It was unfortunate that this traditional dance has not been continued, for this was the first and last of its kind. During the sophomore year, the boys began making names for themselves in sports; many of them earned their varsity letters. We became juniors with thoughts of our senior year and graduation. The officers devised ways and means of making money. Besides presenting the usual dances, the class decided to take con- cessions at the baseball games. Our first dance of the junior year was the home-coming dance, The Snowball, at which Juanita Merriman and Donn Hamas, of the class of 1951, were crowned king and queen. It had a big turnout, and everyone enjoyed himself. The class voted to change the J-Hop date to February 10, and made plans to center it around Valentine’s Day. On May 4, the class sponsored a record dance. Square dancing was featured with a professional caller. May 27, a dismal rainy Sunday, was a day to be remembered. The class held its first picnic at Plymouth Park. Eating, playing baseball, volleyball, and tennis, and even wading in the nearby creek was part of this event. The day after the picnic the election of senior officers was held. We entered the senior year. The Witches Whirl,” held in October started the year’s senior activities. Many seniors elected Annual Staff and started the 1952 Futorian for printing in April. The Lowrey Light Staff became inspired to the extent that the paper was doubled in size and contents. With the graduation of the January class, we began to realize that June was not far off. Gradu- ation pictures were taken, and the class members purchased their graduation invitations. Plans for the Senior Prom and Senior Week were being made. On April 18, The Sock Hop” was presented. Soon the hustle and bustle of graduation was truly upon us. We were measured for our caps and gowns, and we began trading name cards and pic- tures with our classmates. The last weeks of school were approaching, and we were eagerly awaiting our week of class activities. During this week swimming parties, weiner roasts, and a boat trip were held. Senior Day was especially fun, and the seniors turned out for it. Senior Week was climaxed with the Senior Prom on June 6. The Crystal Ballroom of the Fort Shelby Hotel was the perfect setting for the last formal social event before graduation. Frank Netting’s Orchestra was chosen for this occasion. These last few weeks had been the perfect climax to four happy years spent in study and play together. We were leaving Lowrey for the last time. The night of graduation arrived, and we walked solemnly down the aisle to the strains of the music—Pomp and Circumstance. Some of us will further our education, others have already obtained work, some have plans of marriage, and many of the fellows have already had their futures planned for them in the service of our country. We have enjoyed our four years at Lowrey; we leave reluctantly. We look to the future and hope that we will do our parts to fulfill our roles of making this world of ours a better place in which to live. HISTORY
