• • • VNI) IN PARTING, LEAVE RE II IN I) US TWO FOOTPRINTS IN THE SANDS OF TIME:” LONGFELLOW The poet tells us that in departing we leave behind us footprints in the sands of time.” The sands of the 1951-1952 school year show many an imprint, some that are strong and bold and others that are slight and faltering. Look! Here are three sets of footprints going off in different directions. One set returns to commencement night, May 23; another, the start of the senior trip. May 11; and the other, the senior play, Men Are Like Street Cars, April 25. There are many more. Some lead us to the juniors’ Blossom Time Ball, May 2; some, to the sophomore-junior Pillsbury Pancake Supper, April 4; others, to the end of the basketball season and the tournament, to class parties, and even back to the Sunshine initiation early in the fall. Does it strike your fancy, this retracing of the footprints in the sands of time? Turn the following pages, then, and follow to your heart's desire. Congratulations to the 1952 Class on a job well done. The Barnhart-Van Trump Co. Rochester, Ind. Pjge Tbrte CONTENTS Administration C. W.

Instead of an outdoor picnic, the group enjoyed a pot-luck dinner at the Honeywell Memorial Building in Wabash. Every person present told of an outstanding experience during the summer, but the truth was to be shelved and the fantastic imagination to be called upon. The reports reminded many of the Servia Liars Contest. After the entertainment at the tables, County Recreation Director Don Moke led the group in various folk games. The faculty meeting just before Christmas was a Christmas party. Each person present contributed to the entertainment by telling or reading a Christmas story or poem or playing some favorite Christmas music. Refreshments were served. Pago Eight Compliments to the senior class—Oppenheims CLASSES Page Nine SENIOR OFFFICERS Left to right: Robert Gruwell, President; Lois Bickel, Treasurer; Gary Hare, Secretary; Walter Loucks, Vice-President. SENIOR Senior year is ever a busy one, and this one proved no exception to the rule. September 29 found all the seniors trooping off to Francis Slocum Park for a picnic. After the meal had been prepared and properly appreciated, group singing and dancing was enjoyed. The only casualty was the Hare limousine. At some of the early class meetings decisions were made concerning gowns and announcements. Early in October everyone put on his best face and sat for the photographer. At the Junior Halloween Carnival the public was given a hint of greater things to come when all the seniors took part in pantomimes. Several of the girls came back to school after Christmas vacation flashing diamonds. Some had definite wedding plans for the summer. Play practice began March 24. After five weeks of vigorous practice, a memorable performance was given April 25. From then until May 11 everyone was busy getting ready for the long anticipated senior trip. Important events followed rapidly. Baccalaureate service was May 18. Dr. Paul Bagwell of Michigan State College was the speaker for the commencement exercise, which was held May 23.

The cabinet with the sponsor, Miss Dingle, acting upon suggestions from the girls, decided on the program of study and fun for the year. The central topic was How to improve the teenage personality. Some of the programs for the different months included topics of health, appearance, manners, boy-girl relationships, hobbies and fun. One of the highlights of the year was the Christmas party, with a serious and a fun program and gift exchange. A spring party was planned near the close of school as the last roundup of 1951-1952.

The staff members and the rest of the class worked together to publish it. After the pictures had been returned from the engraver, the staff got down to work with the big job of identifications and write-ups. The copy of the En Em was then delivered to the printer, and everyone waited anxiously for the day of distribution. EN EM STAFF Left to right: Shirley Hathaway Beverly Lambert . Jerry Wetzel ...
