eniom VALEDICTORIAN: Ray Avers SALUTATORIAN: Kent Damschroder MOTTO: We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us. FLOWER: Yellow Rose COLORS: Blue and Yellow 1953 CLASS SONG Four years of high school are ended, Memories are all the remain. To all our tasks we have tended, Friendships made here will not wane. We hope that you underclassmen Have as much fun as you can. And to our teachers we thank them For patience, and efforts too. We seniors have crossed the calm bay-- The ocean lies straight ahead. We will try to meet each new day Just as our teachers have said. C6155 Twelve years ago the senior class of 1953 started school with an enroll- ment of 46. It seems as if two of our classmates, Joyce Kuhlman and Lyle Peters, took an immediate liking to each other and were married in a Tom Thumb wedding. The bride was the daughter of Arnold Misgasky and Mar- ilyn Bloom. The attendants were Mary Lou Hasselkus, Peggy Beck, Kent Damschroder, Natalie Budd, Carolyn Druckenmiller, and Joyce Schroeder. In our fifth year of school the Operetta, Goldilock's Adventure , was given. Everyone was given a chance to be in it. During our first six years we gained pmany new members and we also lost a ew. Finally we were up to the seventh grade, how we ever made it nobody knows. We had an assembly for our parents and also a Hallowe'en Party at the home of Craylon Overmyer. At last the day of graduation came-34 of us went to Oak Harbor in 1949 to receive our diplomas so that we could be in that wonderful thing called high school. At long last we were freshmen!! After all our dreams we were merely considered greenies by the upper class- men. Some of the boys were initiated into F. F.A. and some of the girls into CHORUS: At school, work seemed like play, But still we did our best. Here at the last day, We face our final test. We'll try to practice that we've learned throughout the last twelve years of school We'd like to bid you all adieu. Tune--Drive Your Cares Away With A Song L5 OF? JU' f Cr.A.A, We acquired twelve new class- mates from the Benton Township. Our freshman and sophomore years fled swiftly by with only a Christmas Party to mark our social calendar. At last we were juniors. This year was one of work. We put on the play, Men Are Like Street Cars . The proceeds were used to give the Junior-Senior Prom. Our theme was Under the Big Top. The senior girls initiated us into the Versatile Club with a banquet which included all alumnae members of this organization. Finally that moment arrived when we became dignified seniors. We were very happy to see most of the students back again making a grand total of 39. In September a photographer from Joe Wines Studio came to take our graduation pictures. We received our name cards, invitations and all that goes with grad- uation throughout the year. The class of '53 is proud of its foot- ball, basketball, and track members, V the Purple 'n' Gold and HELM staff, and librarians. The juniors honored us with the ban- quet and prom in May. With the mem- orable Senior Day, baccalaureate, and commencement exercises we have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us ll
