en iorfi Memoriesl They are all that remain for the Class of '52 Before saying a final farewell to their high school days, how- ever, the seniors loolced baclc over the last four years and reviewed the events that left lasting impressions on their minds. ' To start with they had the memory of their first day in Dixon l-ligh School. As Hfreshiesn they wandered the halls, hardly knowing where they were sup- posed to be and gazed in awe at the seniors, who seemed so big and im- portant to them. They remembered fresh- man initiation day, the green bows and ties and the unmatched stoclcings they wore and the way they carried upper- classmen's boolcs all day. Then came their first semester exams. l-low they dreaded theml When time for the 1949 Prom rolled around,a few of the present class dressed as Chinamen, added to the atmosphere which carried out the theme Oriental Gardens. They were proud of this honor as it is very seldom that a freshman gets to the Prom. The rest of the freshmen sat wide-eyed in the balcony, eagerly await- ing the day when they would be down- stairs dancing. They happily started their sophomore year with the comfortable feeling that they lcnew what they were doing now. They weren't the babies of the school any longer. After settling down they discovered that their sophomore year was going to be the least exciting of their four years. Nothing was really new and they weren't old enough to participate in many of the extra-curricular activities. They still had fun, however, just malcing new friends and getting better acquainted with their old ones and with their surroundings. Surprisingly soon came that day when they were full-fledged upper-classmen. They joined dramatic club, ag club, library club, mixed chorus and boys' and girls, choruses, started worlcing on the DIXINI, and received parts in 0ur Town and Fog Island. They put on the annual ,junior All- School party and will never forget that 10 chorus line of beautiful girls who danced in the variety show. It was com- posed of a few huslcy but talented males dressed in short sldrts. ln baslcetball Dixon beat Sterling for the first time since the Class of '59 had entered high school. Twice during the regular season the Dulces came out vic- torious against their arch rivals, only to have their dream of winning the regional tournament shattered as Sterling won by two points in the semi-finals. Almost immediately after thisithe juniors started planning for the Prom. They de- cided upon Down by the Qld Mill Stream as the theme, and the decorators went to work on the hundreds of flowers, the wishing well, the water wheel and the pastel-colored trees that transformed the gym on Prom night. Their first Prom, that all-important event on their calendar, was as exciting as they had expected it to be. Tired but happy they reported to envious under-classmen that they had had a wonderful timef' Their junior year ended in a flurry as exams, the Prom and graduation of the seniors claimed most of the time. Soon they will part and go their sepa- rate ways, but they have made the most they could of their four years. They have contributed what they were able to the school and have had fun doing it. They hope they have been a good class. They also hope, in years to come, the other classes will remember them and say, l hated to see them go. They were a won- derful class, that Class of '5Q. - . lk ts 1 I . 2 ' 1 1 I I' f l ix 1 'I Q ll vllki h , x aixy :
