YEARBOOK

       A yearbook is a treasure of memories from the good old days. A keepsake to pass on to the children and grandchildren.... that they may know the history of their family.
      Yes, they may giggle at the hairstyles and prudish way of dress, but through the exterior they will see a dad, a mom, a grandparent, a family member in a new light. Through the pages of time, they will see the youth of a bygone era. Hard to believe, but yes, we were teenagers too!
   And they will see in the Annual a Cadet Corps that was the "finest in the land."  Young boys who turned into gentlemen and young girls who turned into ladies.
 What a legacy it is to leave a yearbook.... and especially.....a book of the years spent at John Marshall High.

 Gordon Drumheller, Company  D, 1958 had a lucky find:Vintage John Marshall Yearbooks! He is sharing some of the pages with his fellow Marshallites.

  He states:  I came across, and purchased, two old John Marshall Annuals  (“The Marshallite”; dated: 1916 & 1919) in an antique store in Hopewell. The 1916 Annual was of special interest because it depicted the first full year after the creation of the Corps (1915)….It may actually be the initial  JM Annual with a photographic history of the entire Corps?   One of the ‘battalion” pages gives a recent history (in 1916) of the creation of the Corps, initial membership (240), and those involved. It also indicates that Companies “E” & “F” were to be created in 1917 due to 150 new enlistments.
