Qx w?v4'7's!5 c554E? EV XE, L Y On one bright September morning in l9h9,twenty-four freshmen entered M.H.S. with one great achievement in mindg graduation day. Under the supervision of Mrs. Marvin Gennings, we elected the following officers: Paul Duffy, President, Paul Corum, Vice- president, Ouida Bush, Secretary, Martha Browning, Treasurer. For our class party we all went to the skating rink in Lexington. When the roll was called at the beginning of our Sophomore year we found that Shirley Means,Martha Browning, Joe Ward, and David Green had dropped out and Mary Lou Shipp and Eugene lathem had been added. Under Miss Betty Compton's guidance we chose Paul Corum, President, Paul Duffy, Vice-president, Mary Lou Shipp, Secretary, Retta Updike,Treasurer,to guide us through the year. we loved parties so much that we spent a weekend in May at Clifton, with Miss Jane Chitwood, Mr. and Mrs. Roe, Mrs. Pearl Summers,Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Wash, Mr. A.D. Woodrum,and Miss Betty Compton as our chap- erons. we had our first chance for making money toward our trip to Washington by selling candy at all of the basketball games. we also sponsored a Stunt Night in which the upper seven grades participated. That Christmas we went Christmas caroling and invited the Juniors and Seniors. After caroling we went to the Christian Church and had hot cocoa and sandwiches. In the spring of the year we had two new pupils, Georgetta and Harold McLean, who came to us from Elkhorn. we came back as Juniors, in the fall of 'Sl with Mrs. Donn Ramsdell as our spon- sor. we had a total of 1? pupils. Eugene Latham returned to his home in South Carolina, Mary Lou Shipp entered Sullins in Virginia, Paul Corum went to Darlington, David Havens entered U-High, Peggy Farmer enrolled at K.F.O.S. and Ralph Estes joined the Navy. Alma Rigney was added that year. we chose for our class officers, Presi- dent,Paul Duffyg Vice-president, Ouida Bush, Secretary,Margaret Summers, and Treasurer Alma Rigney. Again that Christmas we went Christmas Caroling. Afterwards we went to our sponsor's home for sandwiches and cocoa and played games. In February, Harold McLean left us to go to the Army and Retta Updike married a former graduate, Charles Richardson. we had a magazine drive in which we competed against the Seniors. we were such poor salesman that the Seniors defeated us. On May 2, we had our first play, WSpooks and Spasmsn with Mrs. Ramsdell as our director and Mrs. Voigt assisting. On May 7,we took the Seniors to the Bluegrass Airport,for our Junior and Senior Banquet. for our class party. That year we went to Mrs. Hicks farm At last we are Seniors. We have had Mrs. Voigt to help us through this last year. Our first party was in honor of our on our campus, in October. Our class high school faculty, a picnic at the Y-teen oven officers are Paul Duffy, President for the third time, Betta Richardson, Vice-president, Ouida Bush, Secretary, and Margaret Summers, treasurer. Our magazine drive did not reach our expectations, for again the other grade came out on top. We sold cokes at the home basketball games to help us build our funds for our trip to Washington D.C. In March we sponsored an Amateur Night,with Arty Kay and Mike Martin helping us entertain. It was very successful, and now we were well on our way to the Nation's Capital. On March 27, we had our senior play, this event, and we Mrs. Voigt and Mr. had dreamed of for places of interest held May 7, in our nIt's A Daten, directed by Mrs. Nell Voigt. We looked forward to worked hard to give a good production. On April 8,the Seniors with A.D. Woodrum boarded the C Q O for Washington. This trip which we several years now unfolded before our eyes. The fun we had and the we saw will never be forgotten. The Junior-Senior VBanquet was gymnasium. The food, favors, and program will be long remembered. And now just two more days remain before we, the Class of 1953, leave the halls of Midway High. We have had four happy years, years full of fun, of work and co-oper- ation to reach our Commencement Night. Many happy memories will rush back to us in the future years,bringing echoes of friends we have made. Before we shut the pages of our history,we wish to express our appreciation to each and all of you who have help- ed us, the class of '53, reach our goal.
