HI 'llllll 0F 'PHE ULASS 0F '52 O l l I I Seems like ages ago, but actually it wasn't very long ago when we were just another gang of Green Fresh- men . What an advancement from 'lowly grade school' . . . new experiences . . . new teachers . . . new curriculum . . . but it was all fun in spite of the big change. Room 7 and 8 were our report rooms . . . Miss Black and Mrs. Peters our homeroom guides to help us in our start at W. T. H. S. After the ordeal of class schedules and a series of introductions to new friends, we turned our attention to school activities. Tried to join them all, but found that wasn't possible . . . thus we devoted our energies on doing the best we could in the clubs we could join and working for a good homeroom assembly. We were successful in our efforts . . . the year rolled merrily along with class parties . . . wiener roasts . . . dances . . . fun of all sorts. We joined the mythical Royal family by electing Gene McGuire and Dolores Menk to the position of Lord and Lady of the freshmen class. Spring found us ready to be sophomores . . . content with our freshmen year . . . except possibly for not making the best of our scholastic opportunities. As sophomores we had climbed one rung in the ladder of high school society . . . but still had a lot to learn about the real work of going to school. We felt a little bigger . . . we frowned on lowly freshmen . . . we worked on some new ideas in assemblies . . . Room 4 under the guidance of Mrs. Bossart presented the Armistice day program and made it very impressive . . . Room 1 with Mr. Shontz at the helm . . . presented a variety skit in the spring semester . . . both were well received by the student body.

Class officers were elected with joe Whiten and Charles Farster as prexy and vice-prexy and Dolores Menk as money and record keeper. Our assembly program took a very serious international outlook as we reviewed the United Nations with student talks and special UN movie. The class dance to raise money for the Senior commencement flowers and the Junior-Senior Prom was a success . . . Mr. Yarnel put the responsibility of leadership for the work in the hands of the class officers and the success of the Yacht Club proved his faith in their ability. Things were progress- ing nicely and we were anticipating our big Junior-Senior Prom . . . when flames swept our reservations at Hillcrest Country Club right to the ground . . . with only one week until our big date . . . lunchtime that day saw Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Yarnel on a fast trip to New Kensington fMr. Y. always stays under the speed limitj and our life was the brighter for the trip . . . as we booked our reservations for The Wildlife Lodge . . . the Prom was beautiful . . . the year complete.
