Choose them as you will, or leave themg and according to our choice so is life. foreword TIME Oh Time, you creep on endlessly With careful steps and slow, And yet, we never seem to be Aware that you will go. Machines are such that we may stop Them if we wish it sog But quite regardless of our wish You go, and go, and go. Just where you go we cannot know, E'en though we try to find, And still, you push on, ever on, A-leaving us behind. So, we must learn to hurry, too, And do what we must do, E'en though the days allotted us May sometimes seem so few. by Ellie Mack e icuiion Where now to look to find that peace so rare, When earth is darkened by the cloud of war, And all men's thoughts are flung into despair By death, brought near by cannons' deafening roar? When fear and doubt and pestilence and pain O'ershadow goodness, faith and charity, And over mortals minds as kings do reign, The world seems dark to all humanity. But must this last forever? There will be Some future time when peace will reign supreme In all rnen's minds, though difficult to see Beyond the void of war's relentless scheme. When hateful, selfish thoughts toward others cease, Then only will we gain the perfect peace. Nancy Reading board of education To many of us, the School Board is the mysterious name which authorizes much of the activity of the school. Although not really mysterious, for it is made up of persons well known to us, the Board works long and hard on the business of the school. This year the building of the new elementary school has meant added work. We owe a vote of thanks and ap- preciation to our School Board for their splendid work. Mrs. Standeven Mrs. Brewer Mrsl Shumway Mr. Cain Mr. Potter Mr. Willert Mr. Bean Mr. Wechter Mr. Graves 5 udminisiruiion The Class of 1952 is about to write Finis to an important chapter in its his- tory. lt has been an exciting twelve year story and its conclusion is doubtlessly stimulating and satisfying. The next chap- ter concerns the Future and its promise is compelling. Best wishes to you all in your endeavors. 6 Q 7yz4,-raft, This book is a record of what you have counted as significant. Now you begin to look ahead, to see a troubled and uncertain world. Time for mili- tary training appears as part of your life. You realize that the opportuni- ties offered and the Freedom we all enjoy must be guarded even with our lives. There has never been a time when more choices for a life of work and adventure existed. Expanding fields of scientific activity in Electronics, Chemistry, and Engineering need people trained in these fields and eager to work. Advances in produc- tion call for more trained people to sell and service new products. There is great need for more well prepared teachers. As you leave here, remembering the obligation to give as you receive, you will find a place for yourself where you will be happy and success- ful. We here in E.A.H.S. believe in you and wish only the best for you. KQMNXM Mn gl! i d Work, perseverance, and patience are three things I hope you have learned from your school experience. If you have these three qualities, I am sure you will go a long way in life. Lacking any one of the three To the Class of l952.. Congratulating you holds special significance and pleasure Congratulations Class of 1952. May you have enjoyed your high school days as much as we have enjoyed having you here. It is our sincere hope that the education you have received will help you to find your place in society and to become a worthy member of that group. Good luck and best wishes to each of you. you will not climb very far. Take time to reflect on this and some day when the going seems rough, you will find in the end you will win. What has gotten you this far? Work, per- severance, and patience. ivfflfiaa because a brief six years ago we became members of East Aurora High School together. How quickly those years have nurtured you to greater maturity, carrying both you and me through a whirlwind of activities. Those years of friendship, mutual counsel and efforts shared will long be cherished. Best wishes always. You have chosen an endless theme, Time . Poets and philosophers have vied with scientists for an explanation, yet the veriest child knows its mystery. Ben Franklin said, You value life? Then value time, for time's the stuff 1ife's made of. The poet said of Civil War days, These are the times that try men's souls. A statesman strives for Peace in our time. In moments of great happiness, you will say, Time, you old gypsy man, will you not stay, Put up your caravan just for a day? But always we can carry on when we remember that Our times are in Thy hand, O Lord. L?'l'lovulo-mn so PM. senior advisors Mr. Kelver My Time is Your Time was the theme song of Mr. Beebe as an advisor of the senior class. His interest, enthusiasm, and willingness to help us, added greatly to the success and en- joyment of our senior year. As time goes by, we shall remember his kindness, his leadership, and his understanding of our problems.

We would like to share a few of them with you. Perhaps you would like to see how we grew from kindergardners into proud Seniors. For most youngsters the word kindergarten is almost a synonym for the trapeeze set by the window. It was no different with us. We stood in fear and awe of it for a long time but one of us, Bob Thur, had no such inhibitions. He climbed all over it like a little monkey, thus becoming the hero of those happydays. We made butter too, each taking a churn or two at it. What muscles our grandmothers must have had! Our butter never hardened! Forward we marched into first grade where we met Miss Carpenter, Miss Morten and Miss Keefe. We built a lovely house of orange crates and there we kept ourselves very well. When Christmas rolled around, we made lovely little candles for our mothers. They really worked, too. The next year we were happy to find our teachers had learned enough to move up with us. In third grade we were officially introduced to Nature by our new teacher, Mrs. Bartram. While the rest of us were learning the bird charts, Judy Shumway left us for the blue grass country. During this year Virginia Burdick had appendicitis and we all sent her get well cards. What we remember most from fourth grade is the wonderful picnics we had at the end of the year. One of them was heldat John Herman's, another at Sally Smith's. Our fifth grade year was most eventful. We passed classes just like the high school and we had lockers that locked! We learned-tcTwrite from Mrs. Mileham. Our dramatic attempts that year were Father Tirne's Birthday starring Fred Haines, and The Wilful Princess starring Virginia Burdick, John Herman, and Bill McGill. Sixth gradeia-rrived making us the top men on the totem pole of elementary school. We still passed for classes and we still had lockers. Turning our hand at journalism we edited a bi-yearly paper, The Spinner. We will never forget the wonderful hours we spent listening to Mrs. Roberson read us The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come. It was really a thrill for us when we heard Miss Iris Coates was to be married. We collected money and spent much time picking out suitable gifts. One of the most worth-while lessons we learned in sixth grade was how to help in the library. In June a few of us assisted with inventory. We're afraid our teachers never really decided whether we did this to because of our sincere interest' in library work or because we would miss classes. The crowning glory of our year was our operetta The Forest Court. 38 We all remember Jack McNulty's futil attempts to sit down in his turtle shell. ,Only a few of us noticed Dick Howell's self-conscious addition to his speech addressing Adie Young, The Queen of the Rippling Waters. We older children guided the youngsters in the cafeteria at noon. We caught the first graders kissing in the hall, too. The younger generation! We fear we suffered few pangs of regret at leaving elementary school. We were too eager to be up and doing., and so we passed into Junior High. Sad and strange to note, after we left fifth and later sixth grade, the practice of passing classes and locking lockers was discontinued. We wonder why? Seventh grade marked the start of the General Language course. We who were guinea pigs will never forget the ominous Hatching of the Egg and the I, P. T.B.I. 's. We have always been grateful to Mrs. Hamilton though, for the fine start she gave us in languages. She was also our seventh grade advisor. Another first for us, we were Mr. Moore's first seventh grade. Eighth grade was highlighted by an argument in Mr. Hickey's math class as to whether the girls should wear skirts or dungaree's to our skating party. It was led by Virginia Burdick who was in favor of skirts and Joan Budgen favoring dungarees. Both these years our class was ably led by Bill Graham. We sadly bid good-bye to our classmate Adie Young who left to go to Troy. As freshmen, it greatly added to our sense of dignity to find ourselves seated in the center section of the auditorium for assemblies. This year our social activities broadened. Besides a skating party, we had a dance, Freshman Frolic and we made some profit! This year Nellie Brown was our president and Mrs. Peek was our advisor. This, our sophomore year was beyond doubt the best. We attribute it to the fact that a girl, Barb DiGangi, was our president. This was a big year for we became real Senior Highers. It was a great social year but we fear little learning was done. We sponsered the Rainbow Whirl, an even, greater success than last year's dance. Our Junior year was busy and exciting. Our first project was the Sadie Hawkins Dance, Schmooes blossomed everywhere. Barb Lawrence and Walt Nicoloff were chosen Daisy Mae and Li'l Abner. Later we tackled the first really big job of our high school years. We jumped into preparation for the Junior Play with a determination to overcome the handicap of desk seats in our auditorium. QThey seem to have the pyschological effect of scaring adults away. I We had many advantages however. Our play Spring Green was well directed by Miss Dorothy Dillon. Our committies really pitched in and worked. We can proudly say that Spring Green was a real success. Another project followed hard on the heels of our play. The Junior - Senior Prom confronted us. We dubbed it Garden Party and proceeded to make it live up to the standards set by other proms. A little before this we had taken a breather to see twelve members of our class enter the Senior National Honor Society. Jack McNulty was Junior president. As we reached the last stretch of our life at E.A, , we were a little bewildered by the sudden pile of responsibilities which descended on us. Soon, however, we rose out of the cloud of locker dues, applications for college and jobs, orders for graduation announcements, personal cards, project sheets, and other such matters, to try our hand at magazine sales. We soon found that we were not for selling magazines. However, Evelyn Bull won a lovely statue for highest sales in the class. November brought Christmas card sales and December brought planning for the New Year's Eve Dance. The dance was purely a social success. Our Leap Year Dance, the Big Leap, was great fun and lots of gals got their guys that night! As a money making venture we sold refreshrnents at all the basketball and football games. Important names were everywhere in our senior class. Nelson Brown, president of the Student Council and Klaus Gail, president of the Senior Class are examples. The success of our Senior year has depended a great deal on the assistance and guidance of Mr. Nisita, Mrs. Peek, Mr. Beebe, Mr. Moore and Miss Stambro. As we have looked back through the pages of the past, we have recalled some wonderful years. We of the Senior Class hope that the years will rollby for succeeding classes as smoothly and happily as they have for us. W , i wifes Q li' if 9,2 49' ' 5 X A W ...- l .... ,,.- ..... gn?

Look into Time's Hour Glass See what's happened to your class. Has that unknown name now grown To a name that's world reknown? In the flowing sands of Time See friends passing, yours and mine. In the year of '62 Let us see, have dreams come true? Marie Basil, we found, is known near and far As a commercial artist and a singing star. Elvera Kalle has a two-fold career She's a model in New York, and a secretary here. When greeting our friends, we missed Nancy Dye, She's a Wave now, and has a rank quite high. A good looking engineer we managed to hail Nor were we surprised to find him Klaus Gail. Another surprise, if this you can feature, Is that Gringo Graham is now a gym teacher. Carrie Edmunds has won all the honors in Phys. Ed. She's playing pro football, at least so 'tis said. Barb Baker is the world's second Salivador Dolli. But then, we knew all along her art wasn't folly. Our daydreaming Sweet, believe it or not, Is now a great teacher, and loves every wee liyyle tot. Di Foss is now singing in New Mexico, She's enjoying herself, while making the dough. Poor Mrs. Peek, she's really not well, Ron Creps broke her heart when he broke her dear bell. While walking around we heard a laugh almost forgotten, It was that love, loaf, and laughter girl, Twyla Ann Cotton. Bob Smith is one guy we can't figure out! His ambit'on is bachelorhood, Qbut his success we doubts 41 Fizby Crosby, a chemical engineer, Has been breaking golf records far and near. However though, there's one he's not broken, Richard Howell has won the Open. At last Laurie's happy-she's reached her ambition, As a great Power's model, she's sweeping the nation.

Pupils who can meet these qualifications are inducted at the end of their sophomore year. One function of the group is performing services for the school. This year the National Honor Society members have set a precedent they hope will be continued in the years to come. Besides having the annual installations, dinner, and open house, this year's members began tutoring under graduates who were having trouble in particular subjects, the members, having given freely of their own study time to help others raise their scholastic standing, dsscovered that to teach is to learn!

The money collected during this time was sent to the National Children's Fund or used as a service fund. The project for Dec- ember was the filling fo Christmas baskets. This was a big success, with 35 baskets going to needy families in this area. In February, 80 gift boxes were filled and sent to children in Europe. In addition to the regular activities, cookies, popcorn balls, nut cups, and decorations were made for the Veteran's'Hospital by the home economics classes, the mechanical drawing classes, the Art Club, and the FHA. Also, a group of 12 boys and girls sang for several Sunday chapel services, and several students groups entertained at evening programs in the hospital.

The paper has tried to keep on a regular three-week schedule for issuance, a newly-established record since we have printed the paper in school. Under Eleanor Mack, editor, assignment conferences were held in 316, approximately every two weeks. The staff tried to improve the arrangement of the paper and the quality of various types of writing. Miss Dorothy Dillon, adviser, was assisted by Miss Nancy Vogt and Mr. Carl Norberg. Mrs. Robert Parker, Miss Alice Lovell, and Mr. Wayne Getman have taken care of the technical staffs concerned with typing, off-set lithographing, and distribution. 55 Row 1: Joan Hurd, Lois Berg, Donna McGrath, Jean Purdy, Laurie Freeman, Norma Jean Kern, Miss Metz.

The Student Council started the 1951-1952. year with President Nelson Brown, Vice-president Walter Nicoloff, Secretary Mary Lou Lehrnann, and a completely new set-up of senators and representatives. There were new by laws to work with. They now have five committees in the house and five in the senate. Each committee is presided over by a secretary, and each secreta is a member of the president's cabinet. Representatives are elected for two years, so that they will have a knowledge of the Student Council to pass on to new members. The Council sponsored a dance after the Hamburg game and a Sports Fest. The proceeds will be used to help the school in some way. Seated: Marjorie Nelson, Jack McNulty, Carol Boldt, Frank Betts, Sue Wyatt.

The varsity team this year had a compelling spirit and desire to Win which was evident throughout the season. The Blue Devil started the 1951 season with a tie with Eden and a win over Williamsville before dropping their first game of the season to Depew. Following the Depew game the Aurorans defeated unbeaten Lancaster who had beat Hamburg the previous week. The Aurorans lost to both West Seneca and Amherst by a touchdown, to make the season's record 2. won, l tied and 3 lost. The Hamburg game was cancelled because of poor weather conditions, this year.

It takes a long time to become expert in this field, but for a group of girls working for three years in the same league, has meant lots of fun, even though we didn't achieve our hopeless aim of that beloved 300 . Under the consistent guidance of Mrs. Mable Wallenwein, we learned the rules and to abide by them. Our banquets and tournaments were looked forward to and we have only one regret---that this is our last year together. Best of luck to all those who venture into the future bowling world. 1 w Alice Eckel Jean Purdy Barb DiGangi Dana Alexander 78 volleyball Mrs. Morgan directed a lively volleyball intramural program this year.
