A large audience gathered in the auditorium on May 22 for the graduation of the New Providence high school class of 1953 and eighth graders moving to the freshman class next September. The program honored long ago graduates, heard Rev. W H Kettlitz speak on preparation for service, and diploma ceremonies led by Supt W D Murray. Valedictorian June Shaver and salutatorian Jean Mitchell were announced, with various awards for academics, conduct, and music, and several local families noted for travel and illness.
