SENIQR CLASS I-IISTCJRY History of the Class of 1953 With great pride I shall narrate the history of the class of ninteen hundred and fifty three. In the beginning eighteen eager to learn youngsters entered the door of higher learning. They were at first wary, but the kind voices of the teachers lured them on. In this first year this class with much enthusiasm entered the field of athletics, making the team all the more forceful. Their second year proved more successful, for they had been introduced to such formidable subjects as math, history, English, and biology. School now had more appeal to them. As sophomores they presented a comedy entitled junior'S Mous- tache. At the conclusion of this year they were raised to the rank of juniors. For this promotion they were most grateful. As juniors they helped the seniors present a wonderful play, Brother Goose. At the graduation exercises they presented the Seniors with the traditional daisy chain. Graduation exercises over, the combined grades made a pleasant trip to another state, Florida. Entering the classroom as seniors they received an emblem for their efforts - a class ring. This year brought, around the joyful task of selecting an annual staff, announcements, and caps and gowns. As another class has reached its goal, graduation, I close this history with these thoughts: Learn to laugh, It is better than medicine. Learn to attend to your own business, Few men can handle their own. Learn to say kind words, Nobody ever resents them. Learn to stop grumbling, If you can't see any good in the world keep the bad to yourself. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself g Nobody wants them. Carolyn Cook Historian .. .
