P age 63 Athletics 3 ln all ages, the youth of a nation has been its life. Likewise, the 'teenagers have been the ones to ignite the spark of music. Our music to- day, Whether it be jazz, popular, rock and roll, or just easy to listen to music, has been put in a classification ot popularity by the 'teenagers in various communities. For this reason we see that it is only fitting to dedicate this l956 Spartan Life to the 'teenager They are the ones who have made Rhythm and Blues the type of music associated with this era. 4 Am-mfs?

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Ever since this class entered high school, they have anticipated the final step of graduation before stepping out into the World. Many projects have been accomplished in the four years of fun and labor together . . . initiation of the Frosh, mixers, decorating for baccalaureate, junior Prom, planning the Senior Banquet, Senior Play, just to name a few. Commencement will end their brief sojourn at Bainbridge High School. As the classmates travel the last few days of their senior year together, many plans are made for the fu- ture, but none can say that the memories of high school could ever be re- placed.
