History Now as that memorable day in June is fast approach- ing and our happy days at good old Columbia High are hurrying by, let us look back on the happenings of the past few years and try to recall some of the exciting events to our memory. As freshmen, remember the hilarious Dramatic Club play, Turn Back the Clockn, Saturday afternoons spent bowling at Menchey's Qwhere fun was had by everyonej, the fighting football squad's 6-4 record, the Christmas Cantata followed by our long awaited Christmas vaca- tion, intramural sports, the Glee Club's trip to Hershey to see the Ice Follies, electing our first class officers: James Riccio, president, Ralph Kreiser, vice-president, Carole Betrone, secretary-treasurer, and then at last our own prom, the Freshman-Sophomore Party, where we had to put up with the sophomores for one evening, Stu- dent Council's first festival, which was a wonderful suc- cess, and our trip to Hershey which ended the school year? Now we are looking forward to the day when we would be called sophomores. Now we were no longer considered underclassmen for we were sophomores. Memories of this year include the first outside pep rally Cat Janson'sJ, the delightful play, A Change of Heart , the excitement of picking our class rings, pennants, hats and emblems, the many victory parades after the football games, the football squad's 7-3 record, our class officers: James Eckert, president, Carole Betrone, vice-president, Fay Coller, secretary, Arthur Ford, treasurer, the basketball squad's excellent 13-3 record, the Varieties of 1953 , and finally the Freshman-Sophomore Party. Now our high school career was half over. Juniors, that title really made us feel big. Just think, only one year between us and the seniors. Some of the memorable events that happened this year were wear- ing our sharp looking class rings, the unpredictable events that took place in driver training, Y-Teen initi- ation Cwhere the girls with their fifteen pigtails tied with string really improved the scenery for a dayj, winning our first Conference of the Roses Football Championship with an 8-1 record, the laughter echoing through the halls the nights of the play, Cheaper by the Dozen , Y-Teen Recognition Service, distributing Christmas bas- kets to the needy families, our officers: Ralph Kreiser, president, Charles Reinhart, vice-president, Eleanora Baker, secretary, Sandra Gable, treasurer, winning the Lancaster County Basketball Championship with a 19-1 record, professional assemblies, Varsity C Club initi- ations, the Y-Teen formal CThe Cindrella Ballj, fun nights, the undefeated track team, our Junior-Senior Prom CApril in Parisi, where we danced to the music of Len Matroni. Last -of all-finals. Now another year has slipped through our Fingers and we are anxiously await- ing the new term when at last we will be-seniors. Now we were seniors! The teachers still thought we acted more like eighth graders. Some of the happy ex- periences of this year were choosing name cards and an- nouncements, the enjoyable play, Andy Hardy, with Frank Manley's witty jokes, having our attempts at poetry writing published in the Crimson and Gold, the rush trying to get our pictures taken, the commotion outside rooms 2, 4 and 5, taking Purdue and Juniata achievement tests, writing themes and making projects that we thought would never get Finished, initiating the Junior Y-Teens, having the front seats in assemblies, defeating Lancaster Catholic in football, winning the Conference of Roses Championship for the second straight year with a 9-1 football record, Carole Betronels winning the D.
