eniot gfaid 19li.4totq We, the class of 1956, have passed many seasons in the class- room. Although not all of us began our education in Evanston, we have become closely interwoven in our relationships throughout the elementary grades and high school. Our first glimpse of knowledge came with our entrance into the first grade, where Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Wardle, Miss Gerrard, and Miss Smith greeted us at our different grade schools. The year 1950 found us members of the Evanston Junior High where club, class dances and the various assemblies captivated our inter- ests. Junior High cheerleaders from the class of '56 were Janice El- mer, Kay Barnes, Sally Putnam, Sharon Palmer, and Adrienne McPhie. Janice Elmer, Kay Barnes, and Adrienne McPhie were also elected cheerleaders of the Senior High. Seventy freshmen assembled in the auditorium May 21, 1953, for promotion exercises into the Senior High. Valedictorian was Adri- enne McPhie, salutatorian, Leora Danks. Chosen as best all-around girl and boy were Janice Elmer and Jon Lunsford. We had the distinc- tion of receiving the citizenship cup in the eighth and ninth grades. Representing song titles, we entered our sophomore year. The annual water fight was victorious for us, the underclassmen. Eye- lids, heavy with sleep, were forced open at 5 A. M. September 18, 1953, as we trekked up the HEN Hill to clear the debris left by the seniors the night before, when they traditionally burned the 'Eng nStardustn brings to mind our Sophomore Stomp, as the lilting strains of this lovely melody flowed rhythmically through the beauti- fully decorated gymnasium. Our newly acquired class rings glittered proudly as each junior displayed his treasured possession on November 19, 1954. Dell Atkin- son and Geraldine Campbell reigned supreme over the Junior Prom. It truly fitted its theme, 'Some Enchanted Evening.' Our senior year! At last after twelve years we have achieved this anticipated honor. Homecoming royalty elected from the Senior Class were Adrienne McPhie and Dell Atkinson. The annual firing of the WEN became our pleasurable duty, and one of our last tributes to EHS. 'The Swan of Yictory,' a plumed bird of pure white, bearing the qgeen and her attendants, gained first place in the Homecoming par- a e. Our mothers honored us at a banquet, April 27, followed by the Senior Hop, our last class dance. The 18th of May marked a milestone in the lives of 62 graduating seniors, as we received our diplomas from the Evanston Senior High School. Now, having reached the final rung of the ladder, we can look back proudly and reminiscently at the fond memories we shared at our nsecond home.n We bid you adieu as we leave EHS in your hands.
