Troupers Pat Larson. Secretaryg Peter Samuels, President: Charles Hogan, Vice President. This is it! Yes, we the class of 1953 are ready to leave the halls of Memorial High School. It will not be long before commencement will be rolling by. But even though com- mencement will come and go, our memories of the past three years will not fade away. Remember, in our Sophomore year, we were promised to be the first Sophomore class to move into the new high school. By the end of March the promise was fulfilled. The building seemed so big that we thought we would never be able to find our way around. Our class officers, President, Frank Wong, Vice President, Larry Williams, and Secretary, Pat Maryott, did a wonderful job. The biggest thrill of our junior year was selecting our class rings. Some of our lucky juniors were able to go on the spring trip to Washington, D. C. during Easter vacation. Jerry Werle and Pat Archambault ruled as Junior king and queen at the junior-Senior prom. We elected Frank Wong, Pete Samuels, and Pat Larson as President, Vice Presi- dent, and Secretary of our Junior class. Then came our Senior-year-the best! We were Big Eight champions in football when we beat Kenosha with a score of 13 to 6. Reigning over the homecoming game was queen Marilyn Miller and her court. Another big thrill in sports was our basketball team's trip to Madison for the State Tournament. Nice work boys! During the month of November, we had a mock election which was a big success. The choir, art, and dramatic classes com- bined to produce the first operetta to appear in Beloit for 20 years, The Mikado. Every- one did a swell job and we were very proud of them. Two plays highlighted our Senior year, Father of the Bride, and our Senior class play, Arsenic and Old Lace. Senior king and queen at the Junior-Senior prom were Jerry Werle and Pat Archambault. In the Senior court were Pat Larson, Chuck Hogan, Tom Pratt, and Barbara Lange. Co- editors of the Beloiter were Pat Larson and Wes Nelson. Jean Johnson and Bettina Myers headed the Increscent. Our student council officers were Frank Wong, Jerry Werle, Fern Green, and Marilyn Miller. The Senior Class Officers were: Pete Samuels, Presidentg Chuck Hogan, Vice President, and Pat Larson, Secretary. These three years of our lives will never be forgotten and we only hope that the rest of our lives will be just as wonderful as these, our high school years. PAGE 11
