FORWARD On Monday, August 25, 1952, another school year began with the only new faces beinggf those of the freshmen. All the teachers re- turned. Class officers were chosen during the first week of school. The sophomores immediately got to work on an initiation party for the freshmen. The football season was one to remember for years since for the first time in Atkinson's football history the team had an undefeated season. Lenny Moens and Marian Claeys reigned over the victorious Homecoming. November brought about the annual junior play. This year the junior class presented Good Night Ladies. Who will ever forget Augie Sherbeyn and Carl Freddy as the aunts . We can't say that the junior play was the only event of the month because Mr. Allison was married on November 8, and brought his wife Maureen to Atkin- son the following week. The basketball season was not as successful as the football, but the boys won their share of the games. The highlight of the basket- ball season was the winning of the District Tournament and the chance to play in the Regional. The annual carnival was an exciting night with the king and queen race being very close. The seniors won with a lead of four dollars. Over one hundred dollars worth of votes were cast. 'The G.A.A. was host to ten schools in a Playday held here. The F.H.A. Rally was held here also this year with twenty two schools represented. In April the Girls' Chorus attended the Corn Belt Music Festival at Cambridge. The annual Chilli supper sponsored by the F.F.A. proved to be fun and filling. At the Athletic banquet many new members were added to the Varsity Club. The band also attended the Band Festival at Orion. Some of the songs we heard students singing throughout the year were Dogie in the Window , You Belong to Me , 'It Takes Two to Tango , Keep It a Secret , and Side by Side . The Charleston dance at the Carnival was a number enjoyed very much by everyone who saw it. The senior play, Growing Pains , was enjoyed by the large and very attentive crowd. The entire senior class had parts in this play and some juniors acted as extras. We hope the 1953 Tiger will be a true reflection of this school year and will bring back many happy memories to the reader now and in the future. O O O C Compliments of O, and D.
