Sept. 1948: 85 frightened freshmen arrived on Shorter Hill. Then— bedlam! The old girls relmned, rushing began, and before long we had chosen our ' society. Screams everywhere —ratting had begun. That was soon to end however and we felt closer as a class. VVe chose Liz as our president and soon our big sisters gave us a party and oiu banner— 1952. Then the Vhoop-em-u]3 Uniting Ceiemony and oin first party for our big sisters. The Old South came through on top and we were now look- ipig forwaril to oiu ' Sophomore year. Sept. 19-19: We were So]jhomores now! VVe were old girls aiul did the rushing and ratting. We had lost a few members of our class but we were 80 in nimiber. Liz was oiu leader again and we were soon singing to our big sisters on Senior Hall. Christmas time and we started a new tradition— singing before break- fast. Then came Sports ' Awards Day and we ere the proud parents of six cups including the generation cup. We ended this year with a daisy chain that was all daisies and a thrill that we coiddn ' t express as we sang Dreams for the first time. There was a lump in our tl ' .roats as we said goodbye to the Class of ' 50 but we were looking forward to having oiu o vn little sisters , the Class of ' 54. Sept. 1950: Our Jiniior year and how we had dwindled! At last our little sisters were a reality and 41 thrilled ' 52ers sang Dreams to them with Spikcr at the helm. Spring again and our little sisters ' party for us. We were mighty proud as we attended the Shorter State Fair . Again it was Sports ' Awards Day and although we didn ' t have as many cups this year we had the biggest— the Participation Cup— and were we proud of it! Class day and for the first time we put on those caps and gowns. Sept. 1951: We were Seniors— it was oin year and we were more than a little frightened as the thoughts of comprehensives came into mind. Wedding bells had called several mem- bers of our class but there were still 32 of us, led by Mitey . Springtime again and another wonderfid party given by oiu ' little sisters. This time the Wizard of Oz was riding over Whoop-em-up Land and our hearts almost burst with pride. Those four years that had seemed so far away in ' 48 now come to a close and as we leave we turn over the red and blue ideals of Whoop-em-ups to the Class of 1954 hut— The dreams ice love best live luitli us always .
