Roses COLORS-Green and White CLASS POEM YVL- the class of '52 Can say fair and true, That we have done our best And set an example for the rest, The road was sometimes hard, The will often weak, But now we have finally reached the peak. Up through the grades we fought, Until we have reached the goal we sought, And now we, the seniors, can say as ever It's Forward for us, and backward never.

Cfdilrf Adforg Such a short time 'til graduation! The school year is running down like a tired clock, and. as I sit here dreaming of that momentous night when wc, the class of '52. will make our last trip down thc aislc to reccivc that long coveted diploma and to end our high school carccr. my mind slowly turns '1'liH. I'll havc to admit, with a certain feeling of nostalgia-to anothcr momentous day, in thc carly fall of lfrffl. when a group of wriggling. squirming, but cute. youngsters made their way to .Ioncsvillc school to cntcr upon a new phase of life. Those early ycars were happy years for us. Our time was spent in learning honesty. sportsmanship. and cspccially how to get along with our fellowmen. VVe continued our school journey complacently and rather uneventfully for thc first few years. oc- casionally dropping a student, occasionally adding one. After each sunnncr vacation. wc were only too happy to return to school and bc greeted once more by our cheerfulclassmates,notinghowmuch cvery one had grown over the summer. Time passed swiftly. and, at last, we reached thc most exciting part of our grammar grade years-wc were able to move our possessions to thc high school building in thc cighth grade! This was one of our most eventful years. VVe were recognized as the most lively. fun love ing group in school. Yes. we were really having our fun! This was thc year of thc great strike when we decided, because we couldn't have our way. we wouldn't go to class. This was the year that both our boys and girls won a basketball tournament. sponsored by the P.T.A.. and brought back. to our school, two trophies. How proud we were of them! I shall never forget our tour of VVinstoneSalem that year. The main feature of the trip. I believe, was our tour through Reynolds Tobacco Company. IVc especially enjoyed visiting Reynolds Park for lunch! VVhile venturing there, we made snapshots that will be filed away with our many happy memories of our eighth grade. Finally. thc big day come for ns to graduate into high school . How dressed up we were on that day! Each member of the class certainly looked his best-thc girls with white dresses and red corsages and the boys with their suits and ties. VVc felt quite inportant! The summer passed swiftly, and, at the be- ginning of the school term, we found ourselves green freslnncn. VVc soon learned from the import- ant, dignified senior-s that we were to be the first class to bc initiated in .lonesville High School. YVc tried to drive thoughts of initiation from our minds, but rumors were quickly spreading about the fright- ening connnands to be issued by the seniors. VVe survived the initiation. and, by the cnd of the day. we proved that we could be good sports. As we progressed in our f1'eslnnen year, we went through a silly and mischievous stage. and soon acquired the name of giddy headed freshmen. This year in school each of us became a part of high school by jofning clubs, participating in sports. and. taking part in other activities. After passing our final exams. we once again enjoyed a summer vacation which really, though we wouldn't admit it then. seemed too long because we were eager to return to school for our sophomore year in school. VVe, as sophomores, held fast to the adage, All work and no play makes .lack a dull boy. Our leisure moments were filled with laughter at little incidents which will be filed with our happy memo- ries of .I.H.S. Picnics and out door activities highlighted the activities of this school year. Before we hardly knew it. we found ourselves jolly juniors-and our chief aim was to have the big- gest junior-senior banquet ever to be held in Jonesville. Finally. banquet time rolled around. YVe car- ried out our Good I.uck theme by using horseshocs, wishbones, and with rainbow colors to add to the beauty of the scene. Oh, how happy I feel when I think of that night! I am sure that each member of the class of '52 will never forget that memorable evening in May when we so graciously entertained the '51 seniors. As I look back on our junior year. I could never forget May 14-. the beginning of our Ivash- ington trip, when a group of juniors were allowed to accompany the '51 seniors to VVashington. My feet still hurt from thc thoughts of walking up the steps in the VVashington monument. and my heart skips a beat when I think of taking one more ride on the roller coaster. That was quite a trip. to say the least! As our bus rolled into Jonesville, all of us agreed that we had spent the most enjoyable week of our lives. Soon after the Washington trip Good-Byes were said to the seniors of '51. and we were next in line to occupy the place of honor in our school. Our senior year started with a big crash-initiation for the freshmen. Since we received the effects of the first initiation. we were ready for revengeg therefore, we planned a day. for the freshmen. fllled with stunts, a square meal, funny costumes. and. other amusing incidents. That night we served as host to the freshmen at a successful square dance in the gymnasium. As the year progressed. our days were spent in preparing for publication, the second edition of the Blue Jay. Our senior play was the highlight of the year's activity-what a year! The present brings me back to reality, and I know that we must ever push onward in life. Ilowevcr. I know that I, as well as the other seniors of '52, are leaving behind me school days enriched with manv happy memories of the past which cannot be destroyed. FRANKIR MORRISON Historian
