THE MARLINIAN
Friday, May 8, 1925

     Since the very first edition of the Marlinian it has been the sole purpose of the editor to record for the pleasure of the student body, the scholastic events and activities of Marlin High School; to enlighten each student with the work and enjoyment of his fellow students; to serve as a stimulus to all the working departments of the school as an outlet of the excitement and enthusiasm of each phase of the work; to act as a booster for school spirit in general. The editorials have been largely relevant to the school body, with no especial interest to outsiders who were not vitally interested in the school and its activities. We appreciate the way in which every subscriber has taken our efforts to make the publication acceptable to them.

     Now it comes about that the Senior class has found it impossible to edit an annual, "The Students' Voice", as it has formerly been accustomed to, because of financial conditions. So the Marlinian must serve the purpose of and act in the stead of that annual, yet differ in form from one, keeping its form of a magazine, so that it may be published on its own funds. There are to be the outstanding traditions of having the Senior pictures, class history, prophecy, and other editorials included in the issue combined with its regular duties and functions. Therefore the Senior class is prominent in this issue since its members are about to depart from Marlin High. With this in view, a happy idea was conceived of turning several pages over to the autographs of teachers and classmates of each subscriber. In that way we can make a memory book for Seniors out of it.

     The combining of memory book, magazine, and annual with the magazine predominant, was a tedious task, so may this difficulty be borne in mind by those who peruse the pages.

     Our mistakes or our possible failure to hit our mark must be overlooked.

     Each contributor has been chosen from the ranks of the English stars to be representatives and adept in the particular type of literature assigned to him. We have tried to keep the whole thing on a hig h intellectual plane, yet rob it of none of its interest and humorous sketches for the enjoyment of the reader.

     Far be it from our purpose to make it dry or "preachy".

     Due appreciation is given to those who deserve it. Even the mechanical drawing students have helped-in decorations which go to make the publication attractive to the reader who seeks entertainment, amusement, and educational value in our paper.
                    -The Editor.

    To Mr. W. T. Betts, one whom we realize we owe too great a debt to be calculated and estimated in the timeworn phrases and platitudes; whom we sincerely admire and respect; whom we consider the true encouragement, inspiration, and force of this publication; under whom we do not hesitate to leave the future staffs of the Marlinian with out a thought of a possible failure of the paper; and, most of all, who in the inspirator, mentor and perpetrator of the idea of the Marlinian, we do now and here give this - DEDICATION.

Ice Health
    The Regular use of ice is one of the finest and cheapest forms of insurance you can get.

    Regular, year-a-round buying if ice means fewer calls for the doctor.

    This is especially true where there are children in the family. The well iced refrigerator is the only safe place to keep food any time.

Marlin Bulldogs


    The Marlin football season opened in September at Rimes park with Bremond. The season was made very successful by the winning of the district championship and by entering into the final stretch. Marlin went undefeated until the end. They reached the one goal, long and sought for. Waco. There they were defeated, but went down in the battle like heroes. Not a word was said about their loss because as Mr. Mac. would say, "A thoroughbred never whimpers."

    Editor's Note: Although these "farewell messages" and "good wills" are picked at random from the memory books of individual seniors, and we so not hesitate to say that any senior leaving old Marlin High School may read these and take to heart the messages written there in. These short paragraphs from members of the faculty will be held as connecting links in the chain of happy memories we hold for our Alma Mater.
