The Rambler was first published by the Mt. Sterling High School in 1928. Financial difficulties caused its demise in 1929. In 1938 the yearbook was revived under the leadership of Mary McCutcheon Hoffsess and William A. Harriman. Through the ads of local and nearby merchants every year, the Rambler is able to continue publication. The year 1952 marks the sixteenth publication. Throughout the past years the Rambler Staff has tried to improve your yearbook. This year being the first year in the new school, the Rambler has striven to have a yearbook worthy of the school. Our artist, Mary Moorman, with the assistance of Marjorie Bullard, created the division pages. Bob Walker, assisted by Chloe Davis, did the editing. Joan Cox, secretary and treasurer, kept the records. The sports section was edited by Mike Bryant, Darrel Parker, Dave O'Connell, and Jim Grover. Roger Quinn and Bruce Butler worked on the front part of the book. Genna Kirgan was in charge of the typing. The snapshots were taken by Mike Bryant and Dorothy Sailer. Ads were solicited by Leona Pam, Virginia Kerr, and Patsy DeWitt. Mr. Benson and Mr. Verticchio were our able sponsors. Earl Wilson, Sr., and Earl Wilson, Jr., did the photography. The Peoria Engraving Company, Peoria, did our engraving; and the Huston-Patterson Corporation, Decatur, did the binding and printing. « 16 »
