CLASS HISTORY The years of 1933 and'34 were the best years of the class of '52 because these were the years that most of them came into the world, On September 21, 1940, thirty-nine children entered the first grade. Only six of these thirty-nine finished at Pierceton High School. They are, Roberta Danner, Carol Lee Orr, Helen Mort, Bob Kilgore, Cloyse Rider, and Jim Gebert. In the second grade Ruth Flinton and Dean Harris joined us to fin- ish the remaining eleven years. For some unexplained reason, by the time we had reached the fourth grade our enrollment had dropped to twenty-six. But the coming of Elson Wilson gave us a little boost and the addition of Deane Musselman and Ronald Meredith during the fifth grade once more had our enrollment on the up-grade. Fifth and sixth grades provided our first taste of physical education which has proven a favorite subject of many members of the class. The seventh grade marked the halfway mark of our long journey through school. Here we picked up some more members who chose to finish at P.H.S. They were Robert Steckbeck, Bob Berfield, Herman Conley, Kenneth Mort and Bill Caudill, while in the eighth grade Carolyn Foster chose to join us from Warsaw, The freshman year was a great one, because we were now con- sidered in l-Iigh School. There were a few things whichwe didn't like too much, such as initiation, but like all true freshmen we lived through it. That year we received some recruits from Mon- roe. They were as follows: Wayne Slaymaker, Doris Oliver, Ed- ward Gregory, Dewayne Ulrey, Dick Birtwhistle, and Joy Werten- berger, Z1

On we moved into the sophomore year. We were no longer the tiny freshmen but the Mighty Sophomores. With Dick Reed, our sponsor, we got to work on our faraway senior trip by selling mag- azine subscriptions. We also won the subscription contest spon- sored by the Student. Our class was well represented in basketball that year, for the un- defeated B-Squad was composed largely of sophomores. That year the cheerleaders were chosen from the class also. They were Carol Orr, Carolyn Foster, and Wayne Bryant. It was during that year that we received two more recruits in personnel, namely Sharilyn Hood and Donna Rhoades. At Christmas time we pre- sented the play The Fragrance of Myrrh. During the last se- mester we sponsored a bingo game after a basketball game to boost our treasury. We ordered our class rings and then sat back and looked forward to our junior year. The junior year started off at a fast pace and continued the same throughout the year. Mrs. Hood and Mr. Mowrey were our very capable sponsors. Without them our class would have been in a very sorry shape. We elected officers and got right to work, We had a grand opening of our Junior Sales Room. Again we won the subscription contest. ' Early in the fall we received our class rings and after the usual trading. we all decided we were very well satisfied. When the basketball season came around we found the junior class again taking top honors. That year the cheerleaders were again chosen from our class although they were a different group this time. They were Helen Mort, Donna Rhoades, and Sharilyn Hood. To raise more money we sold Christmas cards and plastic towels. With all of the selling at noons and at the basketball games, we ' zz
