But to those who step ahead to take our place, these memories will again be transformed into the highlights of UTHS's social events — homecoming, the senior ball, graduation. Together we of the Senior Class have projected ourselves into the memories of the school; separately, as individuals, we have our own special memories of our life at UTHS. Thus, we dedicate the SKYLINE of 1953 to our memories. Pat and Ike, Editors 4 Memories o Homecoming lQb3 6 HOMECOMING Homecoming was the gayest and most colorful event of the year. Secretly built floats on parade . . . that long awaited moment — the crowning of the king and queen . . . cheering around the blazing bonfire . . . the hard fought game with Argo . . . dancing to the music of Jack Manthey s orchestra . . . these and a million more — our memories of homecoming.
