MR. KNOLES’ FAREWELL MESSAGE To the Seniors: TT HAS been a real privilege and a great pleasure to have been associated for three years with the Class of ’52.

It is an earnest hope that Paly has contributed much to your growth and development and that you will always remember Paly with a warm spot in your heart. Be assured that she will always hold one for you! Goodbye and the best of good fortune to each one of you. TULLY KNOLES

Yes, it seems like ages ago that we were in grammar school. Coming from Addison, Channing, Lytton, Mayfield, Stanford and Walter Hays, we first represented our class as seventh graders at Jordan. While we were still enjoying our glory in graduating from Junior High School, we suddenly found ourselves at the beginning again, and we felt awfully lost in the bargain. As the record draws closer and closer to the end, we look back for a minute on our Paly days. As sophomores, we wondered what this new ’plant'’ was all about. We sponsored the 52 class party, ’’Sophomore Shenanigans. We ordered our class rings. Our soph football team won the PAL. As juniors, we sponsored the annual Junior Prom with the theme, ’’Lost in the Stars. Our football players helped guide the Paly varsity to an unde- feated season and the PAL crown. Peggy Mudgett represented us at Girls’ State and Dan Cathcart and Gary Williams represented Paly at Boys’ State. Be- fore long the hubbub and excitement of spring elec- tions faced our class, as we wondered who would be our leaders next year. Last, but not least, as seniors we once again won the PAL in football, and also won it in basketball, water polo and swimming. Our class inaugurated the highly successful Senior Prom. Highlight of the fall was the Showboat” Girls’ Jinx, and the spring highlight was the annual stage production, Lost Horizon, by James Hilton. Next came finals, baccalaureate services, Senior Week and Commencement. This record is over, but the Class of 1952 will now start grooving new and more important rec- ords in college, in occupations, or perhaps in service to their country.
