GALLOPING GI-IOST Class History of 1956 Since 1949, when We were sixth graders, the class of 1956 has exper- ienced seven years of hard work, concentrated study, fun and companion- ship. All of these are elements which have been combined in the test tube of life and has produced the complicated mixture of just plain - school days. An outstanding quality of our class is our ability to be different. We find it an unusually hard feat to follow a cut and dry, previously laid out pattern when we undertake projects of any shape or manner. This trait was exemplified when our choice of class rings was made. We boast of being the only class with stones in our rings. Major changes have also been made by us in the yearbook.

We enthusiast- ically raised a goodly sum of nearly 'thirteen hundred dollars with one goal in mind - NEW YORK CITY. The class of 1956 has been well represented along the avenues of music, sports, dramatics, and debating. An unusual number of the class has participated and excelled in all of these fields. Scholastically, we have been an exceptional group. Proof of this is the fact that nearly fifty per cent intend to seek higher education. Dear Ruth, our senior play, will long live in our book of memories. The cast, consisting of five boys and five girls, did a fine job. In the sixth grade we had our first taste of class meetings. We ended this year with the same number of twenty-seven, having gained Gladys Habel and losing Deanna Fowler. Mrs. Birchard, our seventh grade teacher, struggled hard to teach us civics and science, along with Mrs. Gray, who tried her best at arithmetic and English. The moneymaking project this year was our social which we sponsored with the eighth graders. The big event of the year was the Christmas pageant, which we put on in that GREAT BIG ASSEMBLY ROOM. David Wakefield played the part of Joseph, and Rosalie Holden, Mary, with the rest of the class trying their best to look angelic This year we welcomed to our number Virginia Goodrich and Marilyn Benoir, the latter of whom left us that year. Miss Strong, our eighth grade teacher, attempted to introduce us to algebra. How well we remember that devilish instigator, Royce Andrews! We had a large lost and found department that year, which was -- Found for gainedb -- Katherine Hodgdon, Barbara Turner, Wayne Martell, Leon Sherman, Gladys Habel and Carol Cole.
