seniors Twelve years together! To phrase it that way, it sounds as if it were a long time. When we start rem- iniscing, however, it seems only yesterday that ..... Jay Jackson had to stand in the corner the first day of kindergarten, and Jack Strobel became a Romeo at an early age by kissing Carole Hudlow. Remember in the first grade when Sara Law played Black Mumbo, and Dan Den Uyl did a strip-tease act as Black Sambo? We'll never forget the high door knob on the boys' restroom door, and the many skinned knees we ac- quired on the playground from playing air plane and Blackman. ln Mr. Davis's room we played eraser tag and roller-skated up and down the aisles. lt was then Lois Lathrope, with her one weak knee and her satchel, arrived in our class. Poor Elaine Cummins fainted on the way to Davis's farm for our 6th grade picnic, and Joan Beeson almost sat on a water moc- casin. A mock graduation ceremony by Miss Jordan's room pictured Edith Corley as a skunk farmer and Ralph Johansen as a surgeon. Our first acquaintance with Junior High School was made on a guided tour through the building. That same day we took our first daring and exciting slide down the fire chute!! We'll never forget Miss Pease's dancing classes and the boys' strange disappearing act through the window back stage. Our future ath- letes considered football more important than learn- Page 20 Heading the senior class this year are, left to right, Dale Snelling, vice-president, Edith Corley, secretary, Mary Jo Logan, treasurer, John Heim- lich, president, and Mr. Donald Fites, sponsor. ing the foxtrot! Probably the most outstanding recol- lection of Junior High is our trip to the Museum of Science and lndustry in Chicago. Remember our awe- some faces in the coal pit and Mr. Curtis's watchful eye during the bus trip home?! It seems we were the first class to be initiated into his Club 7. During our first high school days we thought our- selves true linguists when we learned to say Britania est insula and 5 Como esta usted ? The Shamrock Ball was our first formal dance, it seemed we wanted to attend everything we possibly could. The boys will never forget their pleasure walks from the country back to town as freshmen, and the girls will remember the many football suppers and the fun of traveling to out-of-town games. Remember the time Duffy Mullen got caught sitting on top of the fiag pole? ln our iunior year we recall our paper drive, pom-pom sales, and the class play, in which Philip Klinger made his debut into the theater world as the madman! This year, as seniors, we watched the marvelous comeback of our '52 football team. What a record: seven wins, one loss, and one tie-and it had to be with Jeff! Remember Dale Snelling's versatility in that game? Finally came Gala Week-'nuf said! Yes, it has been twelve years spent with wonderful friends and in wonderful ways. lt's not an understate- ment when we say that Our Hearts Were Always Young and Gay.
