vhs! fr? Q-W-r ni QP ' X .., SW . 'JV linrewnrd Mirror, Mirror on the W all, Show us the fairest days of all. These lines set the theme for the 1953 i'Mirror,, of Ilion High School. Looking into the Mirror , we see memorable pictures of our Senior year, the big events, and the average daily routine. Will any Senior forget the thrill and frenzy of class games . . . the excitement and pride of Sen- ior Play night . . . the frantic bustle of Home Room 13 when a deadline nears . . . the passing of pic- tures and cards to friends . . . the growing tension and lost feeling of graduation. Memories of an average school day persist: Miss Gordon collecting write-ins . . . a groan of protest when an unexpected assembly is announced . . . the unanimous cheer when it is announced that a teacher's classes will not meet . . . desperate inde- cision over your future . . . heart-in-stomach anxiety before an exam . . . Seniors and friends signing yearbooks. What about the Big Events? The time you wore your first corsage and formal evening gown to the Ball . . . the informal Friday and Saturday night dances . . . the friendly enmity and excite- ment of the Herkimer-Ilion game. Informal pictures and copy in the Mirror remind you of these irrevocable moments, aid you in storing them in the treasury of your mind.
