Y-Teen proxy, loan Sutton, is served first at the Christmas Waltz. Pi7za's the latest rage among the senior girls. On May 28 members of the Class of 1956 will be graduated from Avonworth High School. The events and personalities of their high school careers will then be but memories. But it is those memories which give meaning to the illusive term, spirit of Avonworthf' We shall list some of the mem- ories. From the memories expressed and those which are inexpressible they shall know of the spirit of the school as they experi- enced it in the years they spent here. Scholastic achievements of the seniors were notable. Several members placed high in the Civic Club test. Two senior boys were entered in the semi-finals of the National Merit Scholarship League. lnterest in schol- arship was general, for one-fourth of the class maintained honor roll averages. Many members of the class held respon- sible positions in the extra-curricular activi- ties of the school. Much work was accom- plished under their guidance and leader- ship. Now see here , . . says Ted in Time Out for Ginger. Tod Egg, Mike Mostoller, lim Wepsic, and lohn Dim- ling read for their Advansed English course. The athletes of the Class of 1956 will not soon be forgotten. They contributed much to the 1954 O.V.C. champion football team and to the 1954 and 1956 basketball teams which won the section title and entered into post season WPIAL competition. The female ath- letes of the class were responsible for the victories in many varsity volleyball and bas- ketball contests. Great was the dramatic ability of the class. Members had the leading roles in Arsenic and Old Lace and in Time Out for Ginger. And then they were credited with two original productions: a take-off on Wilkens Amateur Hour and one on This ls Your Life. Memories of a different sort, perhaps, linger from the many dances sponsored by the class: Sombrero Swing, A Night in Camelot, Football Finale, and the Senior Prom. Such were the memories which belong to the members of the Class of 1956 as they were graduated from Avonworth High School. Pugf Jvil!l'fI't'7l
