Senior Recognition Day, class meetings, invitations, and plans for Baccalaureate and Graduation were all care- fully explained and carried out under the co-guidance of the Misses Ruth Welle and Doris Burritt. Under them, our high school career was brought to a successful close. Under the capable leadership of our Freshman officers, Dean Zellar, Darlene Clark, Norma Miller, and Wanda Rhoades, we started out our high school life with the Freshman Mixer held on October 9, 1848. The enthu- siasm which has made our class one that will be long remembered at S.H.S. was shown by the large attendance of the members to our first high school party. Our freshman year ended on a gay note with the Freshman picnic held at Sinnissippi Park in June. The occasion was a happy one for all of us as we had finished our pro- bation period as freshmen and looked forward to the next year when, as Sophomores, we could take a more active part in the life at S.H.S. Don Knight, Nancy Kunde, Beth Myers, and George Schneider directed our class our Sophomore year. The Soapbox Serenade was another successful activity sponsored by the class of '52, This was the first all- school dance given by us, and again we showed our ability to work together as one group to produce a well- organized project. Six members of the class were inducted into the Na- tional Honor Society the last semester of our Junior year. The Junior-Senior Prom, An Enchanted Eve- ning, was the highlight of the year. The theme was fairyland, and everyone really seemed to have an en- chfnted evening. During this year our class was led by Bob Smith, Karl Kilberg, Wallie Pepper, and Jeannie Sterenberg. eniofzs Bvisofzs Miss Doris Burritt and Miss Ruth Welle 4167
