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!
