Sum Glas JWZWI We, the senior class of nineteen hundred and fifty-two, began our high school career in '48, with six eager members---Emily Smith, Dolly Faust, Eva Durkes, Janet McGowan, Bob McGowan, and Frank Means. As we were entirely ignorant of high school work, we were considered very nGreen Freshles.H We tried to prove that we were not so green as we were thought, but our attempt was in vain. Emily Smith is the only member of our class who can claim the distinguished honor of attending Butler School all the twelve years of her school life. Eva Durkes came to Butler when she was in the fifth grade, Dolly Faust came when she was in the sixth. Bob and Janet McGowan came when Bob was in the seventh and Janet in the flfth. Be- cause of illness, Janet was two years behind her twin brother, but she studied during the summers and made up her work. We were very happy when she joined our class at the beginning of the freshman year. Jane Powell entered our class in the sophomore year. Illness had retarded Jane one year. Frank Means left us during the junior year to attend Clay Township school. Leslie Sproal joined our class near the end of the junior year. Leslie came from Roann. Our class sponsor for the freshman year was Miss Roberts. During that year we all went home with Miss Roberts over night, and what a swell time we had! Mr. Funderburg sponsored us during the sophomore year. Mr. Boggs has been our very capable sponsor for our junior and senior years. As juniors, we participated in the nine-day Junior- Senior trip through the East. This was truly the climax of our four- year course. As seniors, we and the juniors made a two-day trip to Chicago. We members of the class of '52 have spent many happy hours in the halls of B. H. S. We have had lots of fun, but at the same time, we have gained much knowledge. It is with sorrow that we leave dear, old Butler. But with invigorated energy we step out into the world, hoping that we may meet successfully the challenges the world imposes upon us! WHEN FINAL EXAMS ARE ENDED With apologies to Klplingl When final exams are ended and the ink on our papers is dried, when the gay class colors have faded and the youngest alumnus has died, We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it! Lie down for an eon or two, Till the Master of all good teachers shall put ue to work anew. And those that ranked high shall be happy, they shall sit in a class- room fair And study whatever they wish to, with a mind as free as air. They shall find the world's great teachers, the lore of the years recall, . They shall work for an age at a lesson and never be tired at all. Khd only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame, And no one shall work for honors, and no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of working shall learn through eternity, Till the Master of truth and wisdom shall grant .him his last degree.
