The job of advising seniors rests with the class advisors and guidance counselors. Mr. Lints, assisted by Mrs. Dendy, Miss Rhodes, and Mr. Lawson, has been filling the position for seven years.

Tranchino bringing you the homeroom notices for today . . . year's class has a large number of collegiate students, but its interests are as varied as any big group's can be.

Stevenson enior Cfarizi Give the world your best and the best will come back to you. -Class of '54 HIS is the motto chosen by the graduates of l954, who are already giving the world their best. This particular group of seniors has shown outstanding ability and leadership in the tour years during which they crossed several more yards en route to their final, respective goals. Dick Cheshire, was honored to represent the class in the position of top man on the totem pole. His main interest and ability lie in track, ai' which he's an accomplished star.

With a class as large as this there were far too many candidates from which to choose only four otticers.
