 T« llie class of 1956: There is litlle satisfaction in thoughtless, off-hand, casual service. To serve well, one must know how to serve. Happily you have had an opportunity to prepare well for service. You have, during the past three years, trained your minds, strengthened your personalities and increased your skills. While real service brings great personal satis- faction aside from am attendant rewards, thoughtless action brings little or nothing. As you broaden your horizons many opportunities for helping your fellowman will come. A test of your education will be whether you are able to seize these opportunities. It has been a pleasure to work with and to know each one of you this year. Accept my personal congratulations on your graduation and my best wishes for a full and happy life. Sincerely. ALGER C. WHITCRAFT

'rtyiatony 02{ z po t 07r zc t It seems like only yesterday, but in reality it lias been three years since we. the class of 1956, entered Tredyffrin-Easttown Senior High as timid sopho- mores. Our class officers were F.mil Capetola. President: Alicia Allman. Vice President; Jeanette Evans, Secretary; and Hank Repseha. Treasurer. Mr. Rosato was not only our history teacher but also our class sponsor. Remember our first dance, tbe Lollipop Hop? We shall never forget the mice in our lockers nor the frogs in biology. Somehow, we passed our exams to end our first year in high school. Our junior year was a busy one. Under the guidance of Mr. Monahan we elected Emil Capetola as President, Allicia Allman as Vice President. Maigie Kirk as Secretary, and Janet Meszaros as Treasurer. Both the football and cross-country teams won their respective Chest-Mont championships. The big event of the year was the Glass Slipper Ball where we crowned Patty Meyer as the lovely May Queen. The whole school was suffering from an epidemic of spring fever as we prepared for our exams. As our junior year ended we left behind us the old familiar halls of T-E and many pleasant (and some not so pleasant) memories. Our spirit, however, was carried with us to the beautiful, new Conestoga Senior High School. At long last we were seniors, and especially proud ones, too. We loved our new school, although we felt as if we had traveled many miles wdien we finally reached chemistry after coming from gym. We were determined to make Conestoga not only well-known but also well liked by everyone. With Mr. Whitcraft as our class sponsor we elected Emil Capetola. Presi- dent; Eugene Ealasco. Vice President; Margie Kirk. Secretary: and Janet Meszaros, Treasurer. We added to our class treasury with a very successful magazine drive and a ver successful class supper. We were sorry to see Miss Nash leave, after doing such a fine job as a member of our faculty and as the sponsor ol the Student Council. 1'be football team recaptured the Chest-Mont Championship while the girls' hockey team celebrated an undefeated season. Our busy schedules of basketball games, proms, the senior play, the music festival, and our research papers left little time for studving. The trip to New't ork was an event never to be forgotten. Finally graduation brought our happy, carefree school days to a close.
