Through the years we have known her, she. has always encouraged us to push forward and make a place in life. Because she has been such a wonderful sponsor and helped us so much through our last years of school, we shall always remember her. Superintendent's Message It is the tragedy of this age that whole races of men seem to have sunk into a faithless surrender to fatalism and a confused despair. They feel that they have lost control over their own destiny - - that war, tyranny and personal bewilderment have swallowed them up and tossed them about like hopeless robots. They follow false prophets of Godlessness and materialism. You must battle the ideologies and philosophies of imposed destiny and disbelief, in order to save and utilize your immortal soul and the power we call God. You may have to search hard, in this disbelieving time, to discover religious beliefs that can and will sustain you throughout life. You may find it in prayer and in silent meditation; you find it in the teachings of the Bible and those philosophers whose secrets of the good life stand the test of modern psychology and today's problems. I urge you to work out a code to live by and a faith that will sustain you in the hour of trial. See if you cannot find for yourself the faith that says, as does Philippians ia:13 - - I can do al2{jthings through Christ which strengtheneth me. Principal's M ssade Well done, seniors. In compiling this annual you have made another fine contribution which is added to the many fine contributions you have made to the school in the past twelve years. I do not, however, look upon this fine piece of work as a climax-to the exercising of your abilities, but rather regard it as a beginning to the adult life of which you have now become a part. Too often people are inclined to regard graduation from high school as an end within itself. This, however, is far from being the right viewpoint to take. World conditions of today make it imperative that high school graduation become a beginning and not an end. The high school senior of today is the world citizen of tomorrow . Our very existence as a free democratic nation depends upon your integrity and good common reasoning. I have faith in you. This faith has been inspired by the very fact of seeing you apply your talents and abilities. Again I say, Well done, seniors 1 Leroy Bowdoin Principal MISS M. LOWRANCE MR. J. MEADOW MISS L.

Anxious mothers waited around to see how their child was going to react to school. We were pretty scared and timid at first but we soon got to know and love our teacher, Miss Jem Pickett. One of our most striking mirrors of these years besides the hair-pulling line was the gardens situated below each window with their significant names, chewing gum garden, knife garden, marble garden, and so forth, in which went all the articles whenever we were found with them. These gardens were often harvested by us after school. At last this first great step in the ladder of learning was taken and we brought our report cards home for the last time from the first grade. After the happy liberty of vacation there assembled inside the second grade schoolroom a sadder and wiser group than a year ago, having learned that there is no royal road to learning, ready to again plunge into the schoolroom of the year, finding it a great deal more exact and strenuous than the first grade introductions to learning. Well, we had begun the climb. We steadily toiled through the second, third, fourth and were very proud to have attained the honored rank of fifth-graders. We could tell those fourth-graders and the children in the low grades a thing or two, although there were still those sixth-graders. Well, as time and the class passed on, we found that we had reached the goal. We were sixth-graders, king of grammar school, but we found that now there was a new opponent to face, the seventh-grade, who had now advanced to the upstairs section of the building We would get there soon, we advanced with a surer step through the work and fun of the sixth-grade, with Mrs. Addie Byrd cramming as much knowledge as possible through our hard heads to prepare us for the important high school years ahead. That next year there appeared inside the upstairs seventh-grade schoolroom a combination of frightened, timid, wondering, curious, proud and excited students. We were now upstairs. We had left the grammar school behind. We called ourselves Junior High. It was a great change from grammar school where one teacher taught you all day in the same room to switching teachers and rooms. We were a little confused at first but we soon learned. The next two years we each had our trials and troubles which we now found we could blame not only on one teacher but on any in a whole variety of them. Then at long last came real high school, the Freshman Class of '48. Before we could fully assert this we had to be duly initiated into this honored realm by the seniors. It was rough wearing those croker sacks and the other equipment but we survived. Now we had a real variety of classrooms and could send two representatives to the newly organized Student Government's Council. We realized that we had a real showing for our work at the end of that year as we proudly examined the number of credits we had attained toward graduation. The next year, as sophomores, we really began in earnest to work toward our already well-proposed plan to take a trip to Washington in our senior year. We worked and planned ourselves through that year and into the next when as Juniors we found we had the very important responsibility of presenting the Junior Play, but even beyond this loomed the Junior-Senior Banquet. This is the most feared expense of the entire school cycle. The question was, could we prepare to meet this expense without a fated drain on the treasure which might greatly endanger the hoped-for trip to Washington. So with this in mind we plunged into the Junior year with great hope and zest and energy toward this goal with the guidance and counsel of our sponsor, Miss Margie Lowrance. These obstacles were surmounted with flying surprising success according to compliments from the people who attended. We found, at the end of the year enough money to pay for the banquet. We now launched, at the beginning of the next school year, with the counseling and backing of our sponsor, Mrs. Kathryn Stubbs, on the crowning height of our entire school career, our senior year. At the end of this year stood one of the greatest goals of all, our graduation. Class Prophecy While home on leave from the U. S. Air Force, I, Wylene Laramore decided to check up on my classmates of '52. I saw Mrs. Joyce Millender Crum and her husband and two kids riding in their 1962 Ford. Miss Betty Jean Barber is now the Superintendent of Nurses in Eastpoint. She and Mr. Bill Osborne plan to be married sometime in June. I read where Mr. Max Allen is director and actor of the Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California. The Messer Thompson Circus is the number one Circus in the world. They have toured Europe and Asia and are planning for a tour in South America. Mr. Mike Harless. Editor of the Florida Times Union, is also business manager for his wife, Mrs. Imogene Robison Harless, who is a famous concert pianist. Myl Who is the sailor I see coming this way? why. it's none other than Admiral Eugene Smith. Max Kilbourn is professor of Yale . He has announced the birth of his son Einstien, Jr. I saw Policeman Leroy Dearinger arresting Dudley Grimes for beating his time with the girls. Yes, this is the Class of ’52 in the year 62. Mrs. Stubbs, we hope you aren’t too disappointed in us. FACULTY FAREWELLS Do the best you can. The forests would be very quiet if all the birds were quiet except the best singers. Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. When you have accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace; God is awake. --Ruth Hance 1 wish for you real joy and happiness, which comes not from taking life easy becoming rich, or famous, but from doing something worth while-making the world a little better because you've lived in it. —Sara Fite Life is a pleasant institution when you enter into it, take with you your all, you cannot rise above your achievement, nor can you fly higher than your hope. ” -- The Prophet by Gibran To you. Seniors, I wish you good luck. --Ted Cooper Don't know what THE TARPON TALES will do without you next year!! We shall miss you very much, but I hope that you will never be satisfied until you reach the top . Remember that I think you're tops--don't disappoint me. With my warmest regards and best wishes. --Louise McMullian To the Seniors of '52 I wish for each of you atusy and successful life. Because it is within the power of each of you, make your life count for great things. Remember that you mean so much to the present and future life of Carrabelle School. It will continue to open the doors of welcome to a class that has meant so much to it. With my warm personal regards. --Margie V. Lowrance Farewell to one of the nicest, hardest working and most co-operative classes I have ever seen. To me each of you is somebody very extra special and my thoughts and best wishes will go with you wherever you go. --Kathryn Stubbs Seniors of '52 as you leave your high school days behind, you are leaving something of yourselves that will have its influence on this school for many years to come. May success come to each of you in your chosen work--not the success that comes from power and wealth, but that which is measured in terms of service and love for humanity. As 1 say farewell to you and bid God speed you on your way, I can think of no better advice to give you than these words of a great poet: This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. ” --Margaret Young We all are blind until we see That in the human plan Nothing is worth the making if It does not make the man. Why build these cities glorious If man unbuilded goes? In vain we build the world, unless The builder also grows. --Markham --Joe W.
