REWARD 1. To our faculty, we hereby will and bequeath all the amazing knowledge and start- ling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We know that much we have impart- ed to them in this way must have been entirely new to them, as well as to all the teachers and students everywhere. If the faculty see fit, they are hereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive. This, of course, is left entirely to their personal discretion. REWAHD 2. To the Junior class, we give and be- queath all such boys as were not able to keep pace with such brilliant girls as compose the majority of our class, trusting that the junior girls may be able to hold firmly to them and steer them, next year, through the gates of Commencement. REWARD 3. To the Sophomore class, we will and bequeath any stubs of pencils, erasers, or scraps of paper that we may inadvertently leave behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last time. May they feel free to use them, and sense, perhaps, that they may, in some mystic way, gather some of our great knowledge from them. ltizwanu 4. To the Freshman class, we will and bequeath any overlooked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to the underside of desks, bauisters, assembly seats or any likely or unlikely places. VVe have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to pick and chose the most desirable means of disposal. REWAHD 5. To the following, we make single bequests : 1. To Theresa Jordan, we will a new Olds- mobile so that she can make frequent trips to the Islands instead of meeting johnny at the dance. 2. To Janet Fienemann, we leave Shirley Breault's ability to charm the boys. Be careful, Janet, don't ever make a date with two fellows for the same night. 3. To Thelma Blow, we will a few shares in the toupee factory so that when the band plays, she will have a suitable hairdo with which to wear her band hat. 4. To Hazel Vantine,-since Leo is leaving this year, we will her the right to go out with Bernard Smith in the future. 5. To Sally Jackson, we will Shirley and j0yce's ability to giggle and cut up in study hall and classes. 6. To Cynthia Martell, we leave a large sol- dier doll to keep her company until Tom- my comes home. 7. To Agnes Dunakin, we will Betty Bush- ey's ability to direct the cheerleaders. Let's hope she has some co-operative fol- lowers next year. 8. To Lois Holcombe, we, the Senior class, leave all of our text books so that she will be kept busy getting good marks like this year's Senior class.

Blue and Gold President 3 Address 6cTHE TRAILS9' Classmates, we find ourselves here on this mountain peak of our lives, The Skyline Drive. In our dreams and in reality we are up in the sky because being a senior is sublime, something not of this earth. From this exalted place, we can look down on the years of the past, our former years in high school. Truly we are among the rosy tinted clouds of our dreams. A high school education has elevated us. Actually we have climbed many feet above the level of the unlearned and untrained. We have grown, relatively, in stature and wisdom. In our climbing, we have breathed the fresh air of new truths and doctrines and principles, con- stituting a better way of living. We have elevated our minds-minds that can distinguish between the rights and wrongs in our national and social situations. And here we have a World View. From this point, we have a panoramic view of opportunities and adventures waiting, spread out like an open map before us, challenging us to seek and find and possess. It's a wonderful view, the world at our feet! As seniors we feeluthat we can achieve and accomplish almost any- thing. And perhaps we can. The picture before us is heroically and boldly etched to attract us. We like this world view. It is inspiring. And then, classmates,'tlJ1ere are trails. Yes, we have reached this high elevation, and we have this inspiring view of the world from the Skyline Drive, but we cannot linger here contentedly, merely satisfying ourselves with what has been and with what is. We must go forward with our elevation and our view. We must use our training and our knowledge. Do you see what I see? Look down yonder. Trails-trails, many of them, twenty. Twenty trails winding about all through the valleys and over the hills below us, going in all directions. These trails wind their ways into all the professions and trades and occupations known to man. Each of you must take one of these trails. Each has a different destination and a different goal at the end. One trail is yours -your pilgrimage, your endeavor to live a good and useful life in this world down below our Skyline Drive. May you each find happiness as you make your way down your own long, long trail. And now, in closing, I would like to extend the sincerest thanks of the Class of 1953 to parents, teachers and friends, who have helped us through these past four years of high school. Without you the climb to our Skyline Drive would have been even rougher. JUDITH IDAVIS
