SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The history of the Senior Class of 1953 dates back to September of 1949, the date on which we en- rolled in Sutton High School. Our freshman class of 127 students had as its sponsors, Mrs. Frances Howard, Mr. Roy Brosius, and Mr. David McElwain. Soon after our enrollment we had our first class meeting where we selected class officers, cheerleaders, and our class colors and name. Sally Brown was elected class Pres- identg Virginia Carroll, Vice -Presidentg Frances West- fall, Secretary, and Lee Jack Kaufman, Treasurer. NancyGregory was our varsity cheerleader, and Susan Emerich and Patty Greene were class cheerleaders. We chose scarlet and gray as our class colors and the name, Express. September came again and our Sophomore class had lost some of its students. We still had our same three sponsors. This year's class officials were Sally Brown, President: Jerry Pierson, Vice-President, Vir- ginia Carroll, Secretaryg and Patty Greene, Treas- urer. Our class cheerleaders were Susan Emerich, Betty Skidmore, and Frances Westfall. That spring we won as the best cheering section, although we lost in the tournament. Then before we realized it we were Juniors. We combined our home rooms into two, and our sponsors were now Mr. Brosius and Mrs. Howard. This year our enrollment was somewhat smaller. In our annual class election, Patty Greene was elected President, Sally Brown, Vice-President, Virginia Carroll, Secretary: and Jerry Pierson, Treasurer. Susan Emerich, Nancy Gregory, and Jerry Pierson were class cheerleaders. Our goalthis year was to raise enough money for the Junior-Senior prom. This was done by selling candy, pencils, and billfolds, and ,most important of all -our play, entitled, Aubrey Writes a Book. The cast ln- cluded Rosemary Eubank, Fay Greathouse, Patty Greene, Nancy Gregory, Frances Westfall, Jerry Pier- son, Lee Jack Kaufman, and John Van Gilder. The play was a success under the patience and fine direct- ing of Mr. Brosius, Miss Jean Robinson, and Mrs. Al- berta Miller, and of the many students who helped. We again won the cheering cup thanks to the untir- ing leadership of Jerry Pierson who won as best cheer- leader. We ordered our class rings that spring and then came the prom. For this event we used a rain- bow theme in our decorating and everyone agreed the gymnasium was never more beautiful. September came again as before, but this time it found us as Seniors. Our once large class of 127 students had dropped in number to 57, ln our annual class election Bill Hawkins was elected class Pres- identg Lee Jack Kaufman, Vice-Presidentg Ann Mor- ton, Secretaryg and John Van Gilder, Treasurer. We selected the red rose as our class flower and our mot- to as We pull the most when we pull together.
