T952 THE PANTHER HISTORY lContinued1 Joyce Kindred was chosen to represent the class and student body the week-end of May 8th, as princess for activities at Whitworth College. A new activity was put on May 16th by the class of '52, The class showed its many talents at Class Night. We had our class party May 23, and the traditional sneak was held April 9. Baccalaureate was held May 25, and last activity together was Commence- ment May 28, thus bringing to a conclusion the high school daze of the greatest graduating class who has ever been graduated from the hallowed halls of Harrington High School. By Patty Kerr 52 CLASS WILL 52 We, the members of the class of 52 of Harrington High School, County of Lincoln, State of Washington, being of sound mind and memory, and having reached an age where we are soon to pass on to higher realms, do hereby 'make and declare this to be the last will and testament of our class. This valuable document, duly executed and signed, is as follows: To the members of our beloved faculty we leave a large amount of sympathy for their depressing attempts to pound knowledge into our craniums, and our regrets that their work with us was so barren of results-we leave them, but we don't leave them much! ln addition we bequeath to- Mr. Lomax: Fond memories of Teel's pasture, our athletic abilities, and Natatorium and Manito Parks. Mr. Howard: Play books, cheesecloth, Stairway to the Stars, and the gathering at the Sillman Hotel. Mr, Anderson: Orderly meetings, Amoebae, and peanuts. Miss Simpson: English themes, and orderly and prompt classes. To Miss Hoff, who seems too much wedded to her work as a teacher, we leave the book belonging to the girls of this class, How to Win a Husband. Eventually-why not now? To Mr. Pommer, the principal of the school, the unfailing good humor of the entire class, we are certain he will need this in dealing with the seniors who succeed us. To the Junior class, as our rightful and worthy successors, we leave our seats. Occupy them, but do not try to fill them. We also leave them our great dramatic abilities. To the Sophomores goes our tendency to make a little knowledge go a long way in the classroom. To the Frosh we leave our dignity. May they uphold it with becoming seriousness, endeavoring to overcome their usual hair-brained and frivolous flippancy. The following valuable personal bequests, freely and fully given should be treasured as a continual reminder of the abundant and overwhelming gen- erosity of the class and the individuals thereof. We trust these responsibilities will be assumed promptly and bring important results.

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.

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.

Del Hartman and his Gonzagans furnished the music, Georgia Anderson, Diana Parr, Billy Talkington, and Jimmy Swenson were flower girls and boys.

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.
