Senior Class ol i953 Seniors Conclucleol -lhei Commencement was the end of an important phase of life for the Senior Class, but it was also the beginning of a new chapter full of the respon- sibilities of an adult world. Bob Balsley led the group of greenies as they thrilled to the display of the basketball team in the state finals. A newly formed Pep Club found many eager freshmen as members. Bob continued his reign as president through the sophomore year, but was replaced by Ed Smith as they be- came upperclassmen. A new electric organ was installed in the auditorium that year and all en- joyed its music. At last they were those almighty Seniors they had always looked up to as fresh- men. Jim Stevens was given the hard task of leading the class through their last and most wonderful year of high school experiences. Paul Knight was elected vice-president and Mignon Bolser, secretary-treasurer. George Shaf- fer and Pat Sanks, eo-social chairmen, planned the social events which included the Junior-Senior prom.
