Senior Class History A group of timid Freshmen, we entered the vast halls of Whitmer in the fall of 1949. After a few days of initiation, we felt we were “in.” Along with this sense of belonging came our various activities. With Bernard Frost as our class advisor, we began our Freshman year with a skate and a dance, “The Freshman Frolic.” As Sophomores we branched out slightly in our activities. In addition to another skate and a dance, we presented an “Arthur Godfrey Assembly” before the student body. Under the capable supervision of Lois Loehrke, we became upper class- men. The halls grew smaller and responsibilities increased. After much anticipation, we received our class rings. In February another big event. The Junior Prom, faced us. May was a very busy month for the class of ’53; for it included not only our assembly program—a minstrel show—but also our class play. Cheaper By The Dozen. We climaxed the year by giving the Seniors a party centered around the Maypole theme. At last the long awaited year arrived; we were Seniors! In order to complete this important phase of our lives, we had to carry out a few more traditions. There were our Senior pictures in September and our class play. Pride and Prejudice, in November. As the end of the year drew near, our so¬ cial lives were filled to the brim by the Washington trip and the Senior Prom. Then came Baccalaureate, Senior Day, and finally. Commencement. How eagerly we have looked forward to this day! As we leave the halls of Whitmer for the last time, let us keep in mind our class motto: “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Secretary 18
