Perhaps the thing for which the class will be remembered longest is the new curtain that now graces the auditorium stage. With the help of the Marshalltown board of education and the money earned by the curtain committee during the district basketball tournament, these graduates were able to fulfill a long hoped-for desire and to leave something tangible behind them. Events crowding our last year were the intro- duction of the double lunch period, which decreased the long cafeteria lineg the smallpox epidemic, which meant the first vaccination for many pupils5 the vo- cational guidance conference, including seniors from Z6 surrounding towns, sponsored by the Marshall- town Junior College-5 the distinction of our concert band playing for a general assembly of the Iowa State Teachers Aiss0ciation5 and the attendance of 12 journalists at the convention of the National Scho- lastic Press Association in Des Moines, held for the first time in Iowa, VVith the generous help of the Marshalltown Chamber of Commerce, the M.H.S. band was able to purchase new uniforms. The Gold Masque, a dramatic club, initiated its first members in our senior year. Substituting for the usual class plays, all-school plays were added in the fall of our junior year. Dur- ing the same time, fans of the Bobcat football team had the comfort of sitting in the new concrete sta- dium at Franklin Field. M.H.S. pupils received ad- mission to the games and other ,school activities by showing activity books, which were introduced that fall, They proved popular as well as convenient and were adopted permanently. Our high school was chosen as one of 200 schools to be considered in a nation-wide survey of secondary schools. As an outcome of this, M.H.S. ranked 74th or better than 126 of those analyzed. To aid in this survey com- prehensive tests were administered to approximate- ly half of our class, Marshalltown was represented in the national music contest for the first time by two M.H.S. musicians, one of whom received a su- perior rating. To accommodate the increasing crowds, the basketball games were moved to the Memorial Coliseum in 1936-37, which season also witnessed our quintet as runner-up in the state high school basketball tournament. To relieve the monotony of the four bare walls, murals painted by the advanced art class added new life to the cafeteria when we were sophomores. In the same year an English Council, which presented plays before the student body, was organized. lt consisted of representatives from all English classes. The spring of that year saw the renewal of operettas after a lapse of four years. They proved so popular that during our senior year two were given. Our freshman year marked the second season of the stu- dent dances and the girls' electricity classes. And so, still being different, our class comes to the end of its story by reaching the beginning.
