Foreword Here it is---your yearbook of 1953 ----your lasting record of one of those most important years of your life. Those years of fun, studies, tears of disappointment. No, we didn’t win that football charppionship, our basketball games didn’t always wind up in the win column, but DO YOU REMEMBER how proud of the boys we were because they fought so hard? DO YOU REMEMBER how we worked on our own festive occasion, the Junior Carnival-Seemed like a headache then. DO YOU REMEMBER the Prom-----that new dress, the corsage, how excited we were, the twinkling lights, and the music that seemed to make us tingle? DO YOU REMEMBER our Graduation?--------You never pay respect to it until it is yours. There must have been something throughout those high school years we didn’t like---but now, we can’t seem to remember---------------- 4 Poplar Bluff High School Poplar Bluff, Missouri .... .......... 1953 .....
