THE CLASS OF '52 North Webster has a Senior Class, Its members number Twenty It is the class of '52 Who have accomplished plenty. Ruth Witmer and her Foy And Charlotte with her 'Slew' All seem to think it won't be long With wooing they'll be through. The girls have been outnumbered, For several years they say. But when it comes to making grades You can not beat an A. Jean Valentine has eyes that roll Beyond the men folks here; Yet Effie Himes has such a time To know which male is dear. The boys are strong and rugged With brains and looks you bet, They aren't the onery rascals Nor just a teachers pet. Gwen and Marilyn are old time pals They've been together a lot And when it comes to doing things. They can not be forgot. With eleven men and women nine The class has done their best And in the years they'll take their place Along with all the rest. Ed and Art, the inseparable two, Have serious thoughts in view. Leroy and Jerry with their autos two Give the sky a color other than blue. With Jim as Prexy and Gwen as Vice, And Marilyn and Peg as officers too, The Senior Class has reached their goal As all good Seniors hope to do. There are three Jims in this dear class, All noted for their names. Jim Payne is skilled in leading yells While Hill and Bransford for shunning dames. The other members of the class Have done their duty well To make this year the best of all For a school that is really swell. Don and John make quite a pair They like their ping pong too, While Lynn and Jack to say the least Are very efficient in whatever they do. To name the members of the class It won't be hard to do Jean Carson is the first we name As she was the first one through. Blosser and Royer, both sponsors are they, And willing to aid in every way With help occasionally from ahead and behind The class now is ready for Commencement Day. You seldom hear a word from Barbara, She keeps her thoughts from you. And Peggy Jordan is just the same She's mighty cautious too. When you look back in this old book Ten years from now in '62 You'll wonder then, could this be me What a youngster then in '52. So farewell, farewell to Webster Hi. You have done a lot for us We hope that in the years fo come You'll always be proud of us.

CLASS HISTORY The Class of '52 started out as green Freshmen with 19 members. When we moved on to the Sophomore year, we gained five new classmates; Marilyn Ringler, Karol Dettweiler, Lee Owen, Dwight Staley and Jean Carson. We also lost three of the five members before the year was over. They were Lee Owen, Dwight Staley and Karol Dettweiler. We had several bake sales during the year to make money. Our Junior year was a very busy one. We sold concessions at noons and at ball games, and we sold Christmas cards. Over our summer vacation we had a bake sale, and sold concessions during the wrestling matches at the Mermaid Festival. We gained two new members; Gwen Gawthrop and Jim Hill, and lost two of the old members; Colleen Bartman and Jeanette Smith. Well, our Senior year has rolled around already. We only have four charter members in the class. They are; Jim Payne, Arthur Engleberth, Peggy Jordan and Effie Himes. We gained one new member this year which is Jerry Leedy from Pierceton. So far we have had many activities during these last few months at N. W. H. S. LIONS CLUB BANQUET The Senior Class of North Webster High School served the Lions Club a baked ham dinner in the cafeteria on January 1, 1952 at 5:30 pm. The tables were decorated with fir boughs and the club's colors. Ruth Fidler had charge of the food preparation and was helped in the afternoon by Effie Himes, Gwen Gawthrop, Jean Carson, Barbara Freeman, Eddie Blue, Jim Payne, Leroy Kanafel, Jack Jerriad and Lynn Overmeyer. Peggy Jordan was the chairman for the decorating committee and helping her were Ruth Witmer, Charlotte Smith and Leroy Knafel. We all helped serve the family style dinner and ended up serving 116 people which was the largest Lions group served for some time. After the meal was over they were entertained by some of the talented students of our school. S. M. MOTOR SALES’ E.
