, Iust as all organizations have a theme and pur- pose, so we of the Class of 1956 have our theme and purpose. Our class motto, words of sterling worth, is rich in meaning. Our purpose is to improve ourselves, so that we may be better able to serve our communities. Tibi optic modus vivendi, our class motto, meaning Life is what we choose to make it, is an excellent philosophy of life. We have been encouraged by it to do our utmost in our school life at Bridgeton High School. lt has helped us to broaden our intellectual and cultural background, preparing us for our future aims and ambitions. Our class motto we selected when we were freshmen, we chose our class colors of rose and silver, we selected the design submitted by Evelyn Kellmayer for our class banner. This banner, displaying our motto, has hung in the tradi- tional place from the balcony of the auditorium as a constant reminder that we have a responsibility as stu- dents to better ourselves in all aspects of life. Our future achievements depend inexorably on those attitudes we have developed and on those efforts we have made to be a good student during these past four years. The hours spent in Bridgeton High School have influenced our lives greatly. We pause a moment to reflect upon that day in September when we came here as inexperienced, unpolished, freshmen, also, we remem- ber the days and years that followed with the joys and vicissitudes we experienced. In these ensuing pages the story of our high school life is reviewed for us, and we have the opportunity to reflect upon all the knowledge, skills, and appreciations acquired in such a short time. Our joys have been many, our disappointments, few.
