busy this year ordering our invitations, having our pictures taken, and most important of all workingon our year book. We want to thank Mr. Everson, our sponsor, who has helped us through this, our last and most important year. Our fall class partywwas held at Anna Seifert's. This one party we shall never forget. Around ll o'clock Mr. Everson seemed to grow a little tired. We, the seniors, calling utpon the kindness in our hearts left so Mr, Everson cou d go home. After we were sure he was sa ely home and tucked in bed, we returned to Seifert's and finished our party. Really, Mr. Everson, we missed you very much. Yes, we have had some wonderful times here at New Palestine, but now we turn toward the future. What it holds for us we do not know, but we do know that no matter what we do or where we go we shall always remember this, our dear old alma mater. We, the seniors of 52, bid you alla fond farewell, Margie Kleiman Judy Gundrum f' 'QM SEATED Barbara Hawkins Judy Gundrum uonna Sutherland STANDING Phyllis Sleeth Betty Stapp absent from the picture Richard Short D F l C' aj. t A ,K ,- v ie M q l 'X I ,, X -rar q W 1, 1, .,
