Senior Play Class History It's almost over now--the whole thing, Only a few more days--possibly a banquet, sneak day or maybe a party of classmates, a test here and there, the donning of caps and gowns and the filing together into the auditorium. That will be all. When we come out again, we won't be -Seniors. Was it really four years ago that we first made our appearance at Crofton High School? Impossible! It was only yesterday--or was it a hundred years before that? We might have been here always, so familiar does it all seem. And yet how vivid are those first few weeks! How different it seemed then. Thirty-five of us began with Mr. Ubben leading the way, assisted by Sharon Swift, Wesley Zart, and Roberta Stallings. We managed to have class parties during our Freshman year, and how the Seniors, those self-assured people, initiated us into the Student Body. Twenty-eight of us took our place as Sophomores, Mr. Bruce our Sponsor, and Roberta, Wesley, and jimmy led us through this year. Two parties were held during the year. Hal- loween was the occasion for the first. We finally gained recognition as high school students when eight members were chosen to wait tables at the junior-Senior Banquet. Our second party this year was a hayride-picnic. We left our Sophomore year a little better prepared for the last and most important half of our high school career. To the roll we added three new members. Mr. and Mrs. Hermsen were to help during the busy year. To assist them, Sharon took her place at the head 6f the class, with Wesley and Marjorie following. Our first party was a hayride-picnic, and on November Z0 we presented a play entitled Half Past Teen, a comedy in three acts. A Valentine Buffet Supper was our second party for this year. In honor of-the Seniors we held the junior-Senior Banquet to the setting of Old Mexico. Student Government Day saw most of us at Center, studying the processes of County Government. We began our Senior Year with twenty-four students. Mr. Cacek led us through this final year at C. H. S. Roger was elected leader of the flock, Wes held his habitual Vice- Presidency, while Rosemary gave her assistance as Secretary-Treasurer. December 2.0, 1952 we held a Christmas Party that was quite a success. The annual, our rings, announce- ments, credits, play, banquet---all memories now, But time, with the aid of a few patient and long suffering teachers, did its work and those frightened, blundering, noisy Freshmen, now clad in maroon robes and quiet dignity, are about to take their places together for the last time and we are getting a trifle emotional about it. Why were we here? Have we really accomplished anything? Very little, probably. It all lies before us. But what is it? Where are we going? Will we see each other again? Perhaps we haven't changed so since initiation. We know as little about the way in which to act in this new place as we did then. We were frightened then but our hopes ran high. We are frightened now, may our hopes still run high. These years have held their heart- aches, yet how happy they have been. May those years ahead be much the same! Half-dead memorqies--new emotions--a smile--perhaps a tear--and then farewel1..... Senior Class Will TO WHUM IT MAY CONCERN We, the members of the Senior Class, being of sound mind and body, do bequeath this will to those members of C. H. S. who remain behind us. PR OVISIONS Feeling very affectionate toward the Junior Class, it is our desire to leave said class all our mental capacity so that they mayghave no difficulty in measuring up' mentally to the high requirements set for Senior Classes.

Dennis Engstedt and Delores Harrom were picked for their highqideals and fair play. The purpose of the Babe Ruth awards is to disseminate information on and to enlist enthusiasm for good sportsmanship and for play. The spirit of fair play and co-operative effort in school and community re- lations is one of the principal basis for selection. Sportsmanship in , activities in the schoolroom, on the athletic field and playground, in the school community, and home and church environment are gravely con- sidered. The awards are not given solely for competitive excellence, popularity, winning the most letters, holding the most offices and the like---although some weight is given to these factors. A very broad interpretation of fair play and sportsmanship is adopted. .

The entire Warrior football squad attended the affair as guests of the Board of Education. Warrior Basketball Team Thirty-five eager competitors answered Coach O1eson's call for the 1952-1953 team. The season produced three vic- tories and eleven defeats. Two of these wins were in Corn- tassel Conference play. Osmond, Newcastle and Lynch were the Crofton victims. Tournament play was not too success- ful for the Warriors either for they were eliminated in the first rounds of play in both the County and the District meets. Prospects for the coming year are very bright. 1953-53 SCHEDULE.
