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
