SENIOR CLASS HISTORY lust think, it is 1952! It doesn't seem possi- ble that four years could have flown by so quickly. It seems like yesterday that thirty- one bright, shining faces started their career in Minooka High School. That day a very confused group made their way to their first class, and it doesn't seem possible now that we have attended our last class. During that first year we lost Rose Marie Stokes, Donald Iohnson, Tom Keagle, and Delores Tibbs, but we gained lohn Hylemon, lim Norton, and Ed Sandstrom. Having completed our first round, which was packed full of new experiences, we be- gan the second round with a total of twenty- five members. ln our Sophomore year we lost Clyde Davidson, Dale Belander, Dale Hanna, and lim Feeneyg but we gained Ioan Young, Ralph Leslie, and Bill Morgan. Our third round found the class of 52 well in the swing of things. Of course, there were still many new things to happen. We were all working hard and looking longingly to the night of our Iunior and Senior Prom, which was held at the Morris Country Club, and was very lovely. We also got our long awaited class rings. ln the year '51 we lost Iim Norton, Iohn White, and Gail McHugh. All in all, our lunior year was packed full of excitement and grand memories. Now we have completed our fourth and final round here together at Minooka High. This year of '52 found us in a new school and gym which thrilled us all. We started our Senior year with the loss of one of our classmates, Pat Keeley. Pat was very well liked and a very active classmate in our school. She was stricken with polio the 22nd of Iuly, l95l, and passed away two days later. We were all very stunned, but will long remember the very pleasant times she added to our class. We gained back lim l-'eeney that fall, ending with a total of twenty-one in the class of 52. Four of our fifty-twoers have completed twelve years at Minooka. They are: Mary Kittleson, Al Stegman, Chuck Anderson, and Wayne Gallinger. lim Feeney completed ten years at Minooka, having spent two years at Ioliet Catholic High School. This round was filled with just as much excitement as ever with the ordering and receiving of announcements and Senior pic- tures, the Senior play, and finally gradua- tion. We were proud to be the first class to graduate from the new auditorium. As we left, we said good-bye to a grand four years well spent and once again started on a new road with hope for a bright and successful future.
