SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We the Seniors of the Class of Nineteen hundred fifty three will in the future, recall the memories of our past years in Monongah High School. Some will shine more brightly than others but all will help to brighten our future. Four years ego on September 7, 1949 lO8 students entered Monongah High. We tried not to show our excitement and fear on that day but in a sense we were happy because we had r reached the goal for which we had been striving for eight years. Our Freshman year started off with the election of officers and our class adviser, Mr. Ross. Then on October 27, 1949 the dreaded but rather anticipated Initiation Day came. Every Freshman and our four new teachers had to dress in costumes ranging from infancy to six years of age. We all did our part and were considered good sports and now and accepted class of Monongah High School. Besides Initiation we also did our share in the activities of the school. On November 16, 1949, we had a swimming party at Fairmont State College Swimming Pool. Seventy two Fresh- men attended. On January 13, 1950 we had a class party that was greatly enjoyed. September 6, 1950 we were Sophomores and WS felt that we were a more important part of the school. That year we elected Miss Timmins as our adviser and again we went on a Swimming party. Everyone enjoyed the party and we were looking forward with great enthusiam to our Junior Year. September 6, 1950 our Junior year arrived and this year Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Snoderly were appointed as our class advisers. We had many things to look forward to. This was to be the year of our first Prom at which we would be hosts to the Seniors. We would receive our class rings. Our first big event was the Junior play, NA Month of Tuesdaysn. The cast was well selected and with Mrs. Snoderly as director and Mrs. Shaw as Business Manager and all the Juniors working, our play was a success. Finally the long awaited Junior-Senior Prom came. 'As our theme we chose Wstarlightu and Jimmy Morgan's Orchestra nleyed for this gala occasion. A few days later we received our Class Rings which added much to our Junior year, a very exciting and memorable year. September 3, 1952 Seniors at last!! This year we will truly remember because for some of us it will be the lest year to remind us of our school days. One of our first exciting days was the sitting for individual pictures taken by the Ideal Studio. We dressed in our most fetching picture-taking outfit. This year we enjoyed many activities which included pa parties, the Senior Play, NBehind the 8 Balln, the Junior-Senior Prom which the Juniors gave in our honor. we extend our appreciation to the Juniors who made the Prom a memorable one. We truly appreciate the work that is required for such a affair. The annual Sermon and Commencement climaxed our Senior year. Now we are ready to make our exit from Monongah High School. We will miss everything that has taken place in the four years but we must take our place on the road of life. We Seniors of 1953 wish to give sincere thanks to Mr. Michael and the faculty who guided us along the way for without their help our future might not be so bright and we would not have reached the goal for which we had been working. As we leave Monongah High School we also wish the best of luck to the future classes of Monongah High School.
