74a 'ydaale The 84th annual commencement of the Attica High School was held Friday evening, May 25, in the high school gymnasium. Marching up the aisle to the familiar strains of Pomp and Circumstance were 62 proud members of the class of Nineteen-hundred fifty-six, 45 young men and only 17 misses. After the invocation given by Judy Richey, the Attica High School band played Begin the Beguine under the direction of Mr. McCarty. Our class president, Ben Day, then gave a well-expressed Welcome to parents, faculty, relatives, and friends. Four speeches followed, both bidding farewell to the old and hailing the new life ahead of us. First was Farewell to the Halls of Ivy given by Janie Snell who recalled all our memories, dates, good times, study, fa- miliar classrooms, etc. of the past four years. Next came, The Past As A Foundation by Jim Marr, who compared our formal education to the foun- dation for building a house. The Salutatorian of our class, Bob Shepherd, talked on We Survey our Today, combining all of our modern day wonders to show what we possess and the Valedictorian of the Class of '56, Ed Nelson, summed up all in Today Endsg Tomorrow Begins. The Senior Ensemble, composed of Janie Snell, Nancy Terrell, Nancy Landis, Kay Welsh, Harlan Kincade, Harvey Helmerick, Jim Leath, Francis Oteham, and Russell Morgan, then sang the beautiful Halls of lvy, accompanied by Mrs. Schramn. Next came the presentation of diplomas by Supt. J. B. Troncin, who also gave a talk on our future as American citizens. Our principal, Billy Abel, then pre- sented the awards to outstanding graduates of the Senior Class of 1956. Among those given at this time were the following: T. Ried Ziegler-Ed Nelson, J. Frank McDermond-Janie Snell, Tri-Kappa-Bob Shepherd, Lion's Club-Hugh Enicksg Home-Economics-Nancy Terrell, D. A. R. -Janie Snellg D. A. R. American History Award-Ed Nelson, Business and Professional Women's Award-Janie Snell, Max and Sophia Newmark Award-Bob Shepherd, Psi Iota Xi Award-Jim Leathg Arion Award-Jim Marr, A. A. U. W. -Connie Turpin. The Seniors much anticipated evening ended with the benediction given by Kay Welch and then we started down the steps to greet relatives and to bid a fond farewell to friends we've made for life. At last ------ we were Alumnus of Attica High and now, adult citizens in the outside world. And even yet-deep down-we gave a sigh, for the days behind and for just a little fear of what lay in store for us. But still-this we know-that we are not alone, for with us go the heartfelt hopes and prayers of parents, teachers, and friends, as well as 61 others feeling just as we-the members of the Class of 1956. 1
