SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Carolyn Longcamp, J. D. Largent, Walter Johnston, Gerald Harrison. MOTTO. Climb though the rocks be rugged. COLORS: Red and White. FLOWER: Carnation. CLASS HISTORY Leafing through the colorful pages of our four-year history, it is apparent that our class, the graduates of 1952, has excelled itself in numerous fields. The first project of our freshman year was the election of our class officers. Our president, Rollin Manford, was assisted by the vice-president, Don Rust; the secretary, Peggy Campbell (now Mrs. Robert Sanford) ; and ‘he treasurer, Marie Gregory. Other activities of the year included the sponsoring of the best-attended dance, a class play, and a float in the Farmers’ Fair parade. The most exciting feature of this, our first year in high school, was the election of Marie Gregory as football homecoming queen. September 1949 found us playing the role of sophisticated sophomores. Although the second year of high school is, for most classes, a slow year of high school, such was not true in our case. Audrey Storey, the second football homecoming queen to be chosen from our class, reigned as co-queen with JoAnn Funke, senior. Once more we entered a float in the Farmers’ Fair parade and this year tied for top honors. Under the direction of Mary Simpson, we gave a successful Christmas play, No Room in the Hotel.” Jerry Martin had reason to be proud of his position as president of this energetic group. The prom, naturally, was the outstanding feature of our junior year. Vin Cabaret,” the theme of the prom, represented a radical change in the type of semi-formal dances given at Aurora High. A1 Cassidy’s orchestra added the final touch of realism to the atmosphere created by the decorations. The crowning of Margie Schmidt, as prom queen, was the highlight of the dance. This year also was the last time that Lulu Kemp and Thomas Berry would teach the students of our high school. Jerry Wright acted as president this year with Rodney Dennerline, vice-president; Jerry Martin, secretary; and Lester Ampt, treasurer. Seniors at last! Having reached the final step of the high school ladder, we continued to uphold our reputation of being an outstanding class. For the third time, we could boast of having the football homecoming queen chosen from our class. Margie Schmidt received the honor with the graciousness of real royalty. Then came commencement. For the last time, we entered the welcoming doors of Aurora High School as students. We, the writers of this history, hope that these recorded incidents may, in later years, hold happy and eventful memories for the Senior Class of 1952. s
