we trium T When we, the seniors of 1952, walked down the aisle to receive our diplomas, many of us had tears in our eyes. We were thinking of our past record on the high school path. As we looked hack over the years we realized what success we had in all our endeavors. We enrolled in high school as the most determined group of sophomores ever to attend Norman High. We worked hard, not only in studies, bur also in activities. We remember our first Trail queen con- test and how we won it by a landslide majority. We remember the Honor Society assembly when seven of our sophomore class mcmi crs were recognized as honorary members, a new record. Still working hard, the juniors of 1951 earned more honors. The excitement of our second victory in the queen race will never tie forgotten as many of us were present when the boys brought in the coffee can lids to cinch the contest. We remember the junior play and the Tiger Tales, published to raise money for the Junior-Senior banquet and prom. We remem- ber it as a year when even work was fun. With the close of our junior year, the class of '52 vowed to make our last year on the licatcn path of high school life one of progress and achievement. .Moss Brown Ruth Bauer Hal Belknap George Bell Carol Gene Blackwood Joan Boggs Gary Braman John Brinkley Jack Brown Joncll Brown Kenneth Brown Benny Bruce Richard Bryant Vera Bvington Victor Cain [IHI
