For the first time in Ninth Avenue High School the Senior class of ’53 decided to use mascots in their graduation exer¬ cises. We were indeed fortunate in securing the following per¬ sons for the task: Little Miss Marion Davis (“MeMe”) age five, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Davis, Henderson¬ ville, N.C., and Master William Robinson III, (“Bus Jr.’’) age six, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Robinson II, of Hen¬ dersonville, North Carol ina.

Having used their abilities most wisely and thus having shown greater growth from a social and an academic point of view, Vastie Ward, Eleanor Warren, and Joseph Young have been selected as honor students of the class of ’53. Miss Ward, having received a high average of 97 in her studies, has received awards in Citizenship, Mathematics and English. Her ambition is to become a language instructor. Miss Warren, too, has achieved an average of 97 and has received an award in Mathematics. She plans to take up elementary education after she finishes school. Mr. Young, too, who has attained an average of 93, plans to attend college. Since chemistry is his favorite subject, he is going to make this his career. Page Fourteen

On May 16, 1952, The Senior Class and their escorts were guest at the an¬ nual Junior-Senior Prom, sponsored by the Juniors. This group danced to the music of Bob Gash’s Band. “Harbor Lights” was the Juniors most inspiring theme. The planning was unique, and many pleasant compliments were made on the elaborate decoration. The color scheme was blue and white with the class flowers being represented by a white carnation. This was indeed the largest event of the season, and it went down in the school’s history as being one of the best. The program included: Welcome Address-Ora Robinson; Response, (Senior ' ' 52 Arzulia Green; Solo, “Harbor Lights” Shirley Clay. Page Sixteen
