Seniors leave the DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY to enter life In the tall of l953, we crossed the threshold as wide-eyed freshmen to ascend the stairs ot the old high school tor the last time, for in our sophomore year we entered the sparkling new building and shared with other stu- dents the joy ot learning in modern surr-oundings. Serving at the Iunior- Senior banquet and decorating tor graduation were new experiences this year. As We entered our junior year, we began to grasp the responsibili- ties ot an upperclassman. Presenting our first class play, STRICTLY FOR- MAL, and making the cafeteria look like Tara Gardens for our Prom were memorable highlights of this year. As seniors we began to plan seriously tor the future, but we still had time to present our successful play, ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN and spend endless hours on our yearbook. Now that our senior year is drawing to a close, we cling with nostalgia to the memories that will remain in -our lives forever. With the coming ot graduation, we grow increasingly aware that our high school education is, in all reality, the doorway of opportunity which leads to the pathway ot lite. Senior officers and sponsors consider program material for Commencement. Seated are Mr. White, sponsor, Kathryn Reno, treasurer: Dwight Smith, pres identy Leland Price, sponsor, and Mary Lou Jarvis, secretary. Don Hart, vice-president, and Mrs. Arm strong, Mrs. Clow, and Miss A'Hearn, sponsors, look on with approval.
