CLASS OF 1952 HISTORY In the fall of 'LLB fourteen very eager students started at a fast tempo up the scale to the Westfield High School. As freshmen we were assigned the library as our homeroom and Mrs. Buchanan was intro- duced as Maestro. Initiation followed on November 15, with much agitato. We concluded our program with our class Picnic. We now devoted ourselves to the next mood, our Sophomore year. We gained two notes, Gerry Eaton, and Joyce Safford which now made our number sixteen. By now we thought we were pretty moco Chotl stuff. The year was spent in much activity. The Queen of Hearts Ball 81 Alumni Dance, to the strains of Dick I-Iam1in's orchestra, were expressive and a welcome interlude. Now for our Junior Year. Tranquillity looked as if it might reign, but no, what's that I hear???? Could it be more voices mingled with our giocoso group. Yes, ten more new students clamorsd for introductions. This lent lilting laughter and staccato happenings. Our Christmas Party and Junior-Senior Picnic wind up the year. The Climax now appears upon our horizon. We settle down to hard work, for we know this is our last year to acquire that little bit of knowledge required in rising to success. We gained one more student, Sterry Root. But our group is dimenuendo by Hugh Terwilliger who leaves us for the great outside. Ah, the Mid- terms, which proved more forte and less pianissimo. On our part, that is. The Queen of Hearts Ball is the next passage with Dorothy Swayne and Gerry Eaton chosen as Senior candidates. Cheerleaders are elected and we find we have quite a cheering section in our room with three on the squad. Ctlerry, Dorotkq, and Marcia! Our Junior-Senior Picnic proved very allegro and the Alumni Dance and Banquet brought finish to our School Activities. Graduation, the Grand Finale, now dawns and as we each do a crescendo marcato across the stage to receive our diplomas, we smile with pride and achievement. Our eyes ever forward on the bright future ahead. 31
