January 1952 Class Officers SHIRLEY WEBB JANET BERRY Vice-President Secretary TH HDR Uglresldenx Trea AMERON Class History Four years and several weeks ago, a freshman class was brought forth upon this campus, conceived in energy and dedicated to the prop- osition that they should graduate on the 24th of January, 1952. Together with the other senior section they produced the annual Junior dance Cranberry Ball , the Junior play, No Place to Park , the J -Hop, South Pacific , the Senior play, Ten Little Indians , the Senior dance, Christmas Cabaret and the Senior prom, Alice in Wonder- land. Along with these terrific achievements go the contributions this class offered inthe County Fair and other intraschool activities. This class was outstanding in that they chose girls to head their class inboth the Junior and Senior years. Sally Vasher was Junior president and helping her were Mitzi Berarov, vice-president, Eunice Smith, secretary and Janet Berry, treasurer. Leading the class down the aisle on Commencement night were Verna Church, valedictoriang Robert Galacz, salutatorian, and Joan Jagodzin- ski, third high. They were followed by class officers-Eunice Smith, president, Shirley Webb, vice-president, Janet Berry, secretary, and Horace Cameron, treasurer. Class colors were navy and powder blue and the flower was Talisman rose. Their motto was View Nothing as an End, but as a Horizon. Now we are engaged in a conflict between Communism and Democracy, testing whether that philosophy or any philosophy so conceived and dedicated can long endure. After graduation many were met with the patriotic duty of serving our country. We are willing to give our lives so that this nation will continue to live and be strong. We are willing to sacrifice part of our youth so that others will be able to have a free education. We shall do our best to preserve the democracy that so many have died for. To this end, let our class be leaders in restraining fanatic agitaters who want to rule our land and minds. Let our government be truly one, of the people, by the people and for the people. - Nancy Gee Sul-er
