Our class officers were: David Riesner, president; Clare Petersen, vice president; Deanne Weber, secretary; William Ehret, treasurer. In Athletics the freshman class made a very good showing for themselves by plac- ing a man on every team. We raised money by selling at games and giving dances. We started our Sophomore year off with the election of class officers. They were: John Roach, president; David Riesner, vice president; Deanne Weber, secretary- treasurer. We raised money by selling at games and holding mixers. Several of the class members were in the all-school play. Our Junior year was a very successful year. We ended the year with $200 in our treasury. Our Junior Prom was held December 7, 1951. The theme was Forest Paradise, which was a big success. Our class officers were Arlene Winje, president; John Roach, vice president; David Riesner, secretary-treasurer. The year ended with 19 Juniors left. The Senior year started off by electing officers. They were Jack Scofield, president; Jack Melton, vice president; Earbara Jones, secretary-treasurer. The Senior play was held Dec. 3, 1952. The name of the play was Just Ducky , and was a big success. Our High School career ended with our Baccalaureate and Commencement services. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, CLASS OF 1953. We, the Senior Class of 1953, being of unsound mind, weak from all school work, foolish, dullwitted, and the best-looking class ever to graduate from G.F.H.S., do hereby bequeath to our friends and enemies the following: I, Melvin 3ond, bequeath my ability to do nothing to anybody. I, Lester Brenner, bequeath my football uniform to Joe Bowyer. I, Lindy Carpenter, bequeath my ability to play football to Jerry Acton. I, Pat Driscoll, bequeath my whiskers to urville Gulseth.

Good Luck i To the faculty we leave with the hope that they won't miss us too much. With Miss Easton, our advisor, we leave a few more gray hairs and wrinkles. To the school we leave no tiling. We just leave. 12 CLASS PROPHECY The year is 1963 and as we step out of the modem atomic airplane at our desti- nation, Granite Falls, the name of the airline, “Melton's Airlines Inc. strikes a note somewhere. We finally remember him as the boy we graduated with. Jack Melton. We hail a taxi and who should we find driving it but Janet Michael. As we near town she finally slows down to 60 m.p.h. and tells us that David Riesner and Bill Gehl are in partnership. One is manufacturing diapers and the other is manufacturing safety pins. Seems they made a million clear profit in their first year. We get out at tne big new Chaffee's store and step inside f-or a quick lbok and who should we see but Alice Rogers modeling. We talk to her and she mentions that another classmate is the owner of this five-block store. Our old friend, Clare Pet- erson. She also tells us that Pat Driscoll owns the funerd. home Driscoll's Heavenly Service. Out on the street again we meet Lindy Carpenter who is running a logging company very successfully. As we're reminiscing he tells us of the fate of poor Melvin Bond, who took one chance too many on a corner by lake Stevens. They say he's shoveling coal now and keeping the home fires burning. We decide to go to the high school where we meet Annette Macomber who has taken over Miss Easton's job. We start out gossiping and soon the talk turns to our old classmates. We find out that Arlene Winje has become a famous psychologist and runs the insane asylum on top of Iron Mountain. I guess Jack Scofield sort of cracked up. He was a great scientist and discovered many cures for diseases which he also dis- covered. We hear that Jennie Lipke has become a famous blues singer. Her current movie, which is Love on a Shoestring , is now playing at the Cinema which is owned by Ervin Gardner. Since it is about dinnertime we decide to get some fish from Brenner's fish farm. Here we find Les and Kay (Fay) Brenner slowly becoming richer and richer. Finally it is time to go to the one night club, owned by John Roach, The White Cow. We see Barbara Jones here with the 99th boyfriend of hers. Looks like she's about ready to throw him over, too. Our drinks are served by Rae Fay who seems to drink more than she serves. The lights dim and Lilah Lee starts singing. Still singing that same song, Beautiful Brown Eyes. Now that we have seen and heard all about our old classmates we can wake up any time.

This was necessary for the Granite Falls FTA to become active and constituted the first job for the boys. From the constitution developed the big job of collecting dues, a job that is a ..eadache in any club. The next effort was the program of work for the Chapters activities for the year. This program is to serve as a guide for better concentration of the members toward a common good for all. From this came the Food Drive for the Needy at Christmas ' ime, a high successful enterprise. A 7arm Safety Program supervised by the members is another community project. Fund raising activities are being considered and final plans are not fully worked out.

Experience was the important factor that deter- mined the outcome of most of our games. This season has been a successful season. Successful not in ti.e number of rames won, but in learning to show good sportsmanship and playing hard to represent our school in the Tri-count competition.

Coach Bond. This year s football season wasn't too successful; we lost all but one of our games. As you all know, last year's football squad won half of their games with the help of the senior boys that turned out. ■■ hen the seniors hung their shoes up on the wall for someone IJtt lt “asn,t that easy Since most of the boys turning out were green, it was rather hard to shape up a team like the one that nad experience. The one game that the oys won this year against Twin City was one of the best games anyone could witness. And we know that next year’s team win show the people many more good games like it CAPTAIN AWARD This year the boys chose Lindy Carpenter as their Captain for the year, because of his ability to lead his teammates and to play. Lindy is a senior this year, playing his last year in football; and Lindy will be missed out on the field next year, for he was one of the main men on the line. INSPIRATIONAL AWARD The boys on the football team had a meeting and chose their Inspirational player, Harold Macomber. Although this was Harold’s first year of football, there was no doubt in anybody's mind that he was inspirational. Harold is only a Junior this year, and nextyear he will be twice as good. I think it was worth your while just to come to the game to see him run. INJURIES This year there were quite a few injuries. Walt and Tom Burrus were two starting pla- yers that were injured during the season. Tom was our because of a head injury during the Langley game. Walt was out for a while because of a back injury. Both Walt and Tom were missed out on the field, for they were a big help to the team. During the season both boys showed some outstanding playing on the line. 30 1st row: Lindy Carpenter, Howard arstow, Ted alkner.

Jerry Schmadeka, Dave Bogart, This yeads second team showed a very successful season, winning all but four of their games. You might say the second team was just the opposite of the first team, giving all their fight and drive in the last quarter, as that fight and drive won most of their games for them. 33 1st row: Ed Bond, Harold Macomber, Dave Riesner, Dave Bogart, Manager Bobby Gray. 2nd row: Coach Bond, To� Burrus, Jerry Schmadeka, Walt Burrus, Gary Weber, Dick Larsen, Manager Alan Padgett. This year's basketball season proved to be somewhat unsuccessful, tne team winning only one game; but some of the games were very good games Granite losing by a one-and-two- point margin. The one game the boys did win was the one everybody wanted to see won, this game being the Lake Stevens game. The boys fired up and snowed the fans tneir real ability to play ball. We lost the first game to Lake down at the Lake gym, by one point. There were a lot of games which the boys showed promises of winning, but they just couldn't last out that Lth quarter period. Dave Riesner was awarded the captain award for the 1952-53 basketball season. Dave is a senior this year playing nis last games for Granite High. Dave played mostly a de- fense game since he was depended on to chase the ball. Although Dave wasn't a ver big man ut there on the floor, he made up for it by his willing ability to play. The Inspirational award was won this year by a sophoncre boy, Tom rurrus, a boy who reaTl7 deserves it. Tom was the leading scorer tnis year and rad a very good season. As Tom is only a sohpomore this year, the school will be seeing a lot of him in future years. 34 1st row: Francis Johnson, Tom Burrus, Dan Walter, Jim Maw, Glen Willard, Ed Hushes, Ed Bond, , 2nd row: Assistant coach Bond, Bill Tucker, Jim Olson, Junior Rogers, Willard Mc- Gillivray, Gary Weber, Carroll Petersen, Coach Frank. The baseball season of 1952 was somewhat like that of the '$1 season, the team win- ning only one game. The boys played hard and gave everything they had. Because of lack of men, the boys were changed around somewhat in their positions. Bill Tucker held down the catcher s position whenever he wasn't pitching or playing the second base spot. Bill was awarded the Inspirational award in baseball for the season of '52. No matter what position he tackled, he did the job well. When Bill wasn't catching, Gary Weber would take tne job; and when Gary wasn't catching, he either pitched or played the third base spot. Jim Olson was the other pitcher when he wasn't holding down the first base spot. Willard McGillivray tried his skill at first base when he wasn't co ering tne snortstop position. Junior Rogers, with his strong throwing arm, held down his center field posi- tion. Other boys seen playing in the outfield were Carroll Petersen in the left field and Tom Burrus in right field. Glen Willard and Ed Hughes, being only freshmen, tried their luck in the outfield. Dan Walter and Jim Maw, also freshmen, took over the infield spots on the team and played them well. 36 37 Push hrrd 94jmJk ♦ i fkA u; • Murlfti Vwi Dale� - f pri � 1 C Hin L sli rg G 8- c j % • • •r r j av'C ill- ,� .
