In life we meet people as powerful as kings and queens, people who are so successful in their field that they are aces, and of course, there is always a joker. Here at Horseheads High School, we have been taught to become ex- pert at this game of living: taught to play the game win or lose. We feelwe shallreturn to our alma mater as spades - our trade mark for the roots we have put downg as cluos - organizations in which we are doing our partg as hearts - showing our love and good will for mankindg and as dia- monds - possessing the polish and brilliance of rich, full lives. 2 DEDICATION: In this scientific age we are most fortunate in having an ace in science on our faculty - Mr. Dreer. This quiet soft- spoken, friendly man with his droll sense of humor has be- Come endeared to the students. His patience is endless and his ability to explain the obscure, is indeed marvelous. That the poorest student can obtain passing grades with his guid- ance is proved in June, when - lo and behold, we pass his courses. 3 MR. HAROLD MERRY Principal MR. C, I.

The magazine captains were Pat O'Buckley and Gale Smith. The stationery campaign was led by Minnie Huffner and Don Playfoot. All members of the class helped make this project successful and the result was money for our trip to Washington during Easter vacation. We held a class vote on whether to take a trip or use the money for another purpose and there were many adequate reasons for each side, It was finally voted to take the trip, The Homecoming Dance was held November 14th and Minnie l-iuffner and Bruce Hallock were crowned queen and king. Soon plans were made for the Senior Ball, Mistletoe Merriment . The co- chairmen were Barbara Newman and Robert Burris, who with the aid of all eager seniors, were able to decorate the gym effectively with a stately lighted Christmas tree, pine boughs, scenes on the walls of Santa's helpers, and mistletoe which manyahappy couple found themselves under! The candidates for royalty were: Jeanne Ba1og,Ioanne Frederick,Barbara Newman, and Minnie Huffner for queen, with Charles Rosak, Dave Searles, and Nelson Kramer for king. Just before inter- mission, Mr. Leland, our M,C,, announced Jeanne Balog as queen and Dave Searles as king. As the clock struck one, everyone was reluctant to end such a perfect night so soon, and so the parties flourished and everyone had a wonderful time, always to be remembered by the Seniors. Next came New Year's and a party was held at 7 Acres' with ice skating and merry-making. Our senior play was a successful money-making project under the hard work of our director, Mrs. Linn, and who could ever forget all the work of Mrs. Boggs who helped to make our class so successful. As this year comes to a close, we feel dejected and happy all at once. Sad because we are leaving our alma-mater and friends behind. Happy because we are going on to new and better horizons in the future years. Weller, Kramer Suffern, Affeldt, Lindstrom, Mit- Whistle a happy rus Travers, Mr, McFarland - t Illlle Au ograph please.

Determination,hard work, eager planning, and interminable meetings were all a part of producing our '54 yearbook. Deadlines had to be met, a sufficient number of books subscribed for, and ads had to be sold be- fore the staff could start the final planning. Under the guidance of Mr. Thomas, meetings were held every Wednes- day noon. Discussions were held on important subjects such as the theme, the dedication, the division pages, and what type of cover the yearbook should have. All this information was kept secret and now, at last, we are able to reveal the result of our hard work. 33 JUNIOR LIBRARIANS Front Row- Courtright, Hurnpries, Randolf, Schoenhoffen, Houghtaling.
