Dt-ar Iuniors. To von graduation is but a milestone in the future. Our class once fostered the same sentiments, but now, as graduation nears, our thoughts vsuunler from glorified dreams ol success to favorite memories of past days. On a sunny September morning in 195351, Bliss lrene llobey started seventeen bright-eyed boys and girls of the present Senior Class on their journev through the twelxe grades-llouny Bland, Pat Bray, joe Etter, Barbara Degener, john Guion. Sandra Long, Dick Kaufman. jane Kennedy, Dave Ledbetter, Pauline Parke. Hay Stewart, Doris XVhite. Dick Boles, Nlarilyn Smith, Dave 'l'honms, Dick Mason. and Kenneth Vincent. Through- out grade school, experiences were those of average growing children: however in junior high, the niitl- eentury grads prepared themselves for the new ad- ventures of high school with Pauline Parke and Ray Stewart as our junior high presidents and Nlr. Lincoln Northeott and Mrs. Hersehel Atkinson, sponsors. .M last. those wonderful days arrived! Wt were finally big rod freslnnen, loving every minute of high school right from the start-even initiation. XVe elected Bob Coughlin. president, and Nliss Agnes Spencer. sponsor. Our special activity of the year was the llilgriin l'rom, school dance. To complete our under- elassinen days. Ray Stewart and Nliss Thelma Stout were chosen to superxise all uudertaliings. such as our Leap Year Leap dance. During our first two years of high school, Ronny bland. always an obliging host. invited us to hold four wonderful class parties in his home. ere We Tell 01 Row 1: Marilyn Sinith-secretary, Bob Coughlin-vice president, Hay Stewart-president. Row 2: Nlr. Trosky-sponsor. David Tlnoinas-treasurer. Senior Slogan We are interested in the future because we expect to spend all our time theref' Uur History To start us on the right road forty-one upperclassmen should take, we elected Ray Stewart, president, and Mr. Floyd Troth, sponsor. Time sped on, our successful play, Spring Feverf, and prom, Star Dust, had whirled by, and we were right in the midst of reception plans when the beautiful new building was ready and eager for its first students. Then all at once-it happenedl NVe were Seniors, the oldest class in school. It was wonderful to be back in the new buildingg nevertheless it took us several weeks to realize this year was to be a different and exciting experience. lt made us feel ve1'y important to be admired by younger students, but, oh, did we feel blue when the realization came that this was our last yearl To make our year complete, we elected Mr. Louis Trosky. sponsor, and Ray Stewart, a fourth tenn presi- dent. YVe have enjoyed a class party, the junior-Senior Reception, our Senior Prom, and play, Love Is Too Much Troublef, Now forty-two Seniors will be the thirteenth class to graduate from Speedway High. A portion of our thirst for education having been quenched, our dreams are to go out into the world, equipped by the knowledge we have received here. to be better men and women. The goals we wish for you are many. but why not malte your objective the same as ours-to be the compe- tent leaders needed for a peaceful world. Phyllis Brown Class Historian
