What is so rare as the day in September, When you leave the grades and enter in To a world of bustling boys and girls, Who have found that through living and giving they’ll win. As Freshmen, we learned and as Freshmen, we thought; There were clubs to join and we began To understand what makes up a school day, And we all offered to lend our hand. In ’48 Betty Sue, Virleane, and Joy Lou Joined the loyal members of our class. The first two from Red Bank, the others from Monterey, Of the 31 Seniors, these were the last. In our Sophomore year, under Miss Persohn, We learned of diagrams, and a school paper started. It was christened, the Newstoter, after much debating; But after three issues, Miss Persohn departed. When we reached the lofty heights of Juniors, We found there was more to school than fun. Between the Junior-Senior Banquet, and the Christmas Party, We were kept very much on the run. The one-act Play and the Beta-Convention Set the Juniors a matchless pace. Joy Lou was crowned Miss Stuart Hi, And thoughts of our class ring brought joy to each face. Softball, Basketball, Volleyball, and Baseball; We never excelled but gave all a fight. Until fifty-one when our boys fairly won The basketball trophy, all gold and white. The Senior all-stars were Betty Sue and Linward, Their accuracy was grand to behold. The Stuart Boys journeyed on, still playing and winning, Unti l they won the State Championship, which was their goal. In the twelfth for our President, we chose Billy, With Kitty Hazelwood next in line. Janie was responsible for the minutes, And Betty Sue kept our dues and fines. Thus, we look forward and never back, To the Banquet, Graduation, and Senior Days; With our able sponsor, Mrs. Hazelwood, To help us put on the Senior Play. Then, in caps and gowns of blue and white. With memories enough to last for years, We ' ll salute Valedictorian, Peggy, and Salutatorian, Margaret, And receive our diplomas and smile through the tears. And as we all depart at last None of us need to confess, That the years have been perfect, and Stuart High School, Started us on the happy road to success. Historians: JANIE NANCY VIRLEANE LEONARD

CLASS PROPHECY Dear Diary: I can hear gay laughter on deck as I watch the stars through the windows in my cabin on board the Marroniah. We started the week-end cruise with a group of boisterous people who were on board and settled when I arrived on deck. Most of the people were overjoyed to be out on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. Many grand activities have been p lanned to make this the best trip ever. This thought in mind I will continue later with my diary and go on deck to visit some of the folks aboard. As I walked on deck I heard a loud crash and people gathered around. In the midst of them, to my amazement there was Frank Harris (whom I never could forget) a great comedian doing some of his usual stunts. As I looked about me I found to my great surprise there were going to be several of the Class of ’52 here. As the evening wore on I found that many of my former classmates had varied in their occupations and several of them had become famous to the public. There was Helen Scott and Elinor Ray Owens who had become famous through their singing and dancing and had just finished a hit on Broadway. Glancing to the far end of the deck I saw Mrs. Hazelwood (our Senior homeroom teacher) looking as young and pretty as ever with Mr. Hazelwood talking to Lennis Martin and her husband who had just received a degree in medicine. Just then a large gale arose and the gust of wind prompted me to enter a large room where a ball was being held. There in the center of the room whirling in an exaggerated English Ballet Dance was joy Lou Simmons looking very much the same as she did at Stuart High. Seated at the piano was Peggy Lou Hopkins who through training had reached the peak of her profession as a concert pianist. Then I caught a glimpse of a couple of young ladies who were standing with open mouths gazing at a rather large, broad- shouldered man with a vacuum cleaner in his hand. Looking closer I discovered that the man was Aaron Wood, who gained his experience as a salesman at the Stuart candy store. As this wonderful evening has almost passed I have learned many things about the professions and businesses of the Class of ’52. The best part of the evening was the great-surprise of my former classmates being here with me. Of course all of this was arranged by our Secretary of State, Billy Gunter. I, the Captain of this ship, retire now to my quarters where I shall have wonderful news for my diary. I shall continue where I left off by telling something about each one of the Class of ’52 at Stuart High who were on board tonight. I will tell you first about my right-hand man, Page Clark (who everyone thought) made a wonderful FIRST Mate. Janie Handy has become a well known artist and promised to paint a picture of my ship.
