CLASS HISTORY As the last strains of Pomp and Circumstance March fade away it is only just and right that we should look back and make comment on the many achievements of the members of our class. Our class members have taken part in all school activities and have been as well behaved and mannered as any class ever to enter these hallowed halls of HHS. Despite this fact, fourteen teachers and one principal have resigned. Graduating with us, we find sixteen original members of the class. These being: Doris Coovert, Cora Ann Bourne, Rose Marie Cotton, Geneva Lawson, Shirley Rice, Marie Trisler, Norvin Bourne, Bobby Clark, Mac” Davis, Glendon Demaree, Billy Hatchett, Bill McClellan, Bill Zody, Jim Patterson, John Shewmaker and Kenneth Scrogham. During our freshman year we elected as our officers, Norvin Bourne, President, Doris Coovert, Vice President, Pat Prewitt, Secretary, and Kenneth Scrogham, Treasurer. Our sponsers were Mrs. Ammie Alexander and Mrs.’ Betty Nicholas. Kenneth Scrogham, President, Rose Marie Cotton, Vice President, Jackie Leonard, Secretary, and Betty Jean Jackson, Treasurer were chosen as our class leaders in our Sophomore year with Mr. Blucher Allen and Mrs. William Arensman as sponsers. We entered our Junior year with big hopes and ambitions. Bill McClellan was elected President, Elvin Carey, Vice President, Betty Jean Jackson, Secretary, and John Shewmaker, Treasurer. Under our three act comedy,' The Perfect Idiot , treated the seniors to a lake outing, took buses to and handled concessions at the ballgames.’ With the guidance of Mr. Marshall Black and Mrs. Martha Raymer, our senior year has been by far the busiest. With the re-election of Bill McClellan as President, Betty Jean Jackson as Secretary and the addition of Jim Patterson, Vice President and Morris Wright, Treasurer we set the course for this final lap of our ,ourney. Early in the year we began work on our annual with Cora Ann Bourne as editor-in-chief supported by a dependable staff of hard working seniors. It was in November that the class took a forward step and held the first class-sponsored dance in the gymnasium. With the aid of the P.T.A. the event was a huge success. It was on April 2nd that our hopes, dreams, and plans materialized, for it was on this date the class embarked on a trip to Washington D.C. After a two day tour of the interesting sight of our national capital an excited class returned home early Easter morning. Immediately after our return we started working on our senior play. With the experienced coaching of Mrs J. P. Williams, we presented a successful three act play. No sooner had the curtain fallen than we began preparing our Baccalaureate, Class Night, and Graduation programs. These brought to conclusion our class activities of our high school days. Football players in our class were Eugene Motley, Jim Patterson, Billy Simpson, Connie Drury, Curtis Ransdell Jay Lee McGinnis, Bruce Bottoms, Jackie Leonard, Morris Wright, Bobby Vandiver, and Bobby Clark On the Harrodsburg basketball squad we had Bill Zody, Jim Patterson, Connie Drury, Bobby Cloyd Billy Simpson, Morris Wright and Norvin Bourne. Marching with the Blue and White we found Brennan Royalty, Norvin Bourne, Elvin Carey Bobby Clark Kenneth Scrogham, Glendon Demaree, Charles Bonta, Mac Davis, Joyce Royalty, Norma Jean Keller and Betty Jean Jackson.

SENIOR CLASS POEM The Senior Class is leaving H. H. S. All of us are in much distress. We hate to leave the students so fine, For they treated us nice and very kind. And the teachers, superintendent, and principal, too. And this fine old school, here’s to you. We have to go, as it’s a strict rule, That after the twelfth grade, we leave school; But please remember the Senior Class of 1953, For loyal, honest, and friendly, we'll always be. By Marie Trisler SCHOOL SONG We're loyal to you, H. H. S. We’re steadfast and true, H. H. S. We'll back you to stand, 'eainst the best in the land, For we know you have stand, H. H. S. Ra! Ra! Ra!
