IN NVITNESS WI-IEREOF, NVe, the senior class of 1953, have subscribed our names and fixed our seal the thirteenth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty- three. Testator, Donna Sue Jones Principal, Troy E. Hirni Sponsors, Drusilla Krockenberger YVilliam Stevens Character Is The Cornerstone To Success lBy Russell McCann0n, Valedictorianl In the process of the construction of all material things there must be a foundationg a cornerstone upon which the base of the building must rest. And so it is in the construction of our lives: we must have a foundation from which to build and mold our lives into what can be termed Success, both in the eyes of others and of our Maker. I can think of nothing that better fulfills thc position as a Cornerstone upon which to base our lives than that of Character. Ive have spent the past twelve years develop- ing our Character so that the foundation upon which we build our lives might be strong enough to place upon it the weighty problems that we must face in our attempts to reach the outward goals of Success. But it is necessary that we pause here to pay tribute to our teachers, parents, and friends, who have helped us to advance thus far along the stepping stones of life. No doubt they often had misgivings as to the continuation of our advance- ment, but through their undying efforts, they have placed us in a position where we can direct our lives toward a goal which will best fulfill our ambitions. I The problems which we must face will be both huge and numerous, but through the proper con- struction of our lives we can face those problems with the vigor that will place us on top in every instance. 'With the passing of our coming graduation, we must each go into separate fieldsof livelihood. Some of us will become farmers, manufacturers, engineers, or teachersg yet others will join the armed forces and some of us will continue our education in some higher institution of learning. But no matter how diversified our interests are, I believe that we can find success if we will but heed the words of Maximilian Robespierre, No man can climb out beyond the limitations of his own character. And in remembering this quotation we must try to keep our character at a level that can be questioned by no one. The Builders By Peggy Tevis, Salutatorian Friends, parents, and teachers, we the gradu- ating class of nineteen hundred fifty-three, wish to welcome you to our Corner-stone laying. Tonight we are gathered here to lay the cor- ner-stone of character, the first stone in our build- ing of success. As the builders, we the graduation class have laid a firm foundation during the past twelve years on which to build. But as the builders could never accomplish anything without the work of the architect, engineers, and contractors, we could not have accomplished this without the aid of our parents, teachers, and friends. Perhaps we are best described by Longfellow in his poem, 'The Builders. All are architects of Fate WVorking in these walls of Time, Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is, or lowg Each thing in its place is best: And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise Time is with materials filled, Our todays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. Again on behalf of the class of fifty-three, I would like to thank our teachers, parents, friends, and members of the school board who have con- tributed to the laying of our foundation and have made possible the laying of this corner-stone to- night. Isa!

The Queen candidates, Margaret Ellen Daldrup, Donna Sue Jones and Shirley Ann Canaday were escorted by Ronald Phelps, 'NVarren Ferris and Mike Ford to the foot of the steps leading to a throne of silver on a platform of blue and white. Dennis Hough, Editor-in-Chief of the Eagle, read a letter from Mr. W. J. Nifestmore, make-up artist for Paramount Pictures Corporation, Hollywood, California, saying that his selection for Eagle Queen was marked Number One on the back of her picture. After opening the pictures and find- ing the one marked Number One, Mr. Hough an- nounced that Mr. Xvestmore had selected Shirley Ann Canaday as the 1953 Eagle Queen. Miss .Canaday ascended the throne and Mr. Hough then placed a beautiful crown of white carnations and blue ribbons on her head. The crown was a gift of the Cast Funeral Home. Miss Canaday and her attendants and their escorts led the first dance of the evening. The class colors, blue and white, were carried out in the beautiful decorations of the auditorium and also in the refreshments. Individual cakes iced with white icing and a blue fifty-three in the center were served with punch. The cakes were a gift of the Cast Bakery. The evening was spent in dancing and every- one had a very enjoyable evening.

Senior Class Gift On Class Night, May 12, 1953, Dale Corkran, on behalf of the Senior Class presented a Record Player to Holden High School.

The Senior Class, Faculty, Board of Education and their guests were entertained by the Junior Class and their sponsors, Mrs. Charles Williams and Mrs. NVendell Hallar at the Gay Nineties Banquet held Thursday evening, April 30. The theme was carried out with everything from a barbershop scene to a picturesque scene in a park: 'iValls of blue and white rose to meet a blue sky scattered with glittering stars. The Senior Class colors, blue and white, decor- ated the tables in the forms of blue candles and white carnation centerpieces. The Sophomore girls were waitresses aided by the boys of that class. They were properly dressed with their long dresses and hair styles of that day while the boys wore high collars and handlebar mustaches. The food was prepared by the Junior mothers. The menu consisted of tomato juice, steak, creamed new potatoes, green beans, cottage cheese and peaches, relishes, strawberry sundae and angel food cake, nuts, mints, and coffee.
