For many of them this is just a stepping stone to higher education, but for others it's the last of their schooling and, boy, are they happy. Every- one is a little nervous, hoping he can keep time marching to the solemn strains of Pomp and Circumstance. Up and down the halls can be heard, You should see my new suit, or GoIly, I can't believe graduation is al- most here. Even though many of them say they're iust glad to be graduating, there will always be a fond memory in the hearts of each senior for good old Liberty. GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS Seniors were called out of their Social Studies Classes to order their calling cards, an- nouncements, and caps and gowns. Mr. Inman had quite a time trying to keep his class or- ganized but Mr. Williams being well aware of the situation, re- fused to let more than three stu- dents out at a time. This served to remind the seniors that graduation is iust around the corner. SENIOR BALL Friday, May 15, l953: Pretty girls in swirling formals danced with handsome guys in trim suits to the dreamy music of Joe Palota and his orchestra in a transformation to fairyland of a gym for four hours, from 8 to 12, tonight, as the senior Class of T953 presented their senior ball for this year. The last and best dance the seniors have ever given, this proved to be a huge success and really made all their weeks of hard work worth- while. A nice send-off for a very nice Classl!!!!!
