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

MARSHAUTE1945 qlnmsm LZ? We, the Class of '45, Sail out of harbor today, We are leaving behind our anchorage, And have started on our Way. Out of the harbor into channels deep, Our ship Will breast the Wave. And may our course be onward and up, And may our deeds be brave. 'lfhere's many a danger that lies in Wait, There's much to be overcome. .But with strong hearts We'll meet our fate, As onward our course we run. And so We say, Farewell to thee, Our dear old M. H. S, And may God watch 'twixt thee and me, And our voyage forever bless. VIRGINIA CREEL
