Cossaboon, Carpenter-Carnival Margeson-Soda Bar Mr. Leland- Short Quiz Struzinsky, Millspaugh-Football Weather Owens, Kellogg-Pajama Party Swan Wann, Ah! the ecstasy of our freshman year. Fresh is hardly the word, for by that time we were well acquainted with the dos and don'ts of the school system. We had experimented with various teachers and knew how many pranks we dared pull without being punished. Our freshman year also gave us our first opportunity to taste high school life. For most of us it was quite confusing, since we wanted to take in activities but lacked the courage. Nevertheless, under the capable direction of our class advisors, Miss Fox and Mr. Gustin, we sponsored a skating party, and the end of the year left us with many pleasant memories. Our sophomore year found us a little older and ready to start earning funds for our final goal, our senior trip. Our class officers were Ernie Taylor, President, Ann Margeson, Vice President, and Gwen Catrow, Secretary. Our advisors were Mr. Leland,Mr. Dreer, Mrs. Cornelius, and Mrs. Conklin. We started our fund raising project by sponsoring a sock dance, Paddy's Jig, which proved very successful. Kay Landon and Don Wheater were award- ed the prizes for the most original socks. The year flew by, and April found us with eight new librarians -- Ann Mickle, Barbara Blowers, Nancy Goodyear, Carol Davies, Gwen Catrow, Barbara Shively, Mary Hansen, and Maria Clifford -- and about twenty prospective cheerleaders, which in May were narrowed down to five: Ann Margeson, Donna Lee Burt, Letha Blodgett, Barbara Blowers, and Nancy Robbins. In our junior year we became more intent on making money and set out on various projects, two of which were the Jack Frost Frolic, the first dance of the year, and a talent show later. The dance, well attended, brought us nearer our goal. Our talent show, the first of it's kind at H.H.S., was produced with an air of pes- simism, but it proved to be a great success. Local talent never before realized was brought to light. What a stir of excitement our junior rings produced. Antici- pation of receiving our rings ran high until they were actually in our possession. And then what oh's and ah's there were! And who could forget when Washington, literally, came to Horseheads? Of course, we mean the Student Council elections. The students had a taste of enthusiastic campaigning with speeches, posters, and a parade. The results: Jack Barber was elected presi- dent, Chuck Rosak, vice president, Caroline Smith, secretary, Cynthia Janne, treasurerg and Kay Landon, historian. We all looked forward with gay expectation to our Junior Prom. What fun it was to plan and decorate for it under the supervision of our co-chairmen, Jo Ann Smith and Jack Margeson, and how thrilled we were with the lovely results. Nancy Robbins and Jack Margeson were crowned Queen and King on a newly built throne that had taken weeks of preparation. We owe most of the credit to Norm Evans who devoted many hours to the completion of the throne. And who could ever forget Mr. Leland's long poem de- scribing each candidate while the tension mounted? 24

At long last came Junior Day. We presented an assembly in which the octet sang and a magician performed. We also composed a little song in honor of our da . yBefore we leave our junior year, we must not forget to mention the ones who made our success possible -- our advisor, Mr. Thomas, and our class officers: Alan Hutchinson, President, Jack Margeson, Vice President, Jo Ann Smith, Secre- tary, and Carol Davies, Treasurer. At last we were seniors and rather surprised at not feeling older. Immediately after election of officers: Ernie Taylor, President, Jack Margeson, Vice Presi- dent, and Ann Margeson and Barbara Smith, Co-treasurers, we were off on a money-making project selling stationery. Shortly before Christmas we undertook our magazine campaign. We conducted the campaign as a contest with Jack Barber and Barbara Blowers as team captains. The business managers were Jack Margeson and Nancy Goodyear. Jack Barber's team came out on top, so it was rewarded with a dinner prepared by the losers. At the close of football season, Varsity H Club sponsored the Annual Home- coming Dance over which Ernie Taylor and Nancy Robbins reigned as King and Queen. After the conclusion of the magazine campaign, plans were made for our Sen- ior Ball, the Winter Nocturne. The coronation of Queen Jo Ann Smith and King Fran Ward proved the high light of this gala affair. Then came the time for senior play tryouts, and since this was our last big money-making scheme, we had to produce a hit. But we soon came to realize that the cast wasn't all that counted, the stage crew was indispensable for the success of our play, Every Family Has One. The re is a very important part of our class history which, up until now, has gone unmentioned -- our senior class advisor, Miss Hall, to whom we owe much of our success. To her, go our deepest appreciation and thanks for the patience she maintained when we became over-exuberant and for the encouragement and assistance she gave us in reaching our goal, earning the funds for our senior trip. And now with high hearts the Class of '53 can look forward to bright futures as they take their places in life. The arrival of spring brings the tense waiting for the announcement of the new librarians. After Easter, training starts for eight girls, chosen on the basis of scholarship and ability to deal with others. This training must be thoroughly ab- sorbed before they are to assume the responsibilities of librarians. These girls are taught to slip and file books, to set daters, to shelve books, to file cards, and to make up records of attendance and circulation. They also must be able to keep order in their assigned periods. The regular meetings of the Library Club are held every Wednesday. During this time mistakes are corrected, shelves are read, and bulletin boards are planned. This schedule is interrupted only by inventory, which is taken twice a year. The picnic supper that comes with warm weather is a great joy to everyone, for even the strictest librarian loves to eat. This supper is excelled only by the spaghetti supper, given each year in December by our head librarian, Miss Hall, These suppers justify their fame as is proved by the look of anticipation in each librarian's eyes at the mention of the word spaghetti. June brings the final inventory and closed doors until September. Then there are more headaches, problems, and joys for the Lib-rary Club.
