' vguwgfmxvgs When we the Class of '52 entered high school in Septem- ber of l948, we were a group ot confused and bewildered Freshmen. The story on this page is the story of our growth during our first three years of high school. The first weeks of high school were exciting, but trying, what with hazing, an enlarged. program of studies, and the scope of high school life. Easing our transition were the faculty, especially Mr. Becker, our advisor. We were formally received into the student body Sep- tember 28 at the Freshman Reception tfig. ll and dance. For a Week preceding the 28th we wore silly costumes and hairdos, and were constantly on our knees bowing to Sophomores. The first time we tried our Wings at an activity we held a record dance in the gym, which we decorated with bal- loons. Next came a roller skating party at Modesto. Also in the winter we had another dance and another skating party, had a float in the Homecoming parade, had conces- sions at games, and presented skits at rallies. In the spring We had a picnic at Hagaman Park. The memorable event was a fitting climax to an enjoyable year. ln September we found ourselves Sophomores. We immediately set about making plans for the Freshman Reception and dance held on October 7. Under the super- vision of Sarah Oliveira and her committee, the Freshman Reception with its pirate theme proved to be an enjoyable affair. During our second year in high school we also had record dances, concessions at games, and skits at rallies. When our Sophomore year ended, Mr. Becker left Ores- timba. We were sad to see him go for many reasons. However, we were glad to have as his successor, Mr. Mclntosh. As luniors many activities were ahead of us. First, we had a candy saleg next came the Iunior Play. Under the supervision of Co-Chairmen Donald Crow and Mary Iane Caluya, lt's a Date was staged on December l4 by the Drama Class tfig. 25 directed by Mrs. Shaw. Next, super- vised by Dick Hollister and his committee, we held the Christmas Party. Then came our biggest and most successful activity, the Iunior Prom on April 20 Cfigs. 3 and 43. Created by loann Ford and her committee the prom with the theme Hawaiian Paradise, according to many, was the most beautiful lunior Prom in the history of the school. Several weeks of painting Cfig. 55 and decorating were spent in preparation. When it was all over everyone knew it was worth it. Mr. Becker: We would like to dedicate this page of the l952 Tom Tom to you in appreciation for all that you did for us during the first half of our high school days. We will remember you always. Sincerely, The Class of '52 MR. WILLIAM BECKER Our former class advisor rt W gs 1 E tr . . ,.-, H i f l 1 i--f : I ti ' f .,., . ::::'i --QV 5.-tl.. 5 .
