Hz'5t0ry of the Class of '52 September of 1948 marked the beginning of the high school career for 169 depression babies . This group was destined to become the most successful class ever to pass through the portals of Emmaus High School. Among the uniqueness of the class we noticed that we had two sets of twins, born twenty-four days apart, Connie and Peggy Millhouse, and Jane and Joan Sell. During this year we selected our class colors, cardinal and gray, and our class flower, the yellow tea rose. Our first big event was the Freshman Minstrel, A Night at the Fair , which was presented February 11 and 12. Prominent at this affair were the six End Men running up and down the aisle selling balloons, popcorn, and candy. After this successful exposition of talent we presented the May Dancen, at which the very lovely Caroline Bieber was crowned May Queen. Socially our Sophomore year seemed average, with two dances in the gym, The Winter Wliirl on December 3 and The Spring Swing on May 23. At the end of this term colour guards, cheer- leaders, and majorettes were selected for the next two years. Later we discovered we could boast of the best colour guards and cheerleaders in the league and some of the finest in the state. As Juniors we wasted no time getting off on the right foot with our first and very extraordinary function, the original Junior Jamboree, on November 4. On the agenda for this affair was a dance in the gym at which we under soldn and over-filled all previous dances at E.H.S., in the base- ment were refreshments, a baseball throw, and a very attractive cider garden, on the first floor, a game room, bingo, bake sale, fortune booth, and a white elephant sale. This extravanganza netted us S400 profit, as our class worked with an almost unexplainable oneness. Other classes mouths began to water at the great success of the class of 1952. The results of the Iowa Educational Deve- lopment Tests,taken November 16 and 17, showed our class well above the national average and we made the highest score in E.H.S. history. On March 6, depth of feeling, sincerity, and poise won the Junior Declamation Contest for June Arnold. Next was our glorious Junior Prom, held for the first time at the Lehigh Country Club. With gorgeous floral arrangements by Ralston, striking programs, and heavenly music by Bud Raderls orchestra, our prom was probably the most im- pressive ever. On this beautiful evening of April 20, the very popular and attractive Jan Sachs reigned as Queen. She was preceded to the throne by the court dressed in an impressive array of evening gowns. After this we began planning our last affair for the Junior year, the Senior Fare- well . For this dance we rented the redecorated Owls Home, engaged Sal Taibi's orchestra, one of the finest available, and presented gifts to two Seniors for outstanding contributions to the School. Realizing the advantage of starting early, on October 13 we had a repeat performance of our Junior Jamboree, the bigger and better Senior Jamboree, which contained all the former's attrac- tions, but on a larger scale and with a grand new addition, the Chamber of Chills. Shorty Strouse and his industrial buddies put in many hours of work in developing this amazing spectacle which had crowds standing at the door waiting to get inside. The profit was 5450. On election day the proposed school district merger was passed, making us probably the last class to graduate under the name of Emmaus High School. With our unusual ability for earning money, we turned to the Sadie Hawkins Danceu, on November 23. The orchestra was composed of several of the area band leaders, following our policy of only the best orchestras. The profit from this dance was 5125,
