The success that we have attained is largely the fruits of his guidance As his influence is reflected on these pages, so it will forever remain stamped in our minds. 2 Mew : .

You have gone through High School with an aim to accomplish all within your power. The class of '54 has many accomplishments of which it may, in modesty, feel proud. B your example the classes yet to follow will find a record already made. You have shown by your earnest en- deavors, a high regard for, and a sincere belief in, the cause of education. The heritage you leave behind is worthy of emulation. It is my sincere hope that as the school has served ou in helping point to a more dynamic andrhappier ife, you too, will er- petuate the good name and high ideals which it has set before the young men and women of this splendid community. cordiauy, ulaerinfenclenf SEATED L.

Cfadd .irlidfor Once upon a time, long ago, 11942 to be exactl, a group of wide- eyed and bewildered adolescents were protestingly dragged, led and beaten into entering the first grade. After six years of abuse and maltreatment, we entered the 7th grade with a new advisor, Miss McKibben. Upon her departure Tri our Freshman year, Mr. Krauss took over her enviable QU position. 1952 came with a bang. At long last we were Freshies, busier' all get-out and fingernail-less decided to have a May Dance, electing A King and Queen and four attendants. As Sophomores, we began to take our place beside the upperclass men in the extra curricular activities, and a few of us proudly participated in the one-act plays. Our athletes were improving, we added to our collection of trophies the title of Runners-up in the County. Juniors at last! For months all you could see was the flash of new class rings. The air was filled with the mumbling of worried actors and actresses rehearsing for the class play, Finders, Creepers. At the finish of the year, we splurged and spent all of our hard-earned money on the Junior -Senior Banquet. Our team won the regional tourney, but---unfortunately, that's all the further we went. Our Senior year found us occupying the honorable seats by the windows. Our now experienced actors and actresses were again rehearsing for the class play, Rest Assured, which proved to be a smash hit. Our seven athletes took the team as far as the middle of the district tournament, adding quite a few more trophies to our collection. May finds us in caps and gowns, receiving our diplomas and float ing in a whirl of parties, the Junior-Senior Banquet, and preparation for the class trip. Our High School days are over, never again to return. We bid farewell to our classmates, teachers and school and embark into the waiting future.
