Bennett. He greeted us with a smile and a warm handshake that helped us across the threshold of higher education. This, along with many other traits which complete his likable personality, left us with a lasting impression of admiration for President Mike, cc wt 771 Since the pages of your annual, The Troiad, record for the graduating students of St. Petersburg .lunior College of 1953, a visual record of their fondest memories, I should like to add a note of Well done-CONGRATULATIONS! As you leave the program of public education in the schools of Pinellas County, I hope for you that you have achieved a realization of what we in our schools have made available to you . . . development of each of you as a person, an offering of preparatory education and training that will stand you in good stead as you continue your study or go into vocational activity, and above all, a preparation to live in this valued heritage, America. I ponder this as I see you leave our schools: have you gained an appreciation of the democratic values we have tried to make available to you? Do you value each individual for his own worth? Do you believe that every idea expressed is worthy of consideration? Do you participate in the development of America? Are you concerned for the good of each and every member of the American society in which you live? I sincerely hope that you will be able to answer YES If such be your answer, Pinellas schools are sound, our plan- ning and work with you have been fully repaid, our desire for a continuing glorious future for the American community is assured. Our schools then are serving their place in our community. I extend to you the wish for a most successful future.

C. with quite a bit of self- confidence and pride in being the uupperclassmenf' Soon we found that along with pride goes responsibility, when we were given the task of welcoming the freshmen and helping them adjust to a new way of life at Utopia Tech. After many new friends were made during Rush Week and at the Frosh picnic, we finally settled down to studying, and for once in our lives we hoped that we wouldn't get a grade card at the end of the first six-weeks period! The holidays creeped up on us unexpectedly once again, and we had a long recess in which to enjoy the Messiah, the Mistletoe Ball, and those wonderful Christmas parties. The New Year came in and with it came the beginning of our Trojans' basketball season with its exciting games, pep rallies and bonfires. From January to June our never-to-be-forgotten events came and went too quickly--the Elijah, Spring Prom, Sophomore Picnic, Finals, presentation of our own Troiad, and all the meetings, dances and parties that came in between. Finally, as we walked down the aisle to the dramatic strains of 'Pomp and Circumstancef, we looked around us and filled our memories with the familiar things that we were about to leave-our faithful friends, our understanding teachers, and most of all, our beloved walls of St. Petersburg .lun- ior College.

As the day progressed and many tiring hours of registration came to an end, these boys and girls emerged in the late afternoon as men and women . . . full-fledged freshmen of Junior College. The following months were filled with the exciting experiences of the famous Rush Week,i' teas, smokers in the sub, the freshman picnic given by the sophomores at the beautiful Hillsborough State Park, slumber parties and dances, introducing the stu- dents to the social whirl of college. Of course the main purpose of college was not ignored by these fun-filled social events. Beneath the cheerful laughter was the under- lying thought that securing an education was the prime objective. As the end of the year rolled around, these same students found that they had added much experience and knowledge to their memoirs of life. As they passed from the harrowing but fascinating experiences of the freshman class into the realm of still higher education, they realized that this first year of college had much to do with determining the future course of their lives. They understood fully the words of Alex- ander Pope when he said, Tis Education forms the common mindg Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined.

At this time, the stu- dents honor three girls of their own choice to represent them at the Ball. This year, charming Sylvia Earle Ericson was elected Mistletoe Queen, and serving as her lovely attendants were Kitty Deveny and Gigi Keeney. The excitement of the dance and the strains of familiar melodies were further enhanced by the beauty of the Queen and her court.

Soon after- wards the playmakers presented The Purple Door Knob and Scattered Showers to the lr. College students and many other groups throughout the city. Then came the fabulous and unforgettable Hansel and Gretel which led hundreds of delighted on- lookers into the land of fantasy and enchantment. Between this production and the three act play, Stage-Door, many meetings and parties interceded including the fun-filled Christmas party. The last production of the year was a series of one act student-directed plays which came about through enjoyable cooperation among the members of the cast. The curtain closed, and the devoted playmakers called forth their well-loved Mrs. Buchanan to take a bow for her praiseworthy accomplishments for the year. ,.,,,...,,..

The first few weeks were filled with hectic days in preparation for their part in the rushing program. The new pledges were initiated into the club following a splendid dinner at the home of Miss Vera Dumas, Advisor. Soon afterwards, the girls plunged into the planning of many gala events, among which were the many parties with M.D.'s, cookie sales, and pitch-in suppers. The holiday season was celebrated with the annual Christmas party at the home of Barbara Manuel, Vice President. The annual Alumnae banquet was held shortly afterwards at the Chatterbox. Despite fearful expectations, all managed to pull through final exams in good condition. Arquirians are all proud of the curvewreckers in their club, Joan Fimbel, Ann Shaw, Myrtice Pinkney and Marlene Hanson. In the following weeks, many other events filled the slate of activities. The big event of the year was the Leprechaun Leap, held in March. Green sham- rocks and tiny leprechauns dominated the decorations. Arquiris proudly looks to its fine gals and their many activities. Heading the list is their president, Nancy Winfree, who is very active in many school affairs. Lois Ulsenheimer served as secretary, while Margaret Bangs took care of athletic activities. Other loyal officers of the club were Patsy Graham, Rush Captain, Nancy Mitchell, l.C.C. Representative, and Muriel O'Donnell, Historian. A well-rounded year finally came to an end, leaving many happy memories in the hearts of all Arquirians. ,23,,E5L : K Q :' , if--fwfr s f..-..:::3 , s s .. .. . .,, 4 '5 X 1 se Q ew Q 9 r X.

A slumber party helped Didos and Dodos get better acquainted. Before initiation Marlene Allen was surprised by a birthday party given by the sopho- more members. The secrets and mysteries of the club were disclosed in a formal initiation, at which the new pledges were given corsages indicating the club colors, maroon and silver. At the first meeting the new members were proudly presented their pins and were introduced to Mrs. Longwell, friend and Advisor. An L.H.L.-Dido Mad-Hatter party began the year's events. Everyone was required to wear a hat and many weird con- coctions were seen. The Christmas spirit was shown when Didos collected toys, clothes and food for a needy family. The alumnae were honored with a tea at the home of Vice President Bette Thompson. Rugs were rolled back and food was plenty at the first party of 1953, which was held at the home of Barbara Worley. February 6 was the date for the Dido dance, Serenade in Blue. After much hard work and rehearsing, the big night arrived and a great time was had by all. Another no-doze party was held in March after the Arquiris dance. As the days grew warmer, Dido, H.C.C., Pyramids and Sigmas threw a beach party at Treasure Island. Then there was the annual farewell party given for the graduating Sophomores. Didos are very proud of the enthusiasm and school spirit shown by each member. Four cheerleaders represent the club, they are Bette Thompson, Elsie Kotschedoff, JoAnn Mays and ,lnet Adcock. Ann Franklin, Kitty DeVeny and Vaughne Berry were outstanding in the music department. Eleanor Weber was Secretary of the Sophomore Class. Marlene Allen, rush captain, was our hard-working annual editor. Kitty DeVeny received the honor of Jane College and Vaughne Berry was voted most talented.

TL' The Happy College Crew began its 1952-53 voyage with a bang-up dance, the Cat's Meown in November. With the first storm over, it looked like smooth sailing for this crew of twenty-five. Parties with other clubs and slumber parties rounded out the long list of activities. The old Crewmasters fAlumnil had a buffet dinner for the members to get acquainted with one another. Thanksgiving was celebrated with a big party, open to everyone. December soon rolled around and the Christmas scene was set at the home of Barbara Renick for the holiday party, at which laughs and gifts were exchanged. A donation was made to a needy family as a Christmas project. At the beginning of second semester, two of the crew left: Mary Lou Compton to get married, and Norma Dietrich to join the Waves. Grades came out soon afterwards and everyone beamed with pride at the seven H.C.C.'ers who made better than a Bn average. Initiated into Phi Theta Kappa were Meredith Daw- son, Barbara Renick and June Rice. Between semesters, members and dates took a trip to Hillsborough for a wonderful picnic. H.C.C. was represented about school in the following ways: Meredith Dawson, Miss Curvewrecker and Spanish Club President, Barbara Boggess, Frosh Class Secretary and President of Playmakersg June Rice, F.T.A. President, Mare,' Schell, Most Humorous and Newman Club Secretary, Virginia Early, Art Club President, Fey 'lendleman, Asslt Editor of the Wooden Horse, and Pat Muse, a Co-Ed. Next, the play, Stage Door became the foremost interest of the eleven H.C.C.ers who took part in it. Barbara Boggess delighted everyone in her leading role. After the second semester initiation, an Alumni dinner was held at the Sub. The final project for the year was the donation of the much-needed dishes to the Sub. A year of friendships, projects, parties and dances ended, but the Happy College Crew will go sailing on toward another successful year. i' is 45,12 'E OFFICERS 3 PAT DUNCAN 7,,,,,77,,,,7v,,7,,,,,, JUDY PULVER ,.,,.,,A,,,,,,,7,,,,,, W First row: Marilyn Staton, Sally McCracken, Ilse Wilms.

The L.H.L. initiation took place at the home of sponsor. Miss Porter, along with a delicious supper and a party. More parties followed, including the covered dish supper and a party with Didos. The Christmas season was welcomed with a tree trimming at Dede,s,' house. Next came the Mistletoe Ball where Ge Ge was chosen attendant to the queen. High- lighting the Christmas season however, was L.H.S.'s annual dance, The Snow Ball. They gaily welcomed 1953, complete with hats, confetti, Father Time, and Baby New Year. Second semester saw L.H.L. with a new treasurer, Ce Ge Keeney, since Judy Pulver, the previous treasurer, left the halls of Utopia Tech. Between semesters, the girls made it a point to live it up with a beach party, and later a joint L.H.L.-Sigma party. A note of harmony was struck as Jane, Pat and the crowd brought forth those good ole, songs. Another never-to-be-forgotten event was the gambling party with Pyramid's at Leslie McIntyre's home-poker chips really flew ! !

Club first came into existence and was one of the leading clubs until 1950, when it disbanded. It was, for the first time, non-existent, until this year when Mike Bartecki, Charlie Neill and Bob Brzozowski joined forces to get the club going again. Even though grades eliminated over half of the pledges, the men managed to keep going, planning parties, entering into many activities. At Christmas the club joined with Arquiris to give a basket of food to a needy family. Advent of the second semester brought in many new pledges. Highpoint of the activi- ties for the year was the dance Manhattan Serenadef, given in April at Pasadena Country Club. President Mike Bartecki is also chairman of I. C. C. and entertainment chairman of The Social Affairs Committee. News of the college was reported weekly in The St. Petersburg Times by Bob Brzozowski, Secretary Charles Neill is associated with the City Recreation Department. ilue to the small membership, accomplishments in sports were slight, but M. D.'s did znanage to field five men for basketball games. The members are proud of the job they have done, and are grateful to their helpful Advisor, Mr. Smith. diem Q arf' GENE WAGNER I. C. C.

They immediately began to prove that they deserved that good reputation, and as soon as the six-weeks grades came out the pledges flocked in. Most of the men made 'the required Cn average, and with the old members, dues paid, the club really began to roll. The formal initiation was held at the home of Mr. Noel, Pyramid's Advisor, and was followed by a rather informal initiation at the Jaycee Beach Club. Fun, huh fellas? Pyramids first major project was the annual Christmas card sale. As usual, the cards made a big hit and the Pyra- mids really cleaned up. Then came the yearly event that everyone looks forward to, the Pyramids, annual Dixieland Jubilee. As expected, the dance was a roaring success, and one of the highlights of the year. Pyramids were still keeping their good name in the field of sports. The football team, with ,l ack Valley as captain, swept the school clean, coming out in first place. Basketball was next on the list of sports with the Pyramids proving their traditional athletic ability by coming out near the top. Two outstanding Pyramids of the year were Ken LeDuc who was voted J oe College, and Joe McDermott receiving the votes for Most Humorous and Mr. Trojan. ln March the Pyramids and dates were feted with a wonderful spaghetti dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. Noel at the Sub. The Pyramids, school project came to life after much heated discussion. The com- bination table-benches by the lake make a swell lunchtime hangout, and the names of the clubs on the tops make good publicity. This, along with certain incidental and unmentionable parties just about rounds the ,52-,53 year for the Pyramids, with a forward look to an even more fabulous year in '53-754.

Curt Greely, official ucameramanv for the Troiadg Ernie Agnew, President of Clef Club, and Bill King, diligent staff member of The Wooden Horsef, were seen hurrying around the halls. Now another year is over and the Sophomores bid farewell to Utopia Tech.

Losing only two games during the season, the Trojan Cagers copped the Championship. ln Inter-Collegiate play the hoopsters came up against a few better teams and the result was a three won and seven lost record. Prospects for next year are very bright, with only four Trojans graduating and the remainder of the team composed of Freshmen.

CITY LEAGUE SCHEDUL 7711. 7707149 Oautaaddvy thzfzanwml fftllete 2 Q ?f 5. 1, S Y 2 2 JOE MCDERMOTI' This year the 1953 Troiad presents the first appearance of a completely new feature, MR. TROJAN, the outstanding athlete in intramural sports. Selected this year by the Men's Athletic Council was Joe McDermott. Joe was a member of the victorious Pyramid football team, and due to his outstand- ing ability was selected to be a member of the Intramural Football All-Stars. To achieve the honor of being selected MR. TROJAN, Joe could not rely completely on his football prowess, so he went on to become the spark-plug of the Pyramid cage team. Sportsmanship, all-round team play, and a willingness to win add up to Joe McDermott, MR. TROJAN of Utopia Tech, 1953. Give a good substantial yell! was the byword this year which was adhered to by our enthusiastic and energetic pep squad. Led by Mary Helen Schell, the cheerleaders not only supplied the moral support for our Trojan Team, but they arranged for numerous pep rallies, motorcades and after game dances. Of course, Tom Newman was always there to lend a helping hand and help them live it up. An appreciative and nsubstantialv cheer to you--our Trojan Cheerleaders.

First they competed successfully with teams from this county, in volleyball games. Then the basketball season began and to the pride and delight of all, they won the City Championship, qualifying them for the State Tournament.
