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
