In addition, Rennie Erickson was a member of the cheerleading squad. The fact that the class of '52 has plenty of brains can- not be overlooked. Our high nercentage of A's and B's, and and several straight A students kent us well represented on the honor roll. we attended most of the school parties and took our noses out of our books long enough to nlan a sleigh ride party for the whole school on February 13th. The frosh look like they have many bright prosnects for the future, and hope to make a glowing record as sonhomores next year.
