C7444 lm tory One early September morning we shyly took our place as the eighth grade of 1949. We found the high school very dif- ferent from the grade schools, where we spent our first seven years. The studies were the same but still, somehow, different. Maybe it was the confusement and idea of being in high school. But something changed school from a requirement to a pleasure. It was in our eighth grade year that we made our first attempt to work as a team. We sold magazines, which gave us a start as a class. As Freshmen, we began to pick up momentum, by now we were accustomed to the new rules and were acquainted with most of the upperclassmen. That year we were given the chance to ioin the Girls' Athletic Association, which almost every girl took advantage of by ioining. And at this time the boys were permitted to go out for sports. It was this year that the Y-Teen girls gave us a welcoming party. Then, when we were Sophomores, we really got into the thick of things by ioining the Y-Teens and the Hi-Y. By then we were beginning to realize that we were coming up in the world, there was actually someone beneath us that we could call under- classmen. Next came our Junior Year, which was the year that our class learned to work as a unit. For it was that year that the Junior-Senior Prom, Central Park , was given for the seniors. Even though we were dead tired from getting things ready, the majority of us went and had a wonderful time dancing to the music of Lee Kelton and his orchestra. We also presented our Junior Class Play, Demon In The Dark , which required much co- operation from the whole class. The Junior Year brought us an- other memorable day. The day we received our class rings. It was then that we realized how far we had come since we first entered Snowden High iust four short years ago. It was then, that year at graduation, that we ourselves, in one year, would be taking our places on that very same stage in those same graduation gowns. Then, as Seniors, we experienced some of the greatest events of our lives. Since the first day of our Senior Year we have not had time to stop. It has lust been one thing after another. Be- sides taking part in the numerous money-making proiects, many other activities kept busy as only Seniors can be. A few of these numerous things were: getting our senior pictures taken, writing namecards, working on the Aquila, and class play, Here Comes Charlie , and selling Christmas Cards. Amid all this hustle and bustle, Graduation Day crept up on us and we found ourselves thrown again into a mad ordeal of preparation. After Graduation Day, we thought we could rest, but then came the Washington trip, which is the shining memory of our school career. 27 motto Freedom Through Wisdom, Not Through War C'olvrA Black and White Wower Yellow Rose Song lTune- When The Lights Go On Again J Now the Class of '53 is saying goodbye To our teachers and our friends here at Snowden High.
