)L in liars President, Richard Herbst Vice-President, Patricia Dalton Secretary, Mary Burke Treasurer, Ernest Darche Social Chairman, Mildred Tierney Class Adviser, Albert Farnsworth Our Junior year at S. T. C. was one we shall long remember. Our first activity of the year found us in the state of “Oklahoma,” singing and acting to the various songs of that musical hit, as our contribution to Class Week. We shall never forget November 19, our Cinderella Ball, com- plete with silver slippers, stars, streamers, and our Junior Queen, Mildred Tierney. All too soon, the second semester arrived, and we bade adieu to our elementaries, but left the secondaries to represent the Class of ' 51 at S. T. C. until we were reunited again in June. Sophomores at last! And we found ourselves serving as hosts to the Fresh- men at a barn dance held in our gym. Everyone agreed that it was one of the best Freshman-Sophomore parties to date. Were you there when we presented the Sophomore Class Assembly? The key words were originality, co-operation, and one hundred per cent participation. Our May Dance was the best ever. Sorry that some of us had to miss the big occasion of the year when we crowned the May Queen. It was another highlight in the events sponsored by the Class of 1952. We have two years to give you more outstanding events.

Barlow “One for all, all for onel From the first day that we bewildered Freshmen entered the portals of S. T. C. in Septmber, 1949, that has been our motto. We first displayed our unity to the upper-classmen the day we presented our unique assembly in the form of a minstrel show, complete with darkies and a real “sho-nuf Kentucky colonel. We were initiated into the spirit of S. T. C. at a barn dance, at which the Sophomores played host to us. This dance gave us our first glimpse of the friendliness found in our adopted home. From that night on, we Freshmen put aside all other thoughts and placed S. T. C. first in our hearts. In February came another chance to display our class unity on the occasion of our Valentine Dance. The gym was decorated in the usual Valentine motif — the rollicking Dan Cupids symbolizing our love for our new home, and huge, grey hearts exemplifying the tremendous heart of the college. All too soon our frst year at S. T. C. came to a close. A year of hard work inter- mingled with good times that are the stuff of which happy memories are made. Now, with the fnal exams over, we leave behind us the lowly status of Freshmen, and go for- ward eagerly into the ranks of upper-classmen come September, 1950.
