The mounting tension of our coming graduation that fol- lowed the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. The happiness and sadness that we all felt at our Graduation Service. Also there are CAMPUS “Alma Mater, Alma Mater. 1 The training Mrs. Mathis gave us during our Fresh- man year helped us to en- joy the library. Many attractive dresses were made in the sewing classes. Though a “dead language ' Mrs. Smith's Latin II was quite alive. In Mrs. Massey's biology lab we actually saw the structure of many parts of the body. VIEWS Studying the history of our country in Miss Ogletree’s class was very interesting. There were many dif- ferent parts in our shop classes and Mr. Hamil made them all very in- teresting. We have many opportunities to use the typing knowledge we gained in Mrs. Scar- borough’s class. THE DEDICATION To Mrs. Grady Massey — the one whose ready smile, provident counsel, quick understanding and sympathy have endeared her to each of us as an efficient, and superior work supervisor and a true friend, we, the Class of 1952, dedicate the SANDSPUR!

These ideals are the joining together of the efforts and the contributions, the visions and the inspirations that have been offered us by our teachers and fellow students. On leaving, they have given to us the will to attain still higher standards, the desire for increased wisdom, and the enthusiasm to keep high that spirit which has made Valdosta High School so dear to our hearts. CUJL.VM Editor-in-chief — Congratulations to Charlie Hill for being chosen the Best All-Round Senior. The Junior-Senior Dance was a great success and we shall always treasure the wonderful memories of it. °n this° %� - Go° Oit, ' '• were WILLIAM G. NUNN B.S., Auburn; M.S..

Secretary of the Valdosta Public Schools. “Let me but live my life from year to year with forward face and unreluctant sbul; not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal; not mourning for the things that disappear in the dim past, nor holding back in fear from what the future veils; but with a whole and happy heart that pays its toll to Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer. So let the way wind up the hill or down, o’er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy; still seeking what I sought when but a boy, new friendships, high adventure, and a crown, my heart will keep the courage of the quest, and hope the road’s last turn will be the best.” I wish for each and every members of the senior class of 1952 the very best that life can give. We shall always remember you and the contribution you made to a successful 1951-52 school year. God bless you. PRINCIPAL HOWELL C. MARTIN B.S., Georgia Teachers College; Graduate work, Duke Univer- sity; Mercer U. There comes a time in the life of all people when they want to put something into a form that can be looked upon and remembered fondly in future years. That is because they feel very strongly that they are about to lose something that can never be regained. That may be so, but our lives are built upon new philosophies gained through new experiences and understandings. As you students continue to add to your philosophy, may you never lose sight of your first step at recording your spirit for your future inspiration and for thte in- spiration of others. May this spirit, which is yours alone, lead you on, and on. and onto greater things in life. BOARD OF EDUCATION Standing, left to right: Mr S. L. Mason, Mr. Jimmie Jones, Dr. J. R. Thaxton, Dr. F. B.

The schools of our country constitute our real bulwark of freedom and of liberty. 'Here we train those who must succeed to the responsibilities of government from the humblest office in the community to the Presidency of the nation. There can be no more important time in the life of a boy or girl than the period in which he or she is prepared for those responsibilities. We strive to give you the best of opportunities to the end that we may have freedom forever! We have had a good year, and we can look with confidence to the taking of your places of responsibility.

It is impossible to estimate how many lives were saved by the watchful care of the boys who were on duty at every dangerous intersection when pupils were crossing. The Junior Police is composed of those boys who are willing to serve early and late to protect their classmates. At every football game the boys were found on duty. The Valdosta police force, khe sheriff, and various civic organizations made generous contributions of time and money to insure a successful year of service.

To build strong Christian characters in our group of freshmen and sophomore girls. Even as the football team of V.H.S. worked for the State Championship title this year, the Junior Tri-Hi-Y worked for its “A Honor” rating. Two winning “touch- downs” were scored by the members when the Thomas Junior Tri-Hi-Y at Junior High School was organized and when daily radio talks by several local ministers were sponsored. Also securing points were the projects on Church Loyalty. Clean Sportsmanship, Safety. Intercultural and Racial Understanding and Vocational Guid- ance. Giving invaluable support throughout the year were our “coaches.” Mrs. Mel Smith and Mrs. Holly Howell.

VALDOSTA HIGH SCHOOL BAND Under the direction of Gene A. Sturchio for the last three years, the band has become very popular with the fans at the football games for their outstanding and unique drills led by the high stepping Drum Major, Betty Pittman. The band took first place in the district this year and played for a number of outside activities. The band has been invited to participate in the Gasparilla at Tampa, Florida for the last three years; they were the only out-of-state band taking part in this large affair. At the present time there are 85 members in the marching band, 125 in the Junior High School Band, and 65 in the Concert band.

At football camp before school started, the outlook was indeed an unpromising one. The team lacked weight, experience, and reserves—Bl T—never did they lack a fighting spirit that was to carry them through one of the most outstanding seasons in VHS history. True, three games were lost, but two to class AA teams, and one to a junior college. Always, the Cats came through in the clutch with an indomitable aggressiveness that couldn’t be overcome. So here’s to the 1951 Wonder Team, that brought glorv to VHS. THE 1951 STATE The 1951 Football Squacl First row, left to right: Parramore, Hill, Shaw, Renfroe, Williams.

For the first time in 'Dosta history, the Wildcats' tennis team won the State Championship. The doubles team, composed of Sonny Wainer and Willie Webb with Max Taylor as alternate, forged through the Regional Tournament, defeating Waycross and Thomasville. At the State Meet in Macon, the boys came from be- hind to beat LaGrange in the semi-finals and then overcame Avondale for the Cham- pionship. Here’s hoping the boys, being only Sophomores, can repeat their feat in the years to come. V a JT Ki .AVjOW-, Kags JWpWipiWi oot£ ,'iT v ■ v Xv, SffiK'.' ,v ' .TAATT's 'A , v TTAA TAA TT':; !
