CLASS POEM We, the seniors, have gloomy faces And tears come rushing in our eyes, For soon others will take our places Then they will echo our sad good-byes. We shall roam these school grounds no moreg We have passed the tests and made our score. Now looking back at all of you We remember the things we did, And those we didn't do. Opportunities have beckoned to all, Some heeded not, still others answered the call, Fortune and fame may come our wayg We shall look for the bestg this is our day. As we leave our school and onward go, We look for a higher sung A We are now reminded of our class motto, Not finished, just begun! Vida Kennedy CLASS MOTTO: Not finished, just begun! CLASS COLORS: Blue and White - FLOWER: White Carnation

CLASS SDNG Tune: Ctvioments To Rememberj January to December, Chorus: The days we've spent together here, Will linger on for many a year, We'l1 have these moments to remember. The quiet walks, the noisy fun, the schoolroom prize we almost won We'11 have these moments to remember. Tho' summer turns to winter and the present disappears, The laughter we were glad to share will echo thru the years. When other nights and other days may find us gone our sep'rate ways, We'11 have these moments to remember. Betty Everhart Joyce Snider MASCOTS

CLASS HISTORY For twelve long and successful years we have waited for this day--graduation. It is necessary, we feel, that some of our most precious memories be recorded in this--our Class History. In the fall of 1952, seventy-two awkward and eager boys and girls began their high school journey. Since there were so many of us, it was necessary that we were divided, the girls in Mrs. Kathleen Ayers' home room and the boys in Mr. J. E. Lippard's room. This year was a success, owing to the leadership of our class officers: President- Linda Smithg Vice-President- Emilie Hedrick, Secretary- Jo Ann Anderson, Treasurer- Martha Younts. We began our Sophomore year with a total of sixty members. Our leaders this year were Mrs. Grace Payne and Mr. Leonard Cashion. Our Class Officers were: President- Linda Cooper Vice-President- Dale Hedrick, Secretary- Vida Kennedy, Treasurer- Willard Thompson. Our Junior year began under the capable guidance of Miss Marie Bondurant. The class was led by our very competent class officers: President- Linda Cooper, Vice-President- Martha Yountsg Secretary- Vida Kennedyg and Treasurer- Willard Thompson. Our many activities included: presenting our class play, For Pete's Sake! , giving and attending the Junior-Senior Banquet, giving a Chicken Pie Supper, entering a float in the Armistice Day parade, attending a return party given by the Seniors, and having a class party at Reynold's Park, The summer passed swiftly and we returned in the fall for the last step of our journey with thirty-six dignified seniors. Our class was led by a very patient and understanding advisor, Mrs. Eula A. Ivey, and our class officers: President- Dale Hedrick, Vice-President- Vida Kennedy, Secretary- Frances May, and Treasurer- Willard Thompson. Some of the many highlights of this year were: publishing an annual, Sleriting Our mascots, Nancy Young and Stevie Edwards, giving a Halloween play, The Ghost Wore White , giving a Chicken Pie Supper, going on the Senior trip, attending the Junior- Senior Banquet, and preparing graduation exercises. It is with feelings of sorrow and pride that we take our departure and say farewell for the last time, sorrow because we must leave our beloved friends, our teachers, and fellow classmates, pride in our achievements and in our success.
