Who is that cowgirl over there? She is the owner of the Nine Mile Ranch where horses are trained for professional racers. Horses were always her main interest in life. You guessed it. It's DARLENE HILL. The day is coning to a close, and the Class of '52 had a perfect attendance. All the old friends will soon be going their separate ways again.

Suniox QIooa From these beloved halls we 11 have to stray When it comes time for our graduation day. Many a memory will linger here Of those old friends and ones so dear. Many a memory of pleasant times will return. And for these beloved halls again our hearts will yearn. All of us will have to go on our separate ways. But always we will remember our happy school days. Many a pleasure in these old halls we have known. And very fond and loyal to our school we have grown. As we travel on down this hard road of life Though we have sorrow, trouble, and strife. We'll find comfort in memories of our old school days That will brighten our dark and dreary pathways. On graduation day our hearts will be filled With many thoughts that cannot be chilled; For all the warm memories in our hearts we will hold Of many happy experiences and pleasures untold. Through all walks of life many storms alone we will weather. But always our memories will be here together. VIVIAN LONG
