Gone forever will be the harmony and discord of school life, the fun we had and the friends we made. It is the hope of the 1954 Pan- ther Tale Staff that, as you glance through this book in the years to come, you will recapture each blending note and the echoes will begin again. I J... I EMBER 9.

Compliments of STAR DYERS 8: CLEANERS 6 TO THE CLASS OF 1954 Three years of high school can seem very short when grad- uation time arrives, as you have discovered, but the events would fill many pages and be interest- ing to read. After graduation I wish that you will frequently think back with satisfaction on years that have pas sed, and that you will look forward with confidence based upon your experience in school. WARD W.

Good Luck To Next Year's Seniors THE 1954 ANNUAL STAFF , G0lDlN Thoughts On Gr actuation We're glad we were exposed To what our teachers taught, Although we didn't always Study as we ought. Three years ago it seemed This day would never comel As sophomores from Junior high, We were both young and dumb, Glad, too, we are for fun At games and gay affairs, Where we could all let go And forget our textbook cares, But time has swiftly passed, And blessed by kindly fate. We're shocked to tind ourselves About to graduate. We're sorry now to leave The ones we know as friend: But as it has been said, Good things, too, must end. It' you ask us how it feels- It's neither good nor bad: It's sort of in between- We feel both glad and sad. were even half-way Sad To leave our teachers who Have tried in every way To make us think and do. We're glad that we have passed An important milestone: That now we are more free T0 try things out alone. T? W':.i:T,g r We'll miss Walt's ready jokes And Parm's wise words of lifeg The Warden's counciling, To help us when in strife. We'll find that we will want To come back now and then, We'll wish sometimes that we Could do it all again. Tonight we still are one- One class in work and play, But soon we will be parted, As each one goes his way. Before we part, one wish- As to new goals we soar: Good health and happy landing To the class of '54, Compliments Of HARRIS MILLING COMPANY 193 xkh fur' 4 , I L . .1 E ,V A NINIH GRAHI RA UUII L A , , A W law, . , W -, - , V, , j A' 1 1 ,Y L W, , v gr Numan.. are -1.-'L Wk .

'53 CROSS COUNTRY SCHEDULE The Alma Harriers opened their 1953 season on October 3 with the Hastings Invitational. Alma was first with Z9 points. One week later at Grand Ledge the Harriers ran up a perfect score, 15-50, by finishing the first seven runners. The boys trounced Mt. Pleasant, 19-44. Next came the Alma Invitational. Here they tied with Livonia Bentley with 51 points. However, the Harriers made a great comeback at Albion, winning by 14 points, over some of the state's top teams. For the first time in the history of Cross country in Michigan regionals were held. Alma won the Lansing regionals. The season came to a close with the state meet at Ypsilanti on Nov. 7. For the first time in four years the Alma Harriers did not win the championship. However, they did make a great showing, finishing second behind a strong Trenton team. S-on-un!

Y The Alma Panthers in their first year as members of the North Central Class B Confer- ence demonstrated in all sports that they were not to be easily swayed from the path of victory. In football the Alma lads showed great improvement and excellent competitive spirit under the wing of their new coach, Joe Thibedeau. In cross-country the Harriers won all but two of their meets and finished in second place at the state finals. The Alma High cagers, too, made a great bid for conference honors, winning eleven games and losing only five, and were narrowly edged out of the Regionals by Mt. Pleasant. The spring sports were, as usual, outstanding in the sports news. Weakened by the loss of last year's veterans, the golf team lost most of their matches. However, they show promise of being an up and coming team next year. The track team had an average year. The number of contenders for this sport at the begin- ning of the year was greater than usual but they did not show as much team strength as was earlier anticipated. The baseball team lived up to earlier expectation and fielded a team that gained in learning along with enjoyment, finishing second in the conference. Alma High need not feel ashamed in any sport in which it participated during the preced- ing year. Q -LTU ,U . 1 . .. , l Sponsored by FRED 0'BOYLE TRUCKING S - 1 L 4.
