JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY , .5 N 1 'TL T I Charles Cornell Richard Sanford Nancy Day Charles Hudson President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Social Chairman lRobert Loar and Sarah Roloson replaced Charles C-ornell and Richard Sanlord as class otlicersl This year has been a very special one lor the class ol '52. We started our I95O term under the capable leadership ot our sponsors: Mrs. Mary Belle Clary, Mr. R-obert McLean, and Mr. Joseph A. Ralston. Mr. Ralston was recalled into active service with the Navy in December and was replaced by Mr. Walter J. Hotchlcin. In November we demonstrated our histrionic ability by presenting the popular comedy, A Case ot Springtime . Representing our class in outstanding athletic achievements were Oene Kuhn, Bob Loar, Dick Oallogly, and Dan Burwell. They were chosen For the All Star Foot- ball Teams selected by THE COLUMBUS DISPATCI-I, Tl-IE COLUMBUS CITIZEN, the OHIO STATE JOURNAL, the PUBLIC OPINION and were unanimously selected by the coaches ot the Mid-Six league. One member ol our class, Jae Mann, a member oi the Air National Guards, was called lor active duty the tirst ot February. Also joining Uncle Sam's tighting Iorces were Charles Cornell and Richard San- Iord, who Ielt the classroom to enlist in the Army and Navy respectively. Sponsoring a paper drive and selling Christmas cards were only two ol the events which showed our class spirit. The crowning achievement -ol the year's activities was our Junior-Senior Prom.

type twenty words in the hole ! ln Chemistry lab Tom Behnke and Delbert Cruit performed many hazardous experiments according to their own procedure while others nervously followed the directions explicitly that their lab partners were reading. Martha Watkins and Cora Van Winkle were elected iunior attendants for home- coming. The cast of our junior class play, Popularity Plus, not only learned their lines but also were taught the skillful art of knitting under the careful direction of Della Howard. One Saturday night in December iunior class members could be seen dashing madly through the streets of Westerville. This was the night of our class party and scav- anger hunt. After the winning team had received their prizes, we presented clever skits and ended the evening with dancing. News spread that in Home Room 201 there was a hog. lt turned out to be a big wooden pig carved by Kenny Lowry. For a while it secretly attended classes until Mr. Stallings expelled it. All this year everyone of us worked deligently to earn money for a really fine Junior-Senior. This dance, which had l-ong been anticipated, satistied our highest dreams. Now we are seniors and are looking back on our schools days. What fun it was being one big happy family in 207 with Mr. Bowers and Mr. Murphy! The former was considered as our Brother, and the latter, as our Papa. Mr. Morris and Mr. Bancroft added zest to the class party by ioining in a fast game of musical chairs. Westerville surprised the outside world by becoming the great football cham- pions of the Mid-Six. Lois Noble, Ruth Sanford, and Doris Compton, our queen and attendants-were honored at the homecoming game and dance at which the swing band played. in one pep rally Craig Gifford and David Demorest were entertaining us with a skit called A Tale of Defeat. This performance resulted in a sore toil for Craig as the sturdy little barrell that Phil Graf finally brought iust couldn't hold him. Who would have guessed on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving that the Big Snow would keep us from schoollfor a week and a half? Everyone had a wonder- ful time coasting and skiing. When Mr. Ralston was called back into the Navy, we lost a good friend and teacher whom none of us shall ever forget. Bob Hall, also left to enlist his service in the Army. The class was now represented in all branches of the armed services since Dick Kiser had joined the Navy and Phil Kaiser, the Marines, in our iunior year. Good luck to them all! More ice and snow again kept us fr-om school the last week of January-another vacation and more ice skating! Mrs. G. spent many nerve-racking hours with Mr. Bowers rehearsing our musical play, Sing a Song of Sixteen. Naturally it was a terrific hit! Now here it is our own Senior Assembly and those twelve long years are behind us. Perhaps most of us did complain at times, but come to think of it, we've really en- ioyed them. We'll miss these familiar old halls and your friendly faces, and hope that you'll always remember us as that Class of '5i. Jane and Martha Page Twenty one
