In Memoriam GLEN SLUSSER Four years ago one of our classmates-GLEN SLUSSER-was killed in an auto- mobile accident. It happened during the summer vacation, and although we were youngsters and had only recently been promoted to eighth grade-his death made a profound impression upon us. Glen was a promising boy. He was lively and possessed a pleasant personality. Already he had joined the band. In many ways he had made his presence felt in our group. We, the class of 1953, feel that this page should be in memoriam to this boy and his accomplishments that would have been achieved. Glen Slusser lives in the memory of each member of the class who knew him. We pause sadly to reflect and to keep that remembrance alive. 10

Sometimes the visitation requires a lot of advance planning on the part ol' the person or firm visited. We appreciate the kindness of these patrons of the school. It is impossihle to have pictures of all field trips made during this year, how- cver, we have chosen three expeditions. Other valuahle trips which students have en- joyed are: a visit to the Bloomshurg Public Library, a hike to the Fire Tower in con- nection with conservation, a guided shopping tour, an inspection of our county jail, an explanation of a hanking institution, watching the election hoard in operation, and tours through various industries. During the years many valuable hits of information will flood memories of stu- dents whim have participated in such field trips to see workers in our democracy.
