At the first of the school year the boys elected Chuck Grace as their president. He was ably assisted by Bill Foust, vice-presidentg Gene Miller, secretary, John Klingerman, treasurer, and Don Holt, sergeant-at-arms. The fellows also chose twelve boys to repre- sent them on the Board of Directors. The mighty Seniors chose as their representatives to the Board, Cliff Clester, Roger Beane and Guy Tillet. Bill Grant, john Hudson and Bill Taylor were the Juniors elected. The Under-Classmen chose Don Babb, Glen Lee, and Paul Rootg Phil Darst, Paul Bingaman, and Bill Rouse,as the Sophomore and Freshman representatives, respectively. The Boys' Legion continued the custom es- tablished the preceding year of sponsoring a Dads' Day football banquet. During the game the fathers wore their sons' numerals and were seated on a bench directly behind the players. After the game a banquet was held in their honor. The Hullabaloo, our annual variety show, was a grand success. VVith its own crooner and its many clever acts, the Hullabaloo provided fine entertainment for all. Our thanks to Ed Hollan- der and his very efhcient committees for a splen- did production. The Boys, Legion also financed the installa- tion of the new stage lights. With the proceeds from the Hullabaloo, the Boys' Legion, with Jack Adams and his very capable committees, sponsored the Stardust Ball. Dancing to heavenly music, everyone who attend- ed will agree that the ,Stardust Ball of 1953 was certainly the best ever. This concluded the year's activities, and as we look back on them we realize this has been a most successful year in the Boys' Legion history. Page 27
