Class History Twelve brave innocent children are left of the valiant band that courageously began school one day in September, 1939, under Miss Caroline Marvin and Mrs. Maxine Manchester. These honored personalities are none other than David Page, Arthur Button, Philip Fairchild, Eugene Johnson, Janet Button, Faye Spicer, Carol Angell, Dorothy Whitmore, Margaret Scribner, Betty Cadwell, Nancy Spicer, and Mary Austin. As we struggled through the years various new pupils and teachers joined the league until now in 1952, we have a class of twenty - seven that will soon be scattered in all directions. As we passed from grade to grade and from teacher to teacher, we were judged intellectuals and dullards, angels and devils, beauties and beasts, by our parents and teachers. Once - they even thought we were a group of geniuses - - but soon found out we weren’t. We were always a noisy class. Even now Mrs. McFarland has trouble getting us quiet. We were the objectives of many adjectives but we will let old troubles stay where they are. Our high school days started four years ago for most of us. These were filled with efforts to fatten our treasury so we could go on the traditional Senior trip in the spring of 1952. Our officers during the Fresh - man year were: Janet Button, President; Mary Austin, Vice President; James Hansen, Treasurer; and Velma Bound, Secretary. Mr. Cahill and Miss Eckart were selected to be our advisors. Our Sophomore officers were: Dave Page, President; Faye Spicer, Vice President; Judy Hoadley, Treasurer; and Sarita Runion, Secretary. This was the year we ordered our class rings. After much dis - cussion we selected the ring Enterprise. ” Dave proved such a good administrator that he was re - elected in our Junior year with Dorothy Whit - more as Vice President, Betty Cadwell, Treasurer; and Sarita Runion, Secretary. The two top events of the year were the Junior play, We Shook the Family Tree, ” and the Junior Prom with Stan Rolen and Faye Spicer, king and queen. Both events were a huge success. Our final year opened with David again taking the Presidency, Dorothy Whitmore, Vice President; Sarita Runion, Treasurer; and Ray Wells, Secretary. Our new history teacher, Mr. Hartnett (Uncle Jim), was chosen to be our advisor as Mr. Cahill had left. Mr. Hewitt, the new English teacher, worked un - tiringly withus to complete the two major Senior activities, the Senior play, Our Girls, ” and the pro - duction of The Tempus, the high school annual. Now that our academic education is nearing an end we feel that the class of 1952 is the most un - usual class to have passed through the portals of New Berlin Central School.
