Class History At the beginning of the school year in 1941, 23 pupils started to school. Out of the 23 which started there are 11 of us graduating. We were taught our ABC's by Miss Ruth Johnson. Mrs. Edith Jones was our teacher in the second and third grades. During the third grade Deloris Price became a member of the class. Remember how we use to say we lost our ReadingBooks and got to set with each other. Was- n't it fun? The fourth grade was under the instructions of Mrs. Mable Wright and Mrs. Eva Zinn. Mr. D. Edwin Jones taught us in the fifth and six grades. Richard Krugh became a member in the six grade. In the seventh and eight gradesMrs. Emerald Pugh instructed us. During the seventh grade Clark Shaffer be- came a member of our class. Remember when Marvin Welker had to stand in front of the class with gum on this nose. We finally became members of high school. As Freshmen we were not any greener than any other Freshmen. Mrs. Lois Shackelford was our sponsor. It was during our Sophomore year that our good characterists began to really come forward. The class entered into many activities of the school. This year Mrs. Frances Robinson was our sponsor. The Junior year found us more conscious of our importance in school. One of our marked triumph was Calm Yourself , under the supervision of Mr. John Keller. As underclassmen we had always look forward to the time when we could wear our class rings and now---our dreams have come true. Seniors! The height of our ambitions up to the time we reached it---and then---were we ready? At first we felt horrified and incapable since we were the oldest students in school and much depended on us butin a short time we were ready for work. The last events ofthe year willnever be forgotten by all of us. The Class Play, Baccalureate, and Commence- ment are all marked events in our school life that we love. Can we say that in May, 1953 the class of '53 died? It is true it ceased to exist as organized in York High School. But its members will always carry with them that spirit of The Class of '53.
