It's over. All at once the impact hits. The classes of '52 are alumni. XVC sub- tract ourselves from the l,llll students who have, with us, occupied the four stories of Eastern High and looked out its win- dows to the four points of the compass. lVe leave these miles of corridors whose echoes have lollowed us live hundred and forty days of our high school career. Much has happened since September I9-lil, when we - not very diliferent from the many various classes of rookies since H924 - were making our way through the labyrinth of halls to seventy teachers' classrooms. Fresh out of junior high we rushed to jump on the bandwagon - celebrating when our baseball and chess teams brought home the championships -- stepping in time as Company A cadets displayed the D.C. Competitive Drill lirst-place ribbon - pursuing or being captured in .-XY's Old-Maid Race - watching Scholastic art and journalism awards roll in - and squeeling in some parties, hayrides, and picnics. And then - juniors! Sure enough. YVC were whiued through the school year - cheering gremlins into mischief and the Twelfth Klan into action - congratulat- ing ourselves on our new assistant principal Mr. Lynn XVoodworth - SCROOCHing up the community with restoration of old homes on Capitol Hill - welcoming new pals, transfers from Central, no longer a part ol' Division I - pitting our musi- cians in the llamiton llank contest - and feelin' mighty proud ol' the team's and Coach NIentzer's city football champion- ship. All of a sudden - seniors! So much to do - trying a hand at being school of- ficers, speakers for democracy, and good citizens in the DAR pilgrimage - sending CARE packages to Europe. Maturity? XVe made attempts, but also carefully pre- served the senior's right to occasional friv- olity. With a real mountain caller's added color, we helped establish square dancing. A snowed-out Holly Hop failed to dampen holiday spirit at the dance a month later. Dixie reigned as rebels answered the call to arms by sporting Confederate insignia. The drift of pictures, prom tickets, class rings, and other paraphenalia which marks the graduate caught us. In a swift, piercing glance, we saw the abundance of memories left by these three crowded years in the red brick Tudor building.
