HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1951 - 52 In the year of 1941, a group of children entered the first grade of Sanger School. Of this group remain two students who will graduate from Sanger High School this spring. They are Willene Rippey and Betty Burks. This grade was really a treat for us because after being in school a few weeks we suddenly found ourselves second graders. We joined Barbara Cole. Mrs. Virgie George was our teacher. When we entered the third grade with Mrs. Marguerite Riggs as our teacher, we gained these students: Jerry Lovell, Anna Hinzman, Betty Switzer and Patricia Harberson. The next year we found Mrs. Winnie Minick as our teacher who helped us struggle through the fourth grade. In the fifth grade we were confronted with Miss Cathlene Gentle who really did not hurt us but helped us on to the next grade. We gained Emillee Horst from Dallas. When we came to the sixth grade we had several teachers: Mrs. Virgie George, Mrs. Hestaline Burroughs and Miss Cathlene Gentle. This year we were glad to welcome Geneva Davis from Valley View and Georgia Blakley from Bolivor. As we entered the seventh grade we had Mrs. Cleo Lockhart as our teacher. Mrs. Cleo Lockhart greeted us at the door of the eighth grade room. As the year came to an end she said good - by to us when we managed to graduate into high school. During our Freshman year Mr. E.C. McMurry was our sponsor. This was our first year in the new building. Our Sophomore sponsor was Mr. Will H. Curtis. Ourjunioryearwasa big year for us because it was one of frenzied money raising because of the Junior - Senior Banquet. We were glad to have Mr. Curtis as our sponsor again. In 1951 we came to the first half of our final year. It was with both sadness and joy that we faced the prospect of this long awaited year. During the summer prior to this year we lost Geneva Davis and Emillee Horst who attended and graduated from Denton. Soon after the be -ginning of this eventful year Betty Sue Switzer left us to attend Denton also. This left us a very small but very enthusiastic Senior Class. The Senior Class as a group are planning on the Senior trip with our sponsor, Ken Kearns, and Mr. C.D. Allen.
