Iroquois Central High School - Iroquoian Yearbook (Elma, NY)

The History of the Class of 1956 We take you back to September, 1955. The place is Iroquois Central High School, which I know well since I was one of the first seniors to attend there. On the opening day of school, one question prevailed in my mind. Is this a senior which I see before me, so painstakingly trying to find his way to class, or is it just an illusion of the mind? Ah, sweet memories! I shall never forget the melodious ham- mering of the men working on the auditorium, the one and only waterless swim- ming pool in the world, gym classes in the brisk 40° temperature on our lovely campus of soft mud. One day our senior boys’ home room was presented with a real electric clock to cover the hole in the wall, and a public address system so we no longer would have to miss Mr. Corser’s comments on the college football standings. Although our auditorium wasn't ready, we managed to have assemblies in the cafeteria and gymnasium. Throughout the ye r a fine athletic tradition of good sportsmanship and fair play was maintained both in victory and defeat. 1 he fine spirit shown by our- students at the athletic events and social affairs is some- thing of which we can be justifiably boastful. This very yearbook is an example of the “Iroquois spirit” that prevails throughout the activities of the school. Many special departments afford us with opportunity for non-academic expression. I am sure that every senior who has come to Iroquois Central will consider this year one of the best he has spent at any school. Our new facilities and equipment, our administration and faculty, our conscientious maintenance and service staffs, and our loyal student body make Iroquois a school of which we can really be proud. We, the class of 1956, with our varied high school backgrounds, will take inspira- tion from our short stay at Iroquois as we emerge triumphantly into the world of tomorrow.
