CLASS MOTTO 4 1 . We, the Senior Class of 1953, have chosen as our motto, 'Forward Every Backward Never'. We have looked forward with anxiety for twelve years to this moment when we shall take the great step out into this big, wide world alone. nFor- ward Everg Backward Never' is an undying symbol of what we must achieve. It has in the past and shall in the future guide us on to bigger and better goals. It has urged us on, aspa class, when we have become discouraged. Now that our high schoolmdays are near an end and we go our separate ways, it wgll help us as individuals. lQ1Ithough the way has not always been easy, through faith ful work 'y..s and patient perserverance we have at last achieved the'gQl1jforWwhich,we have so long been striving. Now that we have reached this goal we must set our aims higher. We must not look back at our mistakes-but forward to our accomplishments.'h j We are on the threshold of another and a greater ex- istence. 'He are placing our aim high, remembering that success is the birthright of every human soul. we have passed one of the stepping stones on the road of life. Although we are saddened to leave our high school days behind and step out into a world of responsibilities, we also feel excitment at the prospect of beginning a new life. We hope that it will be a prosperous and happy one. However, we realize that we get out of life only what we put into it. Thus in the-new phase of life, just as be- fore, we will have to work hard and faithfully. ,The world holds many opportunities for us, if we only take advantage of them. Many of us will enter into broad- er fields of knowledge. No matter what course we take in the next step forward, each member of the class of '53 is grateful that he put forth the effort to achieve his goal- graduation hour. We realize that this effort has not been in vain, and we are now ready to exert our fullest energy toward another goal. We are ready and willing to press onward and upward. Deep down in our hearts lies the ambition to become great. his cannot be accomplished by our own selfishness and greed in the past. To obtain our goal we must always go 'Forward Every Backward Nevern. Doris Jean Miller and Doris Bea Ferguson
