After doing a little traveling I find everyone raving about the Senior Class of ’54, saying that it is the most commend¬ able, intelligent and athletic class ever to enter the doors of Ninth Avenue. I am sure our class will be one to go down in history as the class above all classes. This is a little information about us. We are among the youngest Seniors ever to graduate from this school. Speaking of shapes and sizes, it has been said that this class possesses some of all kind, such as pencils—Nina Smith and Willie King; softballs—Ethel Russell and Bobby Russell—it runs in the family—Pepsi Cola—Ruth Peak and Alvin Gash. The reason this class is so healthy, they eat everything from Sugar Corn Pops to Baked Turkey. If you ever see a Senior on Ninth Avenue’s campus, you could be sure that he wouldn’t be alone. They are always paired off. In the future, members of our class will be housewives, teachers, stenographers, doctors, X-ray technicians, dental hygienist, beauticians, librarians, surgeons, jet pilots, home economics teachers, photographers, physical education instructors, nurses, commercial lawyers, pro football players, artists and service men. Three- fourths of our clalss plan to attend college or business school and Ralph Harris plans to attend Eighth Avenue. The schools of our choice are Fisk, New York School of Photography, Howard, San Diego State College, Notre Dame, U.C.L.A., Bennett, Winston-Salem, Barbara Scotia and N. C. State. So far Eunice Owens is the only student of our class who hasn’t missed a day of high school. Perhaps there was no room for her at home in the daytime. All of the Seniors have the distinction of being the best chewing gum poppers in the school but Martha Hunter is the “Queen Gum Fopper.” Revlon lipstick is tops with the girls and boys of our class except Thomas Mills, who says he never touches the stuff. Robert Cauley has been noted as the “class lover boy” and the Senior class girls as “the school lover girls.”
