HH Eljisticlnxtgr Ccontinuedl In order that the boys in service be well informed as to all the activities and gossip at Marshall, the staff mailed free copies of the Ink-VVell to each of them For the first time since 1936 when the publication of the school paper was started, the staff arranged for the paper to be printed by the Fauquier Democrat The athletic association was organized that year. There were to be sports for those not participating in the main sports. We wonder what those other sports were. The Junior Senior Prom was our mostgwonderful event. The girls' colorful evening dresses against a picturesque garden scene made a lovely sight. The boys weren't very industrious that night, and girls had to use all their charms to persuade their escorts to dance. Really, you would have thought it was leap year. Our Senior Glass proved to be the largest in the school's his- tory. ln spite of a slight decrease in numbers, We still retained the title. We were very glad to welcome Mrs. Erwin and Miss Chapp- elear into our midst. Then Santa brought us the nicest Xmas present Cin the form of Lou Costello nj, none other than Mr. Gwin One of our most exciting days by far was the day we received our class rings and pins. To add to our pleasure Miss Partlow presented us with a delicious turkey dinner. Can you top that ? Never let it be said that we don't do a. thorough job. No one would deny that we have faithfully upheld the reputation of the Senior Class-as being the worst in school. As we stand on the brink of a new dawn, with our thoughts returning to the years we have spent here, we know that there are many friends and memories we shall always hold dear.

Ll-D If we could turn back the calendar to a September morning in 1942, the scene being Marshall High School. we would see a very new and somewhat frightened looking group of Freshmen. My fellow historian and I were among that group. After an ex- ploration of our surroundings. we discovered that- Well! they could have been lots worse I The teachers weren't all ferocious, but several looked slightly dangerous. especially Mrs. Smith. I guess her flaming red hair must have been the reason. There wereninety-six Freshmen that year, and for the first time the Freshmen Class was divided into two groups. One reason for the increase was that Hume and Upperville l-ligh Schools joined us. We were very glad to see them, for the more, the merrierfi Marshall had its first full time librarian. Miss Sue Smith. Miss .Partlow became the Senior home-room teacher. There were two new-corners to the faculty, Miss Brewer and Miss Robertson. Uncle Sam introduced a physical education program which resulted in many stiff knees and backs and also something more to corn plain about. Miss I-lowdershell, one of our own graduates, took over this additional work. After a most welcome summer vacation, we returned to Mar- shall as Sophomores. This year some fine improvements were made. Planting sh rubhery kept the agricultural boys busy for a change. Mr. Morris and his electricity class managed to survive the shocks they received while installing an electric bell system. The fall of '44 found us. oh! so worldly Juniors. but we soon changed our tune. Geometry and American history took the wind out of our sails.

As I. gaze within the crystal depths, I see Welby Kenny married to Beulah Rose. They live happily in a cute little cottage near Upper- ville. Welby is a mechanic at the West End Garage and some day will become the president of a big mechanical company. Lenora Oisler is an air hostess on The Voice Airlines. She is winning many friends with her charming smile and quiet ways. Everett Ashby has become a farmer in the Free State. The people in and around Marshall will have all the fresh vegetables and fruits they need. Irma Harrington has prospered through her home economics course. She is one of the greatest seamstresses in Front Royal. Isee that Ruby Moore is continuing her musical career. She will soon be as famous as Jose Iturbi. Rachel Pearson has certainly put her shorthand to use. She is pri- vate secretary to the president of the Viscose Plant in Front Royal. James Lawrence has graduated from the University of Maryland as an architectural engineer. Jimmie has his own office with Betty Ball as his secretary. In the near future she will no longer be his secretary, but his wife. Jane Pierce has become the dean of a girls' school in the North. She will always do her work as well as she did in high school.
