lt seems that only a brief time has elapsed since I reminded a class of eighth grade pupils that they would be the first class to graduate from the new high school after its completion. The class of 1953, I am sure, is as thrilled to be that first class as we are to participate with you in this important event. l regret that you have not had the opportunity, as future classes will have, of enjoying the build- ing and its many advantages during your entire high school careers. I know that'being the first graduating class has at least shown you the. advantages and privileges that future classes will enioy. To you, the members of the class of 1953, I offer my congratulations upon the successful completion of your high school careers. Congratulations to they class of I953, the first class to graduate from the new Junior-Senior High School Building. The various events that fill your days seem now to be ihdelibly printed in your memories, but after a few years to come, you can leaf through the pages of The Keystoner and remember these long past hours, the trials and problems of centralization, the moving into a new building, the chang- ing to a continuous school day, everyone riding to school by bus, eating in a cafeteria, and the adjustments that you made so well at the time. May the class of 1953 march forward into the future and face changes as successfully as they have faced them this past year.
