SE Illll III. SS HISTUHY The seniors of 53 came back to school last fall well aware of the fact that it was their last, never-to-be-forgotten year at Elida High. Many important decisions were made in room 307. Among them was the election of class officers-Rex Slechter, president: Stanley Crider, vice-president: Phyllis Steiner, secretary- treasurery and Warren Smith, Iohn Ruby, and Bill Hatton, executive committee. Raising enough money to finance a trip to New York in the spring became the foremost concern of the seniors. Selling Reader's Digest subscriptions, greeting cards, and basketball programs, holding cake raffles, collecting scrap and paper, sponsoring the Super-Sonic Min- strel, and presenting the play Our Hearts Were Young and Gay all came under the head- ing of Money Making Propositions. The fellows of the class were active in athletics, especially in football. Crena Riley and Ioan Meier were varsity cheerleaders. Several members of the class participated in the various musical organizations - band, chorus, and glee clubs. They performed in the minstrel, District Auditions, the Eisteddfod, and other concerts. Io Ann Lyle and Reed Kline were the Carnival King and Queen: Phyllis Steiner and Barbara Sanner represented the class during Homecoming. Four members took the Ohio State Scholarship test- Ianice Miller. Velma Taylor, Iohn Ruby, and Phyllis Steiner. These four, together with Warren Smith, Robert Ruff, and Barbara Sanner comprised the seniors' representation in the county Honor Society. We regret that Iames Glass, one of our class members since the first grade, was not able to be with us this year because of illness. We missed you, Iim. Best of luck to you in the future. Our class motto Out of School's Life, into Life's School voices the meaning of Com- mencement Day. We hope that life's school will be as rewarding and enjoyable as our school life. SENIIIH CLASS UPI-'IEEH5 Rex Slechter, President Phyllis Steiner, Secretary-Treasurer Stanley Crider, Vice-President 12
