' aw aafwaa We, the Class of 1952, find it difficult to say good-bye. But we have reached the all important point in our career -graduation-the time when the cherished, long-awaited diplomas will be placed in our eager hands. Our thoughts automatically turn to the day when we embarked on our voyage through Palmerton High School. The menacing waves of knowledge lashed angrily at our ship. We were destined for unknown joys and difficulties. As we reached our second year, with an eye to the future, we planned our course through uncharteted seas. Only with the aid of our sister-ships-Juniors, Seniors and faculty--were we able to survive. By our third year of service we had acquired sea legsg we were now more adapted to the routine of our duties. We set the pace for leadership, both in sports and social activities. Throughout our fourth year we displayed our athletic prowess by an undefeated football squad, and our dra- matic ability in the presentation of the comedy, Growing Pains. With our journey nearing its end we all looked forward to the Senior Prom. Finally our ship will drop anchor, our destination shall have been reached. With happiness for our success, but regret for those who have not completed the journey, we shall receive our cherished diplomas at Commencement. Some of our shipmates are looking forward to another voyage on the Sea of Knowl- edge, while others are satisfied with the knowledge they have acquired on this trip. It is safe to say, however, that proud of our past achievements and anxious for new opportunities, we will throw ourselves whole-heartedly into every worthy and noble venture. Obstacles are but a challenge to our courage. We recognize and appreciate the efforts exerted by our teachers, through whose guidance and patience we have come prepared to accept those challenges which will be offered in the wider fields opening before us. Those of us boarding the ship again, regretfully wave good-bye to those on shore-our loyal friends, teachers, and the sheltering arms of our Alma Mater. The joyful years that we have spent here we will never forget-Bon Voyage.
