CLASS OF 1952 proud of achievements Twelve years ago a group of timid, un- learned youngsters began their tour through the realms of education. Analogous to a sight-seeing tour, it was initiated with all the energy and enthusiasm of youth catching its first glimpse of something new. The various books, the everchanging teachers, the new clothes and certain incidents now thought of as commonplace, such as buying a new pencil, brought effervescent joys to these kids. After a while the newness began to wear off, the never-ending homework and every- day drudgery became monotonous, and all the necessary painstaking efforts of school life revealed themselves. Of course there were the dates and the parties and all the other gay times that helped them survive the trying ordeals and discouraging moments of education. Today these timid, ignorant youngsters are the confident and capable seniors of E. H. S.g and if you asked any one of them, they would be very sure of themselves when they replied that it was well worth their efforts. They would not be so sure of themselves, however, if they were asked to say whether or not they are glad it is over. All these years they have waited patiently to become seniors, and now they are not sure whether they should be glad or sad. At any rate, they were not idle during their last year of high school. In athletics, agriculture, forensics, music, and scholarship, as well as the numerous other activities in which they participated, they received more than an average number of awards and honors. Now, as they are about to graduate, the seniors can look back over their past and have a justifiable sense of achievement and pride in a job well done. Franklin D. Anderson Betsy Bacon Glenn E.
