on individuals of our class, First prize was awarded to Sinclair Cottman and Ruth Collins for being best dancers, Anita Stewart was awarded first prize in the Battle of Words contest, Now it so happened at the beginning of the third year, we found ourselves divided, and our homeroom teachers spake unto us, saying: Go gather ye in a body, and organ- ize yourselves into a class, that ye may gain in strength, and that your courage may long endure, And as they spake unto us, so was it done, and we chose our wisest ones to be our leaders, Among these were; Anita Stewart, President; Shirley Handy, Vice President; and Martha Goslee, Secretary. And it came to pass, in the same year, that the class was found in much sorrow, for it was here that we lost one of our dearly beloved classmates, Martha Ellen Goslee, who was a great success in all of her doings, Because God thought that it was best, he called her fromm all the rest, We then bade her farewell, and sorrowfully passed on our way without her, Now in the same year Doris Elsey was awarded first prize in an essay contest, Car- lotta Robinson a nd Peggy Nutter participated in singing in the Maryland All-State Cho- rus, And lo, the whole number at the end of the third year was 86, Now this, the fourth year in the history of this great prodigious class of 1955-56, has been one of much hard labor; but little resting by the wayside; for preparations were being made ready for the final departure from school, So far many activities were sponsored as the crowning of Alfreda Handy for Miss Salisbury High. The runners up were Carlotta Robinson, Anita Stewart, Shelby Jones, and Peggy Nutter, The football team was not complete without the ardent zeal of Donald Toadvine and George Adkins, There were other activities, however, we will not be able to mention, Now the curtains are slowly closing, and this means a great deal to us, for we shall always be trying to reach the top, but we must still remember like the poet says, Heaven is not reached by a single bound, but we build the ladder by which we rise, from the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, and mount each summit round by round,
