Making the basketball tenln for three consecutive 'cars, his hei ht has made him n mainstay of the team at center. Besides throwing the discus on the trach team, Mari was a member of the hue forward wall of this year's football team. Outside of his school activities, Marsh takes quite an interest in howling and swimming, not to men- tion . . . Well maybe we had better not mention her here. Due to a tough academic schedule and these outside interests we are unable to classify him as one of the brains of the class, but Marsh does hope to be able to further his knowledge of heating, refrigera- tion, and stcanilitting at Carnegie Tech next year.
