17 ,K NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: Seated: Patricia Duemmer, Historian William Long, Vice Presi dent: Ruth Tuthillg David Hecht, Co-ordinator, Standing Sandra Huber President Marilyn Wil liams, Treasurer: Frances Asquith, Secretary. A PRIVILEGE given to only a very few of our Senior Class is membership in the National Honor Society, At Clarence it is one of the most important organizations because it promotes good citizenship, provides a goal for which every student may strive, and aids th.e school in many ways. The Society's four keystones--charac- ter, leadership, scholarship, and service- -are the stand- ards upon which each member is chosen and must live. In April, 1955, the induction ceremony took place for the members of our Class of '56, The candlelight service, the tapping and the presentation of tokens made our initiation very meaningful. It is our hope that the National Honor Society will remain in as high esteem in the future as it has in the past, and that coming mem- bers will be fortunate enough to have the excellent guid ance of our advisor, Mr, Delbert Repp. l'7 ON L HONO SO IE 4:-J-i1252Ifft:5'-.2 '-fgl'?1 'L-.

,nik SENIOR CLASS OFFICEIS: Presi- dent, David SmithgVice President, Ray Shermang Treasurer, William Long, Secretary, Margaret Krehbiel. IT was at Parker High ir1 1950 that many of us met in seventh grade. Eighth grade fotmd us in a beau- tiful new building, with our entire district centralized, As freshmen, led by President Ray Sherman, we had our first big dance-the Frosh Frolic, Mag Kreh biel and Bill Long commenced four year careers as class secretary and class treasurer, respectively. With Neil Castren as president in our sophomore year, we raised money by selling Christmas cards and Doreen Metke placed as top salesman. Our Soph Hop, with the dreamy theme of Moonlight Sere- nade, contributed to another successful year. We were juniors under the leadership of our re-elected president, Neil Castren, The Jr. Prom had a regal air with the theme of a French Coronation with King Castren and Queen Krehbiel reigning. Our boys were playing Varsity sports and we were so proud of the terrific records they set throughout the years. Class Day came and we accepted the challenge of our predecessors-and aspired to reach an even higher goal, Dave Smith led the way in our busiest year, Our treasury swelled with profits from our paper drive many dances, and our play. Nancy Roosa topped the entire class in magazine sales, The Crystal Ball our Christmas Dance, was beautiful, with the phantom as the main attraction. We were privileged to be the last class to make the u-ip to that fabulous town--New York. And as our eyes grow misty at the thought of graduation, we realize that June 1956 will come and we will leave these hallowed halls--leave them to those who have their senior year ahead--the great- est year of all. 16
