For four years the '55 seniors have uead through these halls. At last they have come to the end of their high school careers and soon each will step into differ- ent walks of life. The memories will linger and the knowledge they have learned here will be beneficial throughout their lives. In the fall of '51 unaware of the complexities with which they would meet, two hundred and four freshmen stepped through giant doors into high school life. These freshmen were the first and last freshmen class to enter the beautiful new high school building in April of '52, As sophomores, the class of '55 began learning the ropes, as if apprentices, learning the steps to become juniors. They began building their treasury for the big event they would sponsor during their junior year, the Junior-Senior Prom. As juniors they worked in concessions and presented a successful three-act play putting more funds in their treasury for the prom in the spring. With the coming of spring their hard work and long hours rewarded them with a highly successful prom. Upon reaching the senior stage the paths which they have known for four long years are suddenly changed for those they do not know. As their footsteps cross over the threshold for the last time taking them to newer and more challenging walks of life, the students pause a moment to secure in their minds their high school memories.
