I just heard on the News that the upcoming seniors at
Marieta High School rolled the campus with toilet paper last night. A tradition going back at least 60 years the
report said.
Sixty years? That
started about 4 years after I was a MHS Senior.
Darn!
However, one time at a football game on a Friday night Parks
Grover and Leslie Haygood smuggled in a
bunch of rolls of toilet paper under their windbreakers.
At halftime when the opposing team’s marching band made their
musical march of instruments on to the
field Parks and Leslie rolled the
playing field.
Parks was an expert toilet paper thrower. He knew how to throw it high in the air and
it unraveled as it went, making a show like fireworks.
Some streams of toilet paper got caught up in the electrical
lines and dangled and waved with the wind.
Other toilet streams landed onto other moving musicians and some were dragging toilet
paper tangled up in their legs and shoes, but their music played on. I don’t think they missed a beat. That
is dedication.
