SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Mr. Fisher, Mr. Belden, Miss Commer, Mr. Wegner, Mrs. Urquhart, Miss Sebesta, Mr. Smith, Miss Henry With timid hearts We, the class of 1955, in 1952 were thrust into the fearful pande- monium of senior high school on sign-up day. With no less fear, a day later, We faced teachers known to us only by the not too favorable comments of those who had gone before us. These were the people who were supposed to drag us through the maze of hopelessly long books and present us, three years hence, as seniors with enough knowl- edge to merit a diploma. Under the leadership of Lee Dabagia, Jim Hurst, and Mavis Brantg and under the advice of Miss Robinson and Mr. Wegner, we spent the major part of our sophomore year trying to imitate the Ways, whether good or bad, of the upper classmeng and in trying to meet the hopelessly high standards of these senior high teachers. 26

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Mavis Brant, Lee Dabagia, John Henry With meek junior voices and then with voices having the swell of importance, We peddled our gastronomical Wares to the screaming fans who were all convinced of the fact that We should sit down because We were doors and not Windows. On the heels of this exertion came the preparations for the first open prom in the modern history of Elston High. The same class officers led us, but poor Mr. Fisher and Miss Commer had the headache this year. Then came the final stretch through which We as seniors coasted, slaved, or play- ed, led by Lee Dabagia, John Henry, and Mavis Brant and guided by Mrs. Urquhart and Mr. Wegner. The first strangeness, and then the pride of being the most experienced students is unforgettable. Ranking with these things in importance is that first morn- ing in senior sponsor, and Hnally the awesome dignity of graduation. These are the things that are in store for you when you come to the end of the scholastic road. 27
