Class Flower ROSE Class Colors GREEN AND WHITE Class Motto: Tl-IUS ENDS OUR FIRST LESSON l1l0STFllGIFI We leave dear Howard School The class of '52. We take with us the smiles and joys That we have shared with you. Our minds with richest blessings from thee How, As down the road of life we 'onward go. Let's take a minute now to reminisce About the things we soon shall miss- Intriguing plays, glittering proms, and the halls conjested. The cheering crowds that paced our teams to many victories The band, gym, stadium, the many dear familiar faces, These we soon shall miss when we're in other places. Down the aisle we march in cap and gown, For now we have relived and written down Recaptured thoughts and cherished memories That others too will know in coming centuries. We leave, but never will thy memory die, You shall live on forever, Howard High! B SONIA COLE

OF OUR LIVES ,. .., LN At Christmas, we Juniors and Seniors, col- laborated on a rip roarin ' party in the Library. Although it was fun, our greatest pleasure was 'filling the baskets for a needy family. Our Junior year was full of excitement and hard work-a gay, glittering, star-studded talent show to earn the wherewithal for a glamorous Junior Prom-a Cinderella ball- from cinder hearth to pumpkin coach. The story of Cinderella in murals, painted by Walter Armistead, James Jett, Vernon South- erland, Johnny Miller, and Douglas Tenpenny transformed the library into fairyland. When the clock struck twelve, the only glass slipper found was sorrowfully packed away in the prop room. After the excitement of the prom, everyone was looking forward to June and vacation, especially Betty Jo Owen, who had been chosen to represent Howard at Volunteer Girls' State. Back to school in the fall and hard at work again. Marilyn Littlejohn received a twenty- five dollar check from the Lion Oil Company for her essay, What I Want from Education. Peggy Booth, as Victoria Borge, was award- ed the prize at the Penny Carnival Variety Show. Her election as President of the Inter- High Student Councils of Davidson County was an honor to Peggy and to Howard School. As the Yuletide season rolled around, everyone began making plans for the Christ- mas festivities. The Junior and Senior Choruses joined forces to present a beautiful program, The Song of Christmas. On the gayer side were our plans for the Christmas party. We again decided to fill a food basket for a needy family. Our plans for both were very successful. In December the honor students were chosen. Joy Williams received the D. A. R. Medal and Leon Ruben the Civitan Award. Walking away with the scholastic achieve- ments for the Senior Class were Betty Jo Owen, Valedictorian, and Joy William, Salu- tatorian. Graduation spring proved to be a hectically busy time-the annual went to press on March 1. But the pressure was not off. The senior play a delightful comedy, The Red Headed Step Child, was ready to go into pro- duction, the pageant, Out of a Dream,', com- memorating the twelfth anniversary of Howard was being written-festival music and graduation music were being practiced. Finally .I une 5 arrived. We graduated in caps and gowns, the girls lovely in white, the boys distinguished in green, our school colors and class colors as well. We were very proud to graduate from Howard High, the first class in the Nashville City schools to complete our secondary education under one roof. DOROTHY TANKERSLEY p I g '33 .V .
