Mew M1110 Upperclasslnen at lastl How we had looked for' ward to this! Having conquered our first two years at Green Tree, we were now ready to make this the hest year yet. We organized our class of thirtyf four strong hy holding our first hoinerooin meeting where the duties that lay hefore us were outlined. We discussed the eoining year and inade inany plans. From our previous experience at the Villa. we reali:ed that work was ahead of' us and decided then and there to spare no efforts to make everything in which we participated the aeine of' perfection. This was the attitude that so well typified the spirit ofthe Class of '52 and inade our junior year so happy and successful. THE IUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS-Mary Lou Hetherington, Elizabeth Bush, Pafriria Nicholson, Aliria Hussey, and Rose Kelly. Along with the prestige of uppcrelasslnen cainc many new responsihilities, the most important of which was our guardianship over our newly acquired little sistersf' Vkle shall always reineinher that iinf pressive cereinony where we pledged ourselves to he the perfect Whig sisters. We realized that we inust always give good example to the younger girls. This we did through our deportinent, cooperation and willingness to do a little more than our share. ln every project and drive we strove to give the whole' hearted interest and support of each and every junior. IUNIOR BLUE and While Team Captains, Beau Smith and Palriria Nirholson, tally icum points. Alicia Hussey and Elizabeth Bush ariviously auait fhe resulls.

Gm! Stem Typing and stenography were just words to us when we first began our Commercial Course but it was not long before we discovered their true meaning and the work it took to master them, Typing to the rhythm of music was 11 help to us as well as 11 novelty, Stenogruphy was all very new and tamseinuting. After the first few weeks we marveled as we wrote and resid our new sign language. Our progress, however, was .1 gradual one and only the zunbitious sueeeeded. Nezttness, ueeuraey and reliability, we were taught. are synonymous with 21 good business woman. With this in mind we pre' pared ourselves for the fastfeoming future. NIMBLE FINGERS make many strokes to the minute for these diligent typists who are so in- tent on their work. THE COMPLEXITIES of sfenogruphy are made less Ill-mflllt for these juniors as capable Eliza- beth Verna trunsrrihes the da-Vs lesson. mefwgmfg M www 'E lv,
