MARSHALITE 1945 CLASS VOYAG E Ccontinuedl Outstanding among the schools-at-war activities were the mailing of approximately 600 copies of the school paper, which was being printed for the first time. tri the service boys from our school and the purchase of seven jeeps which were christened on Pearl Harbor Day. Finally. came examinationsg twenty-one girls and three boys re- mained on board the good ship to be the Senior crew of '44 and l45. That summer the Home Economics Department was remodeled, the cafeteria was enlarged and a canning unit installed. During the Marshall Canning Season. beginning .Inne 1. 1944 and closing January 2-5, 1945. a total of 4,773f4 quarts of food were canned. This unit has saved labor and time and has proved very successful in its first season. The time has come for the last lap of the voyage. This years' enroll- ment is the largest on record. There are 237 students on rollg 105 of whom are Freshmen. The Junior Red Cross Council was organized. electing Hazel Small- wood as President and Miss Brewer, the adviser. These girls have accom- plished a great deal. Especially have they performed minor services for the boys and girls at Vint Hill. An Athletic Association was organized which has 120 members all participating in some kind of sports. The combined crews on board the ship purchased a field ambulance and a grasshopper plane in the bond drive. Our own Senior crew had 100 percent of its members buying stamps on election day. Again the INKWELL has been sent to servicemen, and salvage paper sales have netted a neat profit for the projector fund. Finally, as we complete our boot training, we wish for future crews a fine new vessel with seamen ever loyal and interested in her welfare. CAROL H. BALL RUTH E. .IEFFRIES

MARSHALITE 1945 JUST REMEMBER fcontinuedl As the years pass and we reach the last lap of our voyage through life, there are certain incidents that we mariners of '45 will want to remember about the pleasant year we spent as Seniors in Marshall High School. Remember the day Mandley. Freddie and Bill interrupted Miss Brew-er's Civics class in order to hold a Big Three Conference. Those three will have to grow a little before they resemble Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. Remember how everybody was so upset when Frances Nails, Evelyn Leach and Gladys Pearson reported that they mixed salt rather than sugar in the Senior cake. And remember the time when our football team played a game at Aldie? Mrs. Smith ran up and down the sidelines yelling that's a new ball to Eunice. a new ball to Eunicef' and Coach John Rucker captured the attention of all the spectators in a little round. Ut wasn't a dance, eitherj. Remember the romantic part of our Senior play. Brother Goose. Mandley and Brooke rehearsed that scene ten times more than any other pa.1't-and not at play practice either. Remember how hoarse we Seniors became i11 our efforts, to prove to the Juniors that we weren't stuck-upfl Then there was the Friday when we presented scenes from Mac- beth in assembly. Remember the trouble Dorothy Farkus had in pronouncing Auld Lang Synef' Remember the Senior class meeting at which we decided to invite President Roosevelt as our speaker for Commencement. Didnlt we have radical ideas? Someone should have suggested Sinatra. Remember how amused we were when Mr. Coleman and Miss Brewer walked down the aisle in the Junior room holding hands. I bet that's one lesson in etiquette that welll long remember! Remember the day in English class when Mandley kept knocking on his head with a pencil. Suddenly he looked up in surprise and said, It's hollow. How true! Gee. what am l saying? HAZEL SMALLWOOD
