Small the diploma . . . GREAT THE EFFORT How times flies! Is it possible that four years have come and gone and that suddently the seniors are faced with the reality of graduation! Upon entering South Union in the fall of 1949 the four years looming ahead seemed of vast length. However, days filled with busy sched- ules, social events, athletic contests, club activi- ties, interesting friendships, and finally com- mencement reduced this period to a point where it was felt that it had passed all too quickly. It was trying at times, in fact, there were times when some of us felt like calling it a day. There were those who did quit and then there was the majority that continued to plug along. It is this group that licked one of the first major obstacles on the road of life-gain- ing their high school diploma. And now . . . four years of high school days are finished. Some give a sigh of relief. To others it leaves memories, most of them pleas- ant. But looking back just four years ago when they timidly entered the portals of South Union High School, memories of the class of 1953 find their record stacked with individual accomplish- ments and achievements that stretch almost uninterruptedly from that first day in high school in the fall of 1949 to Commencement. Our hard working senior jingle writers. As freshies, after a few weeks of roaming, we got started off on our right foot by electing our class officers, under the supervision of Mr. Hamilton, our sonpsor. We remember, perhaps vaguely, our first social affairs, and we wit- nessed the coronation of the Blue Devil. Everyone felt great the following August to be enrolled as a super sophomore. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Loncaric, who worked wtih our officers, we had a grand year. That year we enjoyed the annual Christmas dance, a won- derful play, and also ordered our school rings which arrived when we were jolly juniors. As juniors, under the guidance of Mr. J. D. Longanecker, our class, with its talent ability, pep, and energy was a power in school. And bright new S.U.H.S. rings were on our fingers. Leaving the guidance of Mr. Longanecker, we came under the direction of Mr. Cupelli, senior class sponsor. Things happened so fast that it was like a whirl-wind. We have a lot to remember about our senior year. We remember our football team, our magazine campaign, senior pictures, our basketball team, the fun we had putting on our senior play, the dances and parties, and, finally . . . with a lump in our throats, Baccalaureate and the realization of our goal-Commencement. Our football heroes.
