The Class of '53 Has A Past As Well As A Future During our last year in junior high school the class of '53 began to make history. Ten new students joined our class of forty. That year we produced our first successful play, 6'Be My Walentinef' Leaving the ninth grade, we started to explore the new and adventurous world of senior high school. The biggest event of the sophomore year was the Christmas dance which we sponsored. Also during this year we added something new-the Hobo Hop. Our sophomore year passed quickly, and before we knew it we were important juniors. On the second day of our junior year we ordered our class rings. After waiting so patiently for their arrival, many of our class- mates promptly gave them to someone else to wear. The next exciting event was our second drama entitled Junior Miss,', directed by Miss Bickert. It was a colossal success. Our next project was the Junior-Senior Prom. We selected In the Good Old Summertime for our theme and then went to work to put on the best prom ever given at C. H. S. At last we reached the top. Our senior class population dropped to thirty-seven members, but what was left was really the cream of the crop. The second day of this great year we ordered our invitations and name cards. In the next few weeks of school we tramped the streets of the nearby towns for ads for our year-book, took pictures, and worked like mad to beat the deadline. After many weeks of practice and fun, we presented our senior play, What Anne Brought Homef' under the direction of Mrs. Bergstresser. The dramatic ability of our well-known class was at its peak, and the audience went away wondering how a high school class could produce such a masterpiece. Before we knew it we were guests of the juniors at their Protrn. Then it was time for Class Night and Baccalaureate. At last came one of the greatest moments of our lives-Commencement-when our thirty-seven members united to bid adieu to our good old C. H. S. Having achieved our school ambitions, the carefree members of the class of 1953 go out into the world to make still greater names for themselves. 30
