Here’s the early bird. He’s late for practice because he was kept in for being late for class. In his haste he stuffed his father’s best polka dot shorts in his gym bag because he couldn’t find his gym trunks. The scholastic dodo is always equip- ped for school. Friends wonder where he gets all those books. The girls call him a square, but he says their hyper-criticism leaver him unaffected. The girl athlete doesn’t like boys, at least most of them. She claims she could whip anyone of them in football. She thinks girls should have a wrestling team. Meet our most popular boy, the girls voted him the best dressed senior. He played football. Here, you see him sporting his new $42 tweed coat. His freshly pressed gaberdines are rolled up so the boys can see his $3 argyies. No, he hasn’t just failed his phys- ics exam, he’s just in love. Our lovesick boy has a crush on a cute varsity cheerleader. He tells her he's a typical American boy but she won’t date him. He’s just different, she says. Last, but not least is the wisecrack artist Here you see him laughing at his own joke. He gets a big charge out of making girls giggle at him, but he doesn't understand why he isn’t so popular.

Cyril Rumens Robin Hock James Sawyer Florence Gafts Dorothy Freyvogel ADDRESS TO THE GRADUATES OF 1952 Every year it is the custom for the Senior Class President to address the graduates of that year but the motive for my address is not mere custom It is the desire to express an opinion that has been forming in my mind for four years. I feel certain that I am speaking for all of the Class of 1952 when I quote those often repeated words, “an enjoyable time was had by all”. When we think about our high school years, we often forget or fail to realize the true reason for them: to gain experience, knowledge and responsibility. This is our first taste of the adult world. We can consider ourselves fortunate, indeed, to be able to attend Hicksville High and we owe the entire Hicksville School system a unani- mous vote of thanks for their efforts. Wherever we may go, whatever good we may be doing in the future, we must remember that’Hicksville High was instrumental in enabling us to accomplish our goals. JAMES SAWYER Senior Class President, 1952
