QYIJAHIPJI Up to now much has been given to you. Your parents have sacrificed so that you could have the opportunity to obtain a high school education. It may be necessary for them to sacrifice more so that you may continue your education in your chosen field. You have an obligation to your family and to society for the opportunities that have been afforded you during these years. There is more to life than merely avoiding evil and doing good. More positive constructive results are needed if we are to meet fully our obligations to life. If the world of tomorrow is to be better than the world of today, it will be because each of you has endeavored to pass on to those in your group as many as possible of the construc- tive things you have learned through life. Everyone is the architect of his own fortune: life offers the opportunity only: the execution is in your hands. Theodore Roosevelt, who personified most of the fine human traits once said, L'Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords. It is in this spirit that I urge you to plan your life. LESLIE S. CUMMINGS Superintendent of Schools -4- - Ay fydutuzzjl' fn Mr' Cfuu uf 153: Another link in the chain of your lives has been forged. As you go forth into life, wherever your paths may lead. l hope you will always remember the principles for which Littleton High School stands. You have served your school well, both as individuals and as a class. and it is my sincere wish that success will crown your efforts in life and that each of you will make a contribution to life commensurate with his ability. Remember that privileges carry with them responsibilities and that happiness can not be counted in dollars and cents. May you be humble in your successes which I hope will be many. Have a proper sense of values and keep your standards high! Your school will always be interested in you. My very best wishes to you all. .IRTIIUR J. lx'li.Y.YEl' l'rinripal 45- UA. femf 514 Front Row: left to right-J. Ricard, P. Clarke, S. St. Lawrence, J. Corey, C. Johnson. Second Row: L. Foster, A.

Another school year closes and you may now open your H1953 Record Yearbook. TLP Your enjoyment and appreciation of this publication is our reward for the time R and effort put into its pages. Ln. The Record Staff has done a grand job under the able and friendly direction of Mr. Morris. E 1 Special recognition goes to Nancy St. Lawrence, Editor-in-Chief, whose untiring efforts and initiative have kept things rolling smoothly. C 9 Assistant Editor Roberta Corey also deserves recognition along with Literary Editor Eleanor Rowe, who has helped prepare this for the press and given us her 0 , literary talents. D Nancy Stevens and Nancy Ross, Business Managers, have done a great deal of work outside of school as well as in school collecting ads and taking care of Financial R 3 and Business matters. Art Rioux and Janice Beal are to be thanked for their artistic ability in our D various drawings and sketches throughout this book. We are grateful to Leon Foster and Shirley Walter for their work as Sports Editors. Many others deserve recognition for their efforts and co-operation in helping with the presentation of our 1953 Record. -6- . dll! mgome As editor of your RECORD I would like to take the opportunity to acquaint you with the changes and additions we have made over last year's yearbook. Perhaps the biggest change we made is in the advertisment section. To save space and expense we have made a list of sponsors rather than hav- ing the usual block form advertisements. This has given added space to use for pictures and write-ups which we hope you will appreciate and improve upon in the yearbooks following ours. We feel that the two new feature sections that we have added, are a big improvement. In one sense, a yearbook is a picture book, and in years to come the section of informal shots will cer- tainly help us to visualize the best days of our lives. We are sure you will enjoy the section of baby pictures which were offered very reluctantly by the members of our graduating class. Other things which we think will help make this book a treasure for the seniors and an enjoy- ment to everyone is the increase of pictures along with write-ups. We are very proud of the pages on our junior Prom. This was one of the most wonderful days of the four years at LHS, and I am sure this will brighten the high school memor- ies in years to come. We have added such things as a list of Remem- ber Whens, which, in a nutshell, reviews the laughs and happy times we've had in school. An added feature in the 1953 yearbook is the Adjec- tivus Initialis which so cleverly describes the in- dividuals in the senior class. We, of the senior class, are very grateful to Mr. William Morris, the faculty advisor of the RECORD. He has been a great help to us, not only with the yearbook, but with our senior play, the prize speaking contest, the spring production of three one-act plays, in making arrangements for our class trip which he chaperoned, and also in the class room. I am sure the whole class is with me in extending our thanks to him. As we sit down and read the class history from our yearbook, a smile of reminiscence comes to us. We look back on the happiness of the last four years: then, when we turn the page to the prophecy, the smile vanishes and we stare ahead and ask the big question ------ I Qbinmf Graduation-then what? Twelve years ago we boarded the ship called the Educator, Alto- gether we passed from one port to another, always knowing that someone would be waiting at the next port ready to prepare us for the journey ahead and to guide us on our way. It has been a long trip and once in a while we ran up against rough waters, but there was always someone at the wheel who had made the same journey on the same ship before us. With their leadership and our determination we passed through them, learn- ing something new from each storm. As is always true, some of our passengers took a shorter trip than others and left the ship, but new passengers were always joining us and offer- ing something new to the journey. And now the Educator is just a few miles from the end of her part of the journey for us. At the next port many ships will be waiting for us to get aboard. Here is the port where we separate, each of us going on a different ship. Some of us already have our tickets for the next trip and others are waiting to look the ships over and sail on the one they like best. Some time ago we began to look toward the day when we would anchor in this harbor. Now as we sail along, each day moving closer to the ship that will take us on that new and strange voyage, we begin to realize that when we leave this port we'll be no longer one group on one ship. The friends who we have lived with for twelve years, with whom we have shared our pleasure and troubles, and who were always ready to lend a helping hand when needed, will each embark upon a voyage toward the destina- tion he seeks. The time has come when we must leave the routine set up by the investors of the Educator and set foot into a new world-a world of decis- ion and competition. Through the years we have learned that if we -11 succeed we must never give up, that we finish one thing just to start another, and most of all- we've learned that nothing is free-you must give something in return for everything you receive. If everyone of us has mastered these, we have gained courage and confidence, and with added ambition are ready to meet the problems and competition of this new world. The change we are about to make means a gain of new friends, not a loss of old ones because: The little lamps of friendship We light along the way Go burning on far down the years And brighten every day. 'Tis love that keeps them burning And sympathy and trust God keep us that no lamp goes out Because we let it rust. Friendship is not something that lives today and dies tomorrow if you don't make it so, but it can be yours as long as you want it to be. What we have learned, whether from someone else or from experience, is something we cannot lose or have taken away. With these, friendship and education, each of us is ready to face what the next harbor holds. In closing may I wish each one of my class- mates the best of luck, and may each of you select a boat of ambition and arrive at the port of success.

Wants to become a track roach -13- C i JJ -AA5fory We I ' 'Li It X-S W, 1, if Z' Lv hce upon ci 7016. . . lt was a foggy, dim, dusky morn four years ago when fifty-seven scared and shaking fresh- men trudged up the l'.ill toward that great build- ing at the top where they would make their first step to the future. From the first day we, who composed that group of lowly freshmen, were looked down upon by the almighty Seniors. Trying to follow in the path of our elders we held our first class meeting to select our leaders. We found them in Nelson Kinne who was named as our presiding officer, Stanley Ross who occu- pied the seat of vice-president, Ruth Stiles, who was the one to give undivided attention to the meetings for records' sake and Nadine Blandin, was named to head the Department of Finance. A few weeks flew by. Les petitsv freshmen were beginning to feel at home and were coming out of their shells. Plans were made for our first and last weiner roast which was held at the Lit- tleton Sand Pit with Mrs. Kapala and Mr. Hor- ton as chaperones. A fine time was had by all in spite of the fact that a few uninvited Senior Guests attended and at the close of the evening we came to the conclusion that we had four happy years ahead of us. Having other things to occupy our minds, the dread of that long day, after which we could be classified as full fiedged members of L.H.S., left us. However it hadn't left the minds of those grand old Seniors and when they so innocently entered our chambers one fall day with the excit- ing news that we were to come clad in old-fash- ioned garments. the dread found its way back and until that unforgettable event, the days were numbered for us. lf many of us looked slightly green in the face it may have been because of our diet during the day which mainly consisted of garlic, onions, lemons, yeast-cakes and other delicious morsels. Now as our thoughts wander back through the last four years, we can remember saying that we had as much fun from the merrimenf as those high and mighty Seniors. So as the weeks and months flew by we be- came well-known by the upper classmen for our giggles and whispering in the corridors and study hall. Unfortunately our treasury did not burst the school safe, due to our inexperience in this money-making scheme. Sophomore l f'ar Our second year in L.H.S. started off with the usual noise. We were making sure everyone knew we were once again in the little red schoolhouse for another year. Holding a very quiet and dignihed class meet- ing we elected Carbee Roache as President, jerry Marquis as vice-president, Nancy Ross as secre- tary, and Nancy St. Lawrence as treasurer. Beginning to show more maturity, we managed to direct a little of our attention toward the empty treasury and proving how serious-minded we had become, we actually made some plans for the annual f'Sadie Hawkins dance. For a week before this dance, the boys ducked around cor- ners trying to evade the eager girls. The Top Hatters provided the music for us and the dance turned out to be a gala affair with cider and doughnuts for refreshments. Naturally we had exhausted ourselves with this strenuous task of actually putting on a dance, so thereafter we rested ourselves for the next two terms in order to be full of pep for the oncoming year. Our big money-making plans had petered out a little, but nevertheless we had covered up that empty spot in the treasury. Junior Year Early in the fall of 52l' we once again entered the portals of L.H.S. very proud to be addressed as upper-classmen. We didn't waste any time in calling to order our first class meeting to visit the polls and name the leaders for this important year. Arthur Rioux occupied the chair to be assisted by jerry Marquis, who was named as vice-president. Correspondence was to be taken care of by Nancy St. Lawrence and the pennies were to be counted by Nancy Ross. 19- Shortly following this we were then gathered together to order our class rings which we re- ceived around Christmas. Now we were well on our way. Looking first at our treasury, then at the plans for the Junior Prom and class trip, we decided it was about time we started the list of debits grow- ing on the treasurer's report. Our first money making proposition was a hay- ride which proved to be quite a success, even though the hay was rather limited! During the year a number of dances were held, which didn't break any money making records but did help the cause. Selling programs at foot- ball games and hot dogs at basketball games also helped to keep the ball rolling. Early in December first plans were made for the junior Prom, which was to be held at the school on May 9th. Weeks before the great date arrived, we set out to transform an ordinary gym floor into a lovely summer starlight evening. We all worked hard to make this wonderful event the success it was and were well paid for our efforts when the day we had waited so long for at last came. The beautiful music of Ray Ladieu's or- chestra, and the lovely array of colorful gowns added to the enjoyment and delight of everyone, making it a wonderful and unforgettable eve- ning. Senior Year For the fourth and last time we found our- selves in the classrooms of L.H.S. occupying the honorable seats in Room 10. With the usual vigor and pep of our energetic class the annual election of officers was held. Arthur Rioux was re-elected to the presidency, Dick Champagne took over the vice-presidency, and Nancy St. Lawrence and Nancy Ross reassumed their duties of secretary and treasurer. Having the opportunity as Seniors to hold the first dance of the year, preparations were soon made and it proved to be a big success. Others were held throughout the year. We knew that we would have to work hard to be able to go to New York City for the class trip. With this in mind we planned a food sale to be held the last Saturday of every month. Due to the fact that donations of food were limited, the food sale income was usually kept below the ten dollar mark. With football just around the corner, we made plans to sell hotdogs and coffee at the football games. With these profits coming in we managed to make the treasury look a little less meager. So the football season kicked out and the bas- ketball season bounced in. Once again we were out to earn money by selling candy and pop. We wish to express our gratitude to 'fOld Faithful, Wayne Ruggles, who had the unfortunate task of delivering our goods for the past two years. The next few class meetings were devoted to the day we had been planning and waiting for all summer. The Freshmen were quickly weeded out as we, of the Senior Class, chose our Freshman for the day. After a few shoe-shines, proposals, songs, little errands and of course the refresh- ments we served, and which should have been gratefully accepted because they were something you don't get every day, Freshman Hop Day ended. The Freshmen who proved to be very good sports were ready to retire at the end of the day-and so were we! Next in line was the annual Senior Play which we selected to be 'fStrange Boarders, a mystery comedy. Margaret Welch admirably handled the lines of Cordelia, the boardinghouse landlady and created a hilarious scene when she chased Arthur Rioux through one door and out the other until he landed on the floor with a crash. With these two events as things of the past we now directed our mail to New York City. We couldn't come to a decision as to which hotel we would give the honor of our patronage so after many useless arguments we turned to the treas- ury for an answer. This privilege was given to the Bristol Hotel but we must admit they didn't get a chance to get acquainted with the honorable seniors of L.H.S. because it was a busy four days in the city. At 2:00 A. M. Wednesday morning forty-one Seniors pushed their way into the Vermont Tran- sit Bus, anxious to get to the city as soon as possible. We made our appearance about noon and the tours started at 2:00 P. M. and ended at 12:00 noon Saturday. We visited Radio City, Carnegie Hall, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Hayden Planetarium, Ringling Brothers Circus, Broadway shows, Chinatown, Harlem, and .... well, this could go on forever because I don't think we missed very much. It seemed very bewildering that we could spend four years of hard work in just four days' time, but we canlt say that it was wasted because we all had a wonderful time. We returned to Littleton late Saturday night and somehow I have a feeling that most of us spent Sunday in bed. Now these events are things of the past but they will always hold a place in the memory of each and every one of us. .fd guze info Me ..7i,4fu1'e . . 1 --- if Q 'B' s.'q':ef- ' L- 4 Qv,fif. C I Stevens: It was just fine for you to come visit me this evening. Usually all the people I see come through the emergency door of the Hospital. Ross: I was lucky to get here as I left our oldest daughter in charge of the other three children. My Ford Gwendolyn stalled on Cottage Street, so while I was pushing it I grabbed a magazine from my son's stand. Stevens: Don't tell me the old Ford is still run- ning as it did in 1953? Ross: It hasn't had a flat tire since graduation night. How's life been treating you since those old high school days? Stevens: just grand, the children are angels and Vm chief assistant in the operating room year 'round. Now, let's view your magazine. Ross: Why, look at this! Those team-mates john Tunney, james Keough and Leslie Sherman are advertising a T. K. S. Construction Co. which was formerly Kenneth Curran's Construction Co. of Littleton. N. H. Side notes say that when business is poor they fall back on a weekly at- traction at the T, K. S. Casino, formerly Art's Ark. Feature attraction is former 'fMona Chris- tie in the newest creations from Broadway. who is forced to do this to support her husband and children. Stevens: My, those people look familiar. Why, it is chief operator of the Littleton Telephone Office. Rachel Gadbois, giving Mrs. Clifton Ennis tBet- ty Longchampsl a feature on not flirting with the servicemen when handling long distance calls. Ross: Oh, look at these new hair styles done by the Stevens Beauty Salon. That model, Miss Betty Ann Stevens, is wearing her new hairdo which has swept the country. She has traveled abroad and found that men's hair does not do these updos justice. Stevens: I see in this social column that Mrs. Elizabeth Elliott Sherman. fourth wife of the construction engineer, went to the Belgian Congo to visit Miss Margaret Welch who is big game hunting. They met Missionary William Wallace who was teaching the African natives the proper etiquette in eating watermelons and how to spell the word Keene, that is, Keene, N. H. journalist Carbee Roache, with the help of Miss Welch, is gathering material for his new book on Life of the Cockroach and 'tThe Habits of the Welch Bug. Ross: On the way down I stopped at the super- service station on the Littleton Turnpike only to find our old classmate, Patrick Henry joseph Cullen demonstrating his new Oldsmobile with the fingertip touch control. Stevens: These items of social interest hold the name of Eleanor Rowe, first lady Ambassador to Greece, who, while residing in Solonika, enter- tained Admiral Richard E. Champagne, head of the Far East Fleet and well-known member of the Bean Society. Ross: Here is a page of outstanding professions. john Bigelow, head electrician, has just finished wiring the new Rehabilitation Center on the site of the old Dells area. Professor Lewis Glode is head of the Physical Culture Department under the supervision of the director Dorothy Lehan. It was observed that joan Lehan, registered nurse, while off duty, was caught chasing a mouse down the hall. Stevens: The Famous Mona Christie says in this testimonial that you should patronize Teddy Halvorsen's super-service taxi from Littleton to St. Johnsbury. Trips over are made alone and frequently little Teddy Bears ride back to Littleton. Ross: Here's a picture of Mr. Leon Mousey Foster who has just completed a new super-high- way straight from Littleton to New York City in the interest of his famous ffSharkeyls Restau- rant on Fifth Avenue. This restaurant is the well known roundaway of Paul Pilotte when he is in New York on business. Stevens: Extravagant eggs in your favorite pastel colors to match your egg beaters, only 29c per dozen. Extra special, your name engraved for Sc. These eggs are produced and engraved at the famous Five Hundred Hen Ranch run by Nel- son Kinne. You can get a discount by contacting the saleswoman, Sheila Gilman, who works here part time and also for the BLATT BLATT HORN COMPANY. Ross: Help wanted! Miss Georgette Houle. man- ln., ager of the Houle's Five and Ten Cent Store requests applicants to apply to personnel man- ager, Miss Jeanette Newton. Good pay and on all Federal Taxes a 2075 commission is given. Stevens: just completing his four-year Business Course, where he entered in 1953 at Boston University, the well qualified and fully equipped Wayne Ruggles, is managing a store in the city of Easton, N. H. Ross: THE HOTEL CO-MA-HE-RY, featuring the longest bar in the world, will be open again after bankruptcy. Paul Pilotte will again return to the position of managing this bar, that is ice cream bar. Chief cook and bottle washer is joan Stevens who works on a commission of all beans sold. Manager, Arthur Rioux who insists on being called President, serves the owner, Gerald E. Marquis, Esquire, with his outstanding parlia- mentary procedure which he learned and put to use so well in high school. Mr. Rioux's book- keeper is Violet Marro, who also has charge of the Howerbeds. It should be noted that this very famous hotel which Mr. Marquis has raised beside Bedlam Acres on Grove Street, would not be what it is today if it were not for the liability of Arthur Rioux in drumming up the business in town and surrounding areas. It should be also noted that this hotel bears the initials of four very good friends of Mr. Marquis who resides here year ,round free of charge. Stevens: The new 'fHoney Sundae-through-Sat- urday is now being sold by the engaged Caro- line Lefebvre, who invented this exquisite dish while waiting for the Lyndonville roads to be plowed. She works under the efficient manage- ment of Mrs. Barbara Richardson Overs in the Parker Drug Store. Mrs. Overs took over the management of the fountain upon the elopement of the former manager with the model Miss Gertrude Halen, who has been modeling in Libbeyls new fashion center since her graduation from Littleton High School in the spring of 1953. Ross: During Education Week it was observed by principal and state sports champion, Mr. Ralph Young, that Mrs. Arthur Maynes Knee Miss Nancy St. Lawrencej was teaching the sixth graders how to pick the right kind of Buds , rose-Buds that is. Stevens: The 1963 Sports tournament is to be held at the new 1000-seat arena in Littleton. lt will feature such attractions from the class of 1953 as: Miss Sally Brittle Bones Marsh and Mr. Stanley Ross, who will feature his wonder dog, Daffy, in The Latest in Basketball, Miss Shirley 'fjuniorn Walter in One Pitch and You're Out-Cold, Mr. james Swifty Southard and his wife, both international ski champs, in The Way it is Done at Cannon. These champs are selling tickets themselves be- cause of the scarcity of ticket sellers for the price of 1Oc. Ross: Walter Bilodeau under this movie pre- view, now known as the world's most famous projectionist, and who has been traveling with a motion picture after his apprenticeship in the theatres of Littleton and Bethlehem, presents Mrs. Donald Mardin Knee Nadine Blandinj, Miss Claudette Woodbury, and Mrs. Ralph Burlock Cnee Teddy Harvey? as his newest stars in a release, MY SAILOR'S COMING HOME. Stevens: My, that magazine really went fast. It sure brings back memories of school days at L. H. S. Ross: live really enjoyed this evening. Stevens: Oh, there goes the telephone! Hello, yes, your mother is here. What? swallowed a pin! Yes, she'll be right home, dear. Your son just swallowed your pin cushion so we'd better rush to your house at once. Ross: Oh, heavens, this is the end! And my Ford without any brakes, tires, or gasoline. Stevens: Never fear as I've my 1953 jitney out- side waiting. You know you can always depend upon anything or any person who helped make that year a success, especially the graduates of the class of 1953. OHWGFJ . . We must go on!

Notable quotations taken from the play, that are so well remembered, especially to the mem- bers of the cast and the prompters are: Margaret Welrh portraying the spinster Cor- delia Tuttle, who did an admirable job with her long speaking part- Oh my stars! Candy, do you know about the birds and bees and the Flowers? Nancy St. Lawrence as Candy Fenway, who was Cordelia's adopted daughter-t'Do you like poetry? What about your Aunt Myrtle? Joan Lehan as Glory Fenway, Cordelia's other adopted daughter- I know a secret I won't tell! -26 Ralph Young as Smiley the never smiling, hard-hearted crook- Don't make me laugh! Leon Foster as the tough little crook, joey- 'AAW don't get sore, Smiley. John Tunney portraying admirably his part of john Todd, Cordelia's suitor- Cordelia, you must stop all this nonsense! Wayne Ruggles as Lon Daggett, Candy's boy- friend-- You mean, into the Valley of Death rode the Four Hundred? Nanfy Stevens as Mrs. Myrtle Hodge, the old battle-ax who was tied down in a chair during most of the play-t'And you'll rue the day you tampered with Myrtle Hodge! Patrick Cullen as Captain Winkel, the never- paying tenant of Cordelia Tuttle- Here are all my I. O. U.'s for this week. William Wallace as the eccentric boarder, Pro- fessor Harriman-!'It works Cordelia! it works! Eleanor Rowe as Susie. the inquisitive neigh- bor from next door+ My Ma says you're all queer in this house! Ramona Christie as the double-crossing dame impersonating a school teacher, Amity Haines- Now sister, dear. are you going to watch your language and try to behave like a lady, or am I going to hafta yank your tongue out.'l .Vadim Blandin as the other double-crossing dame. Priscilla Hainesfufharmed I'm sure. f'The only men around here are either seventy or cuckoo. The Explosion Richard Chunzpzzgrzz' as the notorious ring- leader, Boston Benny--HWell we're well-known to the police, but you're laboring under a slight disapprehensionf' .Alfthur Rioux as the wildly pursued Deacon, another one of the crooks- Deacon Paul Weatherwax of the non-denominational Foreign Missionary League of Boston. These parts were all very well portrayed and everyone had a wonderful time in putting on this play. A tremendous amount of work was put into this play. but everyone had a wonderful time portraying his part. Experience was gained by all involved, and everyone displayed his best ability to make this play a success. Through co- operation of the cast, crews and directors we held many worthwhile rehearsals, and succeeded up the scenery and arranging the so well that the backdrop fell down only once, during a rehearsal. For weeks in ad- in setting properties Under Cover vance members of the Senior Class were busy learning and living their parts, and gathering such necessities as tishpoles and rocking chairs. After all our hurried and worried preparations the big night arrived and our play turned out to be a huge success. The backstage crew were Leon Foster, Walter Bilodeau, Theodore Halvorsen, and john Bigelow was in charge of the lighting. Shirley Walter, business managerg Gertrude Halen. Nelson Kinne, and Carbee Roache. tickets and pro- grams: Violet Marro, Rachel Gadbois, Sheila Gilman and Georgette Houle, usherettes. The prompters were Nancy Ross, Elizabeth Elliott. jerry Marquis, and Dorothy Lehan. A gift was presented to the Director, Mr. William Morris. for his much appreciated work, and a bouquet of flowers was given to Mrs. Sar- gent for her assistance. One Gone - Two to Go ilxdcaeclluus C.

The HStarlight theme was carried out by realistic garden flowers lighted by stardust, a magnificent moon. and gay Japanese lanterns, creating an atmosphere of summer evening beauty. A wonderful time was had by everyone. danc- ing under the stars to the music of Ray Ladieu and his orchestra. An hour's concert featured selections chosen especially to emphasize the theme 'KStarlight. Dancing was from 9:00 to 1:00 after the concert. Miss Joyce Eastman. our class sponsor. de- serves special recofrnition for her tireless effort in helping us to present this gala event. Our junior Class Officers who worked to make this dance a success were Arthur Rioux, presi- dent: jerry Marquis. vice-president: Nancy St. Lawrence, secretary: and Nancy Ross. treasurer. The ticket committee was composed of Wayne Ruggles. chairman: William Wallace, Eleanor Rowe. and Nancy Ross. The band committee in- cluded jerry Marquis.

The receptionists greeted you at the door and conducted you through the receiving . Meet The Faculty line, composed of our high school teachers. During the course of the evening punch was served from a gaily decorated stand which car- ried out the Starlight theme of the prom. Two lovely bouquets of flowers were presented to our class sponsors, Miss Eastman and Miss Brown. before the prom. After many differences of opinion and enjoy- able moments, the persons who participated in the feverish preparations during the two weeks previous to the prom expressed satisfaction in the tinal results. It was a night that will be long remembered by the whole class. Amidst the magnificently decorated hall and the lovely music of Ray Ladieu's Orchestra, a wonderful time was en- joyed by all. Punch is Served jde .Syenfor Earn .Siqolaer At a class meeting on November 24, 1952, the Seniors decided to hold a baked bean supper to help toward the class trip fund, the great success of the bean supper held at the elementary school a few weeks before serving as an example of the easy money fwe thoughtj we could reasonably expect to receive. It was decided to hold the supper at the Community House on Saturday, tees, several drafted fellow classmen pitched in, namely Dot Lehan, Gert Burgess, Margaret Welch, john Bigelow, Bill Wallace, and Lou Glode, who incidentally sold almost a third of the tickets, with 62 to his credit. It came out pretty good, I guess. The Senior Class made over S100 profit, several of us got dishpan hands, and the customers were satis- fied fwe hopej.

The advertisement commit- tee was composed of Eleanor Rowe and Joan Lehan. On the Food Committee were Mona Christie and the Nancys-St. Lawrence, Stevens and Ross. g Amid a lot of hubbub and disorganization, the committees finally got down to business, about three days before the supper. Food was forgotten, details overlooked, tickets mixed up, but some- how we finally got the last customer fthere were almost 2005 happily shoveled full of beans, and gently pushed out the door, a smile on his face and a burp on his lips.

Although the first student council was organized nearly four years ago, its growth has been slow. Self-government is a pro- cess of growth and that growth must of necessity be slow if we expect to obtain results which have that quality of endurance needed to guide and strengthen a government. Today, the Council, which is the administra- tive and executive body of student government, is composed of thirteen members: the Council president: the President of the Senior Classg a representative from each home room elected by the members of that room: and two representa- tives from the junior high school, one from the seventh grade and one from the eighth grade. The representatives are chosen according to their standing in school and their leadership ability. The officers of the Student Council are chosen according to their classes and are elected by the student body as a whole. The President must be a member of the Senior Class, the Vice Presi- dent must be a member of the Junior Class, and the Secretary and Treasurer, alone or combined, can be a member of any of the four classes. It is a privilege and an honor to be elected to the council, and members should assume earnestly the grave responsibility incurred by such a privilege and honor. If, as graduates of this school, we are to find and fill successfully our place in society, we must first develop within ourselves qualities of open-mindedness, toler- ance, wisdom and cooperation. We can do this to the fullest extent through such an enterprise as student government. Under the leadership and guidance of our faculty advisor, Mr. Stopyra, and with the co- operation by each and every member of the student body, we hope to establish a miniature of that form of government which is cherished by every American.

This year the junior High has had a great deal of recreation under the able supervision of Mr. Chartier. With the help of the junior High Mr. Chartier has given a number of dances which everyone has enjoyed. The dances were well managed and many attended them. The boys had Saturday morning basketball. The winners of the junior High basketball division were the Lakers, with the team composed of Robert Stearns. john Southard, Gary Baker, Allen Ruggles. and Milton Bourassa. Gardner Leonard acted as manager of the t'Lakers. The girls also enjoyed extra activities. After- noon basketball with Miss Crafts was thoroughly enjoyed. Games were played with Franconia, as well as many within the squad itself. Following the regular basketball season Mr. Slayton and Miss Crafts had an after school league for all those who wished to play. Many students took advantage of this chance because it gave good practice for those who have fewer opportunities to play. The junior High was well represented on the junior Varsity basketball team by the following: Gary Baker, Peter Cooney, David Harris, Harry Hanley, and Allen Ruggles. Members of the junior High sponsored a jr. High dance recently. The admission charged at this dance will be used toward purchasing a new three-speed victrola for Littleton High. Under the direction of Mr. MacPherson the junior High newspaper staff has for two years successfully issued papers. A closing issue will be distributed soon. The student council representatives were Allen Ruggles, eighth grade, and judith Ross, seventh grade. Y38, mziur ,JQAQA--gifaalv 7 First Row: left to right - R. Allard, E. Hampson, J. Ross, S.

Newport 7 - Littleton 7 Outplayed by a heavier, more experienced Newport team the Crusaders came through in the fourth quarter to tie their first game of the season. The standout play and only touchdown came in the fourth quarter when Dick Corey, left half- back, went way back and let fly a nice pass to right end Al Lane. Lane went the rest of the way standing up. Wood came through with the extra point. Hampton 'I3 -Littleton I3 The Littleton High Crusaders battled to their second tie in as many starts as they came from behind to earn a 13-13 decision with a strong Hampton High eleven on the Apthorp gridiron in Littleton. Hampton scored its first touchdown a few plays after the start of the game, when Ed Mul- 48 yard line and two plays later Nick Jones, left halfback, raced 41 yards for the score. Littleton scored its first touchdown in the second period when Skip Wood, fullback, sped 15 yards down the side lines. He also swept left end for the extra point. Kennett 14- Littleton 14 Littleton, though having the better ball club for the first time this season, could not seem to get into high gear. There were fumbles, interceptions and penal- ties and except for the two touchdown spurts you would never have known this was the same team you had watched in the past games. Hanover 26 - Littleton 6 The Littleton Crusaders suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of big, fast, experienced Hanover High eleven, who powered their way to a touchdown in each period. The Crusaders scored in the third quarter on a sustained drive 142.- that was capped by a 30-yard scoring run by Skip Wood. Berlin 'I4-Littleton I3 Outrushing the Paper City opponents 13 first downs to six. the Crusaders were nevertheless denied their first victory of the season. lt was a tough one to lose but Littleton never let down for a second. What we seemed to miss in the Berlin game was the long runs by our backs, which we had seen in the earlier games. The Berlin club, paced by the passing of Bobby Clough in the quarter- back slot, and by right halfback Archie Twit- chell, took control when Clough broke loose around the right side and raced along the side- line to score, Adding the extra point Berlin ended the scoring for the evening and squeezed out a victory. The Littleton attack was highlighted by the brilliant running of jim Southard, quarterback. Sixty-Six mgm CT Littleton 27-Kennett 0 With Skip Wood, fullback, in the star scor- ing role. the Littleton High School Crusaders walloped Kennett High of Conway on the Con- way held. 27 to O. Earlier in the season the two teams battled to a 14-14 tie at Littleton. Coach Steve Slayton's L. H. S. eleven showed marked improvement in chalking up the first win of the campaign, and were in prime form to take on the strong Plymouth High team at Plymouth the following week. Littleton 26 - Plymouth 13 Hitting their full stride in the last game of the season, Littleton showed some very good ball all through the game. Wood Goes For a Gain It was the first time this season that the Little- ton Crusaders' ground offensive clicked and time after time the line opened large holes for the backs. The record for the season was two wins, two losses, and three ties. john Tunney and Leon Foster were the co-captains during the 1952 football season. With the victory at Plymouth the Littleton Crusaders received for one year the Francis C. Potter trophy, which each year goes to the winner of the Littleton-Plymouth game. Vernon Skippy Wood was elected as a back on the N. H. All-State football team. This honor is significant as only 11 boys in New Hampshire are chosen for this team each fall. 43- M ' 1 OJ I xl af M ,.ln1 l ll xt ft miff m will I Front Row: left to right-W. Clark, S. Ross, J.

This past season was not successful for the Littleton High Crusader quintet. After de- feating a scrappy North Strat- ford team at the Lancaster Jamboree 20-15, the Crusader tive proceeded to lose fifteen straight games. Some games were quite close, a matter of a few points, others were unquestionable losses. In some of the close games, the townspeople saw some very good basketball played by the Little- ton team, but the cold bare facts remain that the Crusaders dropped tifteen contests and ended the season in the White Mountain League cellar. The boys who will not be seen on the Littleton court next year due to graduation include: co- captains Richard Champagne and john Tunney, Stanley Ross, jim Keough, and our faithful man- ager, Leslie Sherman. 34 The team wishes to express its sincere appreci- ation to the people of Littleton, who rarely failed to attend the games even though the season wasn't very impressive, and also to Coach Slay- ton for his unfailing help and guidance through- out the season. ALMA MATER Littleton High School, Littleton High School, We are singing, Your praises ringing. We will never find your equal, Littleton High School, Here's to you . . . RAH! RAH! RAH! 44- The season started with mostly green players. There were two returning veterans, Karl Kelley and this year's captain, 4'Rich Millen. The new players who made the team were: Gary Baker, james Marquis, Romaine Thompson, Donald Sawyer, Peter Cooney, Rockwood Dunham, David Harris, Harry Hanley, Ronald Chase and Allen Ruggles, and our manager, Gardner Leo- nard. Our coach was Mr. MacPherson. In the opening games we lost to Plymouth twice, and Bethlehem twice by a three-and-four point margin. Woodsville defeated us by a 10- J U Z?a.4feefAa!! point margin, Lancaster won the tirst of two games on their home court. A trip to Twin Mountain took us into the victory column. Lancaster came down to Little- ton to be defeated by the Littleton quintet by a shot by Kelley in the last three seconds of play. We returned to Twin Mountain to lose by one point. Whitefield journeyed to Littleton, and being on the weak side we lost by 12 points. This year was only a building year as Coach MacPherson put it. We are high in our hopes for the next season, that of '53-'54. Front Row: left to right -Harry Hanley, Allen Ruggles, James Marquis, Richard Millen, Romaine Thomp- son, David Harris, Rockwood Dunham.

J, -' fri: K W .1 ,ff 'X ll if ik The Girls' Basket- ball team, though they did not win many games had a success- ful season. The girls worked together and went to practices every night. This is a hard thing to do when the Chips are down, and it showed that they had spirit. There were seven returning veterans this year, six of whom were Seniors. Six new members were added to the squad. Shirley Walter was voted captain of the team. The girls appreciated the help of Coach Crafts who stuck with them through the season. Nancy St. Lawrence and Dorothea Lewis returned this year as managers. An addition to the basketball program this year was the junior Varsity squad which was in existence for the first time. This had two ad- vantages. First, it gave the Varsity squad a chance to scrimmage more often. Second, it gave the Junior Varsity squad a chance to get experi- ence and guidance before becoming regular Var- sity members. A very promising group of Fresh- men and junior High girls were among the many future Varsity hopefuls. QPA .yllflwg all! There were about 15 girls out for field hocl-:ey this year. Most of these girls were veterans of the previous year when the sport was first added to the program of girl's sports at Littleton High School. The field hockey squad had a total of only four games this year and though they were not successful in winning they showed great promise against teams who have played longer. They were much stronger defensively than offensively. Most of the girls who played this year will return next, as there were only two seniors play- ing this year. This sport will become a varsity sport next year with letters being awarded, as in varsity sports. For Softball this year there were a few girls to start with. They are as follows: Nancy Stan- ley, Diana Burgess, Goldie York, Faye Dicker- man, Nancy Lehan, Myrna Blaney, Betty Lang, Sandra Goslin, Marion Moore, and Sally Bogle. Many more girls have come out since that time and a successful season is hoped for with games scheduled at home and away. This sport is non- varsity, and letters are not awarded, as the sea- son is so short and the interest is not great in this part of the state. Front Row: left to right- M. Daine, K. Clark, M.

By skiing when we could, climbing and exercising, we were fit QW is Qi 43 YUM okyf for the first race. Our first ski meet was at Berlin. Laconia, Berlin and Littleton competed during a blinding snowstorm. Littleton came through with a sec- ond place with Sandra Eastman, Al Lane, and jim Southard as top performers. Our second meet was held in Littleton. Many schools in the North Country were there racing on a frozen granular surface. Outstanding mem- bers in the meet were jim Southard who won the slalom. Al Lane, close behind jim in both events, and John Southard. who placed fourth in the combined. an excellent performance for a junior. Makings of a coming jumper are foretold by Peter Cole. At the class B Championship meet at Lebanon, Peter placed within the first ten out of fifty jumpers. Also at the class B's Al Lane took high honors which made him eligible to attend the class A Championships at Berlin the following week. Al also did very well at Berlin. The team placed third at the class B's because of the lack of jumpers. We lost by only a slim margin however. as Ralph Young and Bob Fitchett brought our cross-country score up to having four men with the first ten. On March 14th and 15th we spent the weekend at Pinkham Notch racing in the Eastern Junior Championship meet. It was not a team race but individual standings were as follows: Sandra Eastman won the downhill, slalom and combined, Judy Lane placed well in the downhill for the girls. Al Lane placed third in the combined, with ,lim Southard following Al. Harold Derosia and 48- Gary Whitcomb did a tine job in their age group as juniors. Rowing to the rain jinx which has plagued New England skiing. the Littleton Carnival meet and the Franconia Interscholastic meet had to be cancelled. but during Easter vacation a two-day trip to Tuckerman's Ravine was planned. llue to graduation we lose two prominent members of the team. Ralph Young and jim Southard. Racing on ice. in blinding snowstorms. in rain and in many other conditions we experienced a wonderful year's training and enjoyment during the ski season. Other members of the team included Pat Mc- Laughlin. janet Hooper and Gordon Eaton. Elected captain of the ski team of L. H. S. for 1953 was Ralph Young, and Alfred Lane was chosen captain for the ski season of 1954. Next year's team should be quite strong with returning veterans Al Lane, Bob Fitchett, Sandra Eastman, and Pete Cole. Rounding out next years team will be Gary Whitcomb, john South- ard. and Gordon Eaton, and doubtless many new skiers. We wish to thank Mr. McNamara, our coach, for the whole-hearted support he has given us, and for his endless help and untiring patience which has brought us through a very successful vear. ,fam JT, a A 34 Left to right: - standing, R.

At the time of the printing of this yearbook the Littleton High Crusaders have played only their first game, defeating Whitefield by the score of 9-4. The combined efforts of pitchers Wood and Ellingwood held the Whitefield nine to 4 hits to start the 1953 season off with a 1-O record. The team has some strong opposition to face this year, but if the boys look as well as they have in the past, we should see some fine baseball. With three returning seniors, Stan Ross, John Tunney, and Jim Keough, the other returning letter men include Nolan Santy, Griff Harris, Skip Wood, Dave Colby, Al Lane, and Earl Ellingwood. Also our catcher, Pat McLaughlin, is with us this year along with the addition of Jim Southard and Bill Clark, who are both out for the first time and are doing well in starting positions. -50- jacg Front Row: left to right-Peter Cole, Lawrence Presby, William Clark, Coach McNamara, Richard Corey, Richard Houle, T.

Because of the loss of many of last year's track participants through graduation, and the increasing interest in baseball, this year's squad is very small. Although the team is not large enough to compete in dual meets as an organized group, it is hoped that it will enter the State Meet, and possibly several other meets which have not yet been determined. The members of this year's track team in- clude: Ralph Young, William Wallace, Robert Fitchett, Raymond Allard, lan MacDonald, Robert Allard, and Milton Bourassa. They are practicing faithfully under the instruction of Coach McNamara, and gaining that experience and training which will enable them to prove their ability this year and in future years. l l' l, X f 'fffjil 4 i I X I, 4 .-y ll' p 9,1 rg -' x,jJyf'-f L i W wilpqyfyrluyiff iubr t ji .lb -Bin, ff UA, fl N f Q Au 'wr , Vu ,x Ll 'v ' Q.jM,, it Gieeriacfem J' l'LiI!,x-'f'l Nl, ardson, J.

The members of the band were measured for their uniforms early in the fall and received band marching in the parade, although this time they were ready for the cold weather. The band escorted the National Guard from the Congregational Church to Jax jr. Theatre, where a motion picture was sponsored by them in honor of the National Guard. Each band M them shortly afterwards, although not in time for the first football game. The band played two nights at .lax jr. Theatre, the picture being sponsored by the Rotary Club. All proceeds went into the band uniform fund. Other Littleton associations have donated money to this fund, and each donation was gladly and gratefully received by all band members. The band led the first football rally that Littleton has seen in a long time. The next day the band again played at the first football game of the season. The band played at each home game thereafter. We went to Plymouth and played there during the half even though the instruments as well as the majorettes were very sensitive to the chill of that fall day. The Winter Carnival again saw the L. H. S. -56 member received a free ticket to see the picture. After five months of receiving black and blue elbows from their batons the following girls were chosen as majorettes: Irene Finn, Rosalie Cooper, Marlene Reynolds, and Mary Ann Ross. Wayne Ruggles, Charlene Simmonds, Evelyn Lewis and Carlie Colby were sent to Nashua, N. H., to participate in the All-State Spring Festival. The band is planning on marching Memorial Day, in the Vermont Spring Festival, and in many events this summer. The band received grades for their work in the band, and will also receive a M, credit. The band is learning dancing routines which will be used next fall at the halves of the football games. The music program for Littleton High School for the year 1952-53 was divided into three sizable groups under the capable direction of Mrs. Deveda L. Cushing. The Freshman Girls' Glee Club of twenty-four members, the Sopho- more Girls' Glee Club of twenty-four members, and the junior-Senior Mixed Choir of forty members made up these groups. The total of eighty-eight is as large as any of previous years. This shows that the students still continue to have great interest and enthusiasm in particip- ating in the Glee Clubs and the Mixed Choir. At the Christmas Assembly the combined ,lunior and Senior High School Glee Clubs pre- sented a Pageant on the Birth of Our Lord to the student body. With the hard work of our music director. Mrs. Cushing, this was a very beautiful and impressive production. joan Roddy, Thelma Bixby, Betty Wood, Vernon Wood, Lawrence llresby, David Colby, mzior- enior Wwe! Czoir William Wallace. and Dorothy Lehan were cho- sen to attend the All-State Festival at Nashua on March 16-17. Mrs. Cushing brought back high praise of their work there. The annual Spring Festival was held May 7 at Littleton High School. A supper was given for the Lancaster All-Staters who were guests of the Littleton All-Staters. Guest artists were Miss Ruth Lakeway, soprano soloist, and Robert Wentworth, violin soloist, a member of the junior class at Lancaster Academy. The audience response to the concert was most enthusiastic, and all musicians worked diligently toward the success of the concert. We should like to express our sincere appre- ciation to Mrs. Cushing. Miss Dorothea Lewis and Mrs. j. Stuart Dexter for their patience and untiring efforts to make this year's festival such a success. Front Row: left to right-N. Blandin, J. Celley, N. St. Lawrence, N. Stevens, E. Lewis, J. Roddy.

The idea was to take up one of the three major sports, or a modification of them, which would give everyone a chance to participate, at the same time of the year that the varsity was competing in that sport. Classes were organized on a weekly basis ac- cording to the number of free periods available. The responsibility for teaching the groups was divided between head coach, Mr. Slayton, and the recreation director. The activities were designed to encourage all students, especially those who were not playing varsity sports, to take an active part in physical education classes. For example, during the football season, the physical education classes could be seen playing Tag Rush football at Remich Park. Instead of playing the regulation game of football which re- quires a great deal of equipment, close super- vision and results in less participation, we substitute a modified game which employs most of the basic fundamentals with the exception of hard blocking and tackling. During the winter season, the physical educa- tion classes concentrated on basketball. Many of the fundamentals of passing, shooting and dribbling were stressed usually in the first half of the class period. The latter part of the period was set aside for the choosing of sides for pick up games. These games were very popular with the students and gave all of the boys a chance to play competitively. At the elementary school a program in basketball fundamentals has been carried on, which it is hoped will arouse interest and prepare the youngsters for competition in future years. ln softball the emphasis has been on informal competition between teams chosen by class leaders. In addition to the regularly scheduled classes, an intramural sports program, under the direc- -60 tion and supervision of your recreation director, is offered to all eligible students. All rnale stu- dents except those competing in varsity sports are eligible to take part in intramural compe- tition. Any boy who was eligible was invited to join the intramural basketball league and take part in the Saturday morning contests. The league was divided into junior High and Senior High divisions. Four teams competed in each division. The junior High Lakers were the champions of this year's competition. The Lakers, captained by Gardner Leonard, had a record of 4 wins and Z losses. Their team was composed of the follow- ing players: Robert Stearns, john Southard, Gary Baker, Allen Ruggles and Milton Bourassa. In the Senior High league, Stanley Ross and his Gold Trotters were crowned champions after defeating the second place Nationals in a close race for the title. Their final record was 6 wins and 1 loss. They are pictured here with Captain Ross and include Leon Foster, Dick Champagne, Paul Pilotte and jim Southard. This first year has been a wonderful experi- ence for me. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I want to thank all the students who have helped to make the program possible. To the graduating seniors, may you have suc- cess in your chosen professions - to the rest of the student body who will be returning with us next year, may we look forward to more enjoy- able recreational experiences, .PIRTHUR CHARTIER OW MA FQPZPQJ ADI' tA.2 gli! 061,125 0 Obtl' H125 A new, modernistic elementary school has taken the place of the Kilburn School, but with this replacement I assure you Kilburn School has a certain place in our memories of preparing for life. Looking back twelve short years to those school days full of new adventure, excitement, and growing knowledge is an experience the graduates of this year will have, as well as ex- graduates and underclassmen. Remember that exciting day around the tirst of September in 1941 when mother got us all dressed up in our best bib and tucker? We proudly, with the help of mother's firm grip on our hand, marched to school, for now we were really big boys and girls ready to conquer knowledge. When we arrived we were ushered into small movable seats and given crayons and a pegboard with many colored pegs. There was so much to do, we soon found our mothers gone, so we looked for some mischief, maybe. When we did look around we found beautiful pictures of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs drawn on the black board and in the corner a tiny piano drew much attention and made a deep impression. VVell, this day went into weeks, weeks into months, while all this time we played in our own orchestra accompanied by the tiny piano. Re- member the song we used to sing each morning S Good Morning to You, Good Morning to You, We're all in our places with sun-shiny faces - - -. That piano used to make us do the funniest things. Why. it could make us run, hop, skip, jump. or gallop! After we had learned the basic arithmetic, such as 1 plus 1 equals 2 we advanced to grade two, that is if we were lucky! Here we learned the sum of 2 plus 2. Please don't get the im- pression that we did not work. Why we really did a great deal and this was proven if we received a gold star on our report card. Second grade was the year when soap was being used in the chewing organ of the body for the use of wrong words. This awful tragedy took place in the coat room. Of course, we were always angels and nvwr had to have this done to us, but it sure was a dreadful scare to see a friend towed to this room. The weather man used rain this year during the week, not only on weekends as he seems to do now-a-days, thus some of the recesses were held inside. During this time apples, candy, cookies, cake, and sandwiches were eaten, some of which were robbed from the lunch pails mak- ing the noon meal insufficient. When we graduated to third grade we felt we had accomplished something. Here we had our own reading books and reading classes. During recess, both in the morning and the after- noon, we played on the giants, swings, or see- saws. Spring was announced by the jump ropes and those catchy rhymes were chanted. With the arrival of spring the picnic at the park grew nearer. That day seemed to be the high point of not only that year but of every year. From here we moved upstairs to the sunshine room with the sunshine teacher. The Good Citizenship Club' was formed which I believe now is still holding its meetings Friday after- noons. A new course, nature, was found here along with spelling charts based on the number of words wrong and larger books were produced. Each year held its Christmas party and name drawing, but this year there was also a Mickey Mouse Christmas play to which our parents were invited. We really accomplished a great deal that year because we completed our multiplica- tion tables, so now we knew what 12 times 12 was. ln Fifth grade we were presented with huge social study books, which had a great many questions every few pages. This year we also gave a play HThe Great Stone Face, and learned our English through the story of f'john's Dream where the parts of speech were a color of the rainbow. 61- All too soon we were the people to set the example for the rest of the school. This year South America was our main topic along with other courses. Spring arrived shortly and we sang our class song from the steps of the school to the remaining students who lined the walk. Then in single file we walked sedately away from grammar school to Junior High. In seventh grade we had two teachers and were allowed to change rooms. How we would envy the high school pupils who could change rooms for every class! Everything was at sixes and sevens this year because we had seven home room teachers through the course of the vear. Upon passing into the eighth grade we began to work harder with those studies which were to be done outside of school. Many of us were very proud to relate - t'This teacher taught Q.. Mr. Kenney: If I catch you writing on the desks i. Well where have you been? There's just one more thing I'd like to mention-. Mr. Morris: Now people I must have this room quiet! We have just got to have a class meeting and get these things done. just anyone answer this question! Mr. McNamara: If this cord is six feet long and --. When do you want to have this test? How many times have I told you! Is everybody happy now? Now can't we say that! Mrs. Kane: I expect to find this room quiet when I come back. Remember this ventilator goes right up to the office. Stop licking that bowl! Miss Eastman: Now go as fast as you can and don't make any errors. This cupboard has got to be cleaned. Quick like a bunny! Miss Crafts: Leave the room! Let's get quiet. All right. you boys. you know we can have this period at 3:15. I mean it! Mrs. Kapala: I can't put up with this any longer. I quit! Freshman bodies will be all over the floor. Honestly, you kids! Mr. Slayton: Exhibit No. one T all cuckoos I my parents when they were in eighth grade and now she's teaching me! Each Christmas for these junior high years we heard Dickens' Christmas Carol and to many of us it became a part of Christmas. Then came the great thrill of choosing high school subjects. This is the way we were prepared for high school. Reading, writing, and arithmetic con- sumed most of our time. Now, as we, the Class of 1953, face a new life, a new school, and new experiences we look back upon the preparation which the best years of our life have given us. And then also we look upon the preparation we received from high school and somewhere deep within our hearts, in every single one of us, we thank God that we have this basic education which is not com- pleted but just the beginning of a higher educa- tion of applying what we have learned and been taught by experience. ,Jlauorife Sayings af aren't in clocks.
