THIS l’10X121211 Message To The Students The early “Pioneers of America were ordinary people much like we are today. Today we have pioneers of various kinds--men and women who homestead newly acquired irrigated lands in the West, men and women who pioneer in new fields of knowledge, those who pioneer in easing human suffering and want, and today those who are pioneering in the potentialities of the new Atomic Bomb. There is no doubt that we are pioneers of a new age “The Atomic Age. So, as a salute to the New Age of Power — The Atomic Age--we name our year book of 1953 2 THE PIONEER 3 Dedication In appreciation for her tireless efforts and co-operation in supervising our annual, we. the Senior Class of 1953 take great pleasure in dedicating this edition of The Pioneer to Mrs. Evalee Davisson. Her understanding and endless work have been an inspiration to the entire annual staff. We trust that this dedication will convey, in part, our appreciation for her patience, her kindness, and her personal interest in each of us.

We have always moaned about our lessons When there was homework for us to d But we know we’ll surely miss it After May 12 is through. Our parties, good times, and laughter Will be lost from us, it seems We will be awakened to a new world Without our mystic dreams. Everyone will choose his life And soon we shall drift apart, But the glorious days of high-school Will live forever in our hearts. Then we will not be Seniors, Instead go on our merry way. Just the same we shall remember High school and Graduation Day.

At this time the school was Pedro and the class officers were: President, Lawrence Fields; Vice-President, Bob Bare; Secretary, Thelma Johnson: Treasurer, Marta Nance: and News Reporter, LaVerne McClellan. The officers at Hanging Rock were: President, _ Ossie Martin; Vice-President, Phyllis Butler; Secretary and lreasurer, Chester Wilson; and News Reporter, Avanelle Gilmore. At Kitts Hill the officers were: President, Jeannine Heaberlin; Vice-President, Homer Walls: Secretary, Gail Christian; Treasurer, Dorthy Clement; and News Reporter, Pauline Walker. As we entered the second year, we again chose class officers. From Pedro they were: President, Carl Wooten; Vice-President, Teddy Bamer; Secretary, Ruth Nelson; Treasurer, Charles Nance; and News Reporter, Carrie Nelson. The officers at Hanging Rock were: President, Jim Colvin: Vice-President, Ossie Martin: Secretary, Chester Wilson; Treasurer, Bob Zornes; and News Reporter, Reece Horton. The officers at Kitts Hill were: President, Donnie Jenkins: Vice-President, Herschel Pierce; Secretary, Jeannine Heaberlin: Treasurer, Lawrence Fields: and News Reporter, Jess Wilson. We will now journey back to our Junior year. During this year Hanging Rock and Kitts Hill began their studies at Pedro which then became Rock Hill as we know it now. We welcomed many new students into our class. The class officers chosen were: President, Bob Zornes: Vice-President, Don Jenkins; Secretary, Ruth Valentine; Treasurer, Ossie Martin; and News Reporter, Jim Colvin. This was a very important year as we received our class rings. We now recall the Junior Class Play, •‘The Boarding House Reach,” and even more important was the Junior-Senior Prom. The trip to Washington D. C. was another interesting experience this year. Now the Senior year comes into view and the class officers are: President, Don Jenkins: Vice-President, Ronald Porter; Secretary, Ruth Valentine: Treasurer, Charles Brown; and News Reporter, LaVerne McClellan. As graduation approaches in May we realize how rewarding our four years have been and it is with hope that we face the future believing that our education is just beginning. Senior Baby Days I. D.
