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.

CLASS PROPHECY It has been about ten years since the Just think. Miss Holt, ten nice peaceful classmates of yester years, so I decided found. I packed my little black bag and way. Seniors of 1952 roamed the halls of dear old S. H. S. years! I have begun to feel a deep yearning for my to leave my little beauty shop and see who could be hopped into that old Ford of mine and started on my The most logical place to find many of my friends would be in the old home town, so that wasfirststop. I arrived just in time to make it out to the football game. I saw a familiar face and was greeted with Hi, Hippo. It was none other than THEJERRY LOVELL. As I was standing talking to Jerry, a small elderly lady came running up and started pounding him on the back. I knew you could do it, she kept repeating. It was Mrs. LeBeau. I guess she was really sur -prised whenjerry graduated from Arkansas University with honors. Mr. Ken Kearns really worked getting Jerry through school Poor guy, he's looking rather old these days. The next morning I was up bright and early and started on my search for old classmates. Old Faithful , the Ford, began to sputter a bit, so I pulled into the nearest garage and service station. It was here I found Frog. She checked mv car and we had a nice chat. She says she owes her ability to the Science Class and Soupie. I asked her to explain and she replied, Don't you remember my putting Soupie's model airplane motor together. I rolled out of the station and down main street. I parked the Ford and started to the drug -store but was attracted by a new business place. It was an attractive place with large pictures all around. I pushed open the door and was greeted by Georgia Blakely Lang. Upon chatting with her, I found she was now a commercial artist and quite often uses her two small children as models. I walked around the corner to the drugstore, bought a paper and was greatly pleased to find that Patricia Harberson had just been elected a Representative to Congress and chosen speaker of the House. She always could argue anyone down. Anna drove up in a Ford station wagon. Upon talking with her I found that she is doing quite well for herself. She said, WE are very happy on our little ranch. Anna asked me to drive out to see Betty Ann. She had just arrived home from Paris. She had been honeymooning on the Riviera with her cute little husband. Annaandl left Betty Ann's and went backto town where I got in my old Ford and headed for home. There has been a great change in the members of the graduating class of 1952, but just think what a change the next ten years will bring.
