CLASS I-IISTCRY In September, 1949, we, the class of 1953, made our first appearance in high school. For almost eight years we had looked forward to the time when we would be high school students. We still feel grateful to our first grade teachers, Mrs. Gail Moore and the late Miss Bertha Steele. We realize the great responsibility they had in teaching a grolpp pf small boys and girls to read and write and to-iind their way around at sc oo. u We were a class of fifty-three when we graduated from the eighth grade. Six other students joined us from Valmead. It was a pleasure to welcome these six students to our school. This made our number Hfty-nine. Mrs. Curtis and Miss Mast were our Freshman teachers. We elected our class officers and got to work. Before we knew it, the year was completed and we were Sophomores. We lost several of our classmates and were now a group of forty-tvvo. Cary Clark was elected as our class president. Our activities were a bit numerous this vear. In the fall of ,51 our Junior Class was a happy group of thirty-four. Eight of our classmates failed to return to school, but it was a privilege to welcome Carolyn Bradshaw to our class. This year we werenit divided into two sections, Mr. Lyle B. Cook was our home room teacher. Tony Woods was elected presi- dent of our class, Hersel Storie, vice-president, Edna Hawkins, secretary, and Sue Watts, treasurer. Because of our aggressive campaign, our own Edna Hawkins was elected Miss Happy Valleyf' We had numerous important activities during our Junior year. Among them was the ordering of our class sweaters and rings. The event that almost everyone looked forward to was the Iunior-Senior Banquet. The banquet was held at the American Legion Home on April 25. Everything was grand, and those who attended will long remember this festivity. Our final year began in September, 1952, with Mr. Edwards as our home room teacher. Cary Clark was elected president and we dignified seniors began working on the many tasks that were before us. It was a great pleasure to pub- lish the school annual. Letis hope everyone will enjoy and treasure it in the years to come. The outstanding ventures of our Senior year were the publishing of the an- nual, the presentation of two class plays, and the preparation for graduation. We will forever be grateful for the privilege of attending this school and for the guidance and encouragement of our parents and teachers. When we receive our diplomas, the history of our class as a group ends, and each member will write his own history by his future deeds. FAYE CLOER, Historian
