At these times it is the rare person who realizes that someday we will look back longingly to these years. But who of us knows the memories that years hence will echo back to us? Will we remember objects like a class ring, a warrior head, a prom dress, or will we remember some intangible response to a certain poem, a scientific theory, or an eccentric math teacher? Whatever we remember, it will most probably be some object or event that brought us enjoyment, laughter, and happiness— for in the future these wonderful experiences will greatly overshadow the ordinary tedious duties of today. Each of us knows that a picture captures only the action of a moment; however, the pictures within this book have the purpose of sustaining memories which will last forever. Every year, a group of students with various goals leave Marion High School in search of different destinies; yet they will return many times in these halls through the memories that are preserved in the pages of the WARRIOR. o 2 Dedication Mr. flames Weimann As in the past, the Annual Staff dedicates the yearbook to a deserving member of the high school faculty or community. The person we choose this year is far more than what we consider to be merely deserving. This man comes in contact with every student and administrator at one time or another during the school year. He is a person who we go to see if we come to school tardy, if we sass back to a teacher, if we peal out of the parking lot, if we are failing in a class, if we walk out of school and many other things we do wrong. At the time, we felt he was wrong, but later we realized he was right; although we would never admit it to him or anyone else. And even though he spent many hours in the school building, he was also extremely active in many community and church activities. His understanding nature, his willingness to meet the students more than half-way, and his warm sense of humor have given him the respect and admiration of students and teachers alike as he went about his many duties, which ranged from teaching those unpredictable Frosh the operation of a car to sponsoring the Student Council. Because of your fairness in decisions, your concern for each and every one of us and your example of adult responsibility, it gives us great pleasure to dedicate to you, Mr. James Weimann, this 1967-68 MARION WARRIOR ! 3 Was it in that week before Commencerrfg or while I sat in the hot white sun, a prickle of sweat under the blue graduating gown, ST 1 .Iff or in those few empty days at home?

Many hard hours of practice by the coaches and the boys, the enthusiasm of the Pep Club, and the support of the community made it possible for the 67-68 Warriors to take the honored first place trophy of the C. V. L. Besides be- ing proud of their championship title, the Warrior fans were equally proud of their new football stadium, which added comfort to the spectators as well as beauty to the football field.

Basketball Spirit was the only word that could describe the mighty Marion Warriors and fans during their victories in the District tournament held at Peabody. The team came right through all the way to the top, amid the screams and chants of the faithful M. M.C. S. and Pep Club, to take the first place trophy. Even though the Marion Warriors had a slow start with a record of 5-9, they came back full force for a dramatic climax to an exciting season.

Because of the vigor ous training and the a 11-out-effort of the boys; the Warriors, out of ten meets, brought home two first-place trophies and four second-place trophies. Since the Warriors did so well in the Regional meet at Manhattan by taking second place, five boys were able to go on to the State meet at Salina and bring home a third place trophy. Besides the honor of so many placings in the various meets, Marion is equally proud of Warrior Gary Melcher, who now holds the state record in the discus of 161' 6 . Our congratulations to all the boys. SENIOR TRACK MEMBERS: (left) Dennis Knoblock, Charles Pankratz, Jay Woerz. TRACK BOYS THAT WENT TO STATE: (front left) C. McElwain, D. Knoblock, G. Melcher.

The Warriors, coached by Dwayne Reusser, spent every night after school on the golf course practicing every- thing from physique and form to finding their lost balls. Because of this practice and interest, the boys did very well at all the golf meets. Out of ten meets, the two-man team received two first place, three second place, and one third place trophies. The four-man team received two first place, three second place, and three third place trophies. The people of this town as well as the students of Marion High School are equally proud of this year's golf team. Jntramural Zearns BIKES: (top left), Mr. Fruth-sponsor, T. Ingram, E. Cook, D.

To the music of the Homecoming theme, Stranger on the Shore, the anxious crowd greeted the three excited candidates--Teresa Seifert, Mich- elle Hett, and Darlene Pecinovsky with warm enthusiasm. Miss Jackie Thomas, the 66-67 Homecoming Queen, was present to crown her successor, Miss Darlene Pecinov- sky. After the thrilling victory over Pea- body, Queen Darlene and her attendants were escorted to the Homecoming dance decorated in ocean colors. The music by The Sound of Time completed the success of a memorable evening. 15 Queen Of Courts I The annual Queen of Courts ceremony was held on the evening of February 9, 1968, during the half time of the exciting game between the Warriors and the Herington Railers. As half time neared, three excit- ed candidates--Michelle Hett, Teresa Seifert, and Kaye Applegate—waited anx- iously for the moment when the new 67-68 Queen of Courts would be revealed by the 66-67 Queen of Courts, Miss Janet Varen- horst. By the popular vote of the student body, Miss Kaye Applegate was chosen for the royal title. Queen Kaye and her atten- dants reigned over the dance held after the Warrior victory, which was decorated to the theme, Love is a Many Splendor Thing. Congratulations to these three girls.

Although at times, many hours are spent digging up money from nowhere, finding lost pictures, re-writing write-ups and worrying a great deal. It is hoped that everyone will relive their pleasant moments many times through the pages of the 1968 WARRIOR. (Left to right) FIRST ROW: M. Cowan, R. Hague, M. Thompson, S. Hett, B. Coe, S.

Because of the addition of the new library this year, the Librar- ians, under the direction of Mrs. Steinel, have played an important part in helping the students and pointing out the newly located books. Along with their duties in the library, the librarians sold brownies during several lunch hours as a money-making project. They also ran several concession stands as various athletic events. At the end of the year, the librarians took a trip and visited all the League high school libraries—Herington, Centre, Peabody, Hillsboro--and McPherson's high school library. The trip was con- cluded by attending a movie, The Bible, in Newton. MRS.

The Thespian organization is a national honorary society which encourages student participation in all areas of speech and dramatics. The members of the M. H. S. chapter of this organization, under the able direction of Mr. Marlyn Friesen, have earned at least ten points through various activities. This year, the outstanding junior actress was Beverly Hoch, the outstanding senior actress was Susan Yeagley and the outstanding senior actor was John Loney.

Through the leadership of President Myron Frans and Vice President Danny Steinel, one can surely say that Student Council proved to be a Council FOR the Students. Before the first day of school had begun StuCo was busy planning for the coming school year. StuCo proved to be hardworking from the first day of school by helping the faculty enroll the entire student body. Throughout the year StuCo presented lyceums that were entertaining and beneficial to the students. The StuCo got the Student Body into the Christmas Spirit by decorating the school at Christmas time and sponsoring a collection of food for two needy families. The food was brought by the students and the StuCo members separated, put into boxes and delivered it, while singing carols to the families. Again the StuCo showed their colors by pro- moting school-wide Warrior Spirit. But most students will agree that the most worthwhile project the StuCo carried out was the making of a Student Lounge FOR the STUDENTS. First of all, StuCo sponsored the Harlem Thrillers in order to have money for a room such as the lounge. But more than the money that went into the lounge, were the many hours of hard work spent in cleaning the room and planning the recreation for the lounge. All students were very appreciative toward the Council for such a project. As the end of school approached and student elections came up, the StuCo submitted new procedures for these elections so they could be run much more smoothly. The StuCo also updated their consitution by proposing new amendments to it and having the student body vote on them. As you can see, StuCo was quite active during the school year. Yet all StuCo members will agree that none of this could be possible without the guidance of our respected sponsor--Mr. Weinmann. 24 ORGANIZATIONS Pep Club (First row, left to right) Cheerleaders: S.

This year, the Pep Club played a very active and important part in supporting the mighty Marion Warriors in their successful season. With the help of their sponsor, Mrs. Paula Henry, and President Diann Wiens, the organization had many money-making projects and spirited pep assemblies. The club arranged a beautiful Football Homecoming, as well as Queen of Courts. The Pep Club with the help of the M. M. C. S. , faithfully cheered the teams on with their fabulous WARRIOR SPIRIT and PRIDE! The M. M. C. S.

The well-known wearers of these jackets carried out several activities this past year such as selling concessions at the Regional tournaments, re-organizing their constitution and buying a CVL Championship banner for the hall. The mighty voices of the M-Club members also helped the Pep Club cheer the Marion Warriors on to 1st place victory in the District Tournament at Pea- body. German Club ROW ONE: Mr. McKinney, G.

The German Club of Marion High School had another active and successful year as one of the newest organ- izations in the school. One of the club's activities was their annual German trip to Wichita. This year, the members enjoyed a concert by the Wichita Youth Symphony and a German meal at the famous Reinlaunder Restaurant of Wichita. Later in the year the German Club's older members took examinations in Wichita. After the tests, they saw the movie, The Graduate. Perhaps the most unique event for the club was their German Party, where they all learned to dance the Polka. At this party, the Famous Marajuana Trash made their second fabulous appearance. 28 d.M.A Officers: B. Coe. A. Hett, V. Vajnar, M. Kjellin, J. Keazer, T. Seifert, T. Case, L. Spencer, K. Perkins, R.

The executive officers under the direction of President Teresa Seifert, also held monthly meetings and planned a few steps ahead of everyone else. Throughout the year, the F. H. A. girls, sponsored by Mrs. Pauline Ferrell, planned and carried out many money-making projects and activities, such as a Soup Supper, serving lunch at 4-H Day, and the Senior-Eighth grade tea. Officers and members worked hard to make the year in F. H. A. the most successful yet. THIS PAGE SPONSORED BV HALLETT CONSTRUCTION DEAN’S IGA 4 ♦ (First row, left to right) Mr. Thole, sponsor, J.

Sam it takes more than love to make a marriage- It takes com- panionship. I never see you any- more. ' 'Cove Js Contagious'' Love is Contagious is a romantically hilarious comedy about a young girl, Sally Winters, who leaves Kansas and goes to New York to venture a career as a model or an actress. She plans to take care of her brother, Robbie Winters, a newspaper reporter, who lives in the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Harway, an artist. Sam is dismayed and astounded by Sally's very naive rea- soning in wanting to live with the two men in the apartment. Much to Sam's and Robbie's chagrin, Sally stays and adds feminine touches to the bachelor's apartment and makes friends with the various village characters. In the course of events, Sally changes everyone's life at least a little. However, in spite of all the prob- lems, everything works out, and nearly everyone gets married--proving that Love is Contagious. The 1968 Senior Play was presented by Shelley Hett, Danny Steinel, Susan Yeagley, John Loney, Kathy Perkins, John Seibert, Barbara Hunt, Charles Pankratz, Madeline Thompson, Teresa Seifert, and Cindy Powell, under the direction of Miss Schmidt. The Student Directors were Diann Wiens and Connie Robert- son. It was surley enjoyed by all who attended. 40 Zlie ‘Junior Play The Junior play cast. The hard-working student director. Shut up Valda, go blow your nose! Zlie Zhread Zhat Kuns So Zrue On the evening of March 29, 1968. the Junior class, under the direction of Jeanne Schmidt presented for the enjoyment of the public, the play The Thread That Runs So True. Throughout the three-act play, a total of twenty-nine actors and actresses told the stoiy of a young teacher, who tried to go into the back hills of our country and give their people an education. Although a serious fight scene tried very hard to put the lead role in the hospital, all cast members came through to the end with flying colors. Silence, please!

The cast included Susan Yeagley as Ruth, Shelley Hett as Mary, Janice Jantz as Dame Stanley, and Roxanne Hague as Widow Jones.

This year, the banquet and prom were held in the Marion Catholic Activity Center. As in the past, the couples promenaded to begin the evening. The banquet was the scene of dimly lit Japa- nese lanterns, raft music, and servers in gaily colored kamonas, Hoppy coats and traditional cooley hats. The guests enjoyed reading fortune cookies and ex- perimenting with their chopsticks. The program featured Mr. Billy Swendson, former principal of the Marion Elementary School, who was the speaker of the evening. Music was provided by the Swing Singers. After the banquet, the prom began, featuring the music of The Sound of Time. Much hard work was displayed by the Junior class and they are commended for providing a very beautiful and enjoyable evening.

The closing of school marks the end of another school year and the passing of another great Senior class. Some people may question the use of great in that last sentence, but those people merely pointed out the fact that the class of '68 never built a first place float or won any poster contests. However, the Senior class gave the school something that has been lacking for some time--WARRIOR SPIRIT! The Senior class would like to leave all underclassmen with a thought and a challenge. The thought--to have a successful school there must be cooperation which leads to a good feeling, sometimes called school spirit, better known as WARRIOR SPIRIT. The challenge is to all underclassmen to carry on the WARRIOR SPIRIT through the years, which Seniors are credited with helping .to start. MR. REX WILSON Sponsor MR.
