X-. rs Y , f w 4 5 'l .- ... FOREWORD It is june, 1953, and another graduating class is preparing to leave the protective folds of our beloved school, York Central. Soon each graduate will own a newly-framed diploma and the tassel from a graduating cap, the tokens of twelve wonderful years in which we have been almost unbelievably happy- During these eventful years we have matured from meek and frightened first graders fwith pigtails, missing teeth, and all the other trimmingsj to more grown-up, self-sure individuals who have profitted by our mistakes and experiences. We'll always remember with pride the assembly programs that we participated in, the day we left grade school to enter jr. High, our Freshman initiation, our junior Prom fMay 9th was that eventful datel, Seventeenth Summer -our Senior Play, our Senior Trip, and graduation-the crowning event of our years of happy industry. We'll always remember with special tenderness the lasting friendships we've made-not only with our fellow-students, but with our principal-Mr. llilfiker, the members of our faculty and our advisors who have so expertly guided and trained us during our joyous stay at York. We'll always remember with heartfelt pride the neat red brick building that has been host to our scholastic achievements, musical activities, athletic contests, and money- raising projects. We are proud of our school and proud that we have been a part of it. To show our un- faltering pride in York Central, we present to you-the Shaft of '53,
