On that memorable day, September 9, just four years ago, a group of green, frightened freshmen entered Room 34 at Eureka High School. We were glad that we didn’t have to be initiated into high school, but we were still filled with awe. We elected our class officers, with the help of Mrs. Charles Winborn, our home-room teacher. They were: Barbara Bartlett, president; Ann Sauls, vice-president; Shirley Murray, secretary; and Jimmy Winders, treasurer. As Freshmen, we were elated to have three girls and one boy on the basketball teams. During the year, we entertained the Senior class with a chicken fry at Mrs. Winborn’s home. Four of our class-members accompanied the Seniors to Washington on a sight-seeing trip. Our Sophomore year wasn’t too eventful. We were stiU trying to learn. Again, we elected our class officers. They were: Shirley Murray, president; Ann Sauls, vice- president; Wilhelmina Chase, secretary; and Peggy Bradshaw, treasurer. Mrs. Bessie B. Bradshaw was our home-room teacher. During the year, we took the Seniors to White Fake. Our number on the basketball teams also increased. We had four girls and five boys. We were very proud of these boys and girls. We entered our Junior year at Eureka High with an elated spirit. Mary Daily Morris joined us at the beginning of the year. Our sponsor this time was Miss Janice Sasser. We presented our play and gave the Junior-Senior Banquet under her leadership. About the first thing we did was to elect class officers in our Junior year. They were: Charles Davis, president; Ann Sauls, vice-president; Wilhelmina Chase, secretary; and Billy Fangston, treasurer. Next came the very important business of presenting our Junior play, Aunt Susie Shoots the Works.” It was very successful. We really enjoyed practicing for this play. Miss Sasser directed us. Next, as Juniors, we were giving the Junior-Senior Banquet. We had waited so long for this impressive event. We had our banquet in the gymnasium, the first class banquet to be presented there. We decorated it, and were very pleased with the results. This was a real highlight in our lives. After our summer vacation had quickly passed, we were happy to return to school and be greeted once -more by our cheerful classmates. AH were happy because we were Seniors. First, as Seniors, we elected our class officers. They were: Mary Daily Morris, president; Ann Sauls, vice-president; Shirley Murray, secretary; and Charles Davis, treasurer. Mrs. Sam Martin was our Senior sponsor. Now we all began thinking about our Senior play. After much debating, we decided to present Aunt Tillie Goes to Town.” It was very successful. Mrs. Martin and Mr. Robinson directed it. Next came the task of publishing the third edition of the Eu-Re-Hi-Ke-Daze. It has proved a task, indeed. Even though it was work, we are glad we had the privilege to publish it. It was something that we knew we had made. Now we want to express our appreciation to Mr. Talton W. Jones, our principal and Economics teacher; to MrS. Sam Martin, our Senior sponsor, French, and English teacher; Miss Janice Sasser, Home Economics teacher; Mr. Orville Robinson, Com- mercial teacher; and Mr. W. J. Peterson, Algebra, Chemistry teacher and basketball coach. As we go forward into a new life, we will always appreciate their understanding and patience throughout our happiest years. Mary Daily Morris Ann Sauls

Class Motto Not For Ourselves, But For Others” Class Flower Red Rose Class Colors Red and White Class Poem We, the Seniors of ’52, Graduate with a smile to you; For it was you who gave us the courage to face those problems that were not trimmed with lace. It was you helped us most; You, who struggled with us to this very post. We realize that we face a future that can’t always be bright; but thank you so much for holding high for us our light. May we take it now and carry it with us; for we know now that leave you we must. So farewell to you now, farewell to you all; And thanks for so faithfully answering our every call. by Barbara R. Bartlett
