JUNIOR RESPONSE To you, the stately members of the distinguished class of '53--we have a few well chosen remarks which we think you will appreciate before stepping out into the cold world. Harold Harris: It isn't every senior who can have a private office with running water. Keep up the good work by writing to the army. They say it keeps up their morale. We'll miss you as our diplomat to Harts -burg. How have you been spending these lonely hours without Joyce ? When you leave, A. C. H. S. will be losing a valuable pillar. Is your hope chest full of milk bottles? Keep practicing on the drums. We hear the State School Colony Drum Bugle Corps has a vacancy. The girls of A. C. H. S. will dearly miss your devilish pranks. It won't be long before the wedding bells will be chiming for you--instead of school bells. We hear you're a steady customer of the Hartenbaur Optical Co. Do you expect to get a credit in ping pong from Rose's Barber Shop? You should spend those afternoons in school. No wonder teachers get grey hair when you ask such questions as-- How high is up? When you leave ol' A. C. H. S. , who will get Virginia to band on time? Glad you made it--you had everyone worried. Your musical talent will really take you places. Gabriel may even need an assistant. A telephone pole is no place to park your car on New Year's Eve. Is your Favorite song My Gal Sal ? A medal to you for mastering the big bass . We hear you've signed a '54 contract with the Peoria Powder Puff Baseball Team. Being the baby of the class hasn't spoiled you. What makes you so attractice to all the girls ? Thanking you for your kind will and testament we hereby wish you success in your new adventure of life.
