In memory of Frank Floyd, our classmate... Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care; The opening bud to Heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there. COLERIDGE

We dedicate our annual of ’52 to the Senior Class Teachers, who have helped us so much in many ways. Their patience and fine ability to guide has been unsurpassed. We are indebted to MRS. CLAYTON for the personal interest she has taken in us as individuals — MRS. CROWELL, who leaves a high regard and lasting impression to all her students — MISS HESTER, for her patience in guiding us cor- rectly in much of our organizational work — MRS. NICHOLS, who is unsurpassed in her ability to prepare her students for college, and who also sheds a radiant and humorous outlook on life upon everyone. To all of these teachers we offer our deepest appreciation for their unerring efforts in preparing us for what they know we will need in later life.

Jimmy Warren Garland Pass CO-EDITORS “Burning the midnight oil” is no longer an obsolete phrase—as far as we are concerned. In the midst of some of our meetings (?), some of us wondered if we didn’t need a long, quiet rest in a mental institution. It was a lot of work for both of us and the annual staff, but when the last picture was put in place, the last period typed, and those glorious words, “The End,” written, we realized how much fun it had been, and we were glad that we had been able to do our part in producing the 1952 Rocket. Here is a picture record of your 1951-52 school year . . . the familiar spots on the school ground .. . your cherished friends . . . your favorite hang- outs .. . school dances . . . class highlights . . . the classrooms where you labored. We hope this 1952 Annual will serve you (until you reach the ripe old age of “lebenty-leben”) as a reminder of your happy experiences of this school year.
