CLASS HISTORV We set the stage in 1939 when 57 amateurs entered the new elementary building. Our teacher was Miss Richardson. From 1940 to 1946 our teachers were: first grade, Miss Tappan; second grad, Miss Gibson; third grade, Miss Mackley and Miss Metzger; fourth grade, Miss Glassford, Mrs. Ashley and Miss Metzger; fifth grade, Mrs. Ashley, Mrs. Clarkson and Mrs. Weaver; and sixth grade, Mrs. Stine. We had our first real glimpse of High School when we entered the auditorium to participate in Honors Convocation at the close of our grade school years. Our first year in High School proved to be one of puzzled confusion and commotion. Our advisors were Miss Burns and Mrs. Sass. Our first real money making project was our carnival concession. To help make us known Joanne Curry and Jack Varty held the title of Prince and Princess. In the eighth grade Mr. Olson and Mrs. Wiley were our advisors. Mr. Olson left at the end of the semester, and Mr. Burgoyne came to take his place. In the ninth grade our class enrollment increased to 93 when students from St. Mary ' s and the rural schools entered S. C. H. S. The big event of our Freshman year was our first school party, the tra- ditional May Queen Dance. The dance was staged May 27 and was given the name, Flower Fantasy. This shall always be remembered by the class of ' 52 as one of their most outstanding accomplishments during their high school years . We had then become Sophomores and had the privilege of sharing the third floor with the Upperclassmen. Carol Tassie was chosen by the class to be a Homecoming attendant. In the spring we chose a company and ordered our class rings so that we would be able to have them early in our Junior year. When we returned to school in the fall we found ourselves only one step away from the finale of our High School years. We were then Juniors and our advisors were Miss Moran, Mr. Burgoyne and Mr. Thornton. Elaine Smith was Student Council President, and Sis Joachim was Secretary. Our Clairvoyant was headed by Shirley Beaudua, and Carol Tassie was Yell Leader. Our class rings arrived in November and made us feel quite important. In December we held a bake sale, and in April came our Junior play. Marie Stone and George Roegner played the leads in The Divine Flora. Both the bake sale and the play helped us financially in preparing for the Junior -Senior Banquet which was the highlight of our Junior year. We decided to entertain the Seniors at the St. Clair Inn. We were served a delicious turkey dinner and everyone thorougly enjoyed it as Ray Carlin played dinner music. Senator Frank Beadle was the guest speaker for the evening. The Holdens graciously furnished the orchestra for a dance which was held in the Elementary Gym immediately following the program. The class of ' 52 is very proud to have put on a Banquet that shall long be remembered by all who attended as one of the nicest every held. 14
