King of Trades Mike Marshall When you say Mike Marshall you are say- ing self-motivated, talented, a perfectionist, ambitious, and willing to learn. According to his Art Instructor, Mrs. June Prance, He is the most outstanding srudent I have ever had the privilege of teaching. He listens! He follows instructions! He is the only student that I have ever had skip a whole grade because of his talent. He never asks for favors or special privileges. He has worked ever since he has been at TBT and I say I am proud to have a small part of training him for his career. One of these days, he will be famous and I will be able to say I knew him when . . . Mike Marshall has been described by his fellow students as a loner. A person who keeps to himself. He not a joiner — but is extremely well liked. He ' s loyal. He is a very special person. Mike is doing free lance art work for several businesses and plans to go to New York to continue his career. He is superb in all areas of commercial art, but he has a pref- erence for cartooning, and illustrating. According to Mrs. Prance Mike is my very best student. I like everything about him; especially his humility and his faith in God. 52 King of Trades
