aaa ,jwhafory 1953 Shooting began for our film in September 1949, when we entered the studios of Kingston High School as Freshmen. Terrified, confused, and bewildered as we were, by the new and different cast, scenery, and locality, we immediately went to work on the roles that we had selected. Many entirely new experiences presented themselves to us, such as formal dances, mid-terms and final exams, the Iunior and Senior Plays, and the Star Dust Review, but we as Freshmen were forced to watch most of these from the sidelines. Then before it seemed pos- sible, the summer had come and it was time for the entire com- pany to take a much needed rest. Shooting began for the second time in September 1950, when refreshed and very much alive, we returned to the lot determined to be one of the outstanding classes to graduate from K.H.S. By now we had come to know our producers and directors quite well and were therefore able to feel very much at home on the set. Now everyone became much more active in all of the activities. Then came the close of our second year and with it came the knowledge that we had the completed half of our production. September 1951 marked the beginning of the third year of shooting for our film. Still as vivacious as ever and sparkling with a new spirit, we were able to make this year a memorable one in our history by undertaking and completing several pro- jects with astonishing success. Among these was our Iunior play, entitled Home Sweet Homicide. Later our magazine campaign, during which we entered into competition with the Seniors, proved not only that we possessed superior salesmanship, but also that we had a strong will to progress financially in our plans for our Senior trip to Wash- ington, D. C. After our final exams were finished, we again rolled up our sleevs and went to work on our Iunior-Senior Prom which was held for the graduating class early in Iune. Through much ingenuity and ever more hard work, plus the Cfadlr Oem A TRAIL At last we have come to one goal on a trail, A trail full of happiness, learning and truth, ' A trail lined with classmates and teachers, our guides, A trail we have followed the whole of our youth. A trail that has pointed the way to success, And one we can follow with pleasure and strife: A trail without branches or sharp-turning curves. A trail that will lead us, God willing, through life. It's true we've mastered one lap of the trip, And vict'ry is sweet to the conqueror bold. But we must remember the rest of our lives That glory depends on the character we mold. Cynthia Williams combined efforts of everyone, particularly our sponsors Miss Zawatski and Mr. Keefer, we were able to make this event a tremendous success. With a much larger vault of knowledge to our credit we again looked to the summer for three full months of pleasure before beginning our fourth, final, and big- gest year. Our final session on the set began on September 3, 1952. Some of us retumed, glad that in Iune we would be free to do as we pleased and conquer new worlds, while others dreaded that day when we would leave the protection and guidance we lgald received during our four-year sojoum in Kingston High c oo . But both groups joined forces and we were on our way to prove that we would always be remembered as the best senior class Kingston ever had. We began our campaign by selling magazine subscriptions and then undertook the production of our outstanding play MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS . Other fund-raising projects were held such as the sale of lubrication tickets and later on, greeting cards. The Stardust Review in May featured many seniors which explains why it was the best ever given. Away to Washington we went after four years of hard work and eager anticipation. It was all we had dreamed of and more. Retuming home, we settled down to the grim procedure of our final final exams. Then that day which had been our goal for twelve years -Commencement--was finally upon us and we all faced the future, confident that we were the best class ever to graduate from Kingston High School-the class of '53. ur ina e The final curtain has been drawn upon our high school years, A hush depends upon the room once filled with robust cheers. All hearts are heavy, filled with memories we shan't forget: Of things we've shared in Work and play and fine friends that we've met. But suddenly the stillness breaks, for there before our eyes The curtain is parted, a light upon it lies. We move closer to it, so that we may look within, We find a long and narrow path-here lighted--and there dim. This path leads to our future, whatever it may be What lies ahead we do not know: before long we shall see. For down this road of plans and dreams there is a place for all. An outlet for the mighty, protection for the small. What fate we'll meet in future years, what honors we shall gain, What sacrifices we shall make, what hours spent in pain They're marked beside the road that we shall soon embark, Whether we walk where the light is, or wander in the dark. But yet we start our journey with a smile and not a sigh, We're comforted inside by the memories of Kingston High. Rosalie Eisenstein
