‘.AV. ‘ 2 Dedication We, the Journalism class of 1951-52, wish to dedicate our annual to the new school addition. Although our class does not benefit from it, we shall have the satis- faction as citizens of tomorrow, of knowing that the future generations will profit greatly through it. For the past three hundred years in the history of our country the trend has been towards progress. This is surely a step forward.

Since 1910, when Croswell High School was built, many improvements have been made. Some of these are the gymnasium, the athletic field lights and a new addition to the school building, to be ready for use next fall. These improvements have done much toward advancing the educational facilities at Croswell-Lexington High School.

Page 16 Junior Class Officers Standing—Bob Burch, Scott Beem Seated, left to right—Dick Dickensheets, Ray Avery The junior class entered the halls of Croswell-Lexington High School in September of 1949. The sophomores welcomed us with an initiation party, which was the big event of the year. We, in turn, in our sophomore year initiated the freshman class. In September we came back to school to begin the many activities of our Junior year. Shortly after returning to school we received our class rings. The activities that we carried on included our magazine sale, the class play, “We Shook the Family Tree, directed by Mr. Crawford, the Christmas Ball, and the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Our sponsors for the year were Mr. Howell and Mrs. Pomeroy. We, the class of '53', wish the class of '52' a silver lining back of every cloud they see.
