Senior Class Officers Richard Krekemeyer lSecretary-Treasurerl, Russ Nemer lPresidentl, Frankie Epperson lVice- Presidentl, Senior High days will soon be pages in our book of memories. These three years will give us memories that will linger forever--big ones we will always be able to recall and lesser ones we can bring back whenever we see some name or some face in our yearbook. The hallways where we walked and talked land flirtedl, the stairs that we climbed so often land used for cozy two-somesl, the classrooms in which we spent so many worthwhile land boringl hours, the lockers we loaded with comics, initials, notes, land many other valuables l, the books we car- ried home each night land didn't studyl, --these we will remember. Yes, and the teachers lbless theml, they tried the ir best to educate us and who knows, maybe we learned more than they thought we didf Without their guiding hand land their testsl we could never have attained our goal -- a gigrie-d diploma! Our organizations, associations, and clubs, we won't forget them either. Pins to buy and dues to pay lbut refreshment time at each meeting.l The service they taught us to give and the training they gave us for our future will not let us forget them. Carnivals and dances and the annual Mardi Gras, sponsored by the Student Council, not only gave us good times but also enough money to pay our share on such school equipment as movie projectors, stage curtains, and trophy cases. A very important memory of our school life will be our sport activities. When we think of foot- ball, basketball, and track we will remember the boys on the teams, the boys on the bench, the cheerleaders, the fans, land the score., Football will recall to us our three homecomings--all happy ones because the Tigers won. We'1l remember the homecoming queens, two of them from our class. We'll reminisce and think about the snake dances, the bonfires, the parades, the coronation ceremonies, and the homecoming dances. Football will also remind us of the J-C Bowl Game of our Sophomore year, an honor we achieved because we had won first place in the conference. ln baslfetball our boys won first in the conference all three years, sharing the crown with Chillicothe this year, They have also won first in the Chillicothe Tourney each year and two out of three years, the regional tournament, which made them eligible for state competition. Vtfe will always remember the other classes--the ones who have gone on ahead lthe ones we looked up to when we were Sophomores and Juniorsl and the ones who will be future Seniors lthe ones we, as Seniors have been able to look down on,l Most of all though, we Seniors will remember each other. We have spent three years together, working, learning, playing, and preparing. Yes, preparing for the future we are about to face. We are glad to be going toward our own at last but nevertheless we shall always think back fondly over our high school days as wonderful and happy ones. So we, the Senior Class of 1953, leave high school hoping that the classes of the years to come will have just as many pleasant memories for which to be thankful.
