MARSHALITE 1945 CLASS VOYAGE Ll-B .Every ships' crew likes to leave behind a good record. The account of our progress as apprentice seamen on the training ship M. H. S. is here- with made public. September of 1941 found the S. S. Marshall High School starting a four year cruise over Educational Seas. A much smaller crew was aboard tha.n usual, but the seamen had a will and determination to improve them- selves and their school. One of the first happenings of importance was the organization of a football squad which wasn't successful until 1942. The Freshman Sea was rough and troubled. During this voyage Mr. Werth piloted our vessel. and the majority of the crew survived the at- tacks of seasickness from which we lost numerous seamen. During the second lap of our voyage. the old ship was somewhat re- modeled and improved. The School Board gave us curtains to darken our auditorium, and our surroundings took on an entirely different atmos- phere with the planting of shrubs and a privet hedge. An electric bell system was also installed by Mr. J. A. Morris and his class in electricity. In the year 1942 we received a. complement of seamen from Upper- ville and Hume whom we cordially welcomed aboard. The high school enrollment, that trip was the la.rgest on record. and both Freshmen and Sophomores had to have additional quarters. Two new pilots. Miss Brewer and Miss Robertson, also came aboard to direct the Sophomore voyages. The crew purchased a service flag with a star as a memorial to each boy or girl in the armed forces who last attended M. H. S. There are now 230 stars on the flag. six of which are gold stars. This year saw the initiation of a very rigid physical education pro- gram, a penny milkl' program and first aid training classes in order that the seamen might be better prepared for service. The fall of 1943 found us with Mrs. Brent at the helm. The order was given early in the year for our Senior rings. The Junior-Senior Prom was quite successfulg however, the girls had to put on a floor show to amuse the students since Uncle Sam had called our boys upon another venture.
