Cfom .jskaiorg Chapter I OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY Entering Morton High in the fall of '49 we were 73 very green freshmen properly awed and impressed by the nonchalance of the upperclassmen. We had that well, here-we- are-at-1ast felling, but after the first frightening week, gone forever were all thoughts of grade school days. We were duly initiated on Thursday, September 30, by the sophomores, but they made up for the unpleasantness by honoring us with a dance. We returned the honor the fol- lowing week. Our able class advisors were Miss Noonan and Mr. Lore. Officers elected were Gary Coleman, President: John Vipond, vice-President, Loma McLeod, Secretaryg Ramona Tappan, Treasurerg Claudette Muir, Sergeant-at-Armsg and June Mills, Student Coun- cil Representative. We entered into the many activities of high school readily, joining clubs, teams, and yell staff, giving dances and altogether having an exciting year. Chapter II GROWING UP We officially launched our activity-packed year with the freshmen initiation which was traditional with a capital Tl We sophomores were well represented in sports, dan- ces, and other activities and organizations. The Class of '52 numbered now 53. We lost no time electing our year's officers: Gary Coleman, President: Ken McCurdy, Vice-President, June Mills, Secretary, and Loma McLeod, Treasurerg John Vipond, Student Council Representative, and Gary Danley, Sergeart-at-Arms. With the help of our ever-patient advisors, Miss Allen and Mr. Roberts, the sophomores had a very exciting year. We greatly anticipated being called Upperclassmen. CContinued P.62, A 10
