FOREWORD Due to the fact thattimes differ and the many pic- tures of life change, we, the staff of the 1953 York Chronicle have chosen for our theme, changes that have taken place in our lives and school since the day the senior class of '53 was born. We hope that the changes brought about in the pastwill be magnified inthe future, and a higher goal achieved. 2I'i'l0I'l6ll'l'l The Semor Class of 53 deducofes thus page ofthe YORK CHRONICLE to the memory of our fellow class more Bob Smufh who was kllled In cln clufomoblle clc cldenf on January 2l l950 3 7 , V- 'if Cliff .
