Foreword The Yearbook Staff has assumed the task of preparing an everlasting chronicle of the events of which the Class of '53 has been a part. We have tried, as best we can. to capture and record the thoughts and emotions of our class during our four years at Hicksville High. We have done this pri- marily by means of photographs; avoiding excessive reading material. We realize, however, that neither word nor pictures can fully capture the events, some melancholy and some jubilant, which were part of our high school experiences; but we have endeavored to recall incidents which will, un- doubtedly. be among the most treasured of our souvenirs. The staff entertains the hope that all our fellow classmates will enjoy this publication, both at present and in the future, and the fond memories which it will serve to incite.

Finally, we need a purpose to live for. We need only to catch the vision that inspired the fathers of this great Republic who sought to establish a nation whose free institutions would be an example to all. The task is still unfinished. Their vision is yet unfilled We need the help of American youth today in blazing new trails to insure to all people, religious freedom, political freedom and equality of economic opportunity. success.
