Marlene's 1955 Class Yearbook bio reads:

"Music, especially in the field of singing, seemed to hold great interest for Marlene, whose ambition is to be a singer. She was outstanding in the Sophomore Assembly and Talent Show. She also worked on the Spanish Club, Commission of School Affairs, A.G.S. Activitieis Committee, After-school Sports, and was in A Cappella for 4 years. Kids that Marlene leaches money from and expect her to pay them back is her pet peeve. She's going to Brigham Young University."
