MEMORIES OF THE SCHOOL YEAR Another year will soon be over for Harding High students. For some, it has been the most important year in their school career because it is the last one. Forfothers, it has just been a step in the long progress of educa- tion. Ever since September 7, 19545, when 305 alert youngsters ran into Harding High, until June 6, 1955 When these 305 bade farewell to the sen- iors, the school has been busy shaping them into students. However, it is the students who have made our school what it is. From the view-point of a student, the year has been busy. The Allens and Jack Rank,s Shakespearean readings were a few of our assemblies. Stu- dent-participation programs have beenrmore common this year. The Thanks- The Football Dance Court which was elected by a vote of the student body. Seated: Queen Sally Nagy and King Richard Katona. Standing: Carole Datfner, Nettie Nenno, Robert Potti, and David G. Hilston, attendants. A favorite pastime, lounging in the halls. N

giving, Christmas, and Easter assemblies were all performed by students Sports have always been in the tradition of Harding. The cold days of cheering our football team, the pride in the basketball team, and our inter- est in track and baseball will always be remembered. This was the year that the new and modern gymnasium, industrial arts rooms, and band rooms were completed. The school always enjoys itself at the school dances. The football dance, which is becoming traditional with the election of a king, queen, and attendants, and the gay spring dance are given each year. This year two more informal dances were given, the '6Sock-Hopi' and the Stag-Drag . The prom is one of the highspots for those who are old enough to attend, and for those who aren't, it certainly is something to look forward to. There are other things that are important. Studies are one. Fairport students should beiproud of the school's reputation for high academic standards. Class officers are electedg class discussions are held. These are steps in building citizenship. The clubs and musical organizations encourage co-operation and fair play. The seniors will soon leave this school life, some happy and some sad, but they all will carry a part of the school with them. The school will lose something, too. Soon these memories may grow dim, but with your Harbor Light, they will live for years. The growth of yearbooks has resulted from a real need. Long ago students assembled memory books , which were scrapbooks com- posed of programs, snapshots, and other incidentals which the student wished to remember. Out of these memory booksl' grew the present-day annuals. The Harbor Light staff has compiled lists, taken photographs, drawn pictures, and written stories to give the students of Harding High School their memory book. Through our pages We will try to construct a class, student body, faculty, and high school. We hope our memory book will be a true and lasting picture of Harding High School, 1954-1955.
