The Freshmen were given a reception in the Town Hall The acts, jesting, and fun was enjoyed by all. This year not one of us was allowed to shirk For we had to earn money and all had to work. Soon our officers came before us paradin' Led by our president, popular Ray Cadrin. Butler Smith again took the V. P.'s grind- One as good would be hard to find. Beverly Francis took over the secretary's seat. She was capable, efficient, and hard to beat. Ioe Adams again was elected to the Treasury Collecting money kept him busy as a bee. To earn money, a lot of work we had to do. Selling cards and stationery were only a few. Jean La Salle, as editor of the COMPASS, we elected. To get pictures, ads and news, we were all selected. The Senior Play Fresh Fields was a huge success! The actors and actresses all did their best. Then plans for a Minstrel Show filled the air. We worked hard, for there was no time to spare. We had songs, jokes., and pranks of all sorts. Everyone accepted our antics like good sports. WASHINGTON! There we went excited and gay And invaded it in any and every way! New York, with its buildings, was another sight! This vacation, in our memory, will be held tight. After a hectic, but wonderful week, Dear old Grafton we began to seek. Arriving home, we had much to relate About our stay in Washington and New York State. Then it was necessary to pay all our class dues For our caps and gowns we soon had to choose. Another event of long-remembered fame Was our Class Night, so-called by name. There was fun and fellowship with each friend. And then a gift was given to all, in the end. At Graduation, with a tear in each eye, We said our farewells to dear Grafton High. So my friends, you have just heard How the events in the class of '52 occurred! We give thanks to our teacher, Mr. Dorsey our friend, Who worked hard to help us right down to the end. It's a great day a'coming, and the future is bright. .us f .
