Under the guidance of our Senior class president, Noel Eichenlaub, we entered a busy, whirling twelfth and last year in high school. After an interesting Senior Dayn of visiting the various local indus- tries, rehearsals began for the Senior play. Sharon McGowan, secretary of the class, and Ted McClan- ahan, vice-president of the class, were in charge of the play, Squaring the Circle. The play, which was a Russian comedy, was very well received by the public. Preceding Christmas the Senior dance, Sleighride Serenade, was given. We have worked together in maintaining the highest standards of school life. During December, 120 ambitious Seniors competed for positions on the Senior Scholarship Team. From this tremendous group 66 versatile students were chosen. Many of us brought well-deserved recognition to Fairmont by winning numerous scholarships to schools all over the country. After being honored -by the Juniors with a beauti- ful ,junior-Senior Prom, we Seniors walked the hal- lowed halls of Fairmont for the last time as students. Seniors of ' As we the graduating class of 1956, look back upon three memorable years, many fond memories are recalled. It seems but yesterday since we, the class of 1956, entered dear old Fairmont High School. The times we have had can only be told by us who have enjoyed them immensely. For three years we have struggled with the duties of our lessons, but we shall not make it sound so harsh. Surely no one can ever forget even one day that has been spent here in the halls of Fairmont High School. As bewildered sophomores we first gained the recognition of the rest of the student body by the presentation of the sophomore assembly. Since Dragnet was the rage of the year, it became the theme of that unusual production. We didn't remain idle very long. In March, we invited the rest of the student body to the sophomore dance, Shamrock Swirlf' This dance, commemorating good old St. Patrick, was a big hit. During that year we, as soph- omores, contributed to the winning of the Miami Valley League Championship in football. As starry-eyed Juniors, we experienced an ex- tremely busy and exciting year. At the top of the tumult, Lee Tussing, who was a dynamic class pres- ident, led the class. Among the many social activities of Fairmont, the dance of the year, Cupid's Capers was given. The presentation of this delightful dance was ably assisted by Mr. jack Fouts. Hi-lighted by the music of Marshall Reeds band and accompanied by clever decorations depicting Cupid and of course, his Capers, a terrific time was had by all. On March 26 and 27, the comedy play, Charley's Aunt, was portrayed by John Goetcheus. In the midst of trying to get passing grades and dreaming of the forthcom- ing summer vacation, we as juniors paid our respects to the graduating Seniors with the Junior-Senior Banquet and the Junior-Senior Prom. The unusual theme of the banquet was Judgment Day, and the fates of the Seniors were decided. The program ended memorably with Gary Clark leading the cast in sing- ing You,ll Never Walk Alone. The last, but not least, accomplishment that year was the Junior-Senior Prom. Dancing to the music of the Saum Brothers amid the oceanic decorations that carried out the theme of Underwater,', all enjoyed a grand time. Now our journey through the grades has come to an end. Our class has achieved much not only in the past but who knows what the future may hold for us. Now we have come to the realization that at last the time is here for choosing our life's work. No doubt some of our classmates will delve further into the aquirement of knowledge. Others have to make their start in the world now. There is no doubt but that every member of the class of 1956 will be a great success. Have we not athletes, artists, brilliant scholars, scientists, musicians, and all of the others too numerous to mention? Our class has produced much talent and achieved many great things during the course of three years. In closing we sincerely hope that all future classes of Fairmont High will keep in mind our scholarship and school spirit which are so necessary for the pro- gress of a school. We wish the Senior Classes that are to come, all the success and even more than we hlave had. With a feeling of All's well that ends well, the class of 1956 lbids a fond but reluctant farewell to Fairmont High School.
