Wllll? 'Considerate,' 'capable,' and 'competent' might have been added to the English vocabu- lary in honor of Dick Bates, for they fit his personality perfectly. And he's also one of the most likeable people anyone could wish to meet. At K.H.S. he made quite a name for himself on the football gridiron, the basketball court, and the baseball field. He was particularly good in baseball and became known for his home runs at the crucial moment. Dick was chosen a member of the Kledia, an honorary boys' club in the senior class, for his fine scholar- ship record. Also a member of the Latin and Bible Clubs, Dick has been partly re- sponsible for several unusual movies presented through the years on the subject of God and Mankind. Everyone will agree he's a terrific guy, never to be forgotten. ,g ' J ' X I .. i Known to almost everyone as Eggeth, this quick-quip guy is a welcome sight wherever he goes! With his famous smile always in evidence, Bill Eggert conducts a class meeting or a discussion in the Student Government Class equally well. Dance-happy, he can be seen at almost every social affair having a grand time. His popularity has been proved many times, as he has been chosen King, by popular vote, of several school dances. Then, too, he was elected president of both the junior and senior classes and was ninth grade treasurer. Other activities included the Hi-Y and Lynx. Bill is one reason why the senior class is so out- standing this year. As Prexy, his leadership has been terrific. Hats off to a super-fine guy! QM f ..f X' Z Quiet and reserved, but unusually talented, is Roy Howell, a man of distinction. He has distinguished himself in both Track and Cross Country, and is a four-year letterman. This enabled him to become a member of the Varsity Club. His scholarship states that he be- longed to Kledia and is a life member of the CSF. Not satisfied with just this, he showed an active interest in the Hi-Y and Latin Club. These activities should keep anyone busy, but his classmates elected him vice-president of the junior class, too. Roy was also Business Manager of the Komet. He may be quiet, but he is an all-American guy when it comes to dancing or other social activities. But the more serious side of his nature urges him to work hard toward his goal of being a doctor, knowing him, one feels sure he will reach it easily. Meet Don Lindahl, an outstanding personality at Kearny. Friendliness is second nature to him, and keeping busy is his favorite pastime . . . for Don is our very competent A.S. B. President. Acting as an ex-officio member of every school organization, he has helped to bring a feeling of unity among them. He has had ample training for his job as he was chair- man of the Jr. Coke Committee, Latin Club Secretary, our C.A.S.C. Representative, and a life member of the CSF. ls it any wonder that Don has been such a president? Good-looking and hard-working Jock Osborn has rapidly become one of San Diego's outstanding personalities in the City Prep League. This success results from his sensational baseball ability on the mound. Attracting the attention of every sportswriter, he has been almost a one-man threat against the Komet opponents. But baseball wasn't his only sport, Basketball found him in the limelight just as often. With this record, it is only natural that he was elected Commissioner of Boys' Athletics. Then, just to keep him further occupied, he was an active member of the Hi-Y and Kledia. He also gave much of his time to the A.S.B. Council, working for the betterment of sports in our school. An all-around guy, Ozzie is sure of friends wherever he goes! Who's Who was selected on the basis of good citizenship, scholarship and serivce to the school.

Cameras are suspended in an attitycae of waiting. Workmen are non- existent. Why the desertion? lt's because the members of the senior class of l952 at Kearny High School are saying goodbye. Only a short time ago, boys and girls could be seen having a terrific time on Senior Ditch Day, happily dancing at the Senior Prom, feeling gay at the Senior Breakfast, looking a bit serious and thought- ful at Baccalaureate, and a little sad on Graduation Night. Since the days when we were all innocent seventh graders, the class of l952 has always shared the lime- light in school affairs. Under the guiding hands of Mr. Glen Wirt and Miss Margaret Shaw, up until the tenth grade, our class had o good start toward the sensational group of troupers that became the stars of the show in '52, Then, after Mr. Wirt left to serve in the Navy, Miss Stitt became our class advisor, and was immeasurably helpful with our caps and gowns, cards and announcements. And, like every class, we have our favorite teacher. Without a doubt, Mr. Fierro won that title from us! Remember the great dances we used to present? You could always depend on the Top Performers for originality and quick thinking. Our Senior Play was proof of that, Refreshingly different, it scored lOOWz on the Hit Parade of Hits. Of course, we had outstanding officers who contributed much toward the successes we achieved. Leading us were Billy Eggert, as President, Danny Baker, Vice-President, Marvel Bratcher, Secretary, and Joan Marsh, Treasurer. With these Sl,O0O-a-week stars, is it any wander that our class will always be remembered as hav- ing the largest number of unusually talented seniors among them? Before we leave, the spotlight will once again be focusing on us. This final moment will be the night we walk forward, one by one, and receive our diplomas from Mr. Taylor, our principal. This is the moment every senior lives for, yet when the time actually arrives, he inevitably finds it sad. Thoughts of his past high school years drift hazily through his mind as he again takes his seat among his classmates, this for the last time. But, after we are gone, we feel certain that not for a long time will the undergraduates forget the senior class of l952!
