1952 e - - THE PANTHER HISTORY The class of '52 entered grade school during the fall of 1940, and they were the last class to graduate from the little, old, red brick school house. The class participated in the rhythm band, operettas, plays, iunior band, and basketball. Grade school days were over, and the class started its high school career, September 7, 1948, With two members missing-Ann Louise Swyter became ill and Helen Whitney moved to Davenport-the class now numbered nine. Bob Jannot from Wilbur and Jim Larsh from Yakima joined us, making a class of eleven. . The members soon became active in the music groups, news staff, annual staff, sports and other extracurricular activities.

THE PANTHER i952 HISTORY lContinued1 Two members left the roll call, Nancy Whipple and Rosita Bercier. We had a booth at the fall Barbe-Q and sold cookies, pies, donuts, and candy. We also held a food raffle, and sold popcorn and pop at the basketball games. October 6, we initiated the freshmen, That night initiation was completed, followed by refreshments and dancing. The Junior class play, Let Me Out Of Here , was presented November 17, under the direction of Mr. Howard. A cast party was held following the per- formance. With much work we presented our Junior Prom, honoring the seniors, May 4. The theme Stairway To The Stars, was carried out from the winding stair- way to the silver colored stars. Del Hartman and his Gonzagans furnished the music, Georgia Anderson, Diana Parr, Billy Talkington, and Jimmy Swenson were flower girls and boys. The Junior escorts were Joyce Kindred, Darlene Miller, Nils Knapp, and Jack Heimbigner. The punch was served by Anita Barbre and John Maurer. Gloria Werner and Nils Knapp were given the honor of attending Girls and Boys State respectively, They were sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary and the American Legion. Jack Heimbigner was selected as a member of 'the first five basketball string at the North East District Tournament and was selected as a member of the 2nd string team in the State B Basketball Tournament. The Junior year was brought to end with our class party at Loon Lake. We will remember this year as being one of our best and most active. As the high school days near the end for the class of '52, we remember all the memorable activities we participated in during our last year at Har- rington High School. Three members, who had been with the class in previous years, ioined us: Jim Larsh, Ann Louise Swyter, who had been ill, and Alison Morris, who transferred from Californiag thus making the number of classmates fourteen. To lead the class, we elected the following officers: President ..,,,.....,...,.....,,,....,.,.,.... ..... . .. .,,,..,,. . ....., Nils Knapp Vice President ,.., ..... ..,..,..,,.

Dressed to Kill, our class play, was presented December 8th, under the capable direction of Mr. Howard. The play was different from the usual school play in that it showed the dramatic ability of the cast. The class chose Master Engravers to print its announcements, Our class motto is: Never before have we had so little time in which to do so much. Our class flower is Sutter's Gold Rose and our class colors are Jet and Gold. A Hobo Dance was sponsored by the class with the student body as guests, March 2lst. Darlene Miller was chosen as D. A.
