The Pow-Wow reported in its issue of May 29, 1953:
The senior class of '53 has broken two records in the history of Murray County High School. First, it is the largest class to graduate and, secondly, there will be more honor graduates in this group than in any other previous class. Twenty-five of the seventy-five members of the class held a "B" average or above all through their high school career.
This class also stands out as the first class to complete the twelfth grade and will leave Murray High as a graduate of a high school which is a member of the Southern Accreditation Association.
