MARLINTONIAN STAFF *

Organizing for the Annual- "Oh ye*, 1*11 bo thereSelling ads and '‘our

school". “Oh yea, I'll be there." Picture*, superlative*, copy, layout- "Will it

never end?" * "Bring me a coke,I'm starved." - Move over, I can't type without

a Chair," - "What * a apllt infinitive"? * "No, not again!" - ‘'Whnt'i the deadline:

not the date, the hour?**

These remarks issuing from a small group of student* and advisors, behind

closed doors, way up in the NEW STAFF ROOM, might convey (hr right idea-that 4

they are working on the ANNUAL, linking fun with honest-to-goodneSs labor, and

hoping that when the Annuals are attributed, the verdict will be, "Belter than

ever!" . ‘‘

ADMINISTRATION

A .. things mutt end, even good thing*, and you are now approaching the end of one part of your life. In many way* the laat year of high school is the most important of *11 school years, for it provides a good chance to clarify your thinking about ideals and goals. This last year in high school is an excellent time to overcome personal deficiencies, build needed strengths, and get the moat from the friendship* and opportunities your high school provides. Soon you will be leaving the protective atmosphere of Msrllnton High School, and you must make important de¬ risions as to jobs, future education, and the responsibilities of adult citizenship. The decisions you make will probably affect the rest of your life, for every adult is influenced by his answers IO his youthful problem*.

1? is the nature of society for new problems to arise constantly. and the best society can do Is to become adept in solving problems. The purpose of your education is to test one idea against another idea, one method against another method, to inquire into and to examine until men can know the true from the false.

Sincerely yours,

M* H. Brooks. Superintendent

J* K. Arbogsst, Assistant Superintendent

C. a i ■ of 1 957 you have reached another mile* atone in your march to success, By tuccr it I do not mean material gain* It is my solemn belief that real success ii meaaurcd in terms of what service we can render to our fellowmen* If we hove done our job well we will leave this world a better place for our having been here. 1 congratulate you on your progress to date*
