In Appreciation Mrs. Gertrude Olds is retiring this June after forty years of teaching, thirty-four of which have been in our school. Over these many years, we have come to depend upon her to advise the Seniors, direct their play, sponsor the yearbook and counsel with all. In addition to carrying a full teaching schedule. Never complaining, always cheerful, she endeared herself to all with whom she worked. We hope Mrs. Olds will enjoy a well earned rest, but we would also hope she will be available on a consulting basis for many years to come. Mr. Bernard Bryan is leaving after five very successful years on our staff and will be on the faculty of tne Sidney Central School next year. He has well earned this promotion and we wish him the best of success in his new position. Our Music Department has made rapid strides during Mr. Bryan's stay here, both in size and in performance. The recent State Festival, which he sponsored here, is evidence of the fine work we have learned to expect from him. Miss Alice Bellairs, in her short stay of one year, has made a host of friends here at school and in the community. We are sorry she has decided to locate nearer to her home in Pennsylvania. We will miss her cheery smile and her loyal participation in all school affairs. Perhaps when our railroad is built or when airplanes become more plentiful, we can prevail upon her to return to our midst. Again, to these three who are leaving, we say. '.Veil done and best wishes — VALEDICTORY Uppermost in the minds of young Americans today is the question, of the re« sponsibility of the American citizen and to what extent each individual is ex- ercising his right of suffrage. This year it is of more importance than it has been for some tire'that the people of voting age take advantage of this oppor- tunity that has been bequeathed to them through our constitutional government. It may mean the continuance or loss of our freedoms in social, economic and po- litical fields, We are too young as yet to voice our sentiments at election time so we appeal to you, who can, to assume the responsibility and not cast just a vote, but an intelligent one. Are we satisfied with the present conditions of our government?Have honest, capable citizens been elected to perform duties assigned to them? It is not alone the right, but also the responsibility of every American voter to try to assure that our government is placed in the hands of capable, honest men. iVe will never forget the friendships we have formed, nor the experiences we have had during our days at Morris Central School. We wish to thank the Board of Education, our teachers, parents, and friends for all the benefits we have enjoyed while here. On behalf of the Class of 1952 it is my privilege to say farewell. Audrey Morehouse SALUTATORY We, the Class of 10 2,welcome you to these commencement exercises. Tonirht marks the end of our education at Morris Central; but we shall never forget our Alma Mater, nor the helpful guidance and training we have re- ceived. Education is a necessity in this modern and complicated world. In or- der to have peace and to uphold democracy, people the world over must be en- lightened as to the difference between right and wrong, freedom and dictator- ships. Peoples and governments must be able to understand each other. We are proud to say that we are among the few who have received such an education and we hope that we will make good use of it. We wish to thank everyone for their interest and aid. appreciation and gratitude that we again say, Welcome .

We have been happy here and we want this night to reflect nothing but Joy, untouched by the farewells of graduation. I feel it a privilege, as president of the Class of '52, to welcome you to our night of festivity; and to thank you ----- the Board of Education, our teachers, parents and friends for the kindly guidance and loyal support that has been extended to us through-out our school life. We hope that you will be entertained by the memories and expectations we express tonight. Robert Foote CLASS HISTORY September I9I4.9 and we find Miss Thelma Leska, now Mr3. Hourne, faced with an exceptionally talented, intelligent group of twenty-five freshmen. A week later the arrival of Mildred Gossman added to our talented, intelligent---well let us say group. Miss Leska, for the first time, allowed the freshmen to earn some money for the senior trip to Washington and New York. We sold many tickets to our movie, April Showers , and found that we had been successful. It was through Miss Leska's efforts that we learned parliamentary proce- dure. Our meetings and business matters were handled very efficiently. The officers for that year were as follows: Lois Pickens-----------------Class President Patricia Starr---------------Vice President Carl Eccleston---------------Secretary and Treasurer Evelyn Johnston brought the number back to twenty-five by successfully passing her regents and entering the tenth grade. During the year the various sports of Morris were honored with the pres- ence of Bob Foote, Carl Eccleston, Dick Olds, Dick Thompson, Roger Parker,and Fred Sherwood. We were well represented in chorus, band, twirling, and cheerleading. Va- rious clubs also felt the presence of the freshmen. June and exams were now knocking at our back door. I am glad to say everyone was able to pass through those dreaded doors. The sophomore year came very quickly and we are sorry to say six members fled the marble halls of Morris. This year we elected Bob Foote——--—President Carl Eccleston----Vice President Roger Parker-----Secretary and Treasurer Starting with the right Foote we were able to sponser a good old fash- ioned hoedown. We also sold Christmas cards. We again were well represented in various activities. In the middle of the year we were very sorry to lose Lois Pickens. As you can see our year with Mr. Knapp also went very quickly. The Junior year found a startled young woman as our teacher. I say star- tled because I honestly don't believe Miss Whitney expected to be the Junior home room teacher. I could never say that this year passed uneventfully. Be- sides the ordinary missing books, hanging snakes, wooden cows, and locked home- room doors we gained a new member by the name of Russell King, making us the Eighteen Club . I shall begin by telling you the class officers that we elected this year. Carl Eccleston----------------president Joan Jester—---------————-----vice president Patricia Starr----------------Secretary and Treasurer To earn some money this yeap we sponsored a dance, two variety parties, and on May 5 we sponsored a movie, Twelve O'clock High . During the year Mrs. crumb prepared a delicious rabbit dinner for her Jun- iors, and we all enjoyed it to our fulfilment. Once again our class took part in many of the activities. In June we prepared and served the Alumni Banquet and also gave our Junior Reponse to the Seniors. We added a little in regard to our senior trip fund but I am sorry to say we were still far from our goal. Sixteen of our group now remained. We were all soon busy with a class’ play, The Man On The Stairs . Mrs. Olds gave up her nights and even Sundays to assist us in the presentation of the play and the whole class wishes to thank her. Oh, yes, I an very proud to say we were able to beat all sales re- cords on magazines--Ye3—even those of last year. We also sold candy and soda pop during the sport events. Just before our senior trip we sponsored a dance. Now our treasury was full and our goal was reached. May 30, and we were on our merry way to Washington and to New York. This was an experience we shall never forget. We had such fun and we visited so many different places and learned so many new things. Before I forget as you all know we experienced a day of teaching at Morris Central. One result Fred Sherwood went home with a headache, otherwise, no other casulties. And so we shall be leaving our Alma Mater and needless to say we are sorry to have seen the years go by so fast but we shall have many happy memories, es- pecially our last year with Mrs. Olds. Mildred Gossman CLASS PROPHECY Almost anything could be expected of the Class of '52. Classes before ours have had students with outstanding abilities but ours has topped them all. Our class has had high scholastic standards and has been exceptional in the music world. As we go strolling down the sidewalks of D.S.A., we come upon a small red school building. Up in front of the room sits a young lady giving out English assignments. A closer look reveals to us that it is one of our former class- mates, Miss Patricia Starr, who now has a position as English teacher. We hear that her students are very good in their English. Drifting on down the street I come to a neat little garage. The sign on the front gives its identity away, it says Olds Reliable Auto Shop . Aa I gb by I see a young man tinkering with a car. He seems to be having quite a time as he is hunting for some part that he has lost. He looks up as I go by and I am surprised to see Richard Olds. It seems he did so well after getting out of school th at he was able to start a garage of his own. Looking on down the street we see a large office building. As we go Into the building we see one of our former classmates, Lore Haus. We get into a gab session and find out that Lore is the bookkeeper for the firm. She is very highly recommended by her employers. Coming out of the city we take an airplane to the next city. As we get on the plane, to our astonishment,we find that Eileen Callaghan i3 the stewardess. We learn that all her passengers are always calm and look forward to talks with her. After landing we Journey to a large building,and go up a flight of stairs. On one of the doors we see BROWNIE GAISPORD'S ARTISTS SCHOOL . It seems that Joan Gaisford is a great success and has started an art school of her own. We go into the office and find Joan working with a student who is very Interested in his work. Joan also seems to be getting quite a bit of enjoyment so we do not bother her very long. As we reach the outskirts of town we cone to another school building. We go in and find that Zalda Cole is the fourth grade teacher. Her students are very well disciplined and study hard to get good marks. She comes out and talks to us for a while. She is enthusiastic about her teaching and finds it very en- joyable. In the upper corridor we meet Mildred Gossman. She is the honemaking tea- cher. It seems her students are all very good cooks. One of her girls can sew so well that she won a championship. All the girls look up to Miss Gossman as an idol of good home economic standards. In the office of the principal we see Audrey Morehouse. She is very neat and efficient. The principal can be sure to depend on Audrey for answers to his many questions. Strolling further down the street we see a large sign sporting the word TIMBER under which we see a large tree being felled by a Homelite chain saw. In the doorway we see Mr. Roger Parker. Mr. Parker is talking to a customer, who seems to be very pleased with his new chain saw. We finally discover that Bussell King is the President of the New York State Artifical Breeders Association. In our hotel room we turn on the radio and hear a speech being given by Russell on the artifical breeding of animals. We find that Russell is a close friend to a large farm owner,Emerson Cole. Emerson own3 a big ten thousand acre farm which has five hundred cows. He is proving to be astute and has completely settled down to the farm life. After our walk we go down to the harbor. We take a cruise on one of the big ships. A terrific storm split the stern into two parts. We aren't afraid because the Captain of our half is Robert Foote. Captain Foote soon has us landed in one piece. After getting over sea sickness we board the airplane again and land in another small city. Back on land again we go into another office building. Working our way through the crowd we finally reach the main office. On the glass door we see the name Secretary, Joan Jester . Walking in we find that the room is full of typists and other secretaries all working under the supervision of Miss Jester. As we are on our way down the Main Street we notice a big building. It is in the center of the business section. As we look in we see a short man who is bustling around. 7 e go in and find that it is Frederick Sherwood. He is in the business of selling refrigerators and deep freezers. It seems that Fred- erick is quite a success and is expanding his business by leaps and bounds. Further down the street we come to a large Victory Store. We glance in and much to our surprise we see Ronald Miller. once in the store we notice that part of it is under construction. The reason being that Ronald want3 to expand his business, because he has competitors and his customers are mor As we drive out of the city toward home we see a lovely white house per- ched on a hill top. Upon drawing nearer we see our classmate. Luella Dixson. It seems it is time for her husband to come home for dinner. She invites us to stay and we find that she is a very good cook. At last our trip is over. We are very tired and happy after seeing our old classmates. They are all doing very well so each is satisfied with his work. Joan Jester Richard Olds CLASS POEM As I write about them all. Each face comes into view. Into this poem I 11 tell you about Each member fond and true. For this class of  3 2 Mrs. Olds is our advis r. After being under her guiding hand, We are all a little wiser. Our pro at sports, at books, and things Is our president, blond Dutch. In Dimmock Hollow he hunts his prey Like dear, and bear, and such. Her manner is gay. Her smile like a pixie, And so you must know It's our classmate, sweet Dixie. His tongue and manner are sharp and wit , His jokes are new and never musty. You must have guessed who this guy is, Of course, it s good old Rusty. Now we come to our blond Lore, Who is editor of these books. She is also heroine of our play, She 11 go far with her brains and looks. He 11 tell us a story With his face like a poker He«11 make us all laugh. It's Teb, our class joker. Her talent is with pen and tongue That's our gal Gossman, Gerri Her reddish hair belies the fact That she's both sweet and merry. With wide grin and loud laughter In a manner far from surly. He'll tease all his classmates. Our tall lad, Curly. With a book about horses on her lap, We always find Eileen. We hope the future is bright for her, This shy, demure colleen. When time for sugaring came around He's become a total stranger. He knows about everything. It's Rog, our future ranger. So skilled with pen, and brush, and palette Is our Joanle G. Her future looks so bright and gay. An artist she should be. When we think of brains We always think of Aud. For one so young she has her man. Her shyness Is a fraud11 And now we come to Sonny Cole Who drives a small, black car. It makes Its way to Welcome, With Anna he'll go far. A cute little girl with smile so sweet Is none other than Jester, Joan. She's full of fun and lots of pep, A nicer girl we've never known. Another swell guy Is Ronnie Miller He goes with our Luella. He's well-liked by everyone He's a regular fella. Our dark-eyed miss is Zaida Cole A teacher she hopes to be. What fate has in store for this pretty girl Still remains a mystery. Last on our list In our notable class Is a girl whose name Is Starr, I'll not say much about this little lass. But as a poetess she's not up to par. Patricia Star CHARGE TO THE JUNIORS As we, the Seniors of  52, leave the halls of Morris Central,there are many cheer from the Juniors. It is hard for us to realize that you,a group of juveniles, can ever take our place In the senior room. You may be happy for a while but you will soon realize that we, your ad- mired upper classmen, will no longer be around to take your shaking, grasping, little hands and keep you from sinking beyond the depth of life's turmoil.

Oh Seniors, may we express our deepest gratitude for these kind words of wisdom which you have condescended to bestow upon us.

Treas.---Eva Harrington Junior Officers President---Patricia Fields Vice Pres.—Jerry Kodrich Sec. Treas.--Leonard Bird The Senior Library Club Members have had an active year. The main circu- lation desk has been cared for and the members have helped greatly with the processing of the new books. Members were also responsible for obtaining the school news and having it printed in the Morris Chronicle each week. In the fall, the annual Book Week Tea for the faculty was held. From October to April, the club members again took on the project of serv- ing coffee and tea to the faculty members after school each night. After an Instruction period of about five weeks, the Junior Library Club was organized. -These students helped with bulletin boards and other publicity features. Cards were filed and the members helped to circulate books in the elementary library. It is the hope of the librarian and club members that students consider the library a place suitable for quiet study and reading. President—Russell King Vice Pres.--George Harrington Secretary—Robert Perry Treasurer---Rene Valentine Reporter—’-Karl Laubmier Sentinal---Emerson Cole During the year the Chapter sold Christmas cards and Everyday cards. Also during the year we had a scrap drive which wasn't successful. We were repre- sented by Emerson Cole at the County meeting held at Edmeston. We had a basket ball squad and went to Edmeston to play a game, later we had a supper. During the year we had two game suppers held at Mr. Howlett's home, which we all en- joyed very much. Some of the P.F.A. boys went to Ithaca for the Farm and Home Week Show. All in all we had a good time under Mr. Howlett's guidance. President Janet Wells Vice Pres. Audrey Palmer Secretary Joyce Toomath Treasurer Virginia Stafford Historian---Charlotte Douglas We had a formal Iniation for new members with refreshments served by some of the girls. Early in the year a few of the girls went to Gilbert Lake for the F.H.A. Rally. We attended another rally later in the year held at the Oneonta State Teachers College. We planned a street dance for November. A cold, clear night found a good crowd dancing. Our next event was the Christmas tea for grades 7-12 held in the gym. In March we successfully sponsored our second play night, highlighted by the floor show. Our last big project was to serve the meals for the judges and faculty at the music festival in May. We have had a happy and enjoyable time together under the leadership of Mrs. Crumb, our advisor and Mrs. Laura Palmer, our chapter mother. The cafeteria sold complete lunches again this year as usual. For 16 the type A lunch had on it a 2 oz. protein, meat, cheese, or fish—vegetable and fruit with cookie, sandwich, and milk. About 200 type A lunches were sold each day. Approximately 20 students assisted the manager. The student payroll was $165 a month. This year for the first time the Projection Club was formed to train stu- dents to run the Audio-Visual Equipment of Morris Central School. They are able to run the machines in school and at community organizations. They learned to operate the portable 16 mm movie projector, the opaque projector, the 35 mn filmstrip projector, the phonograph-3 speed, and the tape recorder. FOOTBALL In the fall of 1952 Morris Central School entered its term with Coach Eleven warriors of the gridiron game Bidding for the spotlight; for power and fame. Ordeals now settled in King Football's court Thrill the vast millions, this peer of all sport. Blocking and tackling, the kick and the pass Win for each gridder the heart of a lass. Each man is a cog in this human machine Striving to play a fair game and clean. Autumn winds blow and we chill to the bone. But football has come for a brief two months' loan. Stadium rooters, both the student and grad. Smile when we win, when we lose become sad. One adverse break and the cause may be lost. One little slip and the goal line is crossed. One muffed punt and the game may be done. One complete pas3 and the game may be wonl All this makes football exciting to all. With thrills for the grownup and thrills for the 3mall. Yes, King Football, we wish you would stay. But we know in November you'll hasten awav.
