SENIOR HISTORY Out of the Senior Class of 52 there are just ten of us who started together. During our first year we had with us: Lewis Smart, Marland Caudell, Don Comstock, Peggy Mullen, Mar- garet Becker, Joyce Camp, Carol Harpole, Steve Maragos, Pat Bright, Marlene Farrester and Jeanette Wherry. Of course, there were some shiftless ones like Don, Margaret and Marlene, who entered other schools but could not stay away and returned in future years. During our second year we picked up Bert Holt and Betty Vick. After struggling through two grades of school, we were all happy to enter the third grade and found that we had accumu- lated three new students; namely, Frank Rusk, Lionel Waits and Nancy Swanson. We entered our fourth year with new students, but none of them are with us now. Entering our fifth year, we managed somehow to pick up the one-and-only. Jim Van Ronk. Our class was up to full suength during our Sixth Grade. We accumulated no new students. At the beginning of our seventh year we thought that Taylorsville and Crescent Mills had in- vaded us, but these new students turned out to be from the various schools in Indian Valley and were to attend high school here. New students that year were: Harold Price, Bob Meg- inness, Gerald Delavan, Bob Stephenson, Loren Kingdom. Ronnie Logan, Nancy Whaler and Marjorie Young. We had big heads for awhile, but got over it as soon as we found out that we were not the only class in CBS. We entered school as Eighth Graders, acting like old-timers and looking down on the Sev- enth Graders that we knew envied us. That year we got two new students. They were Jesse Bush and Dick Boersig. Finally, we were Freshmen and members of the senior high. That is, we would be as soon as we were initiated by the Sophomores. And initiate us, they did! They had us running around like soldiers and acting like a fool every time they blew their whistle. We looked forward to the fact that we would be Sophomores next year and that we would be twice as mean to the freshmen. We were first to have a member of the Freshman class as a member of the Student Council. That was Bob Meginness who was Boys' Representative. Most of the C Championship Team consisted of Freshmen. . Finally, we were Sophomores with big ideas of revenge, but what happened? A new law went into effect, stating that there would be no more initiation. But we could have a party Continued

SENIOR HISTORY, CONT. welcoming them in. So a party it was! We picked up one new student during our Sopho- more year, who just happened to be Charles Pew. That year we staged the annual Sopho- more Hop which turned out a success. The theme for our Hop was Springtime. We finally became Juniors and took in three new students which completed the graduation class of 1952. They were Harold Cooper, Wayne Dietrich and Glenn Swindlehurst. During that year we staged the annual Junior Ptom which also turned out to be a success The theme for our prom was the Mardi Gras. A Junior girl, Betty Vick, was elected basket- ball queen. At the end of the year, we started the first of the annual Junior-Senior Ban- quets, held in honor of the graduating seniors. After the long struggle, we were finally Seniors--time to start ordering announcements and cards, pictures and caps and gowns. We had fun at our Big Wheel day, when all of the Seniors dressed formally to go to dinner. But now the time has finally come for Baccalaureate Services and Commencement Exer- cises. The time has dome for us Seniors to leave GHS,and go our respective ways in life.
