The first activity was Freshman Initiation in which we dressed like Little Abner and Daisy Mae. Charlene Crum and Larry Brockett were cnosen the best dressed Abner and Daisy Mae. At our first class meeting we elected Bill Dupee, Pres.; Charlene Crum, Sec.; and Nancy Leak, Treas. We held a oake sale on October 12, and had a party in the gym Jan. 27. Our class was well represented in sports our first year with Earl Fry, Tom Shafa? and Bob Moser on the baseball team and Lloyd Patton, Merle Jenkins, Bob Moser, Claud Row, Rodney Jones, and Bill Dupee on the Reserve basketball team. Norma Morrow and Debby Barre were cheerleaders. Janet and Emma were majorettes. On returning to G.H.S. our Sopnomore year, we found Kanny Oney had left to go to work, but we had gained Chuck Watson from Mansfield and Shirley Barnthouse from Granville. At the first class meeting of the year we elected the following offecers: Charlene Crum, Pres.; Janet Duley, V. Pres.; Shirley Barnthouse, Sec; and Nancy Leak, Treas. Ronnie Reed, Larry Brockett, Earl Fry, Claud Row, Merle Jenkins, and Bob Moser played Reserve basketball while Bill Dupee and Lloyd Patton played Varsity this year. Ronnie Reed, Tom Shafer, Virgil Westbrook, Bob Moser, Don Finley, and Earl Fry played baseball, and Nancy Leak and Debby Barre were cheerleaders. In October we had a roller skating party at Mansfield and after school was out in the spring we had a picnic at Mohican Park. When we came back for our Junior year we had lost Debby Barre, who was married, Shirley Barnthouse, who moved to Nova, and Ruben Stevens, who had moved to New Haven. This year we gained Don O'Dell from Norwalk, and Virginia Williams from Plymouth, making a total of 37 in our class. In our first meeting we elected Bill Dupee, Pres.; Tom Shafer, V. Pres.; Carole Robson, Sec.; Nancy Leak, Treas; and Ruth Gemmel, Business Manager. With the Prom in tne future • « needed money, so we had two bake sales, the class play, sold refreshments at games, operated the candy booth every day, and sold cards. Our class was also responsible for the school news publication, Hi-Times whofs staff was: Bill Dupee, Editor; Charlotte Sutton, Assist. Editor Nancy Leak, Feature Writer; Carole Robson, Business Manager; Tom Shafer, joice Editor; Betty Fulton and Jo Ann Rhoades, Society reporters. The class rings, which arrived the latter part of October, made everyone happy. Our class was well represented in sports again this year with Merle Jenkins, Chuck Watson, Claud Row, Larry Brockett, Don O'Dell, and Bob Moser playing on the Reserve basketball team, and Lloyd. Patton. Merle Jenkins Lwrrv Brockett. Bill Dupee, and Bob Moser on the Varsity team.Nancy Leak, Janet Duley, Carole Robson, and Norma Morrow were cheerleaders. Emma Phillips was a majorette. The Prom's theme was Deep in the Heart of Texas. The ceiling was lowered by using a wagon wheel to fasten crepe paper to, which.was then brought to the outer edges of the gym. We had a few cactus plants to make it seem real. Nancy Leak was Princess, Bill Dupee, Prince; Kay Hans, Queen; and Bill Kelley, King of the Prom. On returning for our last year at G.H.S., we had thirty-two in our class. Ronnie Reed had moved to Sidney, Don Carrick and Don Finley to Mansfield Charlotte Sutton had been married during the summer, and Bob Moser and Claud Row left to go to work. Virginia Williams left us at the middle of the first semes- ter to get married. At our fir$t class meeting we elected Larry Brockett, Pres.j Merle Jenkins, V. Pres.; Norma Morrow, Sec.; and Nancy Leak, Treas. Freshman Initiation was our first activity of the year. The freshmen boys were dressed as Denny Dimwit and girls as his father. The Freshmen went through the usual stunts and that evening enjoyed dancing to the music of Paul WashDurrfs Orchestra. COMPLIMENTS OF TRQXKL FARM SUPPLT SENIOR HISTORY (continued) Our money-making ventures for the year were: selling cards, dances every Friday night until basketball season started, selling refreshments at two basket- ball games, and preparing and serving the Akron Standard Mold Christmas luncheon and party for their employees and families. We ordered name cards from the Print Craft Co. We had our pictures taken November 4 and 5, at Reiser Studio in Norwalk. Our recreation for the year has been a roller-skating party at the Mansfield roller-rink. The Senior Class is woll represented in all the extra-curricular activities. Merle Jenkins, Lloyd Patton, Karl Fry, and Bill Dupee are on the Varsity team. Nancy Leak, Ca'ldeen Row and Norma Morrow are cheerleaders. Tom Shafer, Chet Weigle, Earl Fry, Virgil Westbrook, Lloyd Patton, Bill Dupee, � nd Don 0 Dell are on the Baseball team. The class has been well represented in music all four years with twenty- five members participating in choir. Larry Brockett, Tom Shafer, Clinton Van Scoy, Maxine McLaughlin, and Don Hamer played in the band. The Prom will be the next great event in the year. We will appreciate the Juniors work in preparing for this event and also enjoy what we have learned in our twelve years of hard work in school. We are looking forward to the fun and excitement of the Senior Play and Senior Skip Day. We stand with abated breath looking toward Baccalaureate and Graduation, plus the excitement of our senior trip. As we walk through the halls of G.H.S. for the la3t time we will wonder what the future ha3 is store for us, and then our minds will wonder back over the past four years; years that have passea all too quickly for some but not quickly enough for others. We will be forever grateful to our parents, the faculty, merchants, and everyone who has helped us along the rough road to Graduation. --Norma Morrow and Larry Brockett CLASS FLO.ifER—RED CARNATION CLASS COLORS—BLUE AND MUTE CLASS MOTTO—YOUR FUTURE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT. ©ar ISirituBia Larry-- October 21 Bill--December 30 Earl—October 5 Don H.—-July 4 Merle—June 3 Rodney--June 11 Burhi—May 11 Sylbert—January 10 Robert—February 26 Don 0.--March 23 Lloyd—May 17 Tom—April 3 Clinton—May 19 Charles—January 26 Chester--June 25 Virgil--September 11 Charlene—October 8 Janet-August 8 Betty—September 14 Ruth—September 7 Helen—May 1 Shirley—October 8 Nancy—September 6 Maxine—May 19 Myrtle--July 14 Norma--July 2 Emma—September 4 JoAnn— March 4 Carole—December 7 Caldeen—March 13 Mary—January 16 COMPLIMENTS OF SIMMONS DRUG COMPANY $mar |) r a $ Ik t £ $ Taking a trip around the world and visiting the graduating class of 54.

The three biggest projects for us were the Junior Class Play, the annual Amateur Show, and the Junior-Senior Prom.

One of the happiest moments in our Junior year was December 7 when we received our class rings. Our class is well represented in school activities, with 8 in band, 17 in choir, 11 in glee club.

After about five minutes inside the school, they were dizzy. There didn't seem to be enough lockers. The excited students were now very excited. Where would they put their books? The problem was straightened out when the bell rang. Mr. Collitt, our homeroom teacher, took down the names of the ones without lockers, and found them one. At roll call, we found in the freshmen class: 18 girls, and 26 boys. From East Greenwich came Charlene Grafflee, Robert Griffin, Judith Gaubatz, Nora Hiltbrunner, Corinne Jones, Gertrude Kramer, Raymond Lee, Charles Magill, Gordon Oney, Leo Shemburger, Beverly Sutton, Glessie Vanderpool, Arthur White, and Warren Weigle. From Ripley came Bertha Brown, John Dawson, Doris Ebinger, Dallas Eldridge, Wendell Eldridge, Donna Patton, Alvin Morris, Dixie Luteman, Dale Lewis, Faye Patton, Tom Pettit, Dale Scott, Alberta Sexton, and Wayne Weatherbie . From Greenwich came Barbara Barre Marlin Wilson, Bob Haines, Eileen Felver, Allen Haupricht, Carol Howell, Marjorie Lowery, Karen King, Dick Troxel, Jim Shepherd, Dave Shepherd, Vernon Van Scoy, Jim Westbrook, Bob Reynolds, Delmas Hale, and Connie Van Buskirk. Joe Row came from Fitchville. Anne Brown from Virginia, was here for about three weeks. Doris Murphy from Mansfield Madison, was enrolled for six weeks. For initiation the clothing we had to wear was crazy. The boys were dressed as Denny Dimwit, and you can't say they didn't look the part'. They even carried dog collars and chains. The girls were dressed as Denny's father, with long underwear, old pants, garbage pall, and hair made to look like a man's. In the evening, the seniors made us do silly stunts. Some of them were: rolling a roll of toilet paper out on the gym floor and counting tne squares; shaving a balloon covered with whipped cream and filled with flour; pushing a piece of coal across the gym floor with our nose; and many others. A dance was held afterwards. (You can say we didn't look our best!) We elected our class officers about a week after initiation. The officers are as follows: President, Tom Pettit; Vice President, Bud Lee; Secretary, Dallas Eldridge; Treasurer, Dale Lewis; Reporter, Bob Reynolds. We decided to sell neckties as a class project.

Nancy Leak and Caldeen Row COMPLIMENTS OF BARNES GARAGE COMPLIMENTS OF JONES JEWELRY asketbaU Under Coach Raymond Low, the Greenwich High Shamrocks opened the 1953-54 season November 13 against Union. The Varsity team was composed of six seniors: Bill Dupee, Lloyd Patton, Earl Pry, Merle Jenkins, Don O'Dell and Chet Weigle; three Juniors: Jim Pettit, Bob Stewart and Bud Music; and three sophomores: Lorin Brown, Tom Robson and Tom Xeiser. The first four games were losses, but the Union and New Haven games were lost by only one and four points respectively The next ten games were all in the WIN column except the game with Union which was played at the Ashland College gym. At this time in the season the fans had high hopes for the Shamrocks as they were tied for second place in the Huron-Erie League. A 78-54 victory over Wakeman; a 63-54 victory over Milan an overtime with Monroeville resulting in a 69-67 victory; and a 66-53 victory over Norwalk St. Paul on their own floor were highlights of this winning streak. However, they weren't able to keep up the stride, and the next three games were losses to New Haven, to North Fairfield on our own floor by three points, and to Wakeman by five points. The most exciting game was probably the last one of the scheduled season in which New London won by one point. The Shamrocks had kept the New London team under control the entire game and were two points ahead with one minute to go. Poor foul shooting on the part of the Shamrocks and a bas- ket in the last 20 seconds by New London cost us the game. The season ended with an 11 Wins-10 Loss Record and found Greenwicvh in third place in the Huron- Erie League. Greenwich played one game in the County Tournament. That was against Now London who won 39-50. The Shamrocks were not able to connect for any baskets during the first quarter and a large number of fouls called against them gave New London the advantage.
