SENIOR? X . . .And the immigrants turned their faces to the wind to gaze upward with anxiety and trust upon the giant lady. Like this statue of liberty, a symbol of the independence, intelligence, and democracy of this country, so the Seniors have tried to be. As a class we've tried to lead the underclassmen, to inspire them to greater deeds. And we feel that we ourselves have gained some portion of knowledge and wisdom here at Clarence in order that we may set an example worthy of her standards.

ffm A ff arg CYHE class of '53 was born in September T947 on the second floor of the Parker Building. At that time Harris Hill and Clarence were joined together in the seventh grade. In the homerooms of our advisors, Miss Schworm and Mrs. Esten, we assembled for our first class activities. Our officers were: President-Nancy Matti- sonp Vice President-Jean Choate, Secretary-Allen Billheimer, and Treasurer-Elwyn Cummings. Next year Clarence Center came to complete our class. Mr. Glovock, Miss Schworm, and Miss Watson were our homeroom advisors. Our main activities this year were selling pencils, and putting money into Mr. Glovack's and Miss Watson's gum funds.

As freshmen under the guidance of Miss Cox, Miss Ulrich, and Mr. Prochilo we were allowed to sponsor dances lamong them our fabulous Frosh Frolicl and we launched the first of a long line of big money-making ventures. Our officers were: President-Jim Meister, Vice President-Richard Muchow, and Secretary-Treasurer-Joyce Muggleberg. We were sophomores next and we kept the money rolling into the treasury by selling red and black pennants and basketball emblems and hotdogs at football games. We sponsored a square dance, skating part , football dance, and, last but not least, the annual Sophomore Hop. This year Allen Billheimer brought honor to his school and class by winning the Erie County Basketball Shooting Contest. With the assistance of Mr. Repp, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Wyroba, and under the leadership of our officers, President-George Honsbergerp Vice President-Ken Bugenhageng Secretary-Nancy Anderson, and Treasurer-Allen Billheimer, we established a rec- ord never equolled or surpassed. By now the class had begun to approach maturity and as Juniors we were ready to tackle anything, well almost anything. We presented the Junior Play, a comedy entitled You Can't Take lt With You under the capable direction of Mr. Prochilo. We sponsored dances, a skating party, taffy sales, paper drives, the sale of school I3
