Marlinton High School - Marlintonian Yearbook (Marlinton, WV)

In the year 1959 eighty-one green freshmen entered the halls of Marlinton High School. We were so scared it took us all year to get settled, and to help us we chose the following leaders: Karen Galford-President Richard Morgan-Vice President Paul Workman-Secretary Sandy Anderson-Treasurer We finally made it through the initiation and the rest of the year with the help of Mr. Wooddell and Mrs. Killingsworth. We entered our sophomore year a whole lot wiser and with a great feeling of superiority as we got to do the initiating this year. The seniors were our idols and we couldn’t wait to be in their shoes. To get us there, we chose Richard Morgan as our President; Paul Workman, Vice President; Blix McNeill, Secretary; D elm os Barb, Treasurer. We cannot, however, take all the credit. Without Mr. Brill and Mrs. ' currence we probably wouldn ' t be much farther along the way. We were really looking forward to summer vacation that year because the subjects seemed to be getting harder.

History Our junior year was one of our busiest. We were more composed and confident than ever before. The officers we selected that year were: Paul Workman, President; Richard Morgan, Vice President; Delmos Barb, Secretary; Blix McNeill, Treasurer. Mrs. Moore and Mr. Francis McElwee were our sponsors. It was during this year that many of us received our class rings. Our first big thrill as upperclassmen was presenting the class play, Mama directed by Mrs. Moore. Other activities in¬ cluded the junior-senior banquet and that memorable junior prom. The year we had all been waiting for had finally arrived. We were now THE SENIORS! With Blix McNeill as President, Richard Morgan as Vice President, Sue Withers as Secretary, and Sandy Anderson as Treasurer we began the last year of preparation for the game of life. With the help of Mr. Charles McElwee and Mrs. Bailey, our sponsors, and Miss Ruckman, our yearbook advisor, we worked on the senior play, our own Marlintonian, the selection of our colleges and jobs, and the many other worries we thought were more important than anyone elses. There are few of us look¬ ing forward to summer vacation this year because we know that we will never again be a part of the joyous events of the high school years. Although we got on the teachers’ nerves more than any other class, we feel there will never be another quite like it. We know that these years have been the best of our lives and we will always be grateful to those who have pushed us on and made it possible for us to graduate in this most important year, 1963, the year of the West Virginia Cen¬ tennial. Before we go we wish to say: Thanks to all the teachers Who, we know, have had no rest; We’re very glad you hounded us And made us do our best. Although because of homework We sometimes made a fuss; There ' ll never be a greater class In all the world to us.
