CLASS HISTORY Our class of 1952 will leave the sacred halls of Corriher-Lipe High School, as students, when our graduation exercises are completed. But our hearts will al- ways remain with our Alma Mater. The pleasant memories of our school days, far from the worldly problems of adult- hood, will not be forgotten. Among our fondest memories is the day in September of 1948 when we en- tered Landis High to drop our first pebble into the ocean of broader education. The first ripple made by the pebble revealed much pleasure as we became accustomed to the ways and means of the school that was to be our home for the next four years. Our class advisors, Mrs. Earl Cavin, Miss Doris Lackey, and the following officers: Bobby Harrington, President; Bill Sells, Vice-President; An- gela Cook, Secretary and Treasurer; |mo- gene Page, Reporter, helped us get estab- lished in this institution for a successful year. Now we began to be recognized in organizations. Imogene Page was elected as Secretary of the Student Body for the following year. The second ripple grew larger as we entered our Sophomore year. We shed our title of “Green Freshmen,’’ and took our new one of “Sophisticated Sopho- mores.’” Sophomores — music to our ears. We figured that we knew just about all there was to know about high school, but we were only beginning to learn. J Many of our class participated in sports, while others were in the Band and Glee Club. Our officers for the year were: President, Bill Sheeks; Vice-President, Bill Sells; Secretary, Imogene Page; Treasurer, Elaine Griffin; Reporter, Joyce Holshouser. We were under the leader- ship of Miss Lois Campbell and Mr. Bob Phillips, who helped us through the trials of this our second year of high school. Bill Sheeks was elected as Second Vice- President of the Student Body for the fol- lowing year. The third ripple expanded even more and we found ourselves in the Junior class. ‘In October at our class meeting, we chose to lead us: President, Bill Hare; Vice-President, Elaine Griffin; Secretary, Helen Jackson; Treasurer, Floranne Clod- felter; Reporter, Joyce Holshouser. We had Mrs. H. S. Leafe, Mrs. Walter Ram- seur, and Mrs. Bob Cross as our advisors. This was to be an eventful year for us, as Juniors. We had our first class play, “He Who Hesitates,”’ which was directed by Mrs. H. S. Leafe. A great event of the year was the Hal- loween Play and Carnival, which we spon- sored. Both were a great success due to the help of our director, Mrs. Bob Cross. Joyce Holshouser was elected to reign as queen of the Halloween Carnival and later held the title ‘“Miss Landis High.” Another great event was our Sadie Hawkins Day, which we sponsored. At lunch on that day each girl chose the man of her dreams and put her patch on him. That night we had a square dance in the gym, to celebrate the day. We contributed a great deal to sports with Bill Hare and Jill Castor as our “Big Wheels.” Due to the fact that the Juniors are al- ways expected to give the Seniors a ban- quet in the spring, we followed the same method. It took plenty of hard work and guidance to raise enough money to pay for this, but we finally did get enough Continued on page 53
