"No one had more fun teaching than I." Mrs. Marston passed away on April 1 at the age of 98. She came to Latin in 1942 and served the school as an elementary teacher, lower school director and reading lab coordinator for more than 30 years. She was a role model for many young teachers and continued to influence the lives of her students long after they graduated. After leaving Latin, Mrs. Marston moved to Wenona, IL with husband Bill where they shared a love for music and travel as well as a commitment to philanthropy. But, even in retirement, Mrs. Marston remained a devoted friend of Latin, frequently sharing fond memories of guiding students 60 Latin Magazine through hands-on learning projects like building teepees, igloos and rocket ships, or watching chickens hatch in an incubator. She also often spoke of partnering with music teacher Mary Maj on student musical productions. A number of Mrs. Marston's students remained in contact with her over the years, exchanging holiday cards, letters, phone calls, or visiting her at the Marston home in Wenona. Karen Kearns '56 remembers Mrs. Marston with these words: "The death of Marjorie Marston certainly marks the end of an era – one in which we could pretend that no one has changed at all. In my mind Marjorie Marston will always remain the eternally young bride intent upon civilizing gangs of unruly first graders, while her handsome, warrior husband fought to save civilization itself in Hawaii. I hope she realized how much we all appreciated her, and how fondly she will always be remembered." Mrs. Marston was a well-loved, integral, and unforgettable member of the Latin community. We extend our sincere condolences to her many friends and family. She will be missed. l
