The Elstonia Showboat docked May 29, 1953, at Barker Hall for the Junior Prom. After an appetizing banquet a delightful program was presented. The acts were replicas of the vaudeville shows on the old floating theatres. Surely this event will be firmly entrenched in our memories. 24

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY MRS. SPRAGUE MR. MAXEY The Class of 1954 has a right to be proud of its accomplishments in the senior year. These achievements would not have been possible without the guidance of our two sponsors, Mrs. Marion Sprague and Mr. Sheldon Maxey. There were three who carried a large amount of the responsibility: Paul Pittsford, president, Blake Water- house, vice-president, and Jania Martin, secretary-treasurer. Under this leadership the Class started a precedent of having a Senior Banquet, which was held on May 14. Ranking equally in recognition is the Senior play, LADIES OF THE JURY, which was performed before a capacity crowd on March 19, and the publication of the 1954 ELSTONIAN. I Successfully ending our high school career was the meeting in the study hall as one large group the final semester. On the following pages you will find pictures of the members of the graduating class except for the few for whom we have no pictures. They are Gerald Ellis, Her- bert Gardner, William Geleske-, Garry Hadders, Charles Hanke, Bennie Mack, Jon Papineau, Conard Parker, Robert Parker, Betty Haggins, and Betty Westerfield.
