PARK HIGH SEHHHV PRIJIIIHY WE llll IHH ACElAIM 66 Inappreciotion ofour beautiful new high school building, we would like to dedicate the T953 Antler to the new school and to those who made its construction possible. The Deer Park student body is very proud of the schooi and its surround- ing campus. We are also proud of the citizens who voted for the bond issue. Without the money received as a result of these bond issues the school would not have been built. A note of thanksis due the Boosters too, for theirpart in the completion of the football field. The faculty advisers, administration, P.T.A., and school board have combined to give Deer Park School on educationut program, which The stu- dents are very proud and happy to be part of. AHMINISIHAHHN The superinfendenf of our Deer Park school system, Carl E. Crawford, has been faking an active part in the administration of the School since 1941.

Let this be said of the Senior Class of 1953 who steadily grew from often disregarded and overlooked freshmen to successful and gloriously recognized Seniors. The year 1949 found a new and varied group of freshmen joyfully nodding the hallways of Deer Park as we entered high school life fresh out of Junior High. Although we were over- shadowed at the time by the upperclassmen, it wasnit long be- fore we began moving into the spotlight. We had many athletes participating on the sports scene, especially the varsity football squad with seventeen freshmen gridiron lovers. Our young basketeers on the reserve team were Reid Piercey, Don Henderson, Harold Grassman. and Ken Anders. Although there were several outstanding sophomores on the re- serves, our class furnished the high scorer in the person of Ken Anders. These activities are but a few in our Freshman year. But this 0 I l: I l: l R s is just the beginning ...... . . . . The next thing we know we find ourselves playing the roles of Sophomores as we plan and work farther. We started the year off by initiating the new freshmen at the annual Freshman-Sophomore Reception. Carrying on with the duties of the Student Council were Ralph Cotnett and John Buhrlage who succeeded Bev Kammann and Howard Walker. Again we had many athletes. Sophomores playing on the first string football squad were Ken Anders. Harold Grassman. Tip Manley, and Milt Hebauf. Grassman had the honor of being placed on the All-Valley first team. On the varsity basketball squad we were represented by Don Henderson. The reserves had nine more Sophomore hoopsters developing into Varsity material. Adding color to the scene were our attractive majorettes: Dot Fenner. Janet Ange, Bev Kammann, and Nancy Hopkins. As time passed slowly on, we moved into the upper bracket of high school life; in other words, we became Juniors. We were right on the heels of those carefree Seniors and next year we would take their place at the top of the ladder. We started the year by electing these capable officers to lead us: Nelson Kiefer. President; Ernie Ball, Jean Hostetlet. and Harold Grassman. Representation of the Class of '53 in the National Honor Society was very good. Our contributions to the membership Were: Betty Lou Ridge. Joan White, Jean Hostetler, Shirley Sammis, Eloise Orlemann, and Marv Englert. The Hi-Y Club was again assembled at Deer Park this year after being in moth balls for several winters. One of the main events in our Junior Year was the selection of Class Rings. We finally decided on gold, initialed rings with beautiful white mother-of-pearl settings bordered by ruby stones on either side and centered with our school emblem which set off the beauty of the ting. Again we turned to the sports scene with some very talented squads. Varsity basketball found a spot on the first squad for the hustling play of Don Henderson. Larry Dallman, Ken Anders and Harold Grassman who nearly crowded the senior boys on the squad completely out of the picture. We finished our baseball season with much more than a satisfactory record. Juniors on this squad were: Don Cart, Bob Baas, Ralph Cornett. Rog Holloway, and Ed Hess. Sparking an inspired football squad to the first winning season Deer Park has had since about 1944, was the outstanding playing of Harold Gtassman. Tip Manley. Ken Anders, Larry Dallman, and Milt Hebauf along with several others from the Class of '53. That brings us up to the most important event of our Junior year. This, of courseI was the iong-aWaited Junior-Senior From in May. which was held in the beautiful surroundings of the Hotel Gibson's exquisite ballroom. Needless to say. no prom is complete without a queen to reign with her beauty...As the magic hour finally arrived everyone impatiently waited with anxiety to see who would be the lucky one crowned Queen. The mystery was soon revealed when Nelson Kiefer. our president, had the privilege and extreme pleasure of planting a victory kiss on Miss Janet Ange. Miss Ange's attractive attendants were Helen Hinkel. Pat Hardy, Dot Fenner, Alice Schwaighart. Marlene Nunn, and Nancy Hopkins. We carefully stored away our precious memories of the unforgettable night as time beckoned us on to the highlights of the future. That priceless day when we officially became full-fledged Seniors finally arrived for the Class of '53. Our goal was now less than a year away as we constantly kept striving toward it. teontinued on page 19 JUNE BAUSE A smile for everyone S.A.A. 1.2.3.4.- Beta-Y 1.2; Alpha-Y 3.4; Style Show 1.2.4: Jr. Red Cross 2;Ushe1ette Parkers '51; Glee Club 3.4; Parkers '52.'53; Prom Committee 3; Office Assistant 4.

Lots of big events occurred in our Senior year as expected. :. .We were given the thrill of being the very first class to graduate from the spacious. beautiful site of the magnificent new building. just being completed at the time we entered. Class officers were elected for the last time in our high school careers. Nelson Kiefer again got the nod for president as he led the Class of '53 for the second year. The other officers selected were Bob Baas, Joan White, and Hal Mills. We were well spoken for in every phase of the schools activities and organizations. Seniors who held highest offices in each specific club were: Joan White, president of Alpha Y-Teens; Joyce Haines, president of the G.A. A.; Dramatics Club president, Jim Davis;Ra1ph Cornett, Hi-Y president; and Bob Baas. Orchestra president. Our yearbook staff was largely composed of Seniors. Joan White, well- chosen editor, was ably assisted by Howard Walker, assistant editor. On Student Council our representatives were veteran Ralph Cornett and Larry Dallman. The spectacular Fathers of '53 proved to be one of the best variety shows of its kind ever produced at this school; thanks to the hard work and fine blending voices of the Chorus, well led by Seniors. HOWeVer, we cannot rightfully end this paragraph without the mention of our great high school orchestra. Our sparkling new basketball court along with the enthused cheering of fellow classmates led by our two cute cheerleaders, Helen Hinkel and Betty Lou Ridge, inspired our varsity squad of all Seniors to a season's record which placed them close to the top of the valley standings. The five sparhplugs ofthe team were Larry Dallman, Ken Anders, Don Henderson, Reid Piercey, andTip Manley. The gridirons were red -hot when our fighting Wildcats tore the Valley League wide open and flatly refused to take another defeat after they dropped a tough ghrne early in the season. Playing their hearts out for their great rookie coach, Ralph Staubb. the varsity squad finally climbed into first place to stay. We finished the glorious season with a typical story-book ending as we clinched the MVIL Championship the hard way and then went on the massacre Milford 67-0, the highest score in the history of our school. To add more color to the subject of our story-book season. We Were undefeated on our new football field which was completedjust this year giving our football squad its first home in several seasons. The many Seniors on the Championship team had the honor of winning the MVIL crown in the last year of their high school careers. The proud Seniors who played a large part in the success of the team were Tip Manley, Milt Hebauf, Harold Grassman, Larry Dall- man, Ken Anders, Ernie Ball. Marv Ehglert. Hal Mills. John Buhrlage, Doug Planitz, Gerry Schraffenberget, Rog Holloway, Paul Finkle. and Wayne Cunningham. Milt Hebauf was picked on the All-City Squad along with our co-captains Harold Grassman and Ken Anders. As we skip over a few months we find ourselves inthe middle of April, with all of her spring showers. . . . . . . . ..rain, rain, and more RAIN. Whenyouthink of rain. past and present Seniors. what else do you have in mind?. . . .Aha. naturally you think of your trip to Washington. Every year it's the same thing. . .. RALN. But this year it Was different in one respect. The difference is plainly that the Class of '53 saved their money and went to New York, too. We had a top-drawet time seeing all the historical places and famous buildings that make this country of ours what it is. We saw what other Senior Classes didn't see: The Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building. Harlem. Manhatten, Tin Pan Alley, Macy's and finally the paradise of the United States, America's own pride and joy ---Brooklyn. nr 1'11 SENIHR ClASS HISIBRY The Class of '53 Was a little restless as they watched the days crawl by ever so slowly. The carefree Seniorclasswasawaiting a big event. And then the day arrived. The school was practically in chaos for it was Senior Day. What a riotl But things settled down again and our emotions started to change con- siderably. The seniors were getting tense. Again we were counting the days. Commencement Day finally appeared on the calendar. . . This was the greatest day of out liVES. . . As we tightly held out diplomas in our perspiring hands our eyes observed a new outlook on life. Our memoriesofhighschoolfun and frolic flashed back in our minds. Mortals cannot invent words that could express our feelings on the wonderful day. Werealized that now we Were on our very own, just startihg out on life's strange journey. Some of us were broken up a little deep down inside. We had climbed the long flight of stairs and were facing the door of opportunity which slowly opened before us. We glanced back ovet out shoulders for that one last look at our happy past. We could see in the foggy atmosphere far behind us a new group of fellow Americans struggling to reach the same goal we had just achieved, climbing the stairs we had just climbed. We smiled slightly and brushed away a tear as we turned away once more and looked ahead to our unknown future. Aswe humbly stood on the threshold of opportunity our eyes wandered into the misty haze before us, for somewhere in the distance beyond that thick mysterious haze stood the golden door of success. Many before have failed in their lon search to reach that same door. The Class of '53 cautiously took their first steg into the fog each choostng his own way to travel. Only the future will tell which ones find that ma 1c oor. gNow the Class of '53 is gone forever from the student-filled corridors of Deer Park High. . .Only the Echoing memories are left behind. The halls of Deer Park will always be filled with young Americans. Others may try to follow our footsteps, but only in vain. Somewhere they'll lose the way. NEVER. . .will there be another class anywhere that will compare with the Class of 1953. lASI WlllANB IESIAMENI We, the Seniors of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty Three, being of intellectual mind and sound body, do make and sealthis declaration for the disposal of our property.

Coach Ralph Staub. in his freshman year of coaching. pi- loted the Parkers to a record of 8 wins in 9 games plus a win in the Pigskin Prevue. The opening call for practice was first made on August 20 with 17 lettetmen reporting along with a number of promising freshmen. Those next two weeks entailed quite a bit of hot. SWeaty practice in expectation of the Preview game to be held at N.C. H. on the hire of September 6th. Milt Hebauf scored the lone touchdownin the abbreviated tussle with Wyoming after a blocked kick by Gerry Schraff and Stan Aszman as the Wildcats won 7 to 0 and added to RCII h Stcu the total of the East teams. 5 H pd C l: Mariemontwasthe firsttegulatly scheduledleague game JCtmes Come ea 00c and the Parkerscome through in grand fashion as they came ASSIsfunf COGCh from behind to seal 3 I3 to 6 verdict. The one and only let-down ofthe season came in the second game as the Wildcats succumbed to a fired-up Wyoming Cowboy crew by a 25 to 14 score. The 'Cats built up a two touchdown lead at halftime. but over-confidence set in as the Cowboys scored four times in the last half. The next three rivals were met and overcome in an amiable fashion as our Wildcats marched on. The three teams conquered were Loveland 19 to 14, Greenhills 13 to 12. and Country Day 18 to o. The Reading gamefound the Patketswith a cry of revenge on their lips as they remembered the game the year before and how our players had been carried from the field in going down to a 32 to 6 defeat. After leading by only 6 to 0 at halftime the Wildcats applied the pressure and chalked up a 31 to 6 triumph. Lockland was overcome by 12 to 7 and we were thrown into the lead in the M.V.I. L. Then came the St. Bernard game and this was the game we needed to sew up the first football title in Deer Park's History. The Titans football title in Deer Park is a tremendous accomplishment. They piled up a tremendous 19 to 6 advantage but a group of fighting Wildcats who didn't know the meaning of the word defeat fought back and won an almost impossible 26 to 19 victory. Our last rival was Milford and we were heavily favored to win. Everyone got into the act as the completely out- manned Milford Team bowed by a 67 to 0 count. ' Following the season a super colossal banquet was given at Hartwell Country Club on November 24th and letters and gold footballs, designating the league championship, were aWarded. Sid Gillman.

A vocal-instrumental program was given in February, at which time the chorus shone. When the curtain rose for the Parkers, this singing group was again in the spotlight. Deer Park was well-represented in the All-Stote Chorus, as they took part in the Annual Folk Festivct. The baccalaureate service concluded the chorus' activities for the year.

They did a fine job of leading the band and made DeerPark Highproud to claim them as the leaders of our band. Majorettes: Nancy Hopkins, DotFenner, Bev Kammann, seniors; Bev Million, junior: and Jan Fryburger. sophomore. Drum Major; Doak Walker, senior. The bond, under the very capable direction of Mr. Dove Hessong, has presented many fine programs during the 1952-63 season. The marching band during football season supported our championship team at all the games and entertained at the half with formations, marches, and tributes. With the coming of winter, the marchers became the concert band. The group presented its first program as part of the Early Spring Concert in February. They followed by presenting numbers at the Student Council Assembly; and, in the late spring, gave the First aIl-Sousc concert ever to be presented at the school. The band concluded the year with a gala picnic and awarding of letters and keys.

As members of the staff, the entire Journalismcloss worked coilectively to put out an interesting paper. After the news, articles, and columns were written, edited, and organized, it was sent to the printer. The paper came out once 0 month: and when it did, all ciasswork stopped, for all were anxious to read the latest gossip. The paper had much to work with this year. Being our First year in the new school, there were many interesting topics concerned with it to be written for the Tom-Tom. The football championship, our first bosketbaii game in the new gym, Pdrkers, and many other events mode the Tom-Tom a widely read paper; for, it can honestly be said that, if it happened, you can read it in the Tom-Tom. Under the leadership of the editor-in-chief, Betty Ridge, the paper was always filled with Up-to-the-minute news. With the help of Mr. JacksonHeimer, journalism teacher, and Miss Helen Spurr, Business Manager, the Tom-Tom of '53 was one of the best ever. 48 ANHEHS SIAH m mmmagmagti , , Editor-in-Chief, Joan White; Assistant Editor, Howard Walker; Senior Editor, Nancy Hopkins; Activities Editor, Jean Hostetler; Art Editor, John Buhriage; Sports Editors, Gerry Schraffenberger and Roger Holloway:Business Manager, Don Carr: Advertising Manager, Barbara Spicer.
