Jim. fn Jmewvtd The purpose of the I953 edition of the Char- conge is to record the deeds of the boys and girls, who, for the past four years, embodied the spirit of Chartiers High School. In the years to come this yearbook will keep alive the memories gathered during their undergraduate days. The future years will bring new faces and changes to the school scene, but there shall be this record of the friends they knew, the things they did, and the memories that will still be dear to them. Stop! Yes, I said stop-e-e-e-e. Before you turn another page Qto look at the picturesl how about reading what I have to say. After all, I spent two and a half minutes writing these com- ments, so don't let my time spent be fruitless. And besides, we had to have something to take up the space on this page. Since way back in May 1952, when I was chosen to be editor-in-chief, I had been a busy little bug. I had been seriously thinking of themes, colors, and new ideas to make the 1953 Charconge outstanding and different. During the summer, I spent quite a bit of my time Cwhen I wasn't at band practicej pestering Mrs. Cen- nocro, who lived next door until she got married, for theme selections. In the back of my wee tiny headv I had three theme possibilities. We discussed these pro and con throughout the summer. Then when school opened in September, we asked the opinion of several staff members, and finally arrived at the Cay Nineties Revuef, the colorful, cheerful, and amusing theme you see initiated on the cover and title pages. Choosing this theme gave our artists an opportunity to display their talents, which you will see as you progress through the book. The art work, done by MurMur Anderson and Ioe Mauro, is in my estimation tops.', On page I you see Elmer and on page 2 you see Daisy. These two characters from the gay nineties era are starting Con their bicycle built for twoj a guided, all expense free, trip through Charcongeville,' to view a modern high school in operation and to see how education has pro- gressed in over half a century. Aside from the theme, many of the new fea- tures of this yearis Charconge that I think you will enjoy are: the eye catching cover Cin the Senior Class colorsj, the comparison introduction pages, the novel contents page, the informal pictures of the teachers flirst time usedl, the clever senior arrangements and background, the conversational write-ups between Elmer and Daisy, and the newly arranged activities and sports pages. fHere let me get in another plug for that art work.j I hope that at the present and in future years the 1953 Charconge will be read and enjoyed, as I, and the members of the staff, have enjoyed working together to make the yearbook a great success. Happy reading, CNOW you can continuej Lou Marra Editor
