When'They CameHome fo Marshf ie ldBy Suthern Fride

Success is measured inmanyways. To me success is tryingthe best one can do and showinggood sportsmanship when onefails to meet the goal. Our ballclub didn't fail Friday night.I sat on the stage and quietlyobserved the determination inevery eye of each man on theBlue Jay team. The dexterifand skill shown by the teamshould be recognized andlthinkeach strdent should personallytell the boys the fine job theydid. I can safely say Bolivarhasn't been so shook all sea-son.

Charlotte Beck, of the Sen-ior class was crowned as the1968 home coming queen. Theclass of 41 was recognized andeverybody was up tight.

I think that the 41 homecoming was very exciting aswell as successful.

Seniors last whack at playingfor a ball game. We played athalves, before, and during thegames. Personally I feel a littletearful at the realization ofthisfact. Throqh the years stagebands have sprung up over theentire state. I feel that Marsh-field owes quite a bit to Mr.Lewis for starting anddevelop-ing a fine stage band. I hopeoncoming students will enjoyplaying in this organization asmuch as I have.

& Exit assembled in front ofthe high school gym at pre-cisely 7 o'clock. They wereled, trembling, to the ghostly,dimly-lit stage, where theyheard the mysterious prophesyof the Oracle at Delphi. Eachaspirant was then taken beforethe Council of the gods, wherehe was questioned to determinehis worthiness. Finally, eachapplicant was presented beforeJuno, the terrifying Mother ofthe gods.

While the members of theinner circle of Pen & Exitwere discussrng the merits ofthe applicants, it was discov-ered that those individuals inquestion had escaped from theirwaiting chamber. The errantapplicants were discovered inthe band hall, brought backbefore the Council of the gods,and interrogated. Appropriatepunishment was meted out tothose who deserved it, thenthe penitant and much chasten-ed aspirants were finally ac-cepted by the established mem-bers of the club. As a rewardfor achieving acceptance, thenew members were then allowedto sup with the gods upon num-erous delicacies.

Student Council-'- the ServantBy Margie Davis

Many people don't realizethe importance Student Councilplays in the activities of t}teschool year. The Council doesmore than just get membersout of class twice a month.Student Council is in chargeof all assemblies and I think,a year without an occasionalassembly could be a terrificbore.

In November 1967 we had aFootball Rally DaY. How wouldit have been without SUrdentCouncil? Fir st of all there wouldhave been no bonfire, car.smash, snake dance, and nosock hop. The crowning of thequeen wouldn't have takenplacebecause there would have beenno crowl and no student bodYpresident to crown the queen.The queen and candidateswouldhave had no flowers. Therewould, in fact, have been noRally Day at all because Stt-dent Council sponsors that.

In December, without a Str-dent Council, there would be noChristnas AssemblY or Carol-ing in the halls.

Now in January, we in Sfu-dent Council, are planning formore assemblies and for bas-ketball homecoming. This isn'tall your Student Council does;make it your business to findout the rest of their activities.

"I 'LL BE GLADWHEN I gETOUT OF SCHiOOL''By Connie Yates

This is it seniors, your verylast year. For twelve long yearsyour daily routine has includedgetting up early and going toschool, but soon that will beall over. How many times inthepast twelve years have yousaid',I'll be glad when I get out ofschool." No doubt you havesaid it many times, but howmany of you really mean it?How many seniors this Yearare looking forward to gradu-ation? Probably most everY-one, but did anyone stop tothink about what you are goingto be leaving? You're goingto be on your own. MommYand Daddy aren't going to bearound. No longer will youhavethe securiF of the school. Nowthat we brought it up, howmanYof you ever thoughtaboutschoolbeing security? In school Youhave a set pattern to follow.There are not a lot of deci-sions to be made, excePtwhether you will shtdy or not.

small ensembles. There aregroups sf woodwinds, brass,and woodwind and brass com-blned. We certainlY couldn'tleave out the drum ensemble.They are just as important asthe others.

Because of all the extraworkput in on these groups, Marsh-field always seems to come outwith their share of ones almostequaling, if not exceeding, thesurrounding area schools. Thiscertainly couldn't be done ifthey weren't under the excel-lent leadership of Mr. Lewis.

Let's try to make a smalleffort to fully appreciate owmusic departnent. After all,the band brings great recog-nition to the Marshfield HighSchool. Ask Lebanon.

Oh, you haven't made up yowmind yet; well, my friend, nowis the time to decide. You havea little over four months tomake your decision, and besure you make the right one.Don't let the past twelve yearsbe wasted. You have receivedan excellent education at goodold MHS, so plan your life tobe a rich and happy one.

As for the graduating class

this year, enjoy school and getas much out of it as you can.Just think, some of the kidsyou will say good-bye to ongraduation night, you willneversee again in your life. It'shard to imagine, but it's true.So make your last few monthsof high school a time to remem-ber, and make the class of '68,one that will not be forgottenfor a long, long time.

Seniors rr Don'lSfop Now

By Sally AbbottIt seems that during the last

semester of the school year,students, especially seniors,become lax in their studying.They seem to think they finallyhave it made. Seniors want tobelieve that nomatter howbadlythey do they will still pullthrowh. This certainly isn'tan attifude to have.

The last semester of theyear is just as important, ifnot more so, as the first se-mester. Many times, as inEng-lish IV, the biggest and mostimportant assignments are

the functions of the studentbodyis the election of the repre-sentatives to carry their ideasbefore the entire council. Thisis their method of bringingtheir ideas in and, therfore,it is an important thing forofficers to be chosen with ex-treme care. Next is their par-ticipation in the actual workof the student body. Promotionof safety, posters for the in-formation of the students, par-ticipation in activities, clean-up committees, performingcommon cour:tesies. andthe likemake up just a small per centof the responsibilities of thestudent. With full cooperationbetween the student council andthe student body there is nolimit to the goals which can beobtained. Communication is avital part in the functioning ofthe two groups ( the StudentCouncil and the student body).This is an expressed goaloftheStudent Council of MarshfieldHigh School and plans arebeingmade to carry out these objec-tives. With the help of you,the strdents, these objectivescan be swiftly carried out.
