CLASS HISTORY Class of ' 53 Settling liiick in iiiv ■al. I li ' lt iiiir (Iviiin saucer dip loward the iirniind. As I looked to see whom Peggy Myers, niv pilot, was saluting this time, I saw two of our class- mates — El Nadal and Barbara Norris. They were en route to Canterhurv. This brought u]) the sid)ject of old school davs as Peggy said, I remeniljer the fust time I saw El; it was at the hall party that first night. The whole day had been filled with register- ing, buying books, unpacking, and meeting everyone. But that night we began to feel our honiesiikness and the fellowship of the party surely did help. ' T remeiuber. I answered, and the next day when the old girls came, we got to know them at the P. S. C. A. campus party. We selected Miss Golden as our Class Sponsor, and Raye King as our President. The biggest event of those first months to me, said Peggy, was Piiish Week. It was the one incident to make us feel important: and after weeks of debating over which society to join, we fniallv jiledged. And then. Rat Day — the longest day of the year! ' aking up at dawn, our day had been a mixture of crawling i|) ste])s. counting the holes in the tennis net, wash- ing clothes, making beds, and being the lowest type of slave.

We went all out — from wiener roasts on the back campus to dances on Saturday nights. Yes. it was loads of fun. The whole year seemed so amazing to us. We didn ' t know what Peace would pull out of its pocket next. Al Thanksgiving, the P. S. C. A. gave baskets of food to a beloved part of our Peace family, the faithful maids on llie hall an l in the laundry, and Irene and Maliel, who brought us those longed-for telephone calls. We felt more grateful as we ale oui delicious dirmer on Thanks- giving eveniim. Pe- ropped as she said. Our first college exams followed! But thi-y passed quickly. Peggy, and we soon began singing. Two more weeks till vacation! Many of us had the privi- lege of being in the traditional Christmas Pageant and others participated in the Christmas Cantata. At Christmas Dinner that night we ate. sang, and looked forward to two weeks at home. ' Didn t the rest of the year fly? Spring Holidays ran right into our Junior-Senior, which we felt was a great success. The warmer weather brought May Dav. It was about this time. Peggy, we elected you as president of our Student Body and 29
