Class History Back in the days of '41 we the Class of '53 started our careers as well be- haved boys and girls at the Eastside School with Miss Donovan as our teacher. After six years of hard work and earning a wonderful reputation, we were gladly pushed on to the 7th and 8th grades. After two years at hard labor in which nothing exciting happened, we received our Diplomas in May of '49. Into high school we went. We elected Beverly Heftie, President, Hallie Bickle, Vice President; and Betty Waterland, Secretary. Miss Joy Runyan was our sponsor. After a few weeks we underwent the ceremony of initiation in which the boys were made to wear high heels, nylons, ladies dresses, ribbons in curled hair, five bracelets on ankles, purses and make-up. The girls were made to wear skirts three inches above their knees, their father's shirts, straight hair, hats and no make-up, boys' shoes and socks, and no jewelry. After giving a delight- ful performance for the entire school, we became full-fledged students of Baker High with the help of the mighty sophomores. After three months of vacation, we again entered the halls of Baker High electing Doug Plummer, President; Dick Steiber, Vice-President; Gloria Ever- son, Secretary-Treasurer, and Mr. Langston as our sponsor. One of the highlights of our junior year was our three-act play Spring F ever under the direction of Miss Dimmick. Another highlight was the Junior-Senior Prom with the theme, A Dutch Garden. A hand painted picture of a Dutch scene covered the west wall of the gym, and the rest of the gym was decorated with a windmill and tulips. In our junior year we elected Hallie Bickle, President; Poke Wiseman, Vice President; Doug Plummer, Secretary and Betty Waterland, Treasurer. Our sponsor was Miss Casady. Another three months of much needed rest, after which we came back for our senior year. Our class officers for the year are Myra Corbitt, President; Doug Plummer, Vice-President; and Hallie Bickle, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Heitie is our sponsor. With the half-hearted permission of the Warden we were per- mitted to take off a few days for Sneak Day. With the accompaniment of Mr. Heftie, better known as the Warden (to herd us around and watch over us, not that we needed it) we took off for the Black Hills. The juniors showed their respect for us by giving the Prom in our honor. We finished our career in Baker High School with the usual spring activities which included, the music festival, play, Baccalaureate, concert, and finally commenc ement.
