Destination High School Diploma With great anticipation the class of ’53 began its long, adventurous journey through high school land. Our president, Charles Lehman; vice-president, Chester Smith; secretary, Patsy Rumple; and treasurer, Erma Habegger, planned the first part of our trip to that far-off destination, High School Diploma. We started at Freshmanburg, where we made our presence known. During our stay, many joined the Latin Club and underwent initiation. For entertainment we went skating at Sunset Roller Rink. This marked a milestone in our social lives. After a long but enjoyable stay, we traveled on to Sophomoreville, where we refueled with world history and plane geometry. We also chose our class rings here. Our capable officers during our sojourn were Max Lehman, president; Arlene Sprung-er, vice-president; Jerry Sprunger, secretary; Keith Reinhard, treasurer. We boarded a plane and continued following our itinerary until we came to the scenic village called Junior Junction. While residing here we elected the following town board: Chester Smith, president; Danny Liechty, vice-president; Marjorie Sprunger, secretary; Bill Brace, treasurer. Honor was brought to our class when we presented the play, “Our Miss Brooks.” We joined the residents of Senior City for a skating party at Roller Dome. We also entertained them with a reception, at which they invited us to inhabit their city. Senior City became a busy study and social center when our class moved in. We elected a city council composed of Keith Reinhard, president; Jerry Sprunger, vice-president; Gloria Reinhard, secretary; and Max Lehman, treasurer. The surrounding communities in high school land joined us in a Hallowe’en party and in presenting the operetta, “Carmelita.” We also enjoyed a skating party with our junior friends. We visited Faculty Town for a party, which was high-lighted by our own “Spike Jones and his Senior City Slickers.” Our next community project was the play, “A Case of Springtime.” At a town meeting we chose green and gold as our class colors and the white carnation as our flower. We decided upon the motto, “Don’t try dying; die trying.” For a vacation our class went to Chicago, where we did all but relax for two days. We returned no more to Senior City but went straight to High School Diploma. The departure is sad, but we realize new adventures are awaiting us on the journey of life. Twelve
