MASCOTS GINGER LOU HARRIS Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O.C. Harris. JOHNNIE CRAIG Son of Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Craig. CLASS POEM Within Glenwood walls we sit In deepest reverie, Recalling the da s here spent By the class of ' 53. Through these dear halls we strode, When life was carefree; Yes, happy days were these For the class of ' 53. Now the time has come, The moments swiftly flee, When we must depart. This class of ' 53. To our teachers, we would say Many thanks to thee For you loving guidance Of the class of ' 53. To those we leave behind, Juniors, Sophs, Freshmen, three, Many blessings to you From the class of ' 53. When in future days we dream, Happy we will be, If we hallow memories Of the class of ' 53. Raymond Ledbetter POET CLASS COLORS CLASS FLOWER Blue and Gold Blue Violets CLASS MOTTO The higher we climb the better the view.

HISTORY OF CLASS OF 53 History was indeed begun when, twelve years ago last September, a crowd of hurrying mothers led, followed, or dragged their hopefuls to the seat of learning. Here they were received by Miss Barbara Wagner and Mrs. Earl Woody, and the first round of the ladder of knowledge was mounted. Eight years we slaved, learning what we possibly could, forgetting the rest. Long remembered will be the multiplication table because of its difficulty. In May 1950, eighty-one of us bade Mr. and Mrs. William Elmore good-bye, thinking that we were ready for high school and that all worries were over. In September the same year, we entered high school. At last we were experiencing that grand feeling of being a high school student. To get to the right class on time and not to starve before lunch became our chief ambitions. We regret to say that these goals are as yet unattained. Were our heads held high when we became Sophomores. Some of the freshmen greenness had worn off and we were on the way to becoming Seniors, but algebra and biology came along to put our minds back to work again. The Junior Year! Will we ever forget the play Faith, Hope, and Flarity? The scuttle for raising money to give the Seniors a banquet or the joy of actually going to the banquet? But rings, rings, class ringsl stand out in our memory as being the most important. Shall we ever forget the feeling of choosing the ring that we were to wear? The ring which was to remind us of our Alma Mater and our carefree classmates. A dignified number, left at the gates of learning eleven long years ago, were Seniors on the home stretch. We started our last year with much zeal and enthusiasm knowing there were many things that were yet to be completed. Imagine ordering our invitation, announcing our gradauation exercises the printing of our annual, The Nushka anticipating a banquet given for us. Through all these incidentsand many otherswe haveat last ascended the top round of the ladder of a high school educa- tion. As we continue the endless task of learning, our thoughts are drawn to these lines written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime. A nd, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Anne Haney CLASS HISTORIAN
