iillnward Toward a Higher Aims' Four years to go and goal in sight, We chose our flower the carnation white, And Old Rose and Silver lead us through bright. Some have faltered and fallen from strife, Giving up when the pace seemed slow, our school days But others Onward Toward o Higher Aim still go. We entered the last year with goal in sight, Twenty-one entered to finish the fight. We worked faithfully and struggled to capture the goal, For success we learned, one must pay the toll. We want to drink from the victor's cup, And smile with the rest when the time is up. Farewell to teachers and to our friends, Farewell to the twelve happy years we've spent. May the Lord bless each one and all, And help us to share and not let us fall. We shall always remember for real gain, Our motto, Onward Toward a Higher Aim. -Shi rley Lenhart

SENIOR CLASS HI TIIRY ln the fall of 1941, the future graduating class of 1953 came to school for the first time. Twelve years ago each of us lived in his own world. But then, we came to school- some of us didn't want to come. We didn't want to leave our own small worlds. But our curiosities and our wonderings pushed us out and on. Gradually we progressed in the following years. When we reached the fifth and sixth grades, our class had several members in the Elementary Chorus and several students had also joined the band and orchestra. Then came the day we had long awaited- we were promoted upstairs with the high school. In the seventh and eighth grades we learned to do without recesses and managed to get used to going from room to room for our different classes. We were also given those memorable eighth grade tests. FRESHMEN at last! Oh, how grown-up we thought we were and how sophisticated until the fateful day-Initiation. We finally strug- gled through all the embarrassment of being Greenies and were really in at last. This first year in high school we joined in almost all of the scheduled activities. Our class officers were: President, Floyd Hissong, Vice Presi- dent, Patsy Noel, Secretary, Shirley Lenhart, Treasurer, Larry Myers, and Reporter Janet Boes. For our class motto we chose: ON- WARD TOWARD A HIGHER AIM. Our class colors: Old Rose and Silver, and our flower, the White Carnation. Also this first year we had two members from our class as Student Coun- cil representatives. They were Barbara Cramer and Marion Peters. This year Mr. Richard Reis was our class sponsor. Next came the Sophomore year. We elected the following officers: President, Janet Boes, Vice President, Glen Saltzman, Secretary, Shirley Lenhart, Treasurer, Larry Myers, and Reporter, Floyd Hissong. Glen Saltzman and Janet Ziessler were the Student Council repre- sentatives. This year we had the pleasure of initiating the Freshmen. What a time we had making them recite their rituals! We also participated in the operetta, The Gypsy Rover. This year two of our members were also elected as Cheerleaders. Again, Mr. Reis was our sponsor. Our Junior year rolled around very quickly. 5imon's Apparel Exclusive Ladies' Wear Popular Prices Findlay, Ohio This year was very busy for us with the choos- ing of class rings, averaging grades for the Honor Society, presenting the Junior Play, Quiet Summer, and last but not least, enter- taining the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Ban- quet held May 17, at the Y. M. C. A. in Fos- toria, Ohio. The class officers this year were: President, Glen Saltzman, Vice President, Jim Steyer, Secretary, Shirley Rainey, Treasurer, Floyd Hissong, and Reporter, Carl Ziessler. We elected Bob Good as Student Council representative. This year our class obtained a new sponsor, Mr. Robinson. We also helped in the publishing of the Arcadian. In the fall of the year 1952, we entered school for our last wonderful year. We were finally Seniors. The time had come for us to make decisions. This year we chose once again our class officers. They were: President, Glen Saltzman, Vice President, Jim Steyer, Secretary, Shirley Rainey, Treasurer, Floyd Hissong, and Reporter, Jim Warren. Student Council representatives were Janet Ziessler and Bob Good. Our Senior class sponsor was Mr. Robinson. This year we had the respon- sibility of seeing that The Arcadian was published. Again we showed our dramatic ability in presenting the Senior Play, Nine Girls, under the direction of Mrs. Sharning- house. We were also honored by having five members on the National Honor Society. The Juniors entertained us at the Junior-Senior Banquet held in May. Baccalaureate services were held Sunday, May 17. Commencement exercises were held the 21st of May. Dr. MacDonald, president of Bowling Green State University, gave the address. Out of the group of students who started school together, only eleven remain. We have acquired and lost several of our members during these twelve years. Now we are standing on the threshold of the world. What it has in store for us, we do not know. The world is ready for us, we are ready for the world. We came to school, but now we are leaving. Once more we leave the security behind that we have built up in these past twelve years witlr our friends and teachers and we are stepping out into the world only to try to succeed and going ON- WARD TOWARD A HIGHER AIM.
