P. Chance M. Coito R. Cook enior iuiriion lt seems iust last month that - little freshmen en- tered Washington Union as the class of 1956. lt wasn't long before we got into the swing of things, however. We were called scrubs, but we defeated the sopho- mores on initiation day and came out third in the March of Dimes Drive. ln our sophomore year we blossomed out in our bright red sweaters. We financed the prom last year, ln the Good Old Summertime, which was put on for the class of l955. Selling magazines and operating the Panther Patio are iust two of the things we did to finance the Prom. As we entered our senior and final year, we received our beautiful class rings. Guiding us this yast year were Robert Lowder, president, Robert Cook, vice president, Marlene Coito, secretary, and Paula Chance treasurer. Nancy Fritz and Diana Grimm were elected to repre- sent us in student council this year. We won the March of Dimes talent show, sponsored by the Lions Club, which aided us in winning the March of Dimes drive. Campus Queen, senior class play, was presented by us for the school and community last fall. Sponsoring and counseling us this year were Mr. Eugene Dillon, Mr. Ivan Olson, Mrs. Barbara Peterson, Mr. Earl Carter, Mrs. Marie Cavanagh, and Mr. Willis Everson. Well, now, we have reached our goal as high school students. Some will go on to college, others will go out into the world and find a place there. Always in our hearts, though, we will remember Washington Union, our alma mater. R. lowder N Fri!! D. Grimm

Mr. Hurry Gower, principal CLI CL6!Q 6Ll 5ACL! The last four years you seniors have had a rich experience, and if you have taken advantage of the opportunities that have been yours, you have a bright future and should be looking forward to it with great anticipation and with confidence. Never before has the future looked so bright for high school graduates that have prepared themselves properly to meet it. Wages have never been as high, oppor- tunities so plentiful, nor has the standard of living been at its present plane. I urge the other classes to take advantage of the opportunities that high school days afford. There is no period in your life when the efforts that you put forth will be more profitable to you than your high school days. ldleness, dodging work, shunning responsibility, defects of ones character, and formulating bad habits are almost impossible to get rid of when the realization comes that they are stumbling blocks in your struggle for success. The responsibility of the administration and teachers are to aid you with your education and to assist you in every way possible in obtaining a successful and happy life. It is our desire to do everything possible to make your high school years the most valuable and richest years of your life. The more you put into them, the richer your rewards in life will be. May I wish for each of you a successful and abundant life of happiness.
