HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1952 In September 19U8 we began to climb the steep mountain called High School Education» nineteen of uc started that long hike; namely, Alpheus Brooks, Burton Hathaway, Roger Strout, Frederick Farnum, Eleanor Wing, Elsie Roberts, Ethel Davis, Christine Kni hts, Basil Green, Gwen Cox, Robert Mason, Alton Hathaway, Haney Drake, Roland Dunham, James lyier, Mabel Spra ue, George Spra'ue, and Harland Harlow. Wayne Mowatt joined us after Christmas, and George Sprague slipped off the trail in the Spring term. For a year we all struggled along, then in our second year two new members joined the hiking party. Lucelia Lord joined us from Mechanic Falls and Josephine St. John from Bridgton. There were now twenty of us but we were soon back to eighteen as Mabel Sprague tumbled down the mountainside and Nancy Drake met a nan named Allen on the way and left us to become a Mrs. We soon became juniors which proved we were nearer the top than we were before. One new member joined us from Aroostook Central Institute, Marguerite Mullen. But another marriage took place, that of Elsie Roberts, thus we lost another comrade. Josephine left us to go to Eridgton High and Harland Harlow quit school and went to work. Also Wayne Mowatt left to attend Farmington High. This year was filled with many happy activities, including prize speaking of which Ethel Davis, Marruerite Mullen, and Alton Hathaway were the champions. After a pleasant vacation we returned to business and began to see the top of the mountain. We began struggling hard to reach the top. Our new member of the Junior Class, Marguerite Mullen left us to live in Connecticut. Christine Knights left the mountain and married a Hill. Gwen Cox also became a wife. Roland Dunham decided to quit the climb also. Those of us who were left worked hard at our paper drive v hich will help on our class trip. Our Snow Carnival proved a success with Fred Farnum and Eleanor Wing our King and Queen. The eleven of us who remain are eagerly looking forward to the top when we will receive our final merit. ? e realize however that this is only the beginning of a long hard climb, the reaching of the top of the first pinnacle, but we are getting prepared anyhow.
