S njUDJl ClaAA SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Robert Polant:. Vice-President: Doris Parker. Secretary-Treasurer: Richard Weaver. President. The Senior class elected Richard Weaver to be their president for the fourth consecutive year, while Robert Polantz served as vice-president and Doris Parker, secretary-treasurer. Having reached the top after eleven years of painstaking struggle, the class of 1953 enjoyed the honor and prestige which rightfully belongs to those who reach their goal and become seniors. Even the twelfth and last year had its rough spots, with class pressures such as Problems of Democracy or Macbeth competing with the pressures of a whirl of extra- curricular activities in which the class took its place as leader. Despite the burden of out- side influences, the class consistently placed many of its members on the honor roll, with Shir- lee Dugan, Patricia Kemeny, Shirley Kimmell, Nona Wilson, Darlene Emeigh, Carolyn Mos- toller, Mary Ruth Kish, Richard Voytko, and Ruth Retallack carrying the scholastic honors. The school newspaper, The Courier, and the yearbook. The Reflector, were heavily staffed with proficient members of the senior group. In addition to showing the way in these or- ganizations, seniors played important roles in student council planning, noon-time activi- ties, newscasting, cheerleading, all athletic programs, and the Senior Y-Teens. As the period of public school education draws to a close, the members of this class can look back to happy years filled with poignant memories; they can look ahead as they stand on the threshold of adult life, confident in the knowledge that they have prepared well for the wonderful mysteries which lie ahead.
