A Brief Hislovql ol lhe Class ol I952 As we sit and ponder over days past and gone our mind by nature turns to those things we enjoyed most. To us as prospective graduates our mind will return to by-gone school days. In the fall of 1939 a group of eager young children enrolled in Frankton School for the purpose of preparing themselves to meet the obligations of life. Our teacher was Mrs. Kimmerling, who through her patience and kindness got us off to a very good start on our school career. It was in this grade that we got our first taste of school life, when we were taught to read and write. We were pleasantly surprised, upon receiving our report cards at the end of the school year, to find that we had been promoted to the second grade. . In the second grade we had Miss Adams as our teacher. This year was uneventful except for the com- ing and going of new students and old chums. The third grade teacher was Mrs. Hughes. VVhen we were in the third, the third and fourth were in the same room. This proved to be very confusing but we managed to advance to the fourth. In the fourth we initiated a new room with the aid of one of our former teachers, Miss Adams. Mis- ch1ef.was in abundance during this year and a few unfortunate persons were reprimanded for taking part in it, but never-the-less we managed to escape the perils of the paddle. In the fifth grade we had two teachers, Mrs. Morris, who was here at the beginning of the year but had to leave because of illness, and Mrs. Nash who took her place. VVe were very glad to have her help us through the rest of the year. Then came the sixth grade. Many of us took our turns at sitting under the teacher's desk for punish- ment. It had its effect. From that time we have been a well behaved group. We went upstairs for the seventh grade and we were all very happy for this new experience, because it was so different. We had so many new teachers. Mrs. Sharp was our sponsor and she helped us through this year. In our second year of junior high we started selling pencils to make money for our senior trip. Mrs. Sharp, who was our sponsor, helped us very much. At the close of school we eighth graders soon real- ized that our grade school days were over. In our freshmen year, the 1949 seniors started it out with a bang for us. We had initiation the second week of school. Being green freshmen we really shined plenty of shoes. Mrs. Sharp who was still our sponsor helped us in our Christmas card campaigning. This year we elected officers. They are as follows: Pres. Dick Davis, Vice Pres. Leo Conwellg Secretary and Treasurer, Kay Friend, Business Manager, Dick Meredith. During our Sophomore year we gained a new sponsor, Mr. Nash. We sold potato chips, pop corn, and booster buttons. We were able to have an all-school skating party at the Anderson rink. We purchased our class rings from Mr. Green of the Balfour Co. WVe were surely busy our Junior year. Mr Nash, our sponsor, directed our Class Play entitled, Family Tree, an all girl cast with Dana Heflin in the leading roll. The play was presented on Oct. 20, 1950 in the high school gym. We had our second all- school skating party at the Elwood rink. We chose maroon and white for our class sweaters. Miss Alspaugh came in as co-sponsor with Mr. Nash. It was also during this year that we entertained the senior class with a buffet supper at the Elwood Country Club and attended a movie, Father's Little Dividend. following. We helped the looks of our school by purchasing shrubbery for the front. Mr. Nash assumed the res- ponsibility for planting it. We made a large profit this year from selling pop. As seniors we realized that this would be our last year at good old Frankton High. We started the year out right by selling ice cream the first week of school. We had the first all school skating party on Sept. 18, at the Elwood rink and made the most anyone had ever made. On Oct. 5, we presented a three act comedy entitled Here Come the Brides, directed by Mr. Nash. Kay Friend and Angie Welborn took the leading roles. The Halloween Festival was held in the Gym on Oct. 30. Our class had the cake walk with Dick Mere- dith as master of ceremonies. We sold ice cream and had a food booth. We financed the building of the fireplace and also bought a light for the park. Mr. Green from Balfour came and we chose our name cards and invitations for graduation. Unlike the other classes we chose white for the girls caps and gowns and maroon for the boys to carry out the class colors. We decided to take our senior trip on May 8 to 17. Baccalalaurate was on May 18. On May 23 we had our commencement and were officially graduated. We elected Kay Friend, President, Carol Hires, Vice Pres, Kay Dalzell, Secretaryg David Fields, Treasurer: and Don Waymire, Business Mgr. Page 26
