INTRODUCTION In this permanent record of the 1953-1954 school year, it is the aim of the Torch Staff to give you in both pictures and words the story of this past school year. We sincerely hope that the viewers of this yearbook will enjoy its contents and that this annual will bring back memories of the '53-'54 school days. The seniors have worked hard to raise the money for this annual in a great many ways. Without the combined effort of the class of 1954, the publication of this yearbook would not have been possible. We sincerely thank all those who helped in any way to make this yearbook possible. We hope you will enjoy it. Co-editors: Virginia Barks Don Dalton 3

ROW 2:B66I1'1el', Melvin, Cross, Tumer, Jones, Spencer, Reed, Blake. ROW I: Barks, Dalton, Akers, Walker, ABOUT TH E AUTHORS The staff for the 1954 Torch was elected by the senior class early in the fall of the 1953-1954 school year: Co-editors, Virginia Barks and Don Dalton, Business Managers: Norman Akers and Dean Walker, Assembly Editors: Agatha Reed and Don Turner, Art Editors: Mary Blake and Mildred Melvin, Activity Editor: Judy Cross, Typists: Judy Beemer and Doris Spencer, and Co-ordinator: Richard Jones. In the 1954 Torch it was the staff's aim to produce the best book our class funds would allow. The funds to finance this yearbook were raised by the senior class play, the scrap drive, dances after the ball games, concessions at county and sectional tournaments, the bake sale and several others. The staff is grateful for the guidance of Mr. J. S. Taylor, which made possible the publishing of this year book. 4
