CLASS OF 1952 proud of achievements Twelve years ago a group of timid, un- learned youngsters began their tour through the realms of education. Analogous to a sight-seeing tour, it was initiated with all the energy and enthusiasm of youth catching its first glimpse of something new. The various books, the everchanging teachers, the new clothes and certain incidents now thought of as commonplace, such as buying a new pencil, brought effervescent joys to these kids. After a while the newness began to wear off, the never-ending homework and every- day drudgery became monotonous, and all the necessary painstaking efforts of school life revealed themselves. Of course there were the dates and the parties and all the other gay times that helped them survive the trying ordeals and discouraging moments of education. Today these timid, ignorant youngsters are the confident and capable seniors of E. H. S.g and if you asked any one of them, they would be very sure of themselves when they replied that it was well worth their efforts. They would not be so sure of themselves, however, if they were asked to say whether or not they are glad it is over. All these years they have waited patiently to become seniors, and now they are not sure whether they should be glad or sad. At any rate, they were not idle during their last year of high school. In athletics, agriculture, forensics, music, and scholarship, as well as the numerous other activities in which they participated, they received more than an average number of awards and honors. Now, as they are about to graduate, the seniors can look back over their past and have a justifiable sense of achievement and pride in a job well done. Franklin D. Anderson Betsy Bacon Glenn E.

This class is numerically the 1,,Q5"r 'W 'ffl largest class in El Dorado High gg to School. Flass officers: Susie Murray treasurerg Paul Hawkins, Jr.. vice-presidentg Jerry Peterson, presidentg Joy Cooper, secretary. Juniors are the most fortunate stu- dents in school, in that they do not have to adjust to senior high ways in September, nor will they have to part permanently from their school friends in May. The activities of this class are many and varied. A number rated high in music and forensics events, as well as in scholarship and athletics. The class play, "In Spring the Sap" was presented on March 28 and provided fine entertainment for a large audience. Bringing to a close the activities of the year, the class banquet was held on May 15 at the Masonic Hall and was followed by the "prom" in the school gym.

There was a great surge of pride, however, under cover of these fears. The members of this class were proud of the record of E. H. S. They were proud that they were growing older, that now they would have a part in the many activities of the school. These were the days looked forward to and now they were here. After classwork was well begun the Student Council gave the usual announcement that the trophies must be polished and the sign on the hill east of town must be cleaned and white-washed. They donned their old clothes and armed themselves with buckets, hoes, and brooms and did the task in one evening of hard work. The sophomore party on March 23 was a pleasant way to end a successful year. Some of the sophomores hard at work polishing and white-washing. if E A X ' 7 - X 3 if Q s k.',.,,l ,I- Front row: Ann Moriarity, Marian Hildebrand, Waynette McGraw, Paula Kirby, Mary K.

The council planned many school parties, a highlight of which was the successful school carnival. Sufficient funds were raised to begin the furnishing of the recreational reading center in the library. Other activities included concessions at games, an apportionment of funds to heip with the work of UNESCO, and the sponsoring of W. P. A. week.

"In Spring the Sap," a three act comedy, was presented by the junior Class under the direction of Mr. Wal- bourn. The action revolves around an elder- ly Justice of the Peace, who is too busy with his invention to marry people. Three romantic couples, a female foot- ball player, a poet, an interfering Woman who runs a soda shop next door, her daughter and several others all add complications to the plot.

ALL-SCHOOL PLAY makes a 'lhit" The All-School play, "Henrietta, the Eighth," concerned the hilarious trials and tribulations of the eighth secretary to Mrs. Sutton, the busy mother of two spoiled "brats."

This is the band that also is on hand from the tip- off to the last whistle of all the basketball games, and that provides enjoyment at the Band Regalement and other functions. It takes a lot of work to have a good musical group, but there is fun too, and the band and orchestra banquets are always remembered. We pay tribute to Mr. Wallingford and the fine band of 1951-1952. Those serv- ing as officers this year were Wanda Kimball, president, Joyce Brower, vice-presidentg and Sidney Martin, secretary-treasurer. THE COLOR GUARD is composed of Bill Mollohan, Willis Waldorf, Bill Feder, and Robert Derstein. :ix V fi ia if I On the graduate, dipl ,W . ww, We if Q 11.

The fact that consoles the seniors is that next year another wonderful group of girls will carry on the traditions and continue to make our Red Peppers the very best Pep Club in the whole "Sunflower" state.
