Well, that completes our roster of 50 strong . . . my watch shows ll :OO . . . just one more hour to go . . . as our Junior year commenced we immediately probed deep into the social cal- endar . . . our first big event . . . our Junior play, You Can't Take lt With You . . . was the first Broadway play ever produced at Speed- wayl . . . Then the Junior Prom. . . Moonlight Serenade . . . l never did see so many jitter- buggers, but l guess that was due to the irre- sistible jive of Harold Cork's orchestra .... We had watched our boys help the class of '52 through a successful football season and now we looked with anticipation towards basketball . . . and a success it was. . .the l95l -'52 ball club won both the Marion County and Sectional titles . . . but we fellas weren't the only Champs in sports . . . our girls' G. A. A. team captured the basketball tourney right out from under the seniors of '52 .... During this season we became the cake and candy kings . . . selling everything but the art room sink to anyone who would part with their mad millions . . . iselling concessions at the B. B. gamesi . . . ofcourse this was all to finance the big social event of the year . . , the Junior-Senior Reception . . . iheld at the Marott Hotell, wined, dined, and danced the Seniors of '52 . . . at the annual Athletic Dance we proudly saw Diane Pleyte, Jane Beaman, Gayle Gwinn, and Kenny Boyer serving in the King and Queen's court .... Tom Genung was elected to be top man in the Student Council , . . on Honor Day Jane Beaman and Avis Belcher qualified for the Honor Society .... The big men of our Junior Year were our class officers . . . Kenny Boyer, president, me as veep, Ted Beeler, secretaryg Larry Heston, treasurerg and Mr. Floyd Troth, sponsor. Now, on to this year , . . our last . . . the clock hands now point straight up . . . l2 o'clock and the twelfth grade . . . first it was football season with Kenny Boyer and Ron Vance co-captaining . . . basketball season brought a share of the Mid-State Crown . . .Tom Richards helped Mims Hoerger through the yelling season . . . l8 of us are in the band, 20 vocalists in the chorus . . . Tom Genung was elected President of Student Council, again, at the sensational Student Coun- cil Convention . . . 3h of the clubs boast senior presidents . . . Phyllis Dobbins was added to Honor Society . . . Bob Curtis imel reigns as the Athletic King. . . my senior team members, Dick Downs, Tom Genung, Dave Endres, were my court . . . in the feminine sports department the Senior gals again copped G. A. A. tourney . . . and as this is being written the cinder men with a brand new track, along with the future Babe Ruths, are outside practicing, trying to fatten up our lead on the All-Sports Trophy . . . others are busy in the journalism room with the Speedette and this annual . . . others are practicing for our dramatic debut 'Not ln A Thousand Years given April 24th . . . still others are relieved now that our Senior Prom, Midnight Masquerade, is over. Yep, it's about over and May 26 will bring down the final curtain for 50 Speedwayites -Yes, looking at the clock hands we realize they point straight up and ahead, into a future which can hold many fond memories of our school, Speedway High School .... Now as we embark upon the troubled and uncertain world we realize that We Can't Take lt with Us . . . not the good times . . . not our friends or teachers . . . not the ballgames . . . nor the dances . . . but also we realize that Not ln A Thousand Years will we ever experience any- thing as great as Speedway High School.
