Class History This is the story of a journey that began in the fall of 1952. There were 31 pupils enrolled in our class, nine of whom came from Hurley School. We entered the long hallways, a little timid at first, but we soon overcame this shyness and made many friends. Little did we realize the hard work we had to ac- complish before we received our reward, the diploma. Our first thought was how our class should be governed. We organized ourselves and chose as class officers: President, Carolyn Steel; Vice-President, Vernon Davis; Secretary, Lois Hamilton; Treasurer, Doris McDaniel; Advisor, Mrs. Carl Price. Several members of our class lettered in basketball, football, and baseball. We started our second year with only 27 boys and girls. This year was not nearly as complicated as the first since we were familiar with our new way of life. This year we chose as class leaders: President, Nel- son Myers; Vice-President, Bobby Cashion; Secre- tary, Richard Cooley; Treasurer, Gary Goodman; Advisor, Mr. John D. Sims. Six girls of our class had the honor of serving at the Junior-Senior Banquet. We also published a school paper. Our Junior Year was a busy one as we had the Junior-Senior Banquet to plan. As projects to raise money we sold magazines, presented the Sauline Players, and gave a Junior Play entitled Gone With The Girls.” The cast included Irene Hodge, Carolyn Eller, Carolyn Shuping, Leon Owens, John Wilhelm, Rosie N. Bollinger, Doris McDaniel, Carolyn Steele, Locke Steele, Martha Steele, and Bobby Cashion. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Mary Ligon. Marshals from the Junior Class were: Carolyn Steele, Chief; Doris McDaniel, Carol Dillon, Joanne Taylor, Jean Davis, Gary Goodman, and Charles Brown. Two new members joined our class this year— Joanne Taylor from Glassport High School in Penn- sylvania, and Jean Davis from Boyden High School in Salisbury. Although we gained two new class members, we lost several due to marriage. Two members of our class, Carolyn Steele and Lorene Cranfield, were invited to join the Beta Club. To guide us through this year we chose as class officers: Carolyn Steele, President; Leon Owens, Vice-President; Bobby Cashion, Secretary; Carolyn Shuping, Treasurer; Mrs. Mary Ligon, Advisor. At last we had almost reached our destination and we were Seniors. As class leaders we chose: Joanne Taylor, Presi- dent; Doris McDaniel, Vice-President; Carolyn Steele, Secretary-Treasurer; Carolyn Shuping, Reporter; and Mrs. Mary Hannah, Advisor. We have two important projects this year—pub- lishing the Clevana and graduating. Nine members of our class, Joel Barringer, John Wilhelm, Richard Cooley, Jackie Hodge, Carol Dil- lon, Doris McDaniel, Martha Steele, Irene Hodge, and Nelson Myers will receive sweaters for partici- pation in sports. We are on the last lap of our long journey and are happily awaiting the day we will receive our diplomas. To all the teachers, parents, and classmates, we wish to express our gratitude for helping us through our hardships to that long-awaited graduation day. As we face the future and reach for higher goals, we want to say Thanks” to all those who have helped us make our journey successful. Carol Dillon Historian

Class Poem Dream not too much of what you’ll do tomorrow, How well you’ll work perhaps another year. Tomorrow's chance you do not need to borrow. Think not too much of mountains you will master The while you linger in the vale be low. To dream is well, but plodding brings us faster, To where we go. Swear not to break some habit's fetter When the old year is dead and passed away. If you have need of living wiser, better. Begin today!
