SENICR CLASS HISTORY Margaretville Central School Margaretville, New York DEJXR MR. SHAVER: Now our class is preparing to leave high school. We have both pleasant and not-so- pleasant memories when we think over those twelve eventful years of close companionship. We direct our reflections in this history to you since you have observed us grow and seen, per- haps expected, more than any other one person, all the phases of our scholastic life. Four short years ago we made an eventful progression, right into high school, into Miss Connell's and Mr. Matalavage's rooms. We were a bit bewildered by the responsi- bility of choosing one or two courses on our own, though we had been prepared for this by Mr. Soper, the guidance teacher, the pre- vious spring. VVe were also rather worried about that problem of all freshmen, initiation, when we noticed the bloodthirsty gleams in the eyes of the Seniors. However, we not only sur- vived but actually enjoyed the week of atten- tion, and we learned a great deal about school traditions, songs, and even about the number CContinur: The 1952 Log of strokes of a toothbrush it takes to wash a corridor! From that first year all the members of our class participated actively in school ac- tivities, such as dramatics, athletics, chorus. band, various other clubs and social events, in- cluding dances, Carnivals, and concerts.

Then we were beginning to really feel adult. We labored long hours over our homework, and as long over telephone conversations involving our social lives. We were a very sociable group, and if marks were given for dancing, conversation, and the sazfoir faire of adolescent society circles, some of our class would have had positions on the high honor list consistently. During our junior year our battle cry was, When we're seniors l We thought in our serious moments of the world that would soon absorb our talents and our skills, if we honestly could say we had them to offer.

12 PROPHEfCY Will you wonder, Mr. Shaver, whether or not the senior class of '52 is safe now in the wide, wide world? Well, john Clark has been working on a time machine, when he wasn't building hot rods, and should have presented it to you-Yes, there it is, that little but powerful machine in the corner.
