Four years ago we entered our freshman year of high school. For the first time we had our own class officers and our first class party, a hayride. In the spring we were represented by four of our classmates in the queens court on May Day. The next thing we knew we were sopho- mores. Again we elected our class officers with Howard Newcomer as president. We had a rollicking time at our class party, an old-fash- ioned square dance. The boys represented our class in football and basketball. The highlight of this year was the day We ordered our class rings. At last it seemed like we might someday be seniors. Our junior year brought us one step higher. Early in November our long-awaited class rings came. Such proud people you never saw. A class meeting was called to elect our officers. Read Roberts, presidentg john Long, vice-presi- dent: Irene Hoover, secretary, and Carolyn Leonard, treasurer, worked together on many different projects during the year. One project in which the whole class participated was sell- ing magazine subscriptions to raise money for the prom fund. Our school was represented at the State F.H.A. by Patricia Deeter, Nancy La- 20 Bute, and Faye Sweitzer. Edison Paul won first prize in a dairying contest and, along with the FPA. advisor, Mr. Mazer, traveled to lowa. This year Irene Hoover and Gloria Keller were the attendants for May Day. Howard Newcomer and Robert Zimmerman were their escorts. In May the juniors helped plan for the prom which was the first extended prom ever held in our school. Here it is--A-1956! We, the class of l956, have something no one can take away from us-our memories. As we returned to school for the last time, many new duties awaited us. Secretaries were assigned to the faculty providing us with training for work after graduation. Many of the boys were members of our athletic teams, and we had many classmates in band and orches- tra. We had three cheerleaders in our class. ln january, Patricia Naughton won the local Maple Princess contest and represented us in the Maple Queen Contest in johnstown on Feb- ruary 22. Finally, May 21, l956 was the day of our commencement. Our class was together for the last time and We parted, each with his own hopes for the future.
