Lots of big events occurred in our Senior year as expected. :. .We were given the thrill of being the very first class to graduate from the spacious. beautiful site of the magnificent new building. just being completed at the time we entered. Class officers were elected for the last time in our high school careers. Nelson Kiefer again got the nod for president as he led the Class of '53 for the second year. The other officers selected were Bob Baas, Joan White, and Hal Mills. We were well spoken for in every phase of the schools activities and organizations. Seniors who held highest offices in each specific club were: Joan White, president of Alpha Y-Teens; Joyce Haines, president of the G.A. A.; Dramatics Club president, Jim Davis;Ra1ph Cornett, Hi-Y president; and Bob Baas. Orchestra president. Our yearbook staff was largely composed of Seniors. Joan White, well- chosen editor, was ably assisted by Howard Walker, assistant editor. On Student Council our representatives were veteran Ralph Cornett and Larry Dallman. The spectacular Fathers of '53 proved to be one of the best variety shows of its kind ever produced at this school; thanks to the hard work and fine blending voices of the Chorus, well led by Seniors. HOWeVer, we cannot rightfully end this paragraph without the mention of our great high school orchestra. Our sparkling new basketball court along with the enthused cheering of fellow classmates led by our two cute cheerleaders, Helen Hinkel and Betty Lou Ridge, inspired our varsity squad of all Seniors to a season's record which placed them close to the top of the valley standings. The five sparhplugs ofthe team were Larry Dallman, Ken Anders, Don Henderson, Reid Piercey, andTip Manley. The gridirons were red -hot when our fighting Wildcats tore the Valley League wide open and flatly refused to take another defeat after they dropped a tough ghrne early in the season. Playing their hearts out for their great rookie coach, Ralph Staubb. the varsity squad finally climbed into first place to stay. We finished the glorious season with a typical story-book ending as we clinched the MVIL Championship the hard way and then went on the massacre Milford 67-0, the highest score in the history of our school. To add more color to the subject of our story-book season. We Were undefeated on our new football field which was completedjust this year giving our football squad its first home in several seasons. The many Seniors on the Championship team had the honor of winning the MVIL crown in the last year of their high school careers. The proud Seniors who played a large part in the success of the team were Tip Manley, Milt Hebauf, Harold Grassman, Larry Dall- man, Ken Anders, Ernie Ball. Marv Ehglert. Hal Mills. John Buhrlage, Doug Planitz, Gerry Schraffenberget, Rog Holloway, Paul Finkle. and Wayne Cunningham. Milt Hebauf was picked on the All-City Squad along with our co-captains Harold Grassman and Ken Anders. As we skip over a few months we find ourselves inthe middle of April, with all of her spring showers. . . . . . . . ..rain, rain, and more RAIN. Whenyouthink of rain. past and present Seniors. what else do you have in mind?. . . .Aha. naturally you think of your trip to Washington. Every year it's the same thing. . .. RALN. But this year it Was different in one respect. The difference is plainly that the Class of '53 saved their money and went to New York, too. We had a top-drawet time seeing all the historical places and famous buildings that make this country of ours what it is. We saw what other Senior Classes didn't see: The Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building. Harlem. Manhatten, Tin Pan Alley, Macy's and finally the paradise of the United States, America's own pride and joy ---Brooklyn.

nr 1'11 SENIHR ClASS HISIBRY The Class of '53 Was a little restless as they watched the days crawl by ever so slowly. The carefree Seniorclasswasawaiting a big event. And then the day arrived. The school was practically in chaos for it was Senior Day. What a riotl But things settled down again and our emotions started to change con- siderably. The seniors were getting tense. Again we were counting the days. Commencement Day finally appeared on the calendar. . . This was the greatest day of out liVES. . . As we tightly held out diplomas in our perspiring hands our eyes observed a new outlook on life. Our memoriesofhighschoolfun and frolic flashed back in our minds. Mortals cannot invent words that could express our feelings on the wonderful day. Werealized that now we Were on our very own, just startihg out on life's strange journey. Some of us were broken up a little deep down inside. We had climbed the long flight of stairs and were facing the door of opportunity which slowly opened before us. We glanced back ovet out shoulders for that one last look at our happy past. We could see in the foggy atmosphere far behind us a new group of fellow Americans struggling to reach the same goal we had just achieved, climbing the stairs we had just climbed. We smiled slightly and brushed away a tear as we turned away once more and looked ahead to our unknown future. Aswe humbly stood on the threshold of opportunity our eyes wandered into the misty haze before us, for somewhere in the distance beyond that thick mysterious haze stood the golden door of success. Many before have failed in their lon search to reach that same door. The Class of '53 cautiously took their first steg into the fog each choostng his own way to travel. Only the future will tell which ones find that ma 1c oor. gNow the Class of '53 is gone forever from the student-filled corridors of Deer Park High. . .Only the Echoing memories are left behind. The halls of Deer Park will always be filled with young Americans. Others may try to follow our footsteps, but only in vain. Somewhere they'll lose the way. NEVER. . .will there be another class anywhere that will compare with the Class of 1953. lASI WlllANB IESIAMENI We, the Seniors of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty Three, being of intellectual mind and sound body, do make and sealthis declaration for the disposal of our property.
