CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1941, we the class of 1953, made our first appearance in school. We were sixty- five youngsters, all rather shy and awed by the bigness of the world away from our homes, par- ticulary the long halls, the auditorium and-everything! Mrs. Louisa Boyd and Mrs. Cleo Rogers were our teachers. After our first excitement, we began to get into the swing of school life, and then the years rapidly elapsed. Slowly trugging and toiling along we finally graduated into high school- Our excitement of being in high school soon subsided and we began to get into the swing of high school life under the watchful eye of Mrs. Chase. Before we knew it, the year was completed and we were sophomores with a little more confi¬ dence. Frank Medford was chosen president of our class and Mrs. Kirkpatrick was our sponsor. In the fall of 1951, we returned as Juniors. We realized we had-a great responsiblity to shoul¬ der. The class play had to be given, the class rings had to be ordered, and the all-important Junior-Senior Banquet at which we were to be hosts must be undertaken! Mrs. Kirkpatrick was our sponsor and Floyd Plemmons was elected president. Most of our time for a period of a few weeks was taken up with our class play, The Antics of Andrew. Our Junior-Senior Banquet washeldon May 1, 1952, with the theme, Lavenderand Old Lace. Everything was grand will long be remembered by all who attended it. Returning for our final year in September, 1952, under the guiding hand of Mrs. O.L. Yates, our senior sponsor, we were fully aware of the tasks ahead. McClain Was elected president of the class, and we dignified (?) Seniors became fully aware of our duties. Our chief accomplishments were the class play, publishing of the High-Life and The Highland er , and preparing for graduation. The Junior-Senior Banquet will long be remembered. It was wonderful to be honored in this way. Dean and Jean Best, twins of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Best were elected as our Mascots. Graduation day came before we realized it-and the diploma! Thus ends the first milestones in our lives. CLASS HISTORIANS Emelyn McCracken Mattie Sue Medford
