Once again we began to set a pattern for another school year as we stood in the registration line--meeting our old friends and getting new ones.

The Bluejays had a strong crew for the first practices which bids well for the future. We couldn't use them all so some were eliminated with the choosing of the Iroquois League Team. Our Mile Relay and the 880 Relay teams turned in some enviable records. We also showed some strength in other events.

The Senior Class Poem Of 1952 BY LEE EDWARD COX, DONNA SPOTTS, AND MARY ANN STINSON A is for Allen, so fair and so sweet For all around fun she can't be beat. B is for Bowling, a cute little lass, If she's in the crowd you're really with class. B is for Beydler, personality plus, Over whom Mary Ann makes quite a fuss. C is for Callison, pretty and gay, If you run out of words, she'll have something to say. C is for Chambers, with good looks galore, ' Around him any girl's spirits will soar. C is for Cox, a mighty cute kid, Get on the ball girls and put in your bid. C is for Crosby, the joy of the class, We all like Ruthie for she's a cute little lass. D is for Davis, Shirley no less, Everyone likes her, now come on boys confess. D is for Davis, Tommy you see. Quite a photographer, he's turned out to be. D is for Dickey, mathematical wit. Into Homer's life only Phyllis will fit. D is for Dome, an all around joy, A.H.S. will hate to lose this fine boy. F is for Fleming, a handsome brute. All the kids think that Maynard is cute. F is for Fox, a sweet little gal. She'd make anyone a wonderful pal. G is for Gamble, Bubbles is her name, Boy were we glad when this beauty came. G is for Greene, the girl with the looks, She also knows what's in the books. H is for Harmon, a girl that's All Reet , She's the type of person we all like to meet. K is for Keasling, a little chunky wart. But even though he's kidded, he's really a good sport. M is for McMinimy, jolly and bright. She's after Vernon, and she'll get him all right. M is for Mahieu, the fun loving kid, With him around our sorrows all are hid. M is for Matthews, the brains of the group, Ask him anything for he's got the scoop. M is for Musgrove, the wittiest of all, He's really swell with a lot on the ball. N is for Neihart, pretty and dark, She has added to our class quite a big spark. P is for Preisner, a handsome boy, With him around there'll always be joy. R is for Riley, a swell young lad, When he's near we're always glad. S is for Snell, the artist you know. Without his talents there would have been woe. S is for Spotts, Donna's her name, She's on the track that is headed for fame. S is for Stinson, the humorist, you bet, On top is the place where she should be set. T is for Theander, so shy and so neat. To get to know him is really a treat. Y is for York, a hit on the drum. She made the rhythm for everyone.

The juniors have been active this year. As a moneymaking project we sponsored a doughnut sale and we produced a play, The Nutt Family. Also we have sponsored four different Lyceum numbers. We had three members of our class who were active in speech activities. Numerous other members of the class worked hard in all the music activities. The theme for the Junior-Senior Banquet this year was centered around a Mexican Fiesta. WESNER'S FIRST SEMESTER CLASS OFFICERS: Donnie Randall, Carol Vallentine, Bob Harmon, Deloris Wibright.
