern-1955 FINE ARTS Mrs. Henry tells us that in ART her main objective is to help the student learn to appreciate art and enjoy expressing them- selves in some form of art activity. She introduces the students to many different units of art such as drawing, painting, letter- ing, poster making, ceramics, and block printing. Secondary VOCAL MUSIC, which includes not only large groups but also ensembles and solos, is oriented to music educa- tion emphasis as well as technique and performance. The primary purpose of the BAND is to provide for the stu- dent members, the opportunity to play and perform many dif- ferent kinds of music so that he may eventually have a better understanding and a fuller appreciation of all kinds of music. MR. DAVID FRUTH Guidance, Soc, Civics McPherson-1961 GUIDANCE Mr. Fruth is not only the guidance counselor but also teaches several classes. PSYCHOLOGY is taught to understand one's own behavior. CIVICS teaches our basic role as a citizen in our com- munities. - What does it mean to be a citizen? VOCATIONS helps each student learn about the world of work and other re- lated topics as How to Study , Educational Opportunities, and Personal-Social topics related to Guidance. 7 LANGUAGE ARTS ENGLISH is to develop a stu- dent's ability to express his own ideas and his ability to read comprehensibly. Prac- tice in writing, study of the fundamental grammar rules, and reading of outstanding literature seek to accomplish this goal. In SPEECH various assign- ments are given which are designed to help each student gain additional poise and self confidence so he may better fulfill this all important area of communication and expres- sion. FOREIGN LANGUAGES are to acquaint students with principals of the language and learn it up to a proficient level. MISS TANA GRUBB English, Cr. Writing KSTC - 1967 MR.

PAULA BAUMGARDNER English, Cr. Writing KSTC - 1964 MRS. LOIS STEIN EL Librarian, Math Bethany - 1949 LIBRARY The LIBRARY'S major purposes are to provide materials to support and enrich the curriculum and to promote enthusiasm for reading and learn- ing. This covers a wide range of materials and activities. The library collection includes books, magazines, pamphlets and audio visual materials. Tie librarian and student assistants furnish help in locating and using the materials needed for class work and for individual activities and inter- ests. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mrs. Jackson says Physical Education makes unique contributions to the total edu- cation of all students. There is fun, chal- lenge, and adventure in physical movement for both youth and adults. MR. LeROY DREIER Typing, football KSTC - 1961 MRS. PAT JACKSON Girls Phy. Ed. K-State - 1942 KSTC - 1966 There is no classroom long term unit of health taught in this program. We do have films, reports and discus- sions about applied health information. We are vitally concerned with applying health habits of cleanliness, weight awareness, and physical appearance. The import- ance of understanding the effects of alcohol, smoking, and others are stressed. Safety factors are a part of each unit. ROBERT O'ROURKE Biology Bethany - 1953 Stephen Austin - 1962 MR. REX WILSON Math, Track Fort Hays - 1960 MR. RICHARD UNRUH Physics, Chemistry Tabor - 1965 SCIENCES Mr. Unruh tells us the physical sci- ences deal with non-living things. It is my main objective to allow students to discover for themselves a refined method of gather- ing facts about these things through labora- tory experiments. In this way the student learns how a scientist works and the methods he uses. It is my desire to stimulate curiosity, questions, and to allow a search for an- ... . swers by discovery and not simply by a memorization of facts. Only by encouraging’ critical and creative thinking can a student actually sense the way of a scientist and become an active participant in today's scientific age. In MATHEMATICS al- though the answers to specific problems are sought, attention is focused on the examina- tion and study of processes and functional relation- ships. 9 VOCATIONAL SCIENCE These subjects are related in that they prepare stu- dents for some type of vocation. The objectives of COMMERCE are: to develop at- titudes, work habits, characteristic traits, and behavior patterns that are necessary for success in the business world. The major purpose of HOME ECONOMICS education is to improve home and family living. The home is the basic unit of society and with the complexity of problems facing today's families the need for education in Home Economics is increasingly important. INDUSTRIAL ARTS is a department designed to provide students experience in arears of leather, plas- tics, woodworking, and also in the use and care of hand and pow'er tools in constructing useful projects. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE teaches a student farm mechanics skills, the business of farming, the basic principles of leadership, and all the opportunities in Agriculture and its related occupations. MRS.

REX WILSON SPONSOR SENIORS “67” The Class of 67 of Marion High School shares many memories, collected and cherished from the time they enrolled as Frosh until the day they grad- uated as Seniors. The Seniors 67 tackled every job with enthusiasm and the desire to.succeed. It was the Class of 67 that always boasted the long list of honor students. It was the Class of 67 that designed three first place floats and a magnificent prom. It was the Class of 67 that saw so many of its guys on the Warrior rosters. And it was the Class of 67 that was so prominent and successful in music, speech, and drama. The years for the Class of 67 were not without disappointments and tragedy. But these are over- shadowed by the other memories that unite this class. No Senior will ever forget float building at Longhofer’s, suckers at play practice, Tom Sawyer, Maxine Lowe and Mrs. Strausson's slip, Amoenus Noctem and cheesecloth, pot-luck supper and the Bishops, Spider and the Crabs, Swope Park instead of Kirkwood Lodge, hayrack rides, draggin' Main, the Basically Sound, attitudes, and of course, the $4. 50 robes. Time will not erase from the minds of the Seniors the humor of Mr. Steinel and Mrs. Ferrell, the understanding of Mr. Keenan and Mr. Sloan, the talents of Miss Kruse and Miss Wymore, the guidance of Mrs. Steinel and Mr. Fruth, the patience of Mr. Babb and Mr. Wilson, and the gen- erous smile of Plato Kimball. All these things and many more have helped to make four years of high school a memorable experience for the Class of 67.

STUDENT COUNCIL The students of Marion High School were represented this year by a hardworking enthusiastic student council. This organization sponsored several worthwhile projects in addition to serving as the government for the Stu- dent body. Perhaps the most worthy project assumed by the StuCo was the collection of food for several needy families in Marion at Christmas. Students and faculty contributed generously toward this worthy goal. School improvement was another phase of the Student Council's activities. Improving the parking lot and decorating for Christmas were part of the work done to better M. H. S. A project designed to better teacher-student relations was the Student-Teacher Exchange Day. This took place dunng National Education week as several students assumed the responsibilities of faculty members. M. H. S. took on a new atmosphere as the girls opened doors and carried books for the boys during StuCo sponsored Tork Week. The year 1966-1967 found capable leadership, responsibility, and enthusiasm in the Student Council at Marion High School.

With the help of Mrs. Pat Jackson, sponsor, and Carol Bowers, president, the Pep Club adopted a new constitution. During the year, the girls held their annual soup supper, or- ganized and decorated for Homecoming and Queen of Courts, presented pep assemblies and skits, and promoted enthusiasm and school spirit at all the games. The Pep Club faithfully executed its most important duty, which was to support the team's win or loss, with pep and en- thusiasm. 41 LEFT TO RIGHT GOING UP - S. Lentz, T. Case, S. Hett, K.

It all began with the Homecoming game and a battle against the Remington Broncos. Everyone anxiously awaited the half-time ceremony, especially the three lovely candidates; Susan Lentz, Jackie Thomas, and Roxanne Zerger. After being escorted onto the Marion field, excitement mounted as the candidates and the spectators waited for the name of the new queen to be revealed by Judy Pankratz, 1965 Homecoming Queen. The Marion Warriors presented Queen Jackie and her attendants with a 21-14 victory over the Broncos. After a crisp and cold, but rewarding evening at the game the Queen and her attendants entered into a wonderland of Autumn Leaves. The fall decore created illusions of falling leaves and woodland scenes. MHS students, faculty, alumni, and mem- bers of the community delighted in the music pro- vided by the Richochets. The dance honoring Queen Jackie was an enchanting ending to a memorable evening. Queen Jackie Roxanne Zerger 64 Susan Lentz 65 Cindy Ingram Karen Siebert QUEEN OF COURTS January 20, 1967, was a Wonderland By Night for five lovely Queen of Courts candidates. As the ceremony began, the Pep Club members formed a candle-lit pathway to the throne of the 1967 Queen of Courts. Cindy Ingram, Susan Lentz, Karen Seibert, Jan Varenhorst, and Roxanne Zerger were escorted onto the gym floor by five of the basketball varsity. In the final exciting mo- ment, Jan Varenhorst was crowned the 1967 Queen of Courts by Pat Wameke, the 1966 Queen. Specta- tors and students paid tribute to Marion High School by singing the Alma Mater. Queen Jan and her attendants then reigned over the last half of the battle between the Warriors and the Remington Broncos. Following the game, the theme, Wonder- land By Night was carried out at the dance honoring Queen Jan and her lovely attendants. Susan Lentz Roxanne Zerger 67 SENIOR PLAY Any statement Mr. Cass?
