History of the Class of 1936 In tlie autumn of the year ill, eighty eager hoys and girls embarked on the ship X. 1J. S. for a four year voyage. About the second week at sea, Walter Smith was elected captain for the first year's voyage, and Always rowing, never drifting was chosen the class motto. Kxcept for a few stormy days, the liist quarter of the trip passed quite smoothly. Garner Stocker successfully steered the ship through the second year at sea. The girls aboard formed a Booster Club , and many of the other passengers joined the different clubs and became members of the orchestra, glee clubs. Student Print staff, and the athletic teams. The class of '3( also contributed several members to the scholarship team which the high school sent to Kent, Hiio. During the third year of the voyage, preparations were made for the annual banquet the Juniors gave the Seniors. Grace Lyons was the helmsman this year. Class rings were selected during this part of the voyage. The class of t again contributed to the various high school orgizations. the Junior-Senior play being added to the list. As the last year of the sea-journey was approaching, the thoughts of the pas-sengers were beginning to turn to the years of post-high school life and the r-.--.po siblities connected with them. I lelen Schumacher, captain, guided the ship the last few months at sea. As the long voyage ended and the good old ship the X. II. S. drew slowly into port with fifty-seven passengers about to disembark and begin a new life, the green and white flag, the class insignia, was raised and the strains of Loyalty wafted over the peaceful water.

Address to National Municipal Convention, Chicago, 1950 by Grace Lyons, Chairman of Marvel City Delegation Ladies and Gentlemen: As chairman of the Marvel City Delegation, it is a great pleasure for me to address you here this evening. It is of the greatest importance to our project that out model city be understood through out the world. The interests of mankind are deeply involved. A model city will be of the most widespread interest to all men. 1 must make my address this evening as brief as possible because of the short time given me. I wall therefore sketch hastily a resume of the city’s departments and the persons at the head of such departments. A model city such as we are involved in experimenting with must be as nearly as possible a perfect governmental agent. Therefore it is most important that each division of the municipal government be headed by the most reliable and experienced person available. This the citizens of Marvel City have endeavored to make a fact by their choice of municipal officers. First, 1 will speak of the executive division of the city's government. The Mayor, Mr. Paul Hammersly, is a man of high ideals and worthy actions, and by his non-partisan administration of this office has gained the whole-hearted support of each and every citizen. ()ne of his out-standing achievements was the elimination of graft in the awarding of city contracts. The Chief of Police, Carl Phillips, has worked with such efficient zeal with his force to abolish crime, that the District Attorney, Wayne Mizer, has nothing at all to do. Wayne is now thinking of starting a club for the promotion of astronomy as a means of strengthening eyesight. The Court Reporter, ()live Toney, has so much free time from court duties that she has started writing a book on “Why Crime Does Xot Pay”. The Marvel City Council is one of the city's most interesting departments. It is singularly free from political corruption, working on the basis of community good and municipal welfare. Its members arc: Stanley Schworm, Wayne Renard, Carl Lenzo, Chester Booth, and Miss Johnnie Mae Driver. The greatest work of the Marvel City Council was the building of the amusement park. This keeps the citizens in Marvel City on holidays when they desire a picnic or swimming party, and also brings much out-of-town trade to the park. The park has come to be an important source of revenue for the city. The Amusement Commission, directed bv Henrietta Hill am] Frances Milligan, has charge of the park. The Commission is adept in its line, and has staged some unique and interesting performances at the park. Perhaps the most amusing of these was the Vegetable Ball. Each person attending was disguised as a garden vegetable, and the best costume received as a prize, a bushel of the kind of vegetable lie represented. The Postal Commissioner. Nick Knezevich, has cooperated with the Amusement Commission by aiding the advertising committee. Nick recently received national mention in the Senate Weekly• for his work in the Postal Department. The Marvel City Schools are already recognized as the best in the state. Among the teachers in this school system are the following: Russell Marquand, Alma Thompson. Helen Schumacher. Rachel Lease, and the High School Principal. Maurice Wolfe. The schools are advancing steadily in their work, and each year marks new additions to the school curriculum. Marvel City is exceedingly proud of its banking system. Three banks are conducted: The Farmer’s National Bank, The Municipal Bank, and The Industrial Trust Bank. These banks are organized under a municipal order, and are directly controlled by the Exchange Board. The system has been chartered by the Federal Government, and is under the protection of the Federal Reserve Commission. The president of the Marvel City Exchange Board is John Fletcher. He is advised by the members of the Council. The business district is very important to the financial advancement of the City. It is directly governed by the city’s Commission of Trade, and has shown immense improvement over the old haphazard system of individual management. The shops are up-to-date and modern in every detail. Tl e Rogers-Neal Dress ( 18 )
