In 1949jthe class of 1954 came to Caroline High School afraid of what the future held for us. We were timid and awkward, and we had a great deal to learn about high school life. We were 8th graders, and we lived with our own small groups. By 1950 we made many, many friends and became more accustomed to the routine of a day’s schedule. We were in high school, and we were proud to be a part of Caroline. Our freshmen athletes made us feel especially proud when they represented us on the varsity teams. At the close of 1951 we entered the sophomore class. By this time we had become acquaint- ed with practically every person at Caroline High except for the 8th graders. We didn’t take this year too seriously, for we thought that there was plenty of time left to settle down to real study. When 1952 rolled around we really were getting to be popular in sports and academics. We especially enjoyed giving the annual senior prom to our wonderful friends, the class of 1953. In doing this we found the spirit of working together a great asset. And finally September 1953 started us on the road to becoming seniors. We didn’t feel like seniors at first but as the days passed and our rings, cards, and senior play books arrived we felt decidedly more grown up than on that first day when we walked through the doors of C.H.S . Our senior debating team, our trip to Washington, and our senior play, “Father of the Bride’’, will be held deep in our hearts long after 1954.
