Then memories flood back and '6Do you remember. . .? Remember how we marched on the school, sixty-seven strong! Our minds were packed to the last molecule with thoughts of what we were going to accomplish in the next four years. However, in No- vember, we were put down a peg by the ruling Sophomores, and we, clad in strange and unique cos- tumes, marched on a startled school, In March, we were hosts to the Sophomores at an enjoyable St. Patrick's Day party. Everyone laughed and joked amid the decorations, refreshments, and dances. Then our happiness was dampened by the death of a classmate, for on March 22, 1950, our dear friend, Joanne Reece, died after being ill. for a month. We will always remember her as being a lead- ing spirit in the class, and we miss her constantly. Our energy somewhat qualmed, we went to Rocky Glen for our end-of-the-year picnic. Then remember how we skipped through our Sophomore year having and making fun con- stantly. In the fall, we took vengeance on the new Freshmen as well as on three new teachers at the ANNUAL INAUGURATION FOR NEWLY-CREATED FRESHMEN. After a winter of snowballing and sledding, we were entertained by the now accepted Freshmen at a 'tLi1 Abnerl' party. VV e quivered in spasms of fear at the horror picture we were shown, then we went to the other extreme in the waves of laughter that followed. Then spring came and most of the boys took an active part in helping the baseball team break even. Our end-of-the-year trip to Rocky Glen Park wrote ufinisn to our Sophomore year. ln September, 1951, we were Juniors and were proud to be such, for that meant choosing class rings and having all the other privileges of a Junior. After we chose our rings, the winter flew byg and soon the first birds were flying north, while we held our St. Valentine's Day party. The night was warm and everyone danced to the vitality of a square dance and the tantalizing slowness of a waltz until the wee hours of the morning. Again the boys of our class formed the nucleus of the base- ball team and again broke even. Then came the Junior-Senior Prom. What a night! The Hawaiian setting, leis for everyone, a full moon over the jungle, and 4'Aloha Oew to the Class of f'52,' added up to a grand time for everyone. Yes, it has been a good yearf' we reminisced as we rounded it out with a picnic at Rolling Green Park. Soon it was September and we were Seniors! Soon afterwards we held our class elections and elected James Hess as our class president. Then the school held a spirited election for Student Coun- cil president and other officers. The students formed three parties and nominated these candidates: Loren Lamoreaux was the choice of the Student Party, James Hess was the leader of the Fair Deal Par- tyg and John Hess was the man for the Suppo1'terParty. Following the nominating conventions, there was much parading and electioneering after which Loren Lamoreaux and his associates were elected. The days, weeks, and months went quickly and Christmas was next on the calendar. The Juniors and Seniors combined for a mutual party at the Town Hall. The orchestra combined square and round dancing and alike fairies alln we skipped through the evening, and as the clock struck we hurried back to our homes and became Cinderellas once more. Now that winter is over and spring has arrived, our thoughts turn to the various individual plans we have for the future. After our commencement exercises have become memories, let us strive to fulfill our roles as American citizens. Beverly D.
