We seldom miss the earthly great - the famous men that life has known But, as the years go racing by, we miss the friends we used to own. Edgar A. Guest. IN M M O A M aww 4,4 746 gem 4 1952 The time for the class of Nineteen Fifty-Two to conclude their days at C. C. H. S. has come We shall remember our high school days with mixed emotions--happy mem- ories of fun-filled days and sadness at leaving, never again to enter these doors as stu- dents As alumni we shall always be proud to say we were members of the Class of '52 We had our share of initiation trials and hardships all the while muttering to ourselves, Someday we'll' be seniors! Our first class president was Larry Wahl, assisted by Jim McConville and two Harmonites, Helen Long and Mary Kay Powers. The year passed quickly and we were sophomores. Class elections found Joe Bittorf heading the class with Peggy Stone, Helen Long, and Bill Stotzer as his fellow officers. Our class was separated into two homerooms under Sister Sarah Marie and Sister Carlos Marie. Time marched on--we were Juniors as well as upperclassmen. We set about our tasks with a felling of self-confidence known only to Juniors. Class officers elected for the year were Bill Stotzer, Alice Vock, Sharon Dale, and Mart Papoccia. Once again our class was all in the same homeroom. With the assembly as headquarters and Sister Charlotte Marie as chief-of-staff we began the year. Our first venture was sponsoring the Homecoming Dance following the St. Mary's of Clinton game. Next, we executed our second important maneuver, the Christmas formal. The coming of spring brought us to our final plunge-- the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. But alas, alack! On check- ing our depleted treasury,we found we were sadly lacking sufficient funds for the Prom. Frantic days and weeks followed, during which bake sales and paper drives finally net- ted us enough capital to go to work. We chose Mardi Gras in Maytime as our theme and enthusiastically planned a springtime menu. Hours of decorating followed, and at last the big night was here. The Juniors finally knew the gratifying, soul-warming feel- ing of success. Fall came,--at last--we were Seniors! We gleefully planned our Freshman initia- tion and received our long-awaited revenge. Homecoming was the next event on the agenda. Harmon virtually took over this occasion. Five Harmonites were members of the Queen's court. Candidates were Marilyn CSusieJ McCormick, Ramona Ostrander, Helen Long, and our blonde, petite Queen, Marian Warner. The fifth Harmonite was Ann Mekeel, the Junior representative. Co-captains Mart Papoccia and Joe Bittorf crowned the Queen and presented her with a lovely bouquet. Graduation is over. Our class is now broken up. With a lump in our throat and tears in our eyes we leave C. C. H. S. with a fond farewell on our lips and our hearts filled As. Freshmen, we were one of the greenest groups to ever enter C. C. H. S. portals: Goodbye, Monsignor', Goodbye, Father Ambre! Goodbye, Sisters! Goodbye C. C. H S 1 May God bless and keep you. Helen Long and Marilyn Schauff I with hopes and expectations for the future, 008404 , Seadoo We!! We, the Class of 1952, of the City of Sterling, State of Illinois, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament in manner and form as follows: Shirley Hamblock and Loretta Kiefer will their jobs as telephone operators to Pat Ham- block and Gail Kiefer.

At the outset of the 1951 football campaign the Comets were expected to have a fairly good record. The coach work- ed hard and the boys worked hard to make it a good season, but fate was against us. First we met our cross-town rivals, Sterling Township and took the bitter pill of defeat to the tune of 19-O. The score indicates nothing of the game which was the best played with the Warriors in many a year. Next came Savanna who had all but four returning letter- men of the championship team of 1950. It was a big upset for the Comets to take the Indians by a score of 13 to 6. Lyons overwhelmed Community 52-13 with a great dis- play of blocking and tackling. After a brief chat during halftime we outscored them 14 to 13 in the second half. The Comets went to DeWitt to play an inspired ball club on homecoming night and came home on the short end of a 19 to 7 count. The Morrison Mustangs with their split T whipped the under- dog Comets on homecoming night 26-6. In this game as in all the games the Comets outplayed the Mustangs in the sec- ond half. On a hot, wet Sunday afternoon Community went to Iowa to play St. Mary's ofClinton. We lost againg this time by the score of 13 to 0. Fulton played Community at Sterling stadium and the fans really got their money's worth this game. With the backfield and the line really clicking together the Comets won 44-0. The backs swept the ends and drove off tackle for 15, 20, and 25 yards at a time, but time and time again the referees had penalized Community, and the plays were called back. Community went to Rock Falls on a sub zero night, Nov- ember 2, and were beaten by the Rockets 39 to 6. It was a game where nothing went right for the Comets. Wawity Saou.: C.C.H.S. 0 ............
