The expected moment Spanish Club ' s colorful float Mary Jane, Queen Elaine, Carol and President’s Address Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We of the graduating class feel honored to have you, our friends and relatives, here at our graduation. Our trip through school could be compared to the Journey of a ship down a long difficult river. We have come to the delta of that river now and are about to go into the ocean of life. In our journey, so far, we have been guided by our parents and teachers. But now that assistance is, for the most part, gone; some members of our class might go on to colleges and universities and others will work in factories. Now someone might say that the people who go to college are the only ones that are important. But is it not true that the greatest leaders in the world would be helpless if there were no one to follow. Some men are great leaders; others are not. Some men are great scholars; others are not. Any man that has done his part in contributing to civilization is a success. Any man from the street sweeper to the President has made his life a success, if he is doing the work that he is capble of doing and if he does it well. We have learned much from books, but not all knowledge can come from them. We have learned things that are far more important. These other things that we have learned will probably prove to be more important to us in life thah what we have learned from books. And now, upon graduation, we will take our places in adult society. We hope you enjoy our commencement program. Henry Reichle Class Poem We Mariners, the class of ' 5 4 , Met upon a distant shore. Standing ready to board the ship That would ta ke us on our four-year trip. We stowed the cargo, raised the sail. And prepared the ship for the strongest gale. Soon we had left the quiet bay And the rolling ocean before us lay. No winds, nor waves, nor storms we met. Could change the course that we had set. Our ship sailed on through night and day Her colors flying, red and grey. Sometimes we thought the voyage was long But now we know that we were wrong. We ' ve found the ocean was not too wide Now that we ' ve reached the other side. Tho we studied hard, when work was done We found we had time for some fun. Until one day we sighted shore. Which meant Commencement in ' 54. We ' ll never forget our four-year trip And the days we spent aboard the ship. And tho we loved those days at sea We know the best is yet to be. Marguerite Hall Class Motto To see ourselves as others see us. Class Colors Class Flower Red and Grey Red Rose Class History In September, 1950, we set forth in our Freshman year, seventy- four strong. Under the guidance of Mr. Ketner and Mr. Conners, we accomplished many things which caused other grades to 1°°£ with envy upon our Freshman class. Under the leadership of Richard Johnson, our president, we had a very successful Junior Red Cross drive Homeroom A challenged Homeroom B to a race. Homeroom A won the challenge, and B paid the forfeit with a picnic. Under the super- vision of Mr. Ketner and Mr. Connors, we enjoyed an afternoon at the Lions park. We played softball; and, of course, there was plenty of food on hand. Everyone came home tired but very happy after our first class party. As Freshmen we gave a record dance. It was well attended and will always be amoung our fond memories of the year. We brought our year to a close with a picnic at Lakeport. Again under the watchful eyes of Mr. Ketner and Mr. Conners, all who were there had a wonderful time. There was plenty of food on hand at all times and much. sun. We came home sunburned, water- logged, tired, but looking forward to our Sophomore year. September, 1951, found us back after a ten weeks ' vacation and ready to take up our role as Sophomores of Marine City High School. Under the leadership of David Holland, our class president, and Mr. Connors and Mrs. Joachim, we began a very enjoyable year. As Sophomores we were allowed to give another dance. A large crowd attended and everyone had a grand time. In fact, everyone hated to leave when the hands on the clock pointed to eleven- thirty . Our Sophomore year came to an end, but it will never be forgotten by any of us. We were all looking ahead, however, with great pleasure to becoming Juniors. In September, 1952, after a ten weeks ' vacation, we were back again and this time as Juniors. Our class sponsors were Mr. Connors and Mrs. Joachim. Virginia Malcolm led the class as president. During our Junior year. Marine City High School held its first homecoming. Two of our fellow classmates. Bill Ameel and Nancy Clark, were elected king and queen. In the spring of the year we had a magazine and a stationery sale. Everyone went out and sold these items and we very easily met our goal of $1,000. The boys challenged the girls to a race; the boys won and the girls treated them to a dinner. Everyone enjoyed thrmselves tho. May 28 was the night of the annual J-Hop, Night in Venice. The music was furnished by Jim Hendrick ' s orchestra. Under the supervision of Mike Gaston, we had one of the most colorful J-Hops ever given. June was upon us then and so was the Junior-Senior Banquet. David Holland served as toastmaster. The meal was en- joyed by everyone, and after dinner Tom Horn furnished us with entertainment with his accordian. Following the Banquet, the Prom Aloha was given at the Jefferson St. Gym as a farewell to the ' 53 graduating class. With our participation in the Baccalau- reate exercises and graduation we brought our Junior year to an end.
