Back AlreadYBy Paul longley

1968 has finally madeithere'and it's the year all the seniorshave been waiting fbr. There'san old saying that "whateveryou do on New Year's Dayyou'll do everydayof the year,"but something went wrongsomewhere. No one went toschool on New Year's Day, butsomehow we found ourselvesback at school on the second.I guess it's a gbod thing wedon't follow the old saying ora lot of people wouldn't liveto a ripe old age. So now wehave to face the reality ofbeing back at school, so we'might as well make the bestof it. If you are tired of italready, just think "Only fivemore months left." Then startcounting the days until our nextvacation when we can startsleeping late again.

Would You Believe- the United NotionsBy Debbie Gallion

THE UNITEDNATIONSWILLHOLD TIMIR NEXT MEETINGAT MHSIII Well, not quite. Butthe members of StudentCouncilthink it's a nicetheory.Asmostof you know, the UN last sum-mer televised many of its Se-curity Cou4cil meetingS to letthe people of the world knowwhat was going on in the Arab-Israeli conflipt. Witlt today'scommunication ' systems, it'seasy for the people of theworldto understand what goes on ingovernment and in United Na-tions meetings.' Communications is a brgproblem in the' MarsMieldschool system - communica-tions between the students andthe Strdent Council" At our lastmeeting, we came up with whatwe think might just be a solu-

tion to this problem. We wantto take a tip from the UnitedNations, and hold a Stuco meet-ing for the general public(meaning the student body) inthe gym.

We realize that a large num-ber of the students don't haveany idea of how the StudentCouncil works. We wantto rem-edy this sitration - we wantto SHOW you, firsthand, justwhat's happening as far asyourstudent government is con-cerned,

Ilowever, we'll have to haveYOUR help and cooperation.We'll hy to do our best tomake the,.meeting an interest-ing one,"'bnd.we plan to setup our owl communicationssystem to assure our audienceof being able to hedr everythingthat goes on. All you, as a

As our episode begins ourhero from the Division of Un-'dercover and Counter-Espion-age (D.U.C.E.), Jack A. Spades,is approachir8 Central Head-quarters of D.U,C.E. With himis his lovely assistant, TinaDiamonds. Ironically at thissame moment, two agents fromthe arch enemy of D.U.C.E.are also approaching THEIRheadquarters. It is none othertlnn the top agent of the Asso-ciation of Crooked Everything(A.C.E.), Mark Deck and hislovely assistant, Bruce Lovely.To add to this irony, the head-quarters of these two top se-cret, deadly, arch-enemy or-ganizations are located in thetsame building. Yes, the securig

of these two organizations isso tight that for twenty-twoyears neither has discoveredthat t}te other has the sameZip Code. D.U.C.E. headquar-ters is located on the 88thto the 92nd floor of New York'stallest building, the EmpireState Building, while A.C.E. islocated on the 22nd to the 26thfloor, Yes, as always, good ison top of evil.

Well, for the 6,991st timethe two arch enemy, top secret,world-wide organization agentsand their partners have goneinto tleir respective headquar-ters without detection from theother. Huh.

In D.U.C.E. headquarters,agents Jack and Tina are beingbriefed on their latest exciting,adventurous assignment.As our story progresses, itwill be seen that the two pairsof agents will again meet inthe never-never land of goodvs. evil.D.U.C.E. Headquarters:

The fearless leader ofD.U.C.E. - N.L.L. - starts to

relate to Jack A. Spades andTina Diamonds to the natureof their forthcoming mission.(Due to the ultra-tight securityof the organization, he is onlyknown by his initials. Besides,his full name wouldnlt fit onthe blazer the agents got himfor Christnas.)

N.T,.L.: Listen closely,agents, for you are about tomeet your most challengrng ad-versary.

Tina: Oh no! A.C.E. again?N.L.L.: Precisely. We have

just discovered another plotfor A,C"E. to conquer theworldand. . .

Jack: Not the one about breed-ing giant Vampire bats in Carls-bad Cavern?

N.L.L.: Exactly. And thatrneans. . . Waita second. Howdid you knord?

Jack: Elementary. It was un-der "World Catastrophes" inthe Christian Science Monitor.

N.L,L.: All right. Then youprobably know the jist of yowundertaking.

student bgdy, have to do is topay us the courtesy of listen-ing to what we have to say.Several students have toldmembers of the Student Coun-cil that they really have noideaof what a Council meeting islike. We would like to giveyou all a chance to find out -a chance which we hope you'lltake.

The Student Council needs anindication of support from thestudent body before it can planthis assembly. The class rep-resentatives think it's a verygood idea, but we need YOURopinions and YOUR support be-fore we can feel that the pro-ject is really worthwhile. Inthe past we have asked foryouropinions without much re-sponse, but this time PLEASElet us know. Talk with yourclass representatives - youknow who they are. The Str-dent Council is anxious to im-prove its relationship with thestudent body as a whole. Helpus reach this goal.

What's happened to the smallamow:t of spirit that was dis-played around the first of theschool year? It appears, we'velost all of that trivial sum.What's the reason for this lag?

Our basketball team hasn'twon all their games, but that'sno reason why we should lackspirit. In fact, maybe if wehad a little more pep and zipour team would be inspired totry harder.

The only time I notice much,if any spirit, is when the gameis close, and we have a chanceof winning. Whether we're win-nirg or not, we ought to ,becheering our team to the end.

Let's ky and make a specialeffort to put zip back into ourcheering section. This meansboys and girls alike.

Bruce: why did you decideto send us? You know we'vefailed the last eight assign-ments.

B.F.D.: According to our LasVegas branch, the odds of yousucceeding is 4-13 in yourfavor. For YOU, that's good.

Mark: Do you have any newweapons or gimmics I coulduse? We need all the help wecan get.

Courtesy CounlsBy Debbie Gallion

For most young people inthe world today, school atten-dance is mandatory. It can bea chore to some, but to manystudents school is a pleasantexperience. Of course, the stu-dent can help the situation byexhibiting common courtesyto-ward his teachers and fellowstudents.

The Marshfield Student Coun-cil feels that outstanding cour-tesy should be recognized, soeach quarter of the school year,the members of StudentCouncilselect "most courteous" stu-dents from nominees made bythe high school teachers. Atthe December meetings ofStuco, Elaine Jennings and JimGallion were selected as MostCourteous Juniors.

Elaine serves her classmatesas Secretary of the JuniorClass, and she is also the Se-cond Vice-President of FHA.Her favorite subject is HomeEc., and the class she likesleast is American History.Elaine's favorite thing aboutschool is "VACATIONS!," andshe dislikes tests. Herpersonallikes irclude Elvis, countrymusic, Kansas CiW, swimming,and roller skating; andsheisn'tfond of winter, snow, spinach,or liver. She plans to become

Have you ever wondered howold our school really is? Ifyou are an observant studenlyou will have noticed the corn-erstone laid in the front of thebuilding with the date of 1918on it. This date signifies the1916-1917 building of the westwing of our present building.This section now houses theprincipal's office, room 10,girls' restroom, and the lowermiddle hall.

Contrary to popular studentbelief, this was not the firstschool building. Marshfield'svery first school, or academyas it was called, stood a littlenorth of the northeast cornerof the square. This was builtbefore the Civil War and wasused for religious meetings.In 1871 a large brick schoolwas erected south of the rail-road, at the school's presentsite. In tltis building both gradeschool and high school wereconducted until 1916 when itwas deshoyed by fire. Duringthe consbuction of the newbuilding, classes were held atvarious buildings in town.

As stated before, the newbuilding that was eonstructedafter the fire is now the eastwrng of our school. In 1g25a new wing was added on theeast of this building. This wingheld the gymnasium ( the firstin Marshfield ) and classrooms.In 1954 our present gymnasiumwas built and the old gym wasconverted into classrooms.

The first unit of the Voca-tional Agricultural building wasconstructed in 1926 with thesecond unit being built in 1958.The Industrial Arts buildingwas added in 1946 with addi-tions being made later. TheMusic Hall was built in 1949wittr improvements being madein recent years. The Cafeteria

Philosophy and0bjectives0f Athletics

The following is a statementof the philosophy andobjectivesof athletics for the MarshfieldSecondary Schools. We hopethat these statements will beshrdied and clearly understoodby the coaches, students, teach-ers, and Imtrons of the schools.

Attrletics is an integral Partof the secondary school educa-tion program for youth to devel-op sfirdents physicallY, mental-ly, and emotionally. The ele-ment of competition and winningis controlled in accordance withthe readiness level of the Youthand is culminated bY interschoolcompetition. This is consideredto be educationallY and PhYcho-logically sound because of thetrainingl it offers for living ina competitive society. Studentsare stimulated to want to winand to excel, but the Principlesof good sportsmanship mustprevail at all times to enhancethe educational values of thecontests. It should be notedthat athletics include PhYsicaledueation activities and intra-murals as well as interschoolathletics.

Secondary schools are com-mitted to the belief that Parti-cipation in interschool athleticsboth as a PlaYer and as a stu-dent spectator, is an integralpart of the shrdent's education-al experiences. Such Participa-tion is a Privilege (not a right)that carries with it resPonsibil-ities to the school, to the team,ts the communiW and to thestrdent himself. In his PlaY'and iri his conduct, he is rep-resenting all these groups. Suchexperiences should contributeto the knowledge, skills, andemotional Patterns (attitudes'ideals, appreciations, etc.) thathe possesses, therebY, makingof trim a better Person andcrtizen, Interschool athleticsshould be an educational forceof great magnitude that Provide stasting values to Youth.
