©bt t)«r«gon Qrrf the spencerian SPENCER HIGH SCHOOL 1930-1952 Published by the SENIOR CLASS OF 1952 Spencer High School Columbus, Georgia dedication BECAUSE of his unlimited talent as an educator, his un- dying faith in youth, his memorable achieve- ments which have helped to make Spencer High School a credit to the city and state, his varied participation in civic affairs, his seventy years of experience which more than qualify him to give invaluable advice, his un- selfish devotion to duty, his great contribu- tions to the vocational field, his straightfor- wardness and mettle, his outstanding service to the Church, school, and community, we, the Class of '52, proudly and affectionately dedicate the 1952 edition of The Spencerian to the amiable Professor GEORGE FRANKLIN RIVERS foreword Nothing tried, nothing done,- nothing ventured, nothing won. Any success is measured by the total amount of earnest la- bor put into the effort by all concerned with it. There must always exist a firm belief that any goal is ultimately attainable. The hours spent in preparing this year's Spencerian are illimi- table. All of the parents, teachers, students, and the principal have contributed directly or indirectly to the success of this endeavor. It is with profound gratitude that we acknowledge the cooperation of those concerned with this effort. We well realize that dealing with 118 seniors is an extremely difficult task. But Principal C. W. DuVaul has found time to aid us in our endeavors and guide us in solving our problems. His sound advice has proven beneficial to us today, and it will have unlimited influence on our post-graduation lives. The faculty has played an important part in our scholastic lives. Certainly, their instruction has not been limited to school books. Their sponsorship of co-curricular activites has provided a large amount of the social pleasure that we have enjoyed during our five-year stay at Spencer High School. We are especially grateful to our class advisors, Mr. G. E. Pope, Mrs. R. E. Childs and Miss C. M. Webb, for their patience and understanding in counseling with us. We are fortunate to have them as the source of inspiration that is constantly in demand. We are appreciative of the fact that several individuals have, without any provocation whatever, been of great assistance to us in our efforts. For these reasons, we awaited commencement with no noticeable amount of anticipation. Our cherished memory of school days at Spencer shall be enduring. THE SENIOR CLASS 1952 W. H. SHAW A. B., M.

And on this stage the characters appear, each knowing well he has a part in life's drama. This drama is a strange one, for even the characters do not know whether it is comedy, tragedy or historical drama in which their parts are cast. As Act I unfolds, we find approximately one hundred and fifty char- acters making up the cast, coming from Claflin, Meeler Hill, Manly Taylor and Fifth Avenue Elementary Schools, with their directors, Mrs. F. C. Durden, Mrs. A. T. Hudson, Mr. B. F. Lawion, Miss L. B. Benjamin, Miss C. M. Webb, and Mr. G. E. Pope. Yes, the first year found each freshman alert and anxious to become accustomed to changing classes and fitting into the high school program. Act II finds each performer with an air of self-confidence, not evident before. We found members of the cast participating in all of the extra- curricular activities around the school. With a new director, Mrs. R. E. Childs, coming into the scene, we find each character eager to perform. In Act III the plot begins to thicken. It found us proud sophomores and welcoming new members to the cast, coming from Radcliffe High School, and two new directors. Miss C. J. Kynds, and Mr. R. B. Barnhardt. Ah! The Fourth act! Time flies doesn't it? Only a short time ago we were freshmen, and now we are sophisticated Juniors. This indeed was the year of glorious events. Everyone was eagerly making last minute prepara- tions for the Junior Senior Prom. The curtain now rises for Act V, and the final scenes. We are now dignified seniors, looking forward to graduation. Our hearts are saddened because some of the members of our cast are not performing for various reasons. There are one hundred and eighteen members of the cast. Life is indeed a drama. We have performed the last Act of this par- ticular drama of our lives. As we pass off the scene, there will be others to take our places for os Shakespeare has said All the world's a stage, and all the men and women, merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts.

Farewell to you, as we depart We'll cherish you in all our hearts Forever and ever aloft. And now we say thanks to you for your care. Appreciation will become our air. Farewell to you, our loyalty is ever nigh. We say goodbye, Dear Spencer High. And so, farewell once more, dear Spencer High Fond memories of you as we go ever nigh Farewell to you, we'll always try To uphold dear old Spencer High Forever and ever aloft. And as we journey on life's long highway Your name will linger with us everyday Your name will linger with us everyday Farewell to you, we'll always cherish thee We say goodbye, dear Spencer High. CLASS POEM And now we stand just where we have seen Four classes stand before At last we see that long awaited dream Now being fulfilled. II We hate to leave old Spencer High Saying goodby makes us cry As we recall five years now gone by We hate that this time is nigh llll We'll keep and keep that light That flame within our hearts That has been kindled in us here IV And so to you We bid adieu We shall remember you May God bless us wherever we may go So that success we'll know. Graduation! Now what? The answer to this o.uestion, dear seniors, lies not in the astrological bodies of the heavens, but within you and your sense of values—your moral, spiritual, social and intellectual values. These values, impracticable though they may seem, will determine largely your own growth beyond the walls of Spencer, your suc- cess or failure, your happiness or sadness. They will affect the role you play in helping to make a better and more secure world in which to live. The emphasis that you place then, on the balance between right and wrong, good and evil will be very important as you leave Spencer to go and share your lives with men and women in a more mature but precarious world. For five years, you have labored tirelessly to reach this important landmark in your lives. You have had to with stand many perils, eradicate and suppress many fears and remove many obstacles. Because of your perseverance and ingenuity, your prayers and the prayers of your parents and teachers have been answered. You must not, how- ever, as Ulysses cautioned his men, Rust unburnished, not shine in use. But you must let your reach exceed your grasp, sail beyond the golden sunset, and surely you will encounter that prize of success for which many men strive but so few attain. We shall miss you at Spencer, for certainly the ring of your voices, the sound of your laughter and the treads of your footsteps have become familiar charms not easily to be forgotten. As your advisors, and teachers we have nurtured and watched your intellectual, and in many instances, moral, physical, social and spiritual growth. We are cognizant of your frailties and imperfections. These are common to all mankind. Like- wise, we are proud of your virtues and achievements. We, therefore, in our last message to you, petition the Almighty God to bestow His divine blessings upon you and to guide you in whatever tasks you undertake. MRS. R. L. CHILDS MR. G. E. POPE MISS C. M. WEBB THE PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Members of the Class of 1952: You are now about to join that innumerable caravan of illustrious boys and girls, which moves slowly towards the Land of Success. Each year as I watch boys and girls join this grand procession, I feel a tinge of sadness. As I look at you, full of life, energy and ambition, I tremble with fear which is intensified when I think of the type of world into which you must ultimately go. The one vital question which comes to all seniors at this moment is, graduation, now what? The most memorable words ever spoken were, It is finished. These words were spoken during the most tense moment in the history of the world—crucifixion. You might use the same words in so far as your scholastic career at Spencer High School is concerned, but, in reality you are just beginning. You will now begin to live, you will begin to grow, you will begin to make your way in the complex world in which you find yourselves. For a number of years many of your pathways will run parallel, but soon time and fate will separate them and you will find that each one will chase his own fantasy. Some will go to higher institutions of learning, while some wiH make their places as good citizens in this and many other communities. Wherever you go or whatever you do, re- member that, Knowledge is power and you must continue to study in order that you might not become stagnant. My final word to you is in the language of Lord Chesterfield: Knowledge is a comfortable and necessary retreat and shelter for us in an ad- vanced age; and if we do not plant it while we are young, it will give us no shade when we grow old.
