Any
time we have something of important to send to our 1957 classmates, we
send out e-mails to everyone on our e-mail list. If you wish to be
included
in these e-mail alerts, please send an e-mail to Thomas Wimberly. |

Many
of our classmates have signed-up with Classmates.com and are listed
under
1953-1957 Marion High School students. We neither endorse or
recommend
Classmates but their free service at least lets other classmates know
the
listed classmates has an e-mail address. We will try to provide the
same
type of service in our e-mail list on this site and it won't cost any
fees
to contact your long-lost friends. |

served as a high school to the students of Marion and the surrounding
areas. |

Here
is your opportunity to look at the floor plan of the High School
Building

MHS!
Floor plans are in PDF format and can be down- loaded and printed out
on
your printer. |
Right click
on the image to the right and choose "View Image" for a larger image of
the Loyalty Song.
You can
also click on the "play" symbol on the Quick Time icon above to hear
"yours
truly" try to sing the Loyalty song. No comments on my singing, please!
The sheet
music of the song states George Ashley originated this version of the
song
but other versions were used as far back as I can remember.

On
Friday, May 10, 1957, the Class of 1957 had their Junior-Senior prom at
the "Girls Gym."
Our class
is fortunate to have film of the parade of "happy dancers" as they
marched
into the Orpheum Theater that night to see a movie.
Louis
Fluck produced a DVD of our Senior Year, including the parade of the
"happy
dancers". A copy can be obtained from Louis by contacting him at his
e-mail
address. For a clip of the DVD, click on the "Junior-Senior Prom"
hyperlink above. A copy of this movie has been uploaded to
"YouTube.com". |
