ALVIN NORRIS -- Much to our loss and dismay, Al- vin recently moved to To- ledo. XVe immediately felt the loss, as Alvin is a wit, has sharp taste in clothes- and besides, everyone likes him, His interests lie in the field of science, and he is an outstanding chemistry stu- dent. XVe're glad Alvin was with us as long as he was, making our class that much better. RONALD OAKLEY- Anyone who has been in a history class with Ronnie will remember him. One can always count on him to keep the class lively with' his remarks and yearning to blow things up, Ronnie's marvelous ability with phy- sics will probably make him an outstanding neu- clear physicist, and we are expecting to hear great things from him if he doesn't explode first. DONALD PARSH - Don is a handsome fellow, and many a girl has been sorry that his affections incline to a certain younger clasman. He is a member of Hi-Y and of the football and track squads. Don plays a wicked harmonica, and al- though he has not been with us very long, he is an indispensable member of the class. EUGENE PRESTI- Get'r O is the name he prefers, and he's quite a sharp lad. He likes to travel and in- vent tricky football plays. Gene's a lover of jazz, es- pecially Kenton and Shear- ing. His dream was to or- ganize a high school com- bo. Gene is friendly and good-looking, and loves to gun around in his green Pontiac. D sf -In fx Wu Y 'S iN ' -if Chg? '7 'Ek uit 3 il -1015 4' BONNIE PRINCEHORN --The bonniest girl in our class whose hair and figure are famous around school. She's an expert baton twirl- er and her fire exhibits are wonderful. Bonnie's been going to business college in the afternoons, so we ex- pect to see her as one of those glamorous secretaries one day, No matter what she does, her beauty and personality will be her greatest assets. E U G E N I A R A Y - Genie is really one of the new girls in our classg in fact, she newest. In French, she can supply a lot of miss- ing word translations be- cause her previous school- ing has taught her some of the things our second year French class hadn't covered. Eugenia has a wonderful grin that lights up her whole face, and that grin will always, as it has here, make her many friends, WANETA RIFENBURG - Neta is a newcomer, but she soon took a perma- nent place in our hearts. Her friendliness and smile are always welcome. She's SECIEIHIY of both the senior class and Fine Arts, Her basketball scores have been a great asset to our cham- pionship teams. At the Pine Arts weekend, Neta consist- ently kept the girls in an uproar, and everyone had a most jolly time. RICHARD ROBINSON -Dick's an indispensable member of both the foot- ball and basketball teams, and we were all very sorry about the broken collar bone that kept him out of the last few football games. Dick has a shrewd interest in the junior class, but at the same time manages to be a wonderful member of the class of '52.

JANET HURST- jan, one of the prettiest gals of '52 is always smilin: and helping wherever she can. She's held important of- fices in both the class and G.A.A. What would the G.A.A. hayritle he without the Hurst farzn and janet's willing aid? Wfe know that she will go far with her bubbling personality. JUNE KERN-Junes red hair is always bringing in remarks about temper. She seems to defy the old pro- verb, though, as she is one of the nicest and easiesta to-get-along-with girls in the class. She always has a smile and hello for you, but she gets mad if she is accused of being in love when she isn't. RICHARD KIMMEYN Dick's trademark is his pleasant smile. He's been a faithful sax player in our band and was one of the original members of the Senators Last year Dick could be seen deliv- ering telegrams on his trusty motor-scooter, and this year helps deliver food to college dorms. tQuite a job when you consider the early morning houts.l GLORIA KLERMUND- Glo is one of our old- timers, for she has lived in Oberlin all her life. If Glo is not working in her Dads store, she can usually be found having a coke at the Be-Bo. W'hen she gives out with one of her famous sneers, better watch out-but when she smiles, theres nothing like it. W'hen Glo leaves the old homestead, we know she will be successful. 'W f Ev ff' tal? 'sd MA R T H A LAWALL- Tort is our world trav- eler and star student. tChemistry and physics- wowll Shes renowned for her musical ability and for sticking it out in dance band. The people in cho- ral club have learned to appreciate her almost per- fect pitch, and she will surely make an excellent pitch in the field of med- icine, which is where her I ambition will take her if af' , next. 'l . .rf-' .lf , Q V., M I 1 vi sad omni if ...Q , M l! 96-r Ii , g w..r.,v . e ,fi S 1' i -Sa W fi Y gr' 'fj'j'3'7- PATRI A MERLE Pat plays first trumpet in the band and has been a loyal member of the Senators. Un our undefeated hockey team, Pat played goalie. One can always hear her cheering for our teams above the usual din, and her whistle has pierced many an ear. We hope Pat carries out her plan to be at trumpeter for a famous band, or makes a success of any occupation she may choose. NATHAN NASH-Nath an is the agriculturist of the class and is recognized as the senior authority on this subject. His Hallow- een window won lirst prize this year, and his acclaim far exceeded his height. Nathan's smile is one of those contagious ones, and we know that next year at Ohio State he'll be making them smile just as he does here, Good farming, Na- than. MARGARET NEUMANN --Although Maggie has an abundance of nicknames, they do not exceed her pep and enthusiasm. She is noted for her cheerleading and loyal support of the football teams. We alllove to see Mugs blush when- ever she manages to say the tight thing at the wrong time. We're sure she'll make a fine physical education teacher, which is what she plans to be. Mugs is also the vice-president of G.A.A.

ROSE MARIE SADLO- Rosie has done a gneat job on the cheer-leading squad all through high school. Always friendly and full of spirit for the various boos- ter clubs, she has done more than her share of helping arouse school and class spirit. Rosie will be remembered for her strik- ing dark looks and bub- bling laugh. LOIS SCHMITZ-Lois is just about the most friendly girl in our class, and she never keeps her sunny side under cover. She's a whiz at home ec. and does a fine job in the library keeping things under control. Lois is a member of the O-High Lights staff and Fine Arts. Her restful company has been a big boon to many a disgusted classmate. KENNETH SMITH-Ken is a quiet lad, but only around test tubes and gerund phrases. He is one of the most popular boys because of his wonderful athletic ability and his love of a good time. Kenny has been vice-president twice, and he's a member of the Hi-Y. DAVID SNYDER-- David's a boy with a come- back for everything, His wise repartee is his trade- mark, and more often than not, it lands him in hot water. Dave's a new ad- dition to our fold, but hes added a great deal of in- terest and laughs. His wicked smile is already looked for around the high school. BETTYE TURNER- Bettye did a nice job as color guard this year, though those early morn- ing practices were a bit rough. Her boogie beat is solid, and everyone loves it when she sits down at the ivories and improvises -be it hymn or honky tonk. Tall and statuesque, our Bets will never go un- noticed in a crowd, nor will she ever lack gaiety. BETTY VEDDER-Betty joined our ranks after the year had begun, but that didn't stop her from mak- ing many friencls. One of her possessions has won many an oh and ah from the other gals-that's her purple coat. With her job at Isaly's, she'll make even more new friends, and we hope Betty and her sisters will be around Oberlin for a long time. NANCY WALTER-One of the three Nancy's in our class, this Nancy is dis- tinguished by her beautiful red hair. She is one of our high - stepping majorettes and plays the violin in the orchestra. Nancy took the part of Emily in the junior play Our Town, and she did a lot of the writing and acting in the annual skit. PAUL ZECKEL-Paul has a background of which he may be proud. He traveled all over Europe when he was young. We never hear much about it though, for Paul is modest and rather cluietg but, when he ,nets going there is no one fun- nier, We will remember hzm for his job as W'ally in Our Toun and for his tremendous enthusiasm for track.
