UHBGSUHY. .PHTII CLASS OF '53 COMPLETES COURSE The thought of moving into the new school afforded us a thrill almost as great as the prospects of becoming Seniors. When both dreams were realized simultaneously, we were really floating in the clouds. To be the first class to be graduated from the new high school held a certain fascination for us. This privilege seemed to compensate fully for the years when we were, in our own minds, treated like the stepchildren of the district. We are the group for whom there was no room in the old Geistown School, and the first to be affected by the crowded conditions. instead of our continuing at Geistown as many of us would normally have done, we were whisked off by bus each day to rooms provided for us in other districts. During these unsettled years Richland influence pene- trated the atmosphere at Maple Park, Lorain Borough and Southmont. A feeling of normalcy repossessed us as we returned to Geistown in the seventh grade. Rumors of a new school floated about, but the future was so distant then. p P lo it K Ib L wassanget DID ALL THAT REALLY HAPPEN?
