enior ass Prop ecy As I became so attached to the class of 1952, I decided to save my money so in later years I would be able to look them all up. The time has come. As I go on my way, I find my first stop is Toppenish where I see Tootie on her way to the grocery store. What's this we see behind her, the boy scouts? No, its only her ten children. I go on over to Blalock where the latest Olympic games are being held. There I find Arlington's football hero, Phil Hickey, who has just won the most spectacular contest in the history of the Olympic games. He has just been crowned tiddledy-wink champion of the year. I continue on my journey to the thriving metropolis of Mikkalo, where I find .Ioe Potter, a successful farmer. According to Joe, the weather has been unfavor- able and the wheat refuses to grow, but my, what a crop of weeds. I stop off at Ciro's in Hollywood one afternoon and who should I see but Percy Rock, interviewing female talent for Ciro's latest bubble dance. As I go on to Kentucky I see one lone person sitting forlornly in the grand- stand at the Kentucky Derby waiting for her thoroughbred champion, Oakwood Gal to round the last bend. Lo and behold, it's my best Physics student, Donna Krebs. Stopping off at New York,l happened to pick up the latest edition of the New York Times. The editor's name was Don Archer. Could this be the Don Archer I knew? I then noticed the news in it was six months old. I realized this was the Don Archer I knew, for no one else could be that late in getting out a paper. As I go on to Greenwich Village, I dodge into a third-rate night club and find none other than Janet West, who after four years of college, has finally achieved her life long ambition as a torch singer. As I was traveling on to Washington D.C., I turned on my radio to get the latest news and what should I hear but another familiar name. Marilyn Hurst, the famous English Channel swimmer who bested the world's record by twelve hours, is now attempting the first trans-Pacific swim. When last seen she was zooming by the coast of Australia. On arrival in Washington, I noticed the town was in an uproar and all Icould hear were crys of lla for President. On further investigation, I found this was lla Mackey from the class of 52 . I attended her campaign speech and the theme of her speech were those four familiar words, I can't afford it. While in Washington, I attended the Ice-Capades, where I find Darlene White, star of the show now for ten years, practicing the act she will do tonight. She has just accomplished the figure eight and is very proud of herself. Exhausted by my travels, but glad that my favorite class is doing so well, I turn my car homeward to the peace and quiet of my sixteen children.

enior Class History The class of 1952 began its high school career as sixteen frightened freshmen, who found, to their surprise, that they lived through initiation. They soon overcame their shyness and fell into the routine to take their share of duties and honors under the leadership of class president, Marion Nixon. Donna Krebs and Tootie Bailey were elected yell leaders and Marilyn Hurst became a sub- majorette in the drill team. Several members served on the paper and annual staffs and the girls joined the drill team. A one-act play, The Little Red Schoolhouse ,was given in the fall. It was a view into the schoolroom ofyesterday and received a warm response. Their May Day float, Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary , won first prize. A few members were lost during the summer but most of the class regathered as sophomores. Donna andTootie were again yell leaders and Marilyn, sub-majorette. Marilyn was also class presi- dent. Glamorous Gloria , with Donna Krebs as Gloria, contributed to the success of the annual open house. With money as the main objective, the class started a busy year as juniors. Janet West was elected president. Tootie was again yell leader and Donna, Marilyn, and Darlene became sub- majorettes. Marilyn was chosen assistant editor of the annual and Don Archer, assistant editor of the Honker. A carnival was given in November which brought in a good profit. Food sales and pop sales boosted the treasury. A three-act play, Growing Pains , with Don and Janet as the center of the plot, was declared a hilarious success. April Showersnproved to be a beautiful banquet and prom. The ceiling of the gym was hung with longicicles. The walls were decorated with trellises and ivy. A huge rainbow of paper flowers circled the orchestra and ended in a pot of gold. Baccalaureate and commencement found the juniors bidding the seniors goodbye. By the time they became seniors, the class had dwindled to only ten. Don was elected stu- dent body president and also became editor of the l'bnker. Donna and Janet became student body secretary and treasurer respectively. Darlene was elected main majorette with Marilyn and Donna as subs. Marilyn edited the annual and served as class president. Tootie was elected yell leader. ln November she became Mrs. Dale Hadley and was replaced by Donna. Phil Hickey worked his way to captain of the football team and the other boys tumed out for various sports. Donna and Phil took leading parts in the operetta The Governor's Daughter . Marilyn and Janet were the accompanists. The class presented a three-act comedy, Star Crazy. On May 3, 4, and 5, the class sneaked off on their skip day. The three days were fun for everyone. Mr. Brigham, class advisor, and his wife accompanied the seniors as chaperones. The final events of the school days were baccalaureate, May 25, and commencement, May 29. The girls wore white caps and gowns and the boys were dressed in blue. Mr. Kip Taylor, head football coach at Oregon State College, delivered the address. After four jolly years of high school, the seniors separated to each make his own way.
