Scnio History With great plans for the future, the class of '53 entered Dayton High School, under the guidance of Mr. Jenkins. To welcome the new year in, the class gave an all-high dance at the Recreation Hall. It was decorated with bright crepe paper and balloons. The new year was given a howling welcome at midnight. The outstanding frosh boys in football were Floyd Bender and Melvin Roy who won their letters. Five boys turned out for basketball. Boxing brought out seven boys, with Melvin Roy leading an undefeated season. The girls held their own in sports with quite a few girls turning out for each sport. In our sophomore year we were under the direction of Mr. Metzger. Again this year boys answered the call for every sport. During the football season, the whole class pitched in and sold hot coffee at all the home games. The coffee was donated by the downtown stores. To wind up the busy year, an all-high dance was given in the gym March 9th. As juniors, now upperclassmen, we were advised again by Mr. Metzger. This also was a busy year for the class. In the fall we sold hot coffee from our new coffee-maker, and doughnuts to the football spectators. On December 1, we as a class, held the ever popular Junior Prom. With Bali Hai as our theme, we decorated accordingly designating our Hawaiian theme. Having many talented members in the class, we were well represented in sports, chorus, band, clubs, and yell leaders. Cheaper by the Dozen, the class play, when presented to the general public was unanimously accepted. Under the wise coaching of Mrs. Greenman, the cast consisted of very enthusiastic members. With Mr. Lindaas seeing us through our senior year as advisor, we started out by ordering our announcements and having our graduation pictures taken. Miller Studio in Walla Walla took our pictures. November 26, we presented Annie Get Your Gun, as our senior play. Under the able direction of Mrs. Greenman, it was unanimously declared a success. As spring came we began thinking about the ever traditional senior-sneak--with the class deciding upon Coeur 'd Alene, Idaho, as our destination. On May 28, we graduated with the traditional strains of Pomp and Circumstancen in the background. Although we have looked forward to the day when we would graduate, we now have a different feeling about leaving high school and our friends and entering into a more difficult phase of life.
