Each memher was ucordiaffyn wef- comed hy upper cfassmen on initiation day. The hoys wore 1ong underwear, onions around their necks, marshmallows on their shoes and their hair in curfers. The girls fafso appropriately dressed, were clad in pajamas and housecoats and carried dolls. Their ffoat entry in the Homecoming Pa- rade was Stack 'em, Stuff 'Em Tn, R011 'Em Over. The Freshmen entered the Annual Stunt Show with the stunt, UTic1cets Pfeaseu and ran away with the honors- third place.

We 1'1aven't Finished This, But We Will Unity was the title of the Sophomore float which pfaced second in the Homecoming Parade.

Through the ahfe assistance of the class advisors, Miss Catherine Carter and Mr. Paul Durbin, the 1952 Stunt Show proved to he a success.

Excitement arose again during Stunt Show Week. Popular vote proved Jessie Mae Warren, Queeng Dan Trenfde, Kingg Shirley Wheeler, Miss Senior and Jim Hammer, Mr. Senior. The stunt, H1V1cGi11yfuddy Writes Home , was our most enjoyahfe and most rewarding stunt throughout the four years-a first pface honor in our fast presentation. An early he- ginning and a good follow-through provided hy 'Miss Elaine Dickson, advisor, and many others resufted in the completion of OUR UWT. The haccafaureate address was hy Rev. Fred Harrold of the Christian Church. Commencement exer- cises were held on May 27, with Cari S. Winters, D.D., of the First Baptist Church of Gal: Park, 111inois, as speaker. His topic was The Fine Art of Livingn-a most definite part of our memory. And with this final scene the 1954 Seniors take a fast how to Moore High. s20a
