VOYAGE OF THE SENIOR CLASS The present Senior Class, the famous three, started on its long journey to the twelfth grade with Joyce Miller's entering The Tatnall School in a class of five in tenth grade. She was joined in February by Louise MacCreary, commuting from Newark. The class of seven shrank to a class of two, when the other five left for boarding school. After a fine farewell to 1500 , Joyce and Louise were joined at Sedgely by Cynthia Oswald in September '52 to make the third member of the triumvirate. Louise, with her charming smile, has contributed greatly to opening exercises by playing the piano, while Cynthia divides her time between being an outstanding athlete and the school's champion sock knitter . Joyce has delved into Robert's Ruler of Order , as an extra-curricular activity, for student government meetings, and in odd moments has been trying to plan added social events for the school. We are a quiet three, but we have tried to do our jobs as well as we can without scaling the heights of spectacular achievements. WHITHER AWAY? Whither away and where indeed Will the barque of the class of '54 lead? Shall we take a glimpse in the years far away And find our friends in their work and play? Her sparkling smile and merry eyes Betray Louise, the Navy's prize. As Waves commander, her uniform smart Gives her distinction and sets her apart. In Washington she was glad to greet A friend whom she met on a busy street. Who is she? Ah, yes. At last we see The head of the Woman's Auxiliary. Of the Delaware diocese, our own Joyce, Who was easily the State's first choice. She had left for a bit her family To come to Convention in D. C. Together they walked in Convention Hall, And there in the doorway, stately and tall, Stood Cynthia, wife of a prominent man Just appointed ambassador to Japan. Her parties in Washington won her fame, But she hoped in the future to do the same. Do come for dinner tonight, said she. And there we shall leave them, the happy three.

VALEDICTORY The day of graduation has come. Though we are leaving, never to return as students, the thought of Tatnall and what it has offered us will never leave our hearts. We have come to love each member of the whole Tatnall family. The guidance and challenge offered us by our teachers and the companionship of our fellow Tatnallites has grown increasingly precious to us. The interest and cooperation of each person in any special event, from our principal, Mrs. Myers, to each faculty member, to the business staff and custodians, has been a wonderful example and an inspiration to each of us, and the ever-present spirit and charm of Mrs. Tatnall, pervading all of this, has created a treasure chest of memories and ideals from which we, the Class of '54, shall never cease to draw. Although we are small in number we shall recall Tatnall with as much love as any other graduating class, past or future. Joyce Miller
