After graduating In 19U2, she took a one year post graduate course and Immediately follow- ing this, entered Watertown School of Commerce. Succeed- ing her graduation In 19hh$ Miss Salter was employed by an Insurance company In Watertown, until her family, moved to Elllsburg. Following this event. Miss Salter was employ- ed at the Union Academy, and for nine years has shown stead- fast, dutiful service. In gratitude for uncountable hours of earnest toil and many years of genuine service, we would like the dedication of the 1956 TOWER to be shared by Mr. Ernest G. Shaad and his secretarv Miss Virginia A. Salter. Mr. Shaad graduated from Kansas State College in 19lU« In the year 193U he received the master's degree in education at Syracuse University. Mr. Shaad undertook the position of principal of Belleville Union Academy, in 1927 which was the beginning of a most sacrificial and responsible position. Besides this administrative position,he for five years taught General Science and for fifteen years taught Agriculture. For twenty-nine years Mr. Shaad has worked with zeal and resolution. His vast ambition has attained an insurmountable standard in the scholastic achievement of Union Academy. Truly the contribution which his leadership has founded will long be remembered and his steadfast, loyal service will stand as an inspiration to those who will follow. As he leaves we want him to know that he has the best wishes of the school and community. 3 SENIORS Mrs. Chapman welcomed twenty-eight students to the freshman class. IXiring the year, we had several class parties. The class dwindled, and by the time we met Mrs. Bassette, we were only twenty-two in number. Our class rings arrived during the first week of our Junior year. Mr. Greene helped us plan our junior prom, Over the Rainbow,” which was held in May. The boys kept leaving until we had but three left. With Mrs. Eastman s help, we presented our senior play, ”Miss Adventure in November. We have enjoyed earning money for a senior trip which we hope to afford in June.

The cast consisted of Penny Pelton, Jean Eastman, Joyce Reed, Ann Ainsworth, Jane Aurell, Nancy Fargo, Norma Fargo, Cynthia Brown, Marjorie Clark, Kenneth Bonl, William Eastman, Nancy Young and Dale Huffstater. Nancy Fayette, Jean Barney and Connie Joslyn composed the efficient work crew. The new auditorium was well filled both evenings and netted the class the handsome sum of $320. Junior Prom Prophecy Enjoying life in her new creation, a round mobile home, Nancy Young, while watching her space-o-vision set, was indeed surprised by a new s flash announcing Nancy Fargo as winner of The Nobel Prize for Journalism. Soon after that, she picked up the World Gazette and saw that Jean Eastman was librarian in the Kremlin, and was alarmed by the fact that U. S. leaders had calculated that she might soon be seen in Siberia. Further down the page, she read that Cynthia Brown was to be Marilyn Monroe for 1965 To the left of this article, she read that Jane Aureli was in Paris modeling French bathing suits working for her MRS. degree. In the center of the page, she noticed that Jean Barney had been named the World s Woman of Sports after her daring fete of swimming the Atlantic Ocean. Turning the page, she was shocked that Joyce Reed was now running competition with Ava Gardner, in Reno for her fourth divorce. In an article right beside that, she viewed Marjorie Clark s name as editor of the new Dietitians Almanac Cut Your Hangover In Half. The new car, that not only runs but flies, invented by Dale Huffstater was making the news everywhere. Penny Pelton s Inside Russia, after her tour as an expert on milking cows, after four years at Cornell, was headlining everyone s newspaper. Turning to the third page, she saw that Connie Joslyn had been granted honors after her nursing practices in Germany. Searching the page more closely, she read that Kenneth Bonl had Just been elected presi- dent of a green cheese factory in Switzerland. As she read further in the article, she noticed Janet Soderholm a name and found that she was stenographer for Presi- dent Ken Boni. In the hair dressers column, she noticed that Nancy Fayette had Just patented her invention for the longest eyelashes in the world. (False ones that is.) Looking at the back page, she saw Ann Ainsworth s name headlining the news, after Just cleaning Liberace s false teeth. The leading article was one about Bill Eastman, and she was shocked to read that he had Just been elected president of the Union for Farmers, in Washington. In the middle of the page, she noticed Norma Fargo s picture and reading under it found that the modern Cinderella had finally captured her ’dreamboat', Frank Sinatra. Nearing the bottom of the page, she found a letter from Nancy Fargo, telling that she had located the class of 1956, and she was urging all of our members to be sure to attend the Graduates1 Banquet this June. 13 16 Mr9.
