Ile will show you his class ring, of course. These rings, selected in the Spring of 1952, arc mute evidence of the fact that graduation time is near. The same crest which adorns the cover of the Picdbird is featured on these attractive class rings. Our first class Seniors captured a first place award in the float contest held at the Homecoming Parade. Bright colors and bright eyes made the Senior float a gaily beclecked background for the blue ribbon which was awarded the victor. Marilyn Bains, Linda Elkins, and Shirley Piisner, the Senior's contribution to the Homecoming Court, spoke well for their class as they reigned over the llome- coming festivities. The Seniors presented their class play, Young lVlan of Today,'1 December 9. This outstanding produc- tion boasted of the many veterans of speech work. In this 3-act comedy a few of the many talented mem- bers of the class of 1953 were presented. On April 21, the long-awaited graduation announces ments and name cards arrived. It seemed almost un- believable that the year had flown by so swiftly. Al- ready Seniors were writing in each others' memory books-Seniors who found it hard to realize that they were soon to leave their life-long friends. The class of 1953 began to show signs of growing- up. On April 23, the Seniors went to Benton to interview various college representatives, and to think seriously about choosing a career. The last days of school approached quickly. Quiet- ness prevailed in Frankfort Community High School on lV1ay 19, as the Seniors industriously labored on their semester examinations. Fun and frolic was the theme of the annual Senior Banquet, which was held May 20. This banquet, one of the most looked-forward to events of the year, provided a happy evening for the Seniors who at- tended. But, as always, one must turn from laughter to things of a more serious nature. The Seniors assembled May 24 to listen to the advice of those who knew of the path which lay before them. They suddenly realized that their lives and their clestinies were their own, to do with as they wished. As the climax to a glorious and unforgettable Senior week came graduation. The Seniors received their diplomas with a feeling of sadness that they must leave their friends and classmates. But in their emotions lav a sense of fulfillment, of serenity, of achievement. Thev were confident that their four years within the halls of Frankfort Community High School had been happy and complete. The Class of 1953 left Frankfort Community High School with a determination to do their part in making America a better place in which to live. 19 Seniors An all round 0uv. Hi-Y, Pro'ection ri .
