Senior Cloiss This last year for the Class of '54 came to a close all too soon and many found it hard to believe their high school career was over. But there will be many things to remember in all phases of their school work-athletics, music, speech, etc. This year, the Seniors presented a skit in the Variety Show which was enjoyed by all. One of the highlights of the year was the Senior Class Play, Once ln Every Family. This was a gay comedy which turned out to be a great success. Everyone worked extremely hard to make it so, however, most of the credit goes to Miss Murray, the director. As a reward for all of the hard work, the Seniors took a three day trip to Chicago. This is the longest that any class has been gone in the history of the school. They went up on the train and stayed at the Pal- mer House, one of the finer hotels. Many sights were beheld by the Seniors while in Chicago. The finish of the year was climaxed with the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. The class officers for the year were as follows: President, Marilyn Brown, Vice-President, Larry Duck- worth, Secretary, Jackie Clark, Treasurer, Ann Brooks, Sergeant-at-arms, Dale Rennels. years to come-memories which have been made Warren Leslie lowry Budget Committee 2, Drivers' Training 2, Eagle l, 2, 3, Editor 4, Junior Academy of Science l, 2, 3, 4, Quill 81 Scroll 3, 4, Salutator- ian 4, Science Club l, 2, 3, 4, Sci- ence Contests 'l, 2, Speech 4, Speech Contests 4, Variety Show 1, 2, 3, 4, Concessions Manager 3, Senior Class Play Business Mana- ger 4.
