SENIIIH EMSS HISHHH It is often said: Great oaks from little acorns grow. Let this be said of the Senior Class of 1953 who steadily grew from often disregarded and overlooked freshmen to successful and gloriously recognized Seniors. The year 1949 found a new and varied group of freshmen joyfully nodding the hallways of Deer Park as we entered high school life fresh out of Junior High. Although we were over- shadowed at the time by the upperclassmen, it wasnit long be- fore we began moving into the spotlight. We had many athletes participating on the sports scene, especially the varsity football squad with seventeen freshmen gridiron lovers. Our young basketeers on the reserve team were Reid Piercey, Don Henderson, Harold Grassman. and Ken Anders. Although there were several outstanding sophomores on the re- serves, our class furnished the high scorer in the person of Ken Anders. These activities are but a few in our Freshman year. But this 0 I l: I l: l R s is just the beginning ...... . . . . The next thing we know we find ourselves playing the roles of Sophomores as we plan and work farther. We started the year off by initiating the new freshmen at the annual Freshman-Sophomore Reception. Carrying on with the duties of the Student Council were Ralph Cotnett and John Buhrlage who succeeded Bev Kammann and Howard Walker. Again we had many athletes. Sophomores playing on the first string football squad were Ken Anders. Harold Grassman. Tip Manley, and Milt Hebauf. Grassman had the honor of being placed on the All-Valley first team. On the varsity basketball squad we were represented by Don Henderson. The reserves had nine more Sophomore hoopsters developing into Varsity material. Adding color to the scene were our attractive majorettes: Dot Fenner. Janet Ange, Bev Kammann, and Nancy Hopkins. As time passed slowly on, we moved into the upper bracket of high school life; in other words, we became Juniors. We were right on the heels of those carefree Seniors and next year we would take their place at the top of the ladder. We started the year by electing these capable officers to lead us: Nelson Kiefer. President; Ernie Ball, Jean Hostetlet. and Harold Grassman. Representation of the Class of '53 in the National Honor Society was very good. Our contributions to the membership Were: Betty Lou Ridge. Joan White, Jean Hostetler, Shirley Sammis, Eloise Orlemann, and Marv Englert. The Hi-Y Club was again assembled at Deer Park this year after being in moth balls for several winters. One of the main events in our Junior Year was the selection of Class Rings. We finally decided on gold, initialed rings with beautiful white mother-of-pearl settings bordered by ruby stones on either side and centered with our school emblem which set off the beauty of the ting. Again we turned to the sports scene with some very talented squads. Varsity basketball found a spot on the first squad for the hustling play of Don Henderson. Larry Dallman, Ken Anders and Harold Grassman who nearly crowded the senior boys on the squad completely out of the picture. We finished our baseball season with much more than a satisfactory record. Juniors on this squad were: Don Cart, Bob Baas, Ralph Cornett. Rog Holloway, and Ed Hess. Sparking an inspired football squad to the first winning season Deer Park has had since about 1944, was the outstanding playing of Harold Gtassman. Tip Manley. Ken Anders, Larry Dallman, and Milt Hebauf along with several others from the Class of '53. That brings us up to the most important event of our Junior year. This, of courseI was the iong-aWaited Junior-Senior From in May. which was held in the beautiful surroundings of the Hotel Gibson's exquisite ballroom. Needless to say. no prom is complete without a queen to reign with her beauty...As the magic hour finally arrived everyone impatiently waited with anxiety to see who would be the lucky one crowned Queen. The mystery was soon revealed when Nelson Kiefer. our president, had the privilege and extreme pleasure of planting a victory kiss on Miss Janet Ange. Miss Ange's attractive attendants were Helen Hinkel. Pat Hardy, Dot Fenner, Alice Schwaighart. Marlene Nunn, and Nancy Hopkins. We carefully stored away our precious memories of the unforgettable night as time beckoned us on to the highlights of the future. That priceless day when we officially became full-fledged Seniors finally arrived for the Class of '53. Our goal was now less than a year away as we constantly kept striving toward it. teontinued on page 19
