X I 'I 1 fir FORWARD 09 . . Every fourth year in the United States is election year. So 1952 brings the usual taking of sides and election bets. November's election resulted in a new Republican president, Dwight D. Eisenhower, once a five-star general in the United States Army. Nineteen hundred and fifty-three promises our Seniors graduating this year a new and better life outside of the school. As a result of the 1952 election, we are hopeful of a good many changes in the United States, we are hopeful that the Republicans will clear up the situation abroad and straighten things out at home. The election year shows changes in the school, not just in the appearance of the school, but in its records and achievements. The class of 1953 has a record of good scholastic attainment, sportsman- ship and citizenship. They have contributed much to the Marathon Central High School. We hope that the future is kind to our Seniors. We hope they remember the 1952-53 election year when, as voters and office-holders, they look back and remember the old school days. We cannot tell what will happen in the future as a result of the election year but we trust in Cod and government. Bernita Davis Editor-in-Chief
