E lllli CLASS HISTORY We, the class of '52, are rapidly approaching the greatest victory in our struggle for knowledge--Graduation. We have been fighting vigorously and intelligentlyfor twelve years to reach this, our supreme goal. We have already experiencedeleven other minor victories, each one a little greater than the one before . Butwe await with great eager- ness and expectation the concession of our foes fthe courses and studies we have takenito a complete and unconditional surrender in the form of eighty diplomas. Our numberwas much greater when the eyes of the camera first caughtsight of us . We were then invading the tenth grade . As the battle continuously became more difficult, a few were overcome and fell by the wayside. ln our ranks, we now have eighty. As we await with anxiety the coming events, let us look back on some of the instances which the eyes of the camera have preserved for us . Our invasion of the upper classes really began in I949. We were entering high school as sophomores, and we learned to cope with new responsibilities that go along with growing up. This was the year we chose our class colors, our motto, and our flower. But our battle that year was considerably easy to win, and now we realize that it was only a candid snapshot which the camera took of us. However, in l950, as we again invaded the halls of Derry High, this time as Juniors, a larger camera with a more important standing was sent into the front lines to cover the events which were to take place . We remember such outstanding scenes as our classmates in their new hats and pennants and rings, as well as our first class play, and our Junior Prom . Then in September ofl95l , the camera was again setup to cover the commencement of the greatest battle in our history. We were entering the portals of Derry High for the last time as a class of students--Seniors to be exact. During the opening struggles of this last great battle we faced many perturbing problems, butal I were readily solved and victory was again taken in stride. Viewing the camera's pictorial recordings of this period, we see snapshots of our Senior Class play and of the many lesser activities in which we took part. These were to prepare ourselves financially for our Senior Class trip to Washington, D. C. We shall never forget Derry Highl For in her, through her, and by her we have benefited in more ways than can be imagined, and in such ways as could never beexpressed in mere words. In our mind's eye she shall ever stand as a symbol of youth, learning for the sake of freedom and tranquility. There we see the camera again ready to snap a picture of our last salute to our beloved Alma Mater. The Victory is ours, the spoils are wonl May the world benefit by them. 2' i- K ,X f
