IUNIOR-SENIOR PROM The junior-senior prom was held in the auditorium on May 11, 1951. In the months preceding the prom, the seniors tried hard to guess our theme. They would walk into our room while we were having a meeting or else they just accidentally stayed after school while we were making flowers. The juniors, how- ever, kept their secret pretty well until the invitations were sent out. They gave our theme away because they had a little Dutch boy and girl on them. Yes, the juniors had chosen the Dutch theme. After many weeks of planning, ordering our invitations and favors, the big night arrived. Though it was not one of those balmy, spring evenings, one could not help but be excited. The dance started at 9:00 and the grand march began our wonderful evening. There were many ohs and abs as the couples walked onto the floor. The band was playing the theme song, The Little Dutch Mill. In front of the band was a wood- en shoe covered with flowers. The floor was divided by a lattice work decorated with yellow roses, the senior's class flower. The sky was a deep blue and the walls were a bright yellow. Pass- ing to the other side of the floor, the couples saw a huge wind- mill where the refreshments were served. On the table were memory books and wooden shoes filled with colorful tulips. The wonderful evening ended at 12:00, but the memory will always linger in our minds. -24-

ml IUNIORS - ...E .iv .ge Seated: Don Croy, Annbeth Sommers, Cathern Hadabaugh, Bill Pope. Standing: Miss Stauffer, Audrey Carrick, Norbert Drum, Mary Lou Schwab, Betty Frey. The small, but mighty, class of '52 entered their third year of high school with only six members. We gained three, however, Audrey Carrick, Dorothy Neal, and Norbert Drum, but lost Audrey and Mary Lou before the year finished. Norbert Drum was chosen treasurer to fill Mary Lou's position. Cathern Radabaugh was elected secretary. Athletics, as well as other extra-curricular activities, was a part of our year's work. Bill Pope was one of the first five on the basketball team and also went out for baseball in the spring. Don Croy was on the track team and Annbeth Sommers was chosen varsity cheer- leader. Annbeth and Don were elected president and vice president, respectively, at the beginning of the term. We juniors were confronted with money problems as every preceding class had been. To solve these problems we sold pencils, hats, and emblems. Selling various greeting cards was another money-raising project. We received our class rings on October 20. What a wonderful day that was! We have never stopped admiring them. The junior-Senior Prom, held on May 11, was the result of honest, hard work. It was fun, though, working to please the seniors. We also sponsored a Halloween Assembly and a Thanksgiving Chapel. We wish to thank Miss Stauffer, our advisor, for the help she has given us throughout our wonderful junior year.
