Not fond, herself, of overwork, She can’t endure that others shirk, So Marlyn will run with glee A great employment agency. Robert Nelson kissed all the babies; Won the election; got to be Mayor of our city. He’ll be governor; wait and see. Someone should shoot Uncle Howard, Growling on the radio; Scaring tots with nightmare horrors, As, shivering, off to bed they go. ’Mongst files and typing; books and ledger Annabelle’s never at a mental loss; Most efficient in an office— (And she wed that bald-headed boss). Notice our friend Jessie, Teacher in a Sunday School; Busy making saints of sinners; Laying down the Golden Rule. Artist Andy paints strange pictures; Masterpieces by the score; While a dozen lucious models Wait outside the studio door. She can cure your chills and fever— That is Nurse Phyllis’ boast. Which is worse, the ills or treatment: That’s what puzzles us the most. Dieticition in a hospital Helena is doing well; She can make hash in just three minutes, But Heaven only knows what’s in it. Bless my soul. There’s Francis Maholtz Cutting capers on Broadway; Signing contracts by the dozen, He’s a star that’s come to stay. Husky Charles rolls in wealth; Teaching courses based on health. Of “wim and wigor” he has a load; Step aside, he may explode. Solemn undertaker Edward Chuckles when you sneeze or cough; Hoping some bewhiskered microbe Soon will cause you to “pop off.” Hat designer in the city; Agnes’s mind runs riot; No one should make hats of spinach— But watch our Agnes try it! Fifty miles from the nearest neighbor, Stanley; As fire warden in a tower; People near him give him fits. Annabelle Chiodo Esther Muccio Marlyn Thomas

The long awaited goal of the Class of ’52 finally began on September 5, 1951. We had now reached the degree of being the upper classmen or better known as “The Seniors.” Gur first class meeting was held on September 10, for the purpose of electing class officers. The election was as follows: President Robert Nelson Vice President Francis Maholtz Secretary .................................. Jessie Newell Treasurer Esther Muccio Advisor Mrs. McFall Among the activities to raise money for the Washington trip were: Selling of magazines and Christmas cards, Halloween Dance, Hunter’s and movies throughout the year. A class meeting was held on September 19, 1951 to discuss Invitation and name cards for Gi’aduation. A class meeting was held on October 4, 1951 to select our class play. We decided to stage a western called “M’ Liss.” The play was very successful. A class meeting was held on February 15, 1952 for the purpose of selecting dates for the Washington trip. We decided on the 28th, 29th and 30th of April we would take the trip with Mrs. McFall and Mr. Cheslock acting as chaperones. On May 14, 1352 the Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the Golden Yoke in Luthersburg. An enjoyable time was had by all attending. On our three-day trip to Washington we visited many places, such as United States Capitol, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Smithesonian Institute, Arlington Cemetery and Ford Theatre. The main highlight of the trip was the boat trip. The Mahaffey seniors accompanied us on the trip. A class meeting was held on March 14, 1952 to change the class colors to blue and white. May 22 we had our Class Night program at which time the mantle and chain were presented to the Junior Class. May 25, 1952 we held our Mac- calaureate service with Father Louis Kozlowski as the main speaker. May 27, 1952 we held our Commencement Exercises in the Gym which included a pageant presented by the seniors, “Freedom Forever.” May 29, 1952 the Seniors held the annual school picnic at Parker Dam. Everyone enjoyed the food and the weather was fine for such an occasion. Jessie Newell, Secretary PROPHECY Esther, a girl of charm and grace Whose virtues are reflected in her face, Will live in peace and plenty all her life, A housekeeper re luxe and happy wife. Her fertile brain and ready wit Proclaims at once the job she’d fit Mary Ellen will write the perfect story, Thur covering everyone with glory. He argues morning, noon and night, And wins, if he be wrong or right; So Gerald will be, of course, A lawner, criminal and divorce.
