Senior Class Histor Sands of time have fooled many people, but the most surprised individuals of this epoch have been the Seniors of Littlestown High School-namely the Class of '54. The proverb, time and tide wait for no one, is especially true for us. Here we are, the citizens of tomorrow, at the end of our glorious high school days. Now as we face graduation, we are ready and anxious to inspect the actuality, verity, and the reality of the world. This is by no means our only thought. We cannot forget our memories of L.H.S. Let us look back over some of these memories. Ir all began on that bright and beautiful morn- ing in 1948. To be exact it was September 11 when the corridors of L.H.S. discovered one hundred and six human beings rambling around while wait- ing for guidance and instruction in order to pre- pare themselves for later life. Naturally, we ac- cepted the traditional name of any new class as greenies. This year went fast for us since it was a new fad in our life, and, also, we were kept busy by our studies and our extra-curricular activities. At the end of the year, after visiting the Freedom Train in Gettysburg, we were looking forward to our summer vacation. Returning in the following fall, we were housed in the new classrooms of the new addition on the northeast corner of the school. Once again we had to cope with new situations. Not only did we have to contend with the new environment, but, also, with the upperclassmen who were always giv- ing us a rough time. In spite of the fact that we lost a few members over the previous year, we were very active in clubs, plays, chorus, band, and sports. The highlight of the year was our social function, the Valentine Party, but we shall not forget the viewing of the Gettysburg Battlefield nor the school picnic at Forest Park. After a seemly vacation, we began the year 1950-1951 by using the textbook and the tablet. As usual the name of 'QFreshman, was applied to us. This year the Junior High football team was suc- cessful by winning all of its games, but this wasn't the only successful affair. The basketball team, the chorus, the cast of the underclassman play, and the reporters in journalism turned in Hne per- formances. Of course we learned much from -our books, but also from other methods. Such a method was going to Harrisburg to see our state govern- ment in action. With all of this, our Freshman year was brought to a close. Here it was! Here was a year which we thought would bring us prestige and importance, but what happens. We were destined to become Silly Sophomores. Although we received that name, we took our studies more seriously and we began to feel more responsibility. We even lived up to our name by acting silly and having fun. At the end of this year we ordered our school rings and we were anxiously awaiting the next year so we could receive them. As Jolly juniors, we look around at the familiar faces, but some were missing. Our en- rollment dropped to sixty-three. Our attitude was now changing since we had only two years re- maining. We became more enthusiastic toward our school work because we knew we had to make these last two years good ones. Students were more active in extra-curricular activities since they were more responsible and held higher positions in many organizations of the school. The highlights of the year were the Christmas Dance, receiving our class rings, and the Annual junior-Senior Prom which we gave to the Seniors as a departing gift from L.H.S. In 1953 we entered the corridors of L.H.S. for the last time as students. At first it was difficult to visualize ourselves as Seniors. Here we were, our last year together. We have done many activ- ities and made many friends. It seemed impossible that our happy days would soon be over. We will never forget the gay moments of the Christmas Dance or the Prom. It was a busy year and we accomplished much although it took a great deal of work. Examples of this work were: preparing The Littonian and the Senior Play. Before we leave L.H.S. and look to the future we give a word of advice to the underclassmen: Work hard and do your best, you'll never regret it. Then in closing, we-The Class of '54--say au revoir L.H.S. Class Motto-Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Class Flower-American Beauty Rose Class Colors-Blue and White twenty mne
