We entered high school on the morning of September Z, 1952. It was soon time for initiation which was enjoyed by all, even though we dreaded it at first. The first function as a class was to elect our class officers. Donna Zimmerman, President, Shirley Charley, Vice Presidentg Edytha Scott, Secretary, Bonnie Scranton, Treasurer, Jim Smith, Sergeant-at- Armsg Gary Holm and Carole Bliss as our class representatives. In honor of the seniors we sponsored a Sock Hop in November. Also, we all had a very enjoyable half-day at Grayback Camp. After working so hard on the Bleacher Drive , we were beaten by a small margin by the seniors. Soon we were back again in the Halls of Ivy as sophomores. This year we chose as our class officers: Don King, President, Lee Carothers, Vice President, Barbara Prewitt, Secretaryg Kenneth Rosenberg, Treasurerg Darrell Smith, Sergeant-at-Arms, Greg Floyd and Donna Zimmerman as our class representatives. On October l7, of this year, we sponsored a sophomore class party which was enjoyed by all. At last Upperclassmen. We elected Lee Carothers, Presidentg Darrell Smith, Vice President, Vera Kellogg, Secretary, Carol Preston, -Treasurerg Howard Pickle, Sergeant-at-Armsg Lylabelle Cross and Frank Cook as our class representatives. After many bangs and bruises at the well attended skating parties, we then sponsored the biggest event of the year. The Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom. We are proud to say it was a wonderful success, and we're looking forward to our last but not least year at Ivy, when we'll be seniors.

As a wagon rolls past with its canvas snapping smartly and the sound of whips cracking sharply, two old maids are seen at the reins. fPearl Johnson and Betty Farmerj. These two lead-slinging pioneers are bound and determined to make it to the land of promise! The wagons pull out and at last set forth upon their great journey into the far re- gions of unsettled lands. They will camp many times upon this journey, their life will be full of hardship, sickness, grief, and terror. They will cross many miles of plains, and desert, and will ascend the great mountains before they at last come to their first sight of real civilization. It is the sight of Fort I.V. that has been in their minds for miles now: for when at last they have reached its protecting walls, once again they can enjoy a few comforts of life. A settler and his wife, fShirley P. and Russell BJ at once direct the weary travel- ers to a camp site just outside the fort. Early next morning finds a group of our pioneers exploring the fort. The women are attracted to the beautiful handwork of the fort's seamstress, Linda George, and stop to admire it while the men wander on, noticing the signs of establishments. one such sign reads: Dr. Pat K. , M.D. with the slogan Why suffer, use my Blackfort Remedy, it's guaranteed to kill or cure you. Their eyes come to rest on a group of children clustered around their school marm, Miss Gladys Laborde, whose father is commander of the fort. It is thought by these people thatthey have reached the end of the first part of a long journey, and that with continued hard work, they will someday reach the fulfillment of their dreams, and the goal so long anticipated will be obtained. The Seniors, upon reaching the year 55 and now back at school, are very thoughtful in their memories of the past. For they too, have reached the same point of achievement and are faced with their own future goals. They are wished good luck as they continue on their journey of life.
