For some of us it marks the end of our high school careers, while for others, it is only the beginning. Each of us has his own special memories of high school days to cherish through the years and we, the annual staff, hope this HILLTOP will serve to keep these memories vivid enough that it will seem they happened only yesterday. With COMMUNICATIONS as our theme, we present to you the different organizations, activities, and social functions which have taken place here at PHS. We are ever mindful of the many hours spent in study, work, and research and how can we easily forget the worry which plagued us through- out these tough times. Looking back, we find our accomplishments have been met with approval and now we are eagerly looking toward new horizons. Through the same degree of effort the staff has diligently strived to perfect a true picture of school life on the hill, 1952-53. May this HILLTOP help you to 'communicate' with past memories in years to come.

Every American child is given the opportunity to grow lntellectually and splrltually ln order that he will become a good citizen. He in turn will then perpetuate the ever- lasting cycle ot education.

We consider it a special privilege to extend our elncere and deep appreciation to Mr. Don Ellis, Mr. Burt Waring, Jr., and Mr. Marshall Shorter, Jr., for the interest they have shown and for the tull co-operation they have given our school.

The Korean conflict has remained a serious threat. We've watched the peace talks with hope, only to see them fail time after time. Reports of casualties still pour ing the truce talks have been discontinued and the stalemate remains the same, which emphasizes the necessity for a continued build-up of strength in a chaotic and confused world. On the national scene, this was election year, the American people were to choose their leader for the next four years. Two able candidates, Adlai Stevenson and Dwight D. Eisenhower headed the Democrat and Republican tickets respec- tively. The American people, sensing the need for a change, elected Dwight D. Eisenhower, the first Republican to occupy the Whitehouse in twenty years, thus ending another era in American history. The death of Premier Joseph Stalin was an unexpected incident which further heightened the feeling of insecurity among peaceloving citizens througlwui U19 world. Georgi Malenkov became successor to Stalin. resulting in an apparent shake- down among communist leaders. The year 1953 has been designated as coronation year in England, with Queen Elizabeth becoming the reigning monarch. Although the Dowager Queen Mary pass- ed away unexpectedly, the coronatiou will be an event of the month of June as originally planned. Turning back to the national scene, items which have received a great deal of comment throughout the past school year we-re as follows: The widespread flu epidemic: new atomic explosions, the thirty-fourth having taken place in mid-March: and several air clashes between communist and American aircraft over supposedly neutral zones. Thus, a school year passes, others will come and go. News will be repeated. and each will have its distinguished incidents. These outstanding events will al- ways be associated in our minds with '52 and '53 at Pleasanton High School.

Shirley Waller wills her ability behind a steering wheel to Sue Rittinghouse so she will be as- sured of passing the test for a drivers license. Marvin Wortman relinquishes his trumpet to the proverbial Gabriel, so We can rest when he has study halls and can't find anything else to do for his OWU entertainment, Maryanna Wuttke wills her accelerated efforts and racing motor to Joyce Wyant. WE, the SENIOR CLASS of 1953 leave to: Mr. Forsyth, the papers and grades from the test that he gave us in American History while Mr. Seal was away.

Interest in the sport was very high and the team was steamed up ready for action. Their courage was dis- played when in the first game of the season they met a strong Arcadia team. Unfortunately we were unable to make a flnal plunge to victory and the game was lost by one touchdown. The Blu-Jays did pull through with a win over Parker 19 to 13 and Uniontown 25 to 0 and then the closely played games against Bronson, La Cygne, and Louisburg. So ended another season for P. H, S. and the following Seniors: Harold Parker, Dee Bradley, Bill Helen and David Staton. J34vub0 g'f 5lf '7711.A444mJ 64.66-err!! 9464410 ,Qwwb Jbvbvvf ZQZPJZEM 51? 2 FIRST ROW tleft to rlghtl: O.

Helen, R. Coburn, D. Staton, C. Fyock. Coach Don Stegge and his Blu-Jays established a very impressive record for this season. After losing the first game to Mound City in an overtime, 54 to 53, the boys really got down to busi- ness and swept aside with decisive victories every thing that came along. The Linn County League Championship was won with nine wins and one loss. The Llnn Coun- ty Tournament was won with an easy defeat over Prescott in the finals. Next was the District Tour- nament at Greeley with a first place win over Richmond in the finals. But the hoo-doo was just around the corner when in our first game in the Regional Tournament we lost to Baldwin 49 - 47. The squad will lose, through graduation this year, three seniors, Harold Parker, Dee Bradley, and Ronnie Hoover. However, with the material from this years B team, which also had a very impressive record of not loosing a game in the county, next year's team will be out to uphold the record and precedent set by this year's team.
