We should like to express our
appreciation to the many people
who have helped us with this year-
book for 1956: Mrs. T. Walter

bined efforts was our work made
more enjoyable. And now we turn
over, for your approval, THE

We hope it will serve as a re-
minder to you of your pleasant
days here at Stevensville High

Your life in high school is like crossing a breeze-
way, There will be sunny days and rainy days,
Some will be stormy and some snowy, But when you
combine all the bad and the good days you've seen
since you first set foot on the "breezeway of life,"
many years ago, and record and save the results,
you will note when you read them in the future that
they almost entirely seem pleasant.
Here in this yearbook we are recording the
many pleasant memories of this year, as we, the
graduating class of '56, take our last few steps across
this short breezeway of life,

MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1956
As you traverse the highway of life, there will be many,
road signs to guide your progress, You would be unusual if
you did not fail to read and heed some of these guide posts,
Therefore, there are two to which I would like to direct your
attention,
Sign number One: RIGHTS EQUAL RESPONSIBILITIES
In our democratic society we are blessed with the most
liberal endowment of human rights known to man, However,
we must be aware that for every right given to us there is an
accompanying responsibility to safeguard this right and use it
wisely, In a way of life where men are not told what to do,
they must decide what needs to be done and how to do it,
Then they must work to see that their decision is put into
effect,
Sign number two: RESPECT EACH INDIVIDUAL
No man exists who can say that he is truly superior to
another man, People must be judged for what they are, not
what you might want them to be, Respect for each individual
--his opinions, his beliefs, his way of life--is absolutely
necessary, if you are to be happy in this world, You need not
always agree with your neighbor, your friends or your enemies,
but you are obligated to give them the freedom to hold their
viewpoints and to argue for them,
If you will look for these signs and take heed when you
see them, I feel that you will make a worthy contribution to
your community, your country, and the world in general, I
am sure that these signs will guide you th.rough a full and
happy life,
Good Luck!

MARGARET JANE ALTHOFF
"Jane"
Course: Academic
Blonde hair--Blue eyes--5'5i"
Softball 1, 2, 4.
Everyone 's friend, that's Jane. Although she
seems quiet on the surface, she has a wonderful sense
of humor and a fine personality.
Jane is really a lover of baseball. During a World
Series, you can usually find Jane and Sis comparing
notes about the game coming up or the game just played.
As for Jane's vocation after graduation she is undecided.
But with her quiet and easy manner, we are sure she
can achieve any goal she desires.

IDA JEAN AARON

Volleyball l, 2g Glee Club 1, 23 Safety Patrol 4g Class
Secretary lg Class Vice President 2.
If you look down the hall at S. H, S. and see a pony
tail bouncing along, you can always bet it belongs to
Ida Jean, who's rushing to help Mr. Romanition com-
plete some more work. The commercial field is
strictly Ida Jean's line. She is a thrifty and accurate
typist. Her speed of seventy words a minute sent her
to Salisbury at the end of her junior year to compete
in the State Typing Contest.
Ida Jean is the sort of gal who can talk her way
into or out of any situation that may arise. She really
enjoys the good side of life. Her carefree manner
and amusing tricks have kept our class laughing in the
past six years.
Ida Jean plans to spend her future doing stenographic
work. With her ability and personality to depend on,
we are certain she will succeed.

Council Representative lg Vice President 4.
When Dickie was asked what his favorite subject is,
he said, without thinking twice, that it could be more
than one subject, girls! When he realized he had not
given the expected answer, he added that bookkeeping
is his favorite school subject.
Although he has participated in every sport offered,
he says basketball is his favorite, He has played on
the team since his tenth grade. Even though his skill
on the basketball court has helped a great deal to
make him popular, his personality has contributed as
much.
Dickie thinks Uncle Sam will be wanting him
after graduation. Whatever he may do, we wish him
all the luck possible.
Favorite saying: You ain't too bright
Parting words: Could be worse.

Safety Patrol 3, 4, Glee Club 2.
When you're walking down the hall and see an
attractive dark-haired girl standing by the office,
that's Bertie, serving her duty on the Safety Patrol.
On Friday evenings during the winter months you
can usually figure on Bertie's being with the basket-
ball team playing her position as a guard. This is
her favorite SPOFI, and she plays it well.
Bertie chose the commercial course. Ever since
the ninth grade she has followed it, taking typing,
shorthand, and bookkeeping. Of these, shorthand is her
favorite. Her future occupation, needless to say,
will be that of a stenographer.
Favorite saying: Oh, stop it!

Rodney has acquired the name "Professor" fI0m One
of our teachers. When he wears his brown-rimmed
glasses he really resembles one. Rodney is sh0rt irl
comparison to the other boys in our class, and this
fact has won him such aliases as "Teddy Bear" and
"Shortie.
The most noticeable thing about Rodney is that
he never goes to class with a pencil or paper. "Any-
body got an extra pencil?" he will repeat in five
classes a day.
For the past two years, in his capacity as barber
shop assistant, Rodney has been almost shaving people
bald-headed - -giving some mighty close crew-cuts, at
least.
We are quite sure he will succeed in his future
career.

Frank is the fellow who has a great tendency to
rip his trousers. lf he is missing from class it may
be that he is working on some extracurricular activity,
but there is a good chance he 's at home changing his
dungarees.
Frank is a quiet boy in class and one who is always
willing to abide by the decision of the majority. His
ability to respect authority will be a great help to him
in future years. From the way he talks, serving in the
Army will be his occupation. Good luck, Private

If there's a game of any kind going on, you can bet
that Sis is somewhere near. She's a fiend for sports,
as a glance at her record of activities lets you know.
Along with being a good athlete, she 's a good
student and a fine, sincere, straight-forward person.

willing to help--that is, if he can thereby get out of
a class. Speaking seriously, Mickey is remarkablv
helpful, whether it's in decorating for a dance or in
liming a field for a game.
He claims his favorite subject is physical education
Actually that is almost the only class he takes part
in. Most other class periods he spends reading books.
Mickey has one outstanding talent--teasing. As
for his occupation after graduation, he hasn't decided
definitely, but we feel sure he will accomplish worth-
while things.

team, he developed a love for basketball this year.

class activities. Tommy has been cheered many times
in baseball and soccer games, in which he is an en-
thusiastic participant.
When a trip for any project that takes us out of the
classroom, is being planned, Tommy at once is in-
terested. He is a willing worker and has often been

can adjust to any situation. Laughing and blushing
are Crane's main characteristics. He loves to tease,
but invariably blushes more than the person he is
teasing.
Frank was chosen as the most popular boy in
Stevensville High School for 1955-56. He is a class
favorite as well as a favorite throughout the school.
In Frank's sophomore year he was chosen to represent
our class in the May Court, and in our senior year he
was chosen as the best dancer of the class.
With his friendly and likable ways, Frank should
be able to succeed in anything he undertakes.
Favorite saying: Aw'right now!
Parting words: I'm long gone.

Edie, a clever girl, joined us during our senior
year and has done a lot to help our class. She is one
of our most industrious students and a great pal. A
good part of her time is spent in the library doing
homework or just reading good novels. She also en-
joys sewing and has proven to us that she is quite a
seamstress by showing off some of her smart clothes
around school. A friend to everyone and a helping
hand for those who need her, she is quite a gal with
a wonderful personality. We wish het success as a
housewife.

"Pretty, vivacious and popular" would describe
Rose perfectly. She is usually seen in the auditorium
with her pal, Pat, dancing. Whatever she does, she
gives it her best. It is interesting just to hear her talk
for she has a knack for making the most insignificant
incident seem exciting and interesting. She has been
active in school organizations, especially in the Glee
Club. Popular with students and teachers alike, she
was chosen the class favorite in her sophomore year,
After graduation she plans to become a teacher and
we are certain she will make a good one,
Favorite saying: You can get it at the drug store.
Parting words: I enjoyed every year at S. H. S.
