ix '31 INTRODUCTION This is Monticello High School, as it appeared on August 30, 1954--the first day of school for the 1954-55 year. It was a peaceful scene, as the rush of the school year had yet to get into full swing, as we made new acquaintances and renewed old ones, and as we, the senior class of 1955 started our last year at Monti High. Yet, it was a noisy scene as we hadn't yet settled down to the ways of school and as we began to prepare for our first football game -- with West Liberty -- our first really big event of the school year. Between the pages of this annual you will find a history of the school year 1954-55. ln it you will meet our teachers, advisors, and those behind the scenes who helped our school system to run smoothly. This is a photograph album picturing our banquets and big dances, such as Junior- Senior, Homecoming, and the M Club banquet. You will find it a sports catalogue of the high lights of our football, baseball, basketball, and track seasons as Monti's Panthers fought it out with seven other potent conference rivals. You may call it a diary, for it records our everyday life: classes, roaming in the halls, friends, and our fun both in and out of school. Look ahead through the following pages, then, and follow with us as we, the Class of '55 record our life during our last year together at Monti High, and a short year it was. Look ahead, then and see how we lived, who our schoolmates were, who 2 our leaders were, and see yourself as you helped us form this book which, we ,.. U hope, will hold for us all our treasured I-, ',?Q4--, V' memories of friends and classmates at ' ' ' ' dear old Monti High. li'
